Another position Of the Democrat

tionary States should at once be adj

answer is, stand back until Se snail

DEMOCRATIC PRECEpENr.
We have Democratic precedent for
this. When President Polk was
waging war upon Mexico, ho seut u

Scott to negotiate terms Of poace,

"Iudempity for the past, security foT

that We are not going TO insist upon
indemnity for the past, for if we did
we would send tho plowshirc Of con

ask indemnity for the past; we will
forgive that, but VIE want security for
