There is not a civil official of the goverament who will admit that he fayors such an act. There public man in the country who will admit that he favors the enslave ment ofa people.

J am especially glad to have the as surance that of his own knowledge his position is the position of the president. My resolutions agree substantially with the position thus avnounced.
