that it unfair 10 the President to select but
section OF bill containing many. and holding him to

Mr. FoLGER denied that the amendment treated the
President with any uuiarness If the President had
not declared himself against the principles OF the BILL
the Senate Of New. York would not now have occasion

to the party that gave him the power TO veto bills,
without giving therefor. without giving
evidence that he is still true TO the OF liberty.
Mr.. ANDREWS insisted that would be unfair to base

Mr.. WHITE advocated its adoption, saying that New
York has beeu silent too long Her voice, representing
ur millions of citizens has been stihed in the hope
that better aud more patriotic understanding would

me e,ting Congress half way, the President has piled
measure after measure, until We may no longer remain
silent This resolution will have It's effect. and its
adoption cannot be delayed If any sacrlhces are TO De
made let make them. But lie had no fear of political
effects The people who carried on the war are with us
and Us anst the veto.

sentatiyes to vote for bill which shall not be liable to
the objections stated by the President in his message

MIR. ANDEEws said that he was one of those who did
not deem il wise TO force this issue between the PreS
dent and Congress the issue is forced. and be
Andrew) accepted it. Its tendency is to declare open
in the Republican party upon which rests the hope
and the the nation. Ii Is pressed by those who
shrank back appalled, from the war when war became
absolutely necessary and cried "let the South 90 in
peace, and who were ready 10 buy over the South.
Now that the war is over the cry is for 10 the
knife and the kufe to the hi' against the South They
force the issue and lac prepared TO take his POSI-

calculated to fracture that party in this state
