However strong may be my desire to enter into such an agreement, I am convinced that I do not possess the power.
The increase of the sum appropriated in the present bill over that in the bill of the last session, being within a fraction of $20,000, has induced me to examine the question with some attention.
I am convinced that it is ours by the treaty fairly and impartially construed.
