Full Text

The manifesto of the President, of course, is pronounced conclusive and satisfactory—superior to the Declaration of Independence, and rivalled by nothing but the Veto—by those presses which are owned, body and soul, by the administration.—But the simple facts, that its reasons failed to convince a majority of the cabinet, Messrs M'Lane, Cass, and Duane; that they protested in written arguments against them; that one of them suffered himself to be expelled from office rather than acknowledge their validity, or be made an instrument in the hands of the President for perpetrating this gross outrage upon the rights of the people; should and will have more weight with reasonable and reflecting men than all the declamation of partisan newspapers.—Dover Enquirer.
