Of suffrage is at the time an "inhabitant" of the
Territory and district where he offers to vote.
We all understand how this word " inhabitaut"
may be construed so as to require nothing more
than inhabitancy at the moment of voting.
Mr. COLLAMER. I will remark to the gen
tleman, if he will allow me, that the law requi-
ring poll tax, and providing for its collection,
was to take effect Immediately; and the other law
which he has read was to take effect in October,
1856. One was the dollar tax, and the other a
fifty cent tax and provision was made for pay
ing at any time man pleased. =
Mr.. TRUMBULL. think, then, that the alle-
cations which have gone abroad are fully gus
tanned by an examination Of the statutes them
selves, and that the Convention of Kansas Office
holders were themselves mistaken. Another
section of the election law declares that any
person Offering to vote shall be presumed entitled
to vote but if his light is challenged, he is re-
quired to swear to support the kansas-Ne0raska
act and the Fugitive Slave Law. There are many
persons who would object to swearing to sustain
the Fugitive Slave Law; and are they to be de-
prived of the right of suffrage on that account
will not undertake to justify people who set at
defiance the Fugitive Slave act. Ny opinioh is,
that under the Constitution Of the country the
owners of slaves have right to a reasonable
law for their reclamation when they escape.
These are my views. avow them here, and
everywhere. But, while such Is my opinions do
not think it proper to prevent an individual, who
thinks differently, and who believes the Fugitive
Slave Law to be unconstitutional, from voting.
| There are persons, South as well as North, who
believe II to be unconstitutional; and to require
Of such persons, or any person, en- oath to sup
port it as q qualification to vote, is oppressive.
There are features in the Fugitive Slave act re-
| pulsive to many persons. No man wants to take
an oath to assist in experimenting runaway ne
goes.
Again, it is said, in reference to this election
| law:
| alt is difficult to see hsw more guarded law
could be framed for the purpose of protecting
the purity of elections and the sanctity Of the
| ballot-box.n
| 1t is difficult to see how a more guarded law
could be framed than that which permits any male
citizen of twenty years of age to vote, Who il

breast pocket the farthing was found, against
which the arrow had struck. The Turk lcld the
farthing in grca honor, ard had it hung with n
golden chain to the handle of his scimeter. Later
rn IN the war, the Sultan was taken prisoner by
the Emperor, anG was forced to yield up his sword
10 nm; And thus the farthing came with the
sword into the Emperor's possession.
Whilst the Emperor sat ut the table with q bea.
ker Of wine in his hand, the Empress said she
should like to see the Su,tan's sword, and it was
brought. As the Emperor exhibited it to the En-.
press. the f%arthing Tell from the golden chain into
the bcaker of wine. The Emperor perceived this.
and before he placed the beaker to his lips, he took
out the f%arthing. But the farthing was grown
quite green. Then every one saw that the wine
was poisoned. A wicked attendant bad poisoned
the wine in order to destroy the Emperor. The at
tendant was condemned to death ; but tho %farthing
was placed in the Imperial crown.
Thus the ~farthing had delighted a child, had
procured n boggar bread, had released q prisoner,
had saved the life of n Sultan and Of an Emperor.
Therefore il was set in the Imperial crown, aud is
there to this day-if one could only SEQ the crown!

RELATIVE PROGRESS OF VEGETABLE
FOOD IN THE U. STATES, AND THE
INCREASE OF ANIMALS.

In two or three articles, recently prepared for the
Record, we have shown, first, that the increase OF
the classes engaged il tho various branches of the
arts, and commerce, was much more rapid than
those engaged in agricultural; and, second, that
the town. or civic population, was Increasing much
more rapidly than that Of the country or rural
population. In connection with these facts, we
may remark, en- PEASANT, and as intimately conrec.
ted with them, that the prices Of agricultural pro.
ducc have been for several years gradually grow
ing higher, while on the other hand, the prices Of
manufactured goods have generally declined. This
rotation Of prices is perfectly consistent with, and
indeed is q direct consequence of the former facts,
which we have stated, and illustrated in preceding
articles.
We shall now proceed to inquire whether rcge

or has not increased in the United States in proper.

have not lost ground in relation to the due
support OF animal life. If it has not, then all the
boasts we 80 frequently sec, in the newspapers about
mn unlimited power to supply Europe with food,
is n mistake and n delusion. While we are obliged
to use the returns Of the Census of 1850 rs n basis
we are well aware that the crop Of lS49, on which
it was based, was comparatively " bad one, and
that the present crop 1855 is II vastly better
Nevertheless, it is probably tue, that the crops of
1904 aid 1853, taken together. would not make
more than an average production. Comparing,
then, the crous returned in the two Censuscs Of
1910 and 1850, and the increase, with the increase
IF population, we shall get a pretty near a1proxi-
nation to the relative growth Of food and pOpula.

necessary to give tie smaller cIoI in detail, but
only The large crops, which support men and ami
mails, and with them the number Of men, and
tic number of animals which are used rs food
The latter is not indeed essential, for vegetable
food Of Some kind is the basis of all animal life
and therefore To determine the crops is enough 10

had actually been sawed of the panel, and ia that

These are very instructive facts. They teach
very distinctly some Of the principles which have
been silently at work to raise the prices of wheat
Of beef, and pork: nor, do we see, for this state of
thir g, cEy remedy but the increased application
oi labor to agriculture and as there is no power
TO enforce this but the presence of real scarcity. so
we cwn sec no permanent elimination of prices; nor
indeed, Il probable cessation Of the rise TIL high

agricultural employments.
There Is another question, connection with the
the production and consumption of vegetable

parts of the world are even less fortunate than
