The Address in answer to the Speech of the President of the United States, passed the House of Representatives by a majority of TWENTY-SIX. Sixty-two Ayes and thirty-six Noes.
This Address solemnly assures the President of the United States, That they believe that the conduct of the Government has been just and impartial towards Foreign Nations.
It is true that the majority against striking out these words was only 8. The fact however is, that on the final decision there was a GREAT MAJORITY in favor of the Address containing the sentiment.
To suppose that any of that majority would act counter to this solemn declaration, may square with the politics of a foreign faction, but would be a gross reflection on the honor and integrity of any man who pretends an attachment to the interest of the United States.
