that Constitution alone can these bless

But whatever government and laws we
have let us obey them while VIC have
them, and not seek to cyadc them by
fraud, or oyerturn them by force, for
then we have anarchy, which means the

rciveS and takes advantage Of trusts re,

most cOwardly and the most dangerous.
Therefore, ] denouncc the Radicals and
all their disciples. ] know the Presi-
dent is q patriot, but his error threat
ems to place him and his country in the
unrcstraincd and vongcfnl power of
iorcsworn enemies, and he who believes
it is an error owes it to his country to
LAY so and give his reasons for his be-
lief.
In the construction OF all human in
struments there must arise questions
ON which men will honestly differ
These doubtful questions have arisen
under the Constitution, 1t was antici-
patcd they would arise, and arise, too,
between the Executive and Congress,
and the method Of settling such differ
cnccs was provided. When the Presi.
dent thinks q bill presented to him is
unconstitutional, he mu return it with
his objections, Congress must consid-
CT il, and iftw0-third5 differ with the
President the bill becomcsa law, not
wlt%hst&ncing the Presidents ohjec,
tons. Now, that this refers to cases
OF mere honest differences as to what
is the meaning Of the Constitution-to
cases Of donbt-is very clear from the
delih2ra;ion which is required Of all
parties. The President is required to
send his objections to Congress. The
objections must be in writing, The
House to which the objections are sent
must enter them On Mer jouynai, and
then pr0ceGd to reconsider. Il two
thirds differ with the President. the bill
