I regard the question involved in these proceedings as one of vast magnitude.
I have to inform the House that the Executive did not deem it his duty to interfere with the naval and military forces of the United States
I submit it to your mature consideration whether, in view of the important benefits arising from the treaty to the trade and commerce of the United States and to their agriculture, it would not comport with sound policy to adopt that course.
