The West and Congress-

ETon, The hk1r ToTE 7frtea july H.
The West feels aegneved, and not wholly
Congress on the apportionment question aa
hostile to its Just CLAIMS and the ahape which
the dissatisfaction Assumes foreshadova the
growth OF new sectional difficulties. The
number Of Representatives under the present
census has mainly engaged attention; while
the date It which the fEesh appo1tioument
comes into force received less than fair con-
Bideratiou, although it is point which vitality
coDrerns the States acquiring increased repre-
sentative influence. These States aak, prop
cr1y enough, that whatever additional mem
beIe they may be found entitled to, shall have
aeats in the next Congress-; but their request,
though strenuouHly urged 1t Warrington, and
nails, has not been farorsbly entertained. The
result is = feeling OF discomfort which no
statesman can treat with Indifference, For
sectiona1lem, once begun, g1ows space; and
in this instance its action viii be directed
against the East, which, in the future, will be
the weaker part Of the Union.
Equitable reasons alone should have secured
for the West the earliest possible enjoyment
Of whatever representative strength the off,
cial record OF its growth may confer upon it
What ought to be done cannot he done too
aoon- very n1odsFafe amount Of official en-
ergy would have rendered the results Of the
pending census available for the elections this
consequence Of the feehleness and uncertainty
Of purpose which has marked the proceedings
Of the present session, In regard to every i'm
portant subject that bas arisen; but the Weat,
with its exuberant vitality and it's Characteristic
impotence OF delay, attributes tbs circum-
etance to sectional greed md jealousy,-and
from this imputation We fear that the East
will ultimately sutfer.
Hence the failure to- make the revised ap-
po1tionmeut the basis Of the representation to
be provided for this fall, is as inezpediant asit
is unjust. Tho governing power il the Union
tends Westward. It is the West gtich profits
most ty the accessions to our population from
emigration, and which moves with giant strides
toward numerical supremacy. The dreams
which make it the future seat Of empire may
never be fulfilled, Other conditions than those
Ct area and numbers enter into the problem
to be determined. Bat thera can b no doubt
that the Legislative strength OF the West. a.
ready large, will 30 rapidly increase that it
will hold the balance Of power in a, very few
years. Tbs coming, spPo4ment VIII in

Yesterday morning 1853 Chinese arrived in st.

The Senate Of the United States is not
given to economy. II added to one of the
appropriation bills some hundred amend
ments appropriating $4,000, 900 addi-
tional, nearly Ill for public buildings. The
Senate does not admit its responsibility to
the people in the appropriation of money,
and it has always been notorious for its e1-
t1avagance- It has been common thing
for members of the House to reject propo-
sitions, fearing to 60 before their con ,titu-
ents, md then lobby in the Senate to have
them put ia. and, finally, have them 70
through lie Horse "to save the whole
bill.' The various appropriation bills have
been delayed in the Senate, in
order to get up all the items of
expenditure which the lobby have
been proposing. The extravaganza
and waste of money by that body is ex-
cessive. There is an opportunity in the
Senate for man of ability and drmness to
arrest this lavish expenditure. What is
wanted is some man to meet these jobs and
brand then as they come up, and to boldly
inform the Senate as to its reck1essness
The country cannot find in the whole list
Of Senators any one who has arrayed him
self against the Senatorial system Of ex-
travagance, or one who has persistently nd
vocated the reduction of taxation, by re-
duetion of expenditure. Anyone of the
seventy-two Senators can win for himself a
national reputation, who will take upon

mute chips into silver, or rags into gold, by
IN net of Congress. II cannot inpart
money value to piece OF white paper
by printing picture on IT, or calling it a
dollar. It has no power Of alchemy that
the humblest individual does not possess.
A promise to pay with the intention not to
pay, is a falschnod. And q government note,
never TO be redeemed, has the value Of any
other detected Lie, neither more nor less
Mr. Ingersou says that, "Gold or silver
would have no value except for the fact
that mankind, by general consent, agreed
that certain amount of it, of certain
fneuess, shall be receivable in exchange for
anything else of material value This is
only another form of saying that mankind
attach exchangeable values to material
things gold being one Of them. But how
do they arrive at the e1changeable value of
material things? Tint point the honorable
gentleman seems to have overlooked. Men
will give certain qunntity of one thing for
a certain quantity Of another. This
is called barter. The quantity
of tho thing given depends upon
the demand there is for it, and the amount
Of labor, skill, and care required to produce
it. 1t is harder to procure peunyweight

piled. If they possessed no other use than
for money, they would be without market
or exchangeable value, and could net be
made to circulate as money, any mora
freely than Eastwood chips, and their
purchasing power would be no greater.
Gold is about fifteen and half times
more valuable, weight for weight, than
silver; and this is independent Of the
money use of either metal the sufficient
reason being that it takes almost rs much
labor to procure IN ounce Of one as it does
to obtain pound Of the other. No act Of
Congress or Parliament, o.. imperial decree
has ever been able to fi1 the relative or
positive purchasing power of either gold or
silver, and no law OF ukase can add to, or
subtract from, the value of given piece of
gold or silver in the estimation of mankind,
OF increase or decrease its power as a COM
modify OF barter and exchange for other
things. We would advise the member
from Peoria to purchase OF borrow a text
book on the nature Of money and its uses,
OF the nature of gold and silver, and of
barter and exchange, and study it, before
he undertakes to instruct Congress on
these subjects.
