the government or Texas.
Mr.. PEARCE. Some of the remarks which
have fallen from my friend from Pennsylvania
IMr. CoorERl oblige me again briefly to adresS
the Senate. the senator stated that the line pro-
posed by me in this bill, cedes to Texas 10000
square miles more than the line proposed by the
senator from Ohio, [Mr. Ew'Nc.] which ia very
nearly the line proposed by the compromise.
The line Of the senator from Ohio, varies very lit
tie from that proposed in the compromise bill. IL
only varies at one point on the Rio Grande 4
hase no doubt that the senator from Pennsylvania
has most carefully, at some prior time, made his
estimate but l am sure he must have calculated
ske amouwt he mentioned on different area from
that which we are now considering. Any body
who will look at the map will see exactly what
the extent Of country il that propose by this
boundary 10 leave TO Texas, not given to it by
che compromise line. 1t is a tract Of country
about three degrees Of longitude wide, and about
three and half Of latitude long. Now II is very
easy TO arrive at the Of country Of these d.
mensions. A degree oflongitude is about sixty
miles and line Of latitude, as far from the
EQUATOR ms this country is, would measure about
forty-six miles. Multiplying for'y-six by sixty
Won have the contents Of the area included be
tween one degree Of latitude and one degree o
longitude Then multiply that by the number
of areas of that extent !, the section OF countr.
which propose TO give Texas, and you have tn
result, at some 20, 700 square miles. l suppos
there is not much difficulty in arriving nj tnat re
suit but I took OCCASION TO consult my fren.
from Mississippi Mr.. DAvsl whose mathemati
cal education enables him 10 speak with SOM
confidence such matters, and he agrees wiz
me entirely in regard to II. o-s
Then we must recollect that the line which
propose gives To New MEXICO territory which tn

compromise bill took from New Mexico. Tn

body with which have been for so short a time
associated that good deal of hot haste is mani
tested in pressing the final consideration of this
bill to-day, and that there is wide departure
from that spirit Of courtesy which called upon us
to adjourn yesterday at halfpast four, when
amendments had been offered and senator's had
occupied the floor for two or three days. Now,
the senator from Ohio desired to have his amend
ment printed, and to say word in regard to it,
and myself desired to give my opinions.
Mr.. DAVIS, Of Mississippi. II the senator
will give way, will move an adjournment.
