going to Dc this act, let It say so frankly.
Let it say i, hsd not the power or the will,
and il did not think st this day that it
ought to furnish contribution to any body

would understand that in the Intercourse
Of America with foreign ns'ions
the Ufited States could decisre war, could
cover the ocean with ships, could thank

the Arctic seas, but could not, Out of its
soundsf ce and cut Of tae fernle bosom OF
American soil, because OF constitutional or
partisan difficulties, relieve from ruin a
