who expressed a desire to
speak upon the bill. At the close of that debate, the bill was passed
by more than two-thirds of this House. It has been returned to us with
the objections of the President to its becoming a law. I do not
propose to reoepen the discussion of this measure; I am disposed to
leave the close of this debate to the President by the message which
has just been read. I ask the friends of this great measure to answer
the argument and statements of that message by their votes."

The vote was finally taken on the question, "Shall this bill pass,
notwithstanding the objections of the President?" The following is the
record of the vote:
