by which the Government may determine IL policy and
leave for further hesitation and delay The
public mind in painful suspense touching the important
issue of peace snd it the duty OF the Govern
ment 10 relieve its anxiety by show of energy and
definite purpose. OF the temper and determination Of the
Executive there is no doubt; The Administration has al
ready indicated It's policy n the Presidents energetic mes
sage respecting the Black Warrior affair. The South may
