cussing and legislating on matters connected with the slavery question. The balance of power after the adoption of the Missouri compromise in 1820--that is, as many free States as slave States coming into the Union--gave an equal number of senators upon the slave question. Maine, free, carved out of Massachusetts, was admitted March 3, 1820, and was offset by Missouri, slave, March 2, 1821; Arkansas, slave, June 15, 1836, by Michigan, free, Jan. 26, 1837; Florida, slave, March 3, 1845, by Iowa, free, March 3, 1845; Texas, slave, annexed as a State March 1, 1845, by Wisconsin, free, March 3, 1847. The annexation of Texas brought on the Mexican War, on a question of boundary between Texas and Mexico. This war resulted in the admission of California as a free State, which was carved out of Mexican territory acquired by the treaty of Guadaloupe Hidalgo. The balance thus established in the Senate and in the House as against slavery, it was patent, must remain forever. This conditi

t amount of circulation without redundancy; and as each legal-tender note is, as we have seen, a part of the debt secured by mortgage of the whole property of the United States, without depreciation. Our debt now is $2,500,000,000, about $2,200,000,000 of it interest-bearing. Suppose we issue our legal-tender greenbacks, as I will call them for convenience, and buy up or redeem our interest-bearing debt that is due to the amount of $1,000,000,000. Then our debt stands, James F. Wilson, Iowa. Geo. S. Boutwell, Mass. John A. Logan, El. Benj. F. Butler, Mass. Thaddeus Stevens, Penn. Thos. Williams, Penn. Jno. A. Bingham, Ohio: managers of the House of Representatives of the impeachment trial of Andrew Johnson. $1,000,000,000 of non-interest-bearing debt, and $1,500,000,000 of interest-bearing debt. Now, if that $1,000,000,000 of circulation is too much, i. e., more than is needed for currency, I agree with the gentleman from Maine that it will be depreciated. But what is t

be accounted for sent down in advance of the usual time. We had a hearing upon that, and that was also decided against us last Monday. Now, then, I said, the patient being dead and buried, and the sexton having gone home to supper, you come to me for resurrection. I must say that I see no earthly opportunity; the rule of the Supreme Court is that it will have but one rehearing in a case. But, said he, it is much to us; we have got seventeen more just such cases with other counties in Iowa or elsewhere, and they will all bring suits. Well, said I, when they bring another suit I will endeavor to do something for you if I can, but it is no use for me to look into this record, this case is a by-gone. Well, all the same I want you to look into the record of this case and tell me what is your charge? I ought not to charge anything, for it will do you no good. But I do not read such records for fun; but if you insist upon it, after what I have told you, I will examine it,
