Now, sir, the result will bear us out in the po-
sition which we took in November, 1915, upon
the Oregon question. Very few men ventured
the opinion at that day, that this government
could, would, or should fall back upon 40; but il
Yves done.
History bears US out in that proposition.
we have ventured another upon this Mexican
question, and we ,reiterate it, to wits that there

and that: should Mexico continue without a re-
cognized government, and without accepting
