The message OF the President comm unicating
TO the Senate his objections to the bill for the
admission Of Colorado as . State into the Union
is concise bnt comprehensive, while his argu-
ments are unanswerable. The country cannot
perceive any more than the President the
s'high public necessity" which would Justify
80 departure from the law Of equality which
has been 50 generally adhered to in our his.
tory" That 10000 people in Colorado should
have two votes in the Senate while 4,OOo,0OO
people In New York have no more, and that
the came 10000 should have three votes in the
electoral college while the most populous State
has but thirty three, may work very well for
the maintenance and perpetuity OF party
power, but that 1t is just and compatible with
the public interest Is not 50 clear.
Have the advocates Of this measure pondered
one fact7 Setting aside rything else, would
the admission Of Colorado at this time be a
safe precedent The majority in Congress,
in spite Of partial legislation and party ma.
neuvers, cannot expect to retain power for.
ever, and the means they now use ior that end
may be turned upon themselves. Already the
division Of old States to form new ones Is All
tated in several sections south OF Mason and
Dxon's line; and il a precedent is now set, the
process may be carried on to an indefinite ex-
II 10000 people are entitled to two Senators
then why not 10000? LOCO? 100? This areu
ment ad hOminen will no doubt cen vince even
those who are deaf to the voice of Justice and
blind to the public good.
