This is the view of the Presl- dent. “I fear an attempt has been made by gentlemen on the other side to make partisan capital of the present unfortunate situation between thie country and Mexico. I hope the gentlemen have exhausted their mis- guided efforts in that direction and that this House will give its approval to the Chief Executive of this na- tlon without a single dissent. “In the bitterness of the debate the President has been, assailed and his motives impugned, but when the alr clears those crit! utes,” he added. “Vote!

In Rear-Admiral Fletcher's proclamation to the people of Vera Cruz he called upon them, in the interests of humanity, to co-operate with him in restoring order. He said they could carry on their municipal government as before and that the United States merely would haye the Customs House and pairol the city.
