1t will be seen that our member, Hon.
BEN G. EASTMAN, played not tie Dough-
face, neither did he act the part of Ju-
das Iscariot by selling his vote, as il is
feared too many Northern members did.
We can cheerfnily forgive his speech
and vote on the Wisconsin and Mime
sofa Land Grant, which We were care
full not to allude to before, because we
learned that his remarks knocked the
bill cold by certain ungrateful illusions
to Milwaukee, although doubtless inten-
|ded for contrary effect. We are will
ling TO believe that his course on the
Land Grant swindle was honest and in
tended for the best,--that he was cheat
ed into it by Barstow and The Balance.
who had represented it as pure metal,
whereas a baser piece Of coin never
came from bogus miut. There can be
no mistake, there were tenfold better in
|dncements offered FOR votes on the Ne
braska Bill, than the friends of Land
Grants ever were able 10 offer and per-
form. We are therefore led to believe
that EASTMAN has acted the man thro'-
out. We make these remarks in insii-
fication Of his course, because We have
heard low insinuations made that he had
been bought up by the great western
Land Grams Companies. and Rsilroad
fabor,ionists also, that he would be
bought l,to support of the Nebraska
Bill. &.
