hat the gentleman from Texas (Mr.

gentleman that when he opens a re-

will be crushed.

il was proclaimed by the great demo-

United states there was no power in
the congress of the United States to
recognize the independence of a foreign
country; labored arguments filed the
congressional record TO show that such
recognition was not within the power
of congress. but lay exclusively under
the constitution i'm the hands of the
president. But, however, that may be
