continued. admit 1t very seldom the that such
things happen; but do not bseve to speak seriously,
Mr. President that these missions do as any good.
CcDsuls cannot occupy fulfill the whole Diplomatic
character, know; but they are officers of the Gov
erDmtIt, and can be made of for communication
between other Governments and this, and can attend
10 the busiI of the country. do not that
have any diplomacy to attend IN with Paraguay. l
believe that we shall be well without this mission
would make of every means TO prevent Paraguay

erpment assure her that we think the badness with
her can be done by consuls-we now being both
ffiendt--ard that we think mission unnecessary.
That 10 all our object; disrespect wis tever. We
wish peace and friendship and courtesy with her. We
will eboeavcr to accomplish that without the costly

Wen do il. / hope this amendment will not prevail.
A HARD CASE.
