marching our army into disputed territory, in

Congress, who unqueationab!e have the power,
should put and end to the war on Just and hons
orable principle,
After agreeing upon the terms on which a
treaty should b made, they should call upon
the Executive, BY resolution, to offer a peace
to Mexico upon that basis; and, during the
negotiation, hostilities should Do suspended.--
If the president shall REFUGE to do this, in the
m lilary appropriation bills, the army should
be required to take such positions as shall car
~ out the views Of Congress. These bills,
the President could not veto, and he would be
bound BY their requirements. This may be
done by the House.
| hope Congress will refuse to issue any
more Treasury notes, The notes demanded
