The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1854-07-20


The truth is, that our statesmen have, under
the influence of the vast resources OF our nation,
and of the OVERLOOKING Treasury which is the
consequence of our tariff system, become mad on
the subject of figures. With them millions are
but little more than thousands. Were our treas
ury we'll nigh empty, as it always should be- ana
were our statesmen to study the value OF money,
in the light of the tolls of the poor, who earn IL,
these statesmen would not make so light OF m
mense sums, as they now do.
Ten millions for what this treaty gives usl IN
my esteem, it is not only very excessive put an
outrageously excessive, remuneration. DO not

| would but not because / would believe nFe
millions to be no more than reasonable sum-
1t would, in my judgment, be much TOO large
sum. :.
Mr.. WASHBURN, of Maine, (interrupting.) II
/ understand the gentleman correctly, ne sald,
short time since, that he considered TINS mouse
under absolute unquestionable obligation to vote
this money Or he stated, rather, that the treaty
was perfect in its obligation without the acuon
of this House, that it was the law OF the Ianu,
absolute and complete in its obligation but
understand the gentleman to say, now, that ne
will exercise his discretion, and that he Will not
vote the ten millions Also, that he viii not call

ses care not, whether this is So The question
of corruption is not before us, and for what else
could wish to see the papers?" The actual
provisions of the treaty constitute all, that is le-
ultimately before us and the only question for
us to decide in governing our votes ON TINS ocea-
sion, is whether 81 ,0OOO 900 is not so excessive
lv large a sum, that we had better dlsobey the
treaty, and break supreme law OF the land
than vote it. As have already SAID, thlnk IL

startling phrase of the day, to render the law at
this ten million point, "inoperatiye and VOID

Happily, shall not need to regard rs crimi-
nails. those whose votes, on this occasion, snail
differ from NV own The difference between us

Happily too, it is only money, that we lose by
voting too large a sum to Mexico. Whereas,
should there be war between us and her, in con-
sequence of leaving unsettled what this treaty
settles the loss to both nations would be infinite
ly greater than a loss of money. | had rather
we should make an absolute gift of ten millions
to Mexico than that we should fire gun at
her-and even, too, if that one gun should hit
nobody.

AND NEW sUBSCRPT1oNs-WH0
RESPONSE

The time has come when we must call upon
subscribers whose terms are about expiring, to
renew; and while doing so, to send new
names with their own. The first half of the
present volume of the Era will close with the
last of this month. We have just sent out
special request to our voluntary agents, to
join in determined and vigorous effort to en-
large our list Tho time is suspicious. People
are aroused on the subject of Slavery, and
need information. Only the first great tri-
umph of the Slave Power has been won. Fur
ther and more dangerous aggressions are medi-
tated. The Anti-Slavery sentiment of the
country needs organization. To promote the
great cause of Union for the sake Of Freedom,
the most active efforts ought now to be made,
to increase the circulation OF newspapers OPP
posed to Slavery.
The Era needs o special movement in its
favor. Some of its best agents during the last
twelve months have diverted their lsbors to the
establishment Of local Anti-Slavery papers
We do not complain of this, but could they
not now spare few weeks to the Era, which
has no local support, and must depend alone
upon the general interest felt in the vigorous
maintenance of such a paper at the seat of
Government? In brief terms, let US say that
should they succeed in adding to our Weekly
