The President remarked that no .Bne

the oath of office Until. that time, He
might take it ,i1imediately after the,
declaration Of HIS election, and enter 'oii

besides, the Democratic Housc. of Rep
resentatiyes, during the former session of
Congress, emphaticaily declared that all
citizens Of the United States should be

said, with regard to the sending Of Troops

bered that Gen. Frank Blair wanted
