quences of war, he would avoid it, but not
at sacrifice of the flag and rights Of our
citizens.
MMILLIN, OF TENNESSEE,
says the Presidents message is belligerent
In tone. He thought we should be able to
settle the matter without war.
SIMPSON, OF KANSAS,
thought it ridiculous and disgrace for this
country to go to war on the pretext of CIV
ing evidence. The message sounded like a
special plea to get the Irish vote and he
thought the President was DESTROYS of get

right to break diplomatic relations, and
not only that, but the government ought
to send competent force there to COM pei

of the Baltimore, exercised great for

REPRESENTATIVES, DE WITT AND WARNER,
OF New York, said the message seems to
indicate fully as much of an eXigency on
the part of the administration which has
got US into this difficulty to have It's mis-
taxes INDICATED as necessity to maintain
