expediency. II is a disgrace TO our in
stitutions that matter Of such mex
pressible moment should be considered
in no higher light than as to itsJr luence
upon the political fortunes of any single
individual. 1t is a debasement of the
functions and duties OF congressman OF

men. No matter who may be the men,

to the country by its influence upon an
election, they are unworthy of their
place, and unfit legislators for forty mil
