will insist it. Thus, was a Such and this such alone was the language of uncertainty
prudence and good faith: this such and this such alone was the language
equally consistent with the engagements to one party, and
with the wishes of the other: it was actually was therefore the
language of Administration: the conclusion is a necessary one: this and this alone was the fair
language of Administration: it was the fair and
and the only construction of whatever words the occasion
called for could have called for.
