intended to blot those bad laws would you have
framed language Of that kindf II Is clear that it has
been the intention to allow these laws to be botted
out repealed Great skill shown in drawing the
proyiso to the army bill In such way to leave the OBJ
noxous laws in force to be talked about the stump
ring the campaign at the that you cripple the Pres
dent and deprive him of the power Of coming the
of the civil authority Hence evident that the provso

recognised the laws being in force and authorized the
governor and judges to carry them into effect If the
governor and judges did not attempt to execute the laws
perhaps you would not have any pretext for getting up
civil In order to make the scheme complete, 1t
necessary to make the duty of the civil officers carry
the laws into effect and then prohibit the President from
of your into the Territory under your leaders, and
thus you get up civil in which blood flow, and
flames rage and the country be laid waste and
you can have victims who will answer "good enough
Morgans," at least until after the election.
