to carry IL out, as it t,enched on the taxing power
of the House OF representatives. By is own

What kind of whig principle was there in that vote?
The same vote was given to the Homestead and
Graduation bills, whose tendency is 10 depopulate
the old States and give away the public domain to
TO- egners Without regard to character abroad at
