opinion, The President Of the United States
is entitled 70 the thanks Of the whole coun-

beIion and put dowa treason. Ny colleague
says tiat it sill be necessary TO catch the

times, and in view Of all that is passing
around US, as well rs At a distance, there
will be very little difficulty in anesting the
