must be the legitimate consequence Of
pushing these aggressive and invasive

the whole OF her territory, or suppose
-youhavc the whole under your control,
how much do you contemplate 3perma.

them from doing it now, at this very
moment, instead of ,oyerruning the
whole country, and, after incurring all
the expense. attending further invasive
operations, being compelled TO content
themselves with what they have at ess
enl? What prevents the President from
taking by his army now as much as he
wants? You can do nothing more by
carrying on the war than you have al
