Western Federalism.
We were unable to attend the Capitol to-day; but we
understand from the letter of friend, now before u.s.
that the previous speculation which he had communca-
ted to us upon the intended movement of the federal party
on Mr.. Wilmots proviso, has been confirmed by their
course in the Committee of the Whole, to-day. We do
not undertake to vouch for the accuracy of his
statement but he states hat he southern wings secured
the passage of the Wilmot proviso by their votes,
abstaining from voting in committee-voting against
Dromgooes point OF order which calculated 10 pre-
vent direct by and nays the House against the
extension of the Missouri compromise line to the acquired
terrory-and, finally by abstainng from voting on the
main proviso amendment.
"Messrs Davis, Young, McHenry, Order and Trumbo,
all of Kentucky are said to have voted in Committee
of the Whole for the Wilmot proviso-while some IS
or 90 southern wings did not vote at all, remaining in
their seats If the five here named had voted with the
SOUTH the proviso would have been killed by
jority Every southern democrat voted against it."
Should this statement be correct, it shows policy of
party tactics the part OF the federass which looks
much to the interests of mere party than Of the
rhoie country 1t shows that they design TO throw the
whole political theatre into convusion-to distract the
country upon this agatng subjectto throw the demo-
cratic party into dssensoh, in order that they may avail
themselves of IT 10 nse upon ruin, at the hazard of
agitating the country upon this momentous subject II
this be say we, let the design be exposed, and the
public indignation rebuke it authors.
And what must we think of those democrats who
would stir at all this agating question, in the midst of
foreign war Or what shall we think of men who would
overlook the great principle of community of interests
and of compromise of rights upon which the constitution
itself founded, and the Missouri compromise was
based Let the north be deeply impressed with the dan
ger which it is provoking, and the utter mpossiby OF
prevailing on the south to acquiesce in the inequality
which the north proposes

CHAPTER ".

AT December session, 1915, Mr.. Tho
mas again appeared in the House of Del
egates.-There was nothing done by him
at this SESSION to show that his views in
reference to State faith, as shown by his
votes in 1913, had undergone change.
He voted against several revenue bills re-
ported from the Committee on Ways and
Means, and we have not been able to
find that he supported ony. (See Journal,
pages 1SS-3S5.) But the most important
feature in his career that winter, was the
extraordinary number of times that he
did MT rofe ii all! 1t will be found that
Mr.. Thomas name does not appear on
FIFTY ONE calls of the yeas and nays.
Why was this? When important mea-
surcrS are under consideration-upon
which the people ofthe State are divided
IN opinion-it is sometimes the safer plan
tor prominent politicians to refrain from
casting a vote on others side. Mr.. Thorn

he was not present in the House, we
should suppose he was strangely neglect

was present, why did he not vote'

By reference to the Journal of the
House, (Jan'y 25th, 1914, page 1897 it
will be seen that one of Mr.. Thomas first
movements was an effort to separate the
collection of State and county taxes.
"On motion Of Mr. Thomas, OF Talbot leave
WAS granted Mcssrs Thomas. of Talbot, AIRING
di lie and Bow die, to bring in ii bill to allow the
commissioners of'IalIot countyto appoint col
hector. to collect the county tao separate from
the direct ior."
Mr.. Thomas, therefore, was opposed TO
enforcing payment Of the State tax by
uniting its collection with that of the
county tax.
Mr.. johnson, as chairman OF the Com
mittee on Ways and Means, afterwards
reported bill entitled an act for the gen
eral valuation and assessment of property
in this State, and to provide tax to pay
the debts of the State, passed at March
session 1S41, chapter 3d." One of the
principal O jects of this bill was to pro-
vide for the collection of the tax in the
delaulting counties, where the county
authorities had failed or refused to APP
point collectors. The first section de-

On February 9th, 1914, on motion of
Mr.. Thomas, of Talbot, the House resolv-
ed itself into a committee of the whole
upon this bill.

The AMERICAN STEAMER WASHING 7oS.
The trip OF the steamer Washington is
the topic of much talk in New York.
The Sun is confident that she is a ten dav
steamer, notwithstanding her fifteen dAv
trip. A passenger, in the Journal of
Commerce, gives the hi chest account OF
her In reference to the delay and in
jury which she experienced from burning
bltunlnous coal, instead of American an
thrlcite, he says:
"The company will, no doubt, be o5lig-
ed to ship coal to Southampton and Bre-
men, to supply their steamers for the
homeWard passage"
The Herald says
"Athough she has made good pas
sage, it is stated that she could have made
it in twelve days, but for some misman-
a5ement in the engine room, which the
directors will enquire into Immediately,
and promptly remedy for the future.
The builders and engine makers, as we'll
as the directors o. the company to which
she belonrs. are confident that this noble
vessel will yet perform all that was ey-
pected of her in the first place. They
are not satisfied with fourteen day voy-
age, and are determined that she shall
make her passages regularly, hereafter,
in twelve days. This they are sanguine
of doing by improving the machinery,
and recognising in thorough manner
her engine ROOM"
The passengers were delighted with
her performances, and, in a card repre-
sent her as the easiest, steadiest, and
most comfortable vessel aAolt.
