the most perfect amily and good feeling.
concur, sir, with the honorable Senator from Alabama
(Mr kINs in thinking that it perhaps hardly
ssy to have communicated this letter Congress at ALL but
at the time do that any harm can result from
the communication Of it. The Presidents not choosing to
enter into any negotiations and perhaps negotiations being
necessary the case thought proper communicate the let
ter to Congress- that it may receive just SO much and no
more consideration than is necessary
Mr. CASS agree entirely with the honorable Senators
from Alabama and Kentucky (Mr. KING and Mr.. CLAr)

publicly thrown upon him. that his name and his course
should be brought in here and that he should be supposed
