stroyed by thieves, having become q
law by lapse of time, the president

above referred to constitutes an evil
precedent. 1t is not, however, so OBJ.
jectionable as to call for my formaI
disapproval, and / have allowed it tc
become a law under the constitutions
provision, contenting myself with
communicating with the senate II
