The President in his Spring field letter
nonclusively answers the objections TO his

Why would it have this effect For year

we're the rebels less bitter. less defiant then

yielding then thsn now? For = hundred
days they were warned Of its coming, did

,Sestsd their scorn aud contempt for 1t
Would they be more trsctabls now il it
we're Withdrawn?
But these peace men who thus argue, al
so say It is UNCONSTITUTIONAL aud insist on
its being revoked. The President quietly
answers that il it is not constitu'ion nj it
does not need TO be revoked. it Is Of no ef-
fest. But he says let it be carr d to the
tribunal Of last resort-the Supreme Court
OF the United States. and il they decide 1t
to b, unconstitutional then il falls to the
ground. But on the other hand If it is .
awful exercise OF the War power given to

bolton. then it cannot be revoked. He
could not do n if he would.
