orabe Senator from Virginia that we had bes, 60
home, leaving the purse and the sword IN the un-
controlled possession Of tho President, and, above
all things, never 10 make party bank, Why. sir,
does he, with al. his knowledge OF the conflicting
opinions which prevail here, and have prevailed
believe that we ever caG make 4 bank but by the
votes n one party who IN favor Of IT, ~ opposi

precIte this expression % opinion from that gentle
man the more, because, although the honorable
Senate, pgole,scs not 10 know the opinions Of the
President, Il Certainly does turn olt n iGc sequel
