But MIR. President, there is another objection which
the gentleman overlooks and which makes wide diff

Mr. President II is not regular TO make snpposuons IN
regard to what may happen elsewhere. The duty OF
each department OF the government - to do what deems
TO be right The Senate do what supposes TO be
right, and presume that the House will do the
