much thereof as the actual proprietor

is to say, their attention was called ex-
clusively to the gulf coast line extend
ing from the Mississippi to the Atlantic.
This appeared to be the maximum of
his wishes. There was no hint of our
requiring or of purchasing the great
territory west of the Mississippi He
then proceeded to instruct them touch
ing possible reduction of even this de-
mand, if necessary If no grant of ter
ritorial jurisdiction could be obtained
they were to secure mere rights of de-
posit, with the privilege Of holding real
estate for commercial purposes. In
respect to the Floridas, the ENJOYS were
to secure depots at the mouths of the
rivers which ran from the United
States through Florida to the sea, to-
gether with their free navigation. And
the sum within which they were to ne
gotiate for any or all of these conces-
sions was $2,O00,000.
It thus appears that Jefferson had
never contemplated the acquisition Of
what is called the Louisiana purch-
ase." Popular opinion has attributed to
him remarkable and statesmanlike
foresight in negotiating for that vast
tract of country west of the Mississippi
in order to provide for the future needs
of the then young republic. The truth,
however, compels us to recognize the

fact that neither the American people of
that day-who were few in number
compared with the extent Of their ex-
listing territory, and who already pos
sessed ample lands beyond their power
of cultivation-nor their statesmen, in
their farthest vision foresaw the amaz-
ing development destined to come be-
fore the end Of the century. Jefferson's
plans, not anticipating but following
the demands Of the "west," only sought
to provide for an existing emergency,
and to acquire in perpetuity right
which had been once conceded to the
United States by Spain-the right of a
free depot and transfer of their pro-
ducts. That was the attitude of our
government when Monroe sailed for
France. Its eyes were directed to the
south, not to the west.

The real scene of the story of the
Louisiana purchase is on the other side

The terrible excesses of the French revo-

ing bloodshed in the effort to abolish
christianity and law, had offended all
Washington s sentiments of religion and

upon the violent destruction of all that
was sanctified by ages of faith and Of

THE NEXT thing Virginians will be
particularly concerned about will be
the proceedings of their Legislature,
which, unwisely and unnecessarily, has
been called to meet in extraordinary
session, though all its expense could
have been saved, and no interests have
suffered, by waiting for the regular ses-
sion. As the interests OF the taxpay-
ers, who will be compelled to pay all
that expense, should be protected as
much as possible. they should demand
that 10 the provisions to be made at the
session to provide for the con-
yention to amend the State con-
stitution, ttere shall be one, pro-
hibiting any member of the present
legislature from being member Of
that convention. The acts OF the
previous session of the present legisla'
turs, 10 respect of corporate interests,
are not conducive to the hope that its
members will have more regard for the
State, as constitution makers. than they
had as legislators; aud proper self-re'
spect should prevent them from max
ing laws for governing the convention,
and, Immediately afterwards, acting ss

harrisburg, Pa, Jan. There we're
usual scenes on the organization Of the
House. Flowers adorned many desks
and in the galleries and Hobbies there
was tremendous crush, including
many ladies Until the noon hour when
the retiring chief clerk, ]. B. Rex of
Huntington, called the house to order at
IL, there was doubt as 10 whether the
organization would be controlled by
regulars or insurgents and democrats.
Both sides were confident. Runners
were out bringing In tardy members and
there was much suppressed excitement.
Roll call showed 200 present, the alb
sentees being Hademan, Neeb and
Thompson John K.), and Steak of
Philadelphia, (dem). This would make
the number necessary to choice 101.
Burnett OF Sullivan, democrat, who
vent away yesterday on account of ILL
ness in his family and returned this
morning, was in bis place when
roll was called. After swearing In of
members by Judge Weiss. the House
proceeded to the election of speaker.
Keiser Of Philadelphia nominated w.
t. Marshall of Allegheny and Hosack
OF Allegheny nominated w. II. Koontz
of Somerset, Dixon OF Elk, democratic
leader, seconded the domination of
Koontz, and the House proceeded to
ballot.
