Mr.. MASeux. Twill not attempt so
presumptuous thing as 10 advise the
Democracy. | think they are not to

Q Of this profession. ! saw recently
: some remarks of an eminent gentleman
: who has my high repect-a gentleman

of economy, and the way the govern

The active politicians and enterprising
J men want the money. But ! admit
e that the whole system is tending to a
state Of corruption that much fear
!. will bring ruin to our country. These
spells of $50. 000, 600 will all go into

u Mr.. President, YOU and l, though
y still very Young men, have lived long
u enough to have seen very differen,
state Of things. Things are now passed
J. over, as matters of course, that thirty
. years ago would not have received a
second thought in either branch Of the
: legislature Of the country. The first
Il thing would have been to think Of theiI
rejection, and the second would have
e been the act Of rejection itself. Now
o commend the example of my irient
q from Arkansas Mr.. Borland1 to hi'
i democratic brethren. hope they will
: profit by his counsels; that the country
will be benefited by them; and, as ial
as can in my humble way, ! will tr,
to put my shoulder to the wheel and
help the good cause onward.
