Under what appears to me, therefore, the soundest
considerations Of public policy, and in view OF the IN
terests Of every branch OF domestic industry, return
you the bill, with these my objections 10 its becoming

take occasion emphatically to repeat my anxious
desire 10 cooperate with Congress in the passing oil
law which, while it shall assist IN supplying the wants
of the treasury, and establish public credit shall al.

After all, the effect of what do IS substantially to
call on Congress TO reconsider the subject. H. on
such consideration majority OF twothlrds OF both
Houses should be in favor of the measure, 1t will be-
come law, notwithstanding my objections in case
of clear and ma nfest error on the part OF the Pres
dent the presumption Of the Constitution 49, that such
maiorities will be found Should they be so found IN
this case, having consceniionsly discharged my own
duty, shall cheerfuy acquiesce in the result
