ing with tho views of the republican party passed and
some such will become law before this session
closes The President either case, wl be placed In

law thus enacted positively iefase to do II he
enforces the law he must abandon the policy he has
long been endeavoring 10 carry out and IL he fails TO
enforce he wlr furnish good and undspusbe gou0ds
for his impeachment and removal.
