he had no, seen any thing to justify war

sure. The bill now before The Senate

and was advocated - . var measure.
They were now, i, appeared, brought loa
point when words were TO stand for things;
when the Sensts Of the United States

ton Of approaching var. This was The
question; and he, Tor one, was ready 10
pronounce upon il. And he did so mos,
emphalically BY going ag'ins' lbs bill in
toto.

provisions OF the tIll, and TO compute he
amount of expenditures TO be incurred
under j.; which he made by calculation,

arming the ships. -.- ~s

poses, and | oppose il as q war measure.
am no. willing 10 plunge into war
measure when the stale Of things around
US is pesce-while |. 81 least, canno, see
. The war to which il is 10 be applied. II
E war comes, want no half way measures.
: II war canes, we will vote with no stint,


ing hand: but, until II does come, | am
, against any thing which is equivocal o,
+ debatable. Sir, | hope my position
