people thereof was plainly manifested when
he saii ne thanked God he was not born

wrath to keep it warm is proved by the per
sonsl efforts he has made to induce the &c
publican Senators to pass the Force bill, the
real object OF which is to humiliate and out
rage the people of the southern States. 30
intent is hs upon the passage of the iufam-

that the President is the chief magistrate of
