The President will submit the correspondence to Con-

means-money and men-to enable him to defend the
rights of country and uphold the honor Of its flag at
all hazards and to the last extremity And it will be

OF the United States have bad memories They will not

of their pretended spossessory rights in Washing

make trouble and get the two countries by the ears
