and what fruits may We legitlmatcly expec.
to be gathered from such = victory. The |
completeness Of our triumph may be seen By |
q comparison Of our majority now with the |

was committed to the policy of admitting
the Representatives, Of the seeded States, at
once, Into Congress, on their ratifSiug the
proposed Constitutional Amendment, or that
