Evidence Of the debtor on the whims and caprice

Fpsndsnoe Of the debtor on the whims and caprice
of the creditor.
Now, with all these advantages, what good
objection can exist TO making these donations !?
1t does moi cost you a farthing ltdoes not abb
stract any revenue from the federal treasury. II
does not reduce the resources of the treasury at
all. All experience demonstrates that when
you have constructed these railroads, the land
through which they pass will sell more readily
for so so an acre than they will for ~ 70 per
acre without the railroads. With this view Of
the case--the constitutional difficulties being re-
moyed-looking to the great advantage which
YOU can render TO these States, and to the in
habtants of these Slaies-looking to the i'm
inense boon that you can give TO them without
impoyerishing yourselves--I ask, what good rea-
Nson can be given for not passing the bill and
making the donation
We ask that the bill shall be put upon its
passage now, without going to the Committee
of the Whole on the state Of the Union. Those
members who are at all familiar with proceed.
ings here know, if may be allowed to apply
quotation that is used upon more solemn occa-
sions, that when bill is sent from this House
to the Committee Of the Whole on the state OF
the Union, unless it is universal favorite or an
appropriation bill, it has gone to shat undiscov-
cred country from whose bourn no traveller ever
returns" Every member who has had any ex-
perence here knows this TO be the fact.
have now, believe, presented most OF the
views Of this matter that desired to present,
and all have to say in conclusion is, that

cause to be ashamed of or to repudiate them.
