had the blood of Washington, Jefferson
and Madison, sages, and heroes OF the Rev
olution, they would protest, as their faith
ers had protested, BY their blood. against
the despotism of King George. He hoped
i the President of the United States would
Fssist, would use the powers the Constitu.

two, devoted to the subject of the recon
struction of the Government, will bring
us to a. solution, IN whigA we shall. agree,
and in which the Two Houses shall agree,
| in which the people of the country will
| sustain us, and in which the President will
give us his support This speech gives
rise to many speculations. 1t is understood,
however, that Banks was frequently i'll
council with the Southerners recently here,
and that he tayors their proposed policy.
Banks. iNtimated that any Congressional
policy would be. futile in operation,
IF opposed by The Executive. We
must have laws in which the Execu-
! tive will cooperate, in order to make those
| laws effective. If we fail to secure, coop
Grafton in the laws, it is our duty to drop
law-making, and consider the purposes and
Iposition Of the President himself: 80
