Representatives, and it will be whether the
President who has vetoed three bills upon principle,
will sign obnoxious one through fear.
And shall the Democratic party of the country
stand idly by and say, what is all this to us Shall
President who has, Hercules like, knocked of three
heads of the HYDRA and whose club is now ready to
knock down the fourth, be left alone in the field of

unless the Democrats in Congress march boldly to
the rescue, the People will march themselves to
the support of their defender
Ii will not answer to say we disapproved OF this
thing that thing, but it will be required of ey
