To illustrate, a supposed case is stated - as follows: Vermont and New Ileaspihire must • between -them furnish 6,000 moo on the pendhig cal!, and being equals, each most furnish as many as, the other in the long- run:'' But the Government finds that on former calls :farzilahed surplus of 0.00, end New ,liampehire a surplus of 1;5190.. Thue two eurpluses ranking 2,000,04 added to the 6,050, making 8,00010 be furnished by the two States, or 4,000 each, desa by fate credits. Then subtract Vermont's Bevies of 500 from ter 4.000, loaves 3,550 as her quota on the pending call; and likewise subtract:New Hampshire's surplus of 1,500 from-her 4,000," leaves 2,500 as her quota on the pending call. These 3,500 and 2,500 make precisely the 6,000 which tiro* supposed case requires 'from'the two .States; and it la . just equal for Vermont to:furn ish 1.000 monurow than Now Hampshire because New' Hampshire has her e furnished 1.000 mare than Vermont, which equalizes the burdens of the two in the ; lerng run. And this resulti so . fsr from being bad faith to Vermont, is ludispcn: sable to beeping good faith with New Hemp- . shire. By no other result can the six thousand men be obtained from the two States, and at the same time deal Justly and keep faith with both;;. and we do- but confuse ourselves' In question ing the prOccas .hy which the right result Is reached.
