 ! The treaty in relation to the boundary difficulties will meet with vigorous oppo- sition in the Senate, and the debate will show how little of sincerity there is in the 1 professions of some who seemed to desire q settlement of our border troubles. The ultra Locos will oppose the treaty for politi- l cal purposes. Some of the Southern sena- tors will oppose it because the Creole case is not included in the negotiation. The treaty is honorable to both parties A fear full responsibility will rest upon those who 1 by refusing to ratify treaty fair and liberal in its terms, framed by mutual concessions 1 involve the two nations in a war which would be calamitous to both.

In the, ain hope of bringing Congress into contempt, and thus securing political capital for himself, he will defeat all legis- lative action designed to revive the energies of the people.
