the proposition of my friend from Arkansas Mr. Bon
LAND is to be adoFed it will probably be necessary Tor
those who are opposed TO it 10 state the grounds OF their

OF policy that Louis Kossuth may have himself
pointed out, but simply TO give welcome TO him
disi he'd sir rendered such
vices TO his country as may well command The admna'

resolution OF Congress, which requested him TO use one
OF our vessels to convey him to this country-and that
put under the direction OF the President OF the
United States-l would leave his entertainment TO the
President OF the UnI:ed States also
