I submit, therefore, the expediency of the passage of a resolution authorizing the exchange of ratifications at such time as may be convenient, the limitations of the ninth article to the contrary notwithstanding.
The dispatch of Mr. Dallas being in the original, its return to the Department of State is requested.

However strong may be my desire to enter into such an agreement, I am convinced that I do not possess the power.
