organization, but there equally honored for

day The country, generally must cordially approve the
of the President and regret that deferred
waiting impaenty TO know something definite in relation

The message great State paper, fail be
warmly commended by every who has an American

that the House of Representatives is not entitled to the

public likely to derive from the communication win
doubtless be realized independently of operation OF
that body In addition to this consideration it Is obvious
compelled the regular organization Of the House
