liquor question. Informed part of the text of
at least one message to Congress, and in his
rich and voluminous correspondence it was

gestion and speculation. In the second
year Of his first Administration, when JEFF.
fersonian principles were triumphant

sage to Congress, urged that body vigor-
ously to prohibit the carrying of whis-
Ney into the Indian reservations. "The
Indians" he said, " are very sensible of the
baneful effects produced on their morals,
their health and existence, by the abuse of
ardent spirits, and some of them earnestly
desire a prohibition of that article from be.
