therefore we send General Taylor money
The wings moved TO strike out the pre-
amble 30 that they could vote 10 send
the men and money without saying any
thing about how the war commenced

ed down. and the preamble was retained

preamble and bill both together or against
both together They did not want To
vote against sending help to General Tay-
Ior. and therefore they voted for both to-
gcther. Is there any difficulty in under
standing this2 Even my little speech
shows how this was. and IL you VIII go
