me to he Objectionable in its nOn-conformity
to the act of Congress, passed the 9th of last
August, upon the same subject, and hence wrote
to you, expressing my wish that that clause
should be modified accordingly.
Your answer. just received, expresses the pre-
ference on your part that should make an opeI
order for the notification, which l very cheer
fully DO 1t is, therefore, ordered that the sai'
clause of said proclamation he so modified, hell
and construed as to conform to and not to tran
scend the provisions on the same subject contain
