ties was under consideration. Richardson

tiOusl, and being forced upon the country by
the President without right or law. sf.

as Burnett who were responsible for the
present war. Theiracts at Charleston divided
the Democratic party, and led to secession
Such men as Burnett were the last men who
should stand up eOndemning the violation Of
L

trampling on the laws. l'f.r IE .fe.
