sir. that according In my conscientious
convictions. We are now fixing upon the

our form of Government a mnsirosity-a

IN outrage upon all the principles OF a pn-
pnlar representative Government and upon
the elementary provisions OF the constiiu-
ton under which we live, and which We
haye sworn 10 support. Blu, then. sir, what
frees the case frnm this enormiiy! Why,
il is that we slipulaie only that these new
States .hsll he brought in al 4 suitable
lime. Now, what is TO constitute the SUIT
sbleness Of time! Who is to Judge Of III
Tell you, sir, ihs, the suitable time will
come whenever the preponderance Of par
" power here makes il necessary 10 bring
in new States. The time will depend on
the state OF our politics here. and MOI upon
the condition of these States elsewhere.
Besssured. sir, there will be suitable time
whenever strength, or party power, or
votes are wanting in ibis Senate. We
have some little experience Of this. Tex
as came in. in suitable time. Very suit
able Texas was finally admitted in De-
esmber, 1886. My friend near me here.
INF. Risk. for whom have great regard,
whose acquaintance hare cultivated, with
murb pleasure. took his seat here, with
bis colleague, in March, lS45. In july.
1870, these two Texan yoies turned the
balance in the Senate aud overthrow the
Tariff Of 1882, in my judgment. the hest
system Of revenue tina, wa. ever establish
ed in this country. Gentlemen Of diffe-
eni opinions think otherwise. Fhey ,h,uk
IL was fortupate. fhey think the Texan
yo,es came in, in a suitable tune; and they
will take care that New Mexican voters
shall come 10 in suitable time also. Innder-
stand il perfecily well. II is difference Of
opinion between myself and them. To
their policy. TO theirohiect. TO their purpose,
the time was suitable, and the aid was
efficient and decisive. Sir. in 1850, per-
haps similar questions may be agitated
here they are pot likely 10 he before
but agi,aied they viii be then. unless some
change in The course OF the administration
If the Government take place; and. accar-
ding 70 ms apprehension, looking 10 gen

sa system Of commerce and revenue in
1850. Two years from Ibis time, we may

our system; in the work Of establishing. il

ran. the overwhelming food Of imporia-
tons. Suppose this to be the case. and
suppose tia. our opponents require addI'
,ional strength, that will be exactly the
suitable lime for Two Senator's from New
Mexico 10 make their appearance here.
