He voted for the Texas boundary bill when standing alone, but against it when united with a bill to establish a territorial government for New mexico. He admitted the payment to Texas to be enormous, but hoped thereby to remove the only cloud on the peace of the country. The bill was carried by the lobbying of Texas scrip-holders, Von Hoist, vol. III. p. 558; Giddings's History of the Rebellion, pp. 327-332; Horace Mann's Life, pp. 303, 324.
