The . refn in will be- reiisted-at every
Step,',hut it must be pressed persistently.
We see to d y the immediate representa
tives of the people in one branch of Con
gress, whit: struggling to reduce expen
ditures, co i pelled: to confront the Men
ace of the %eriate and' the Executive,that
unless - 'the objectionable appropriations
be consent d to, , the 'operations of the
governnien thereunder shall sufferdetri
tnent. or. ease., -In my judgment , an
amendmen of the Constitution ought to
be devised, l iseparating into, distinct bills
the appropriations for the various depart
ments of the public- service, and exetud
ing from each bill \all apPropriationa for
other objects-and all independent legisla•
tion ; in that way alone can the revisory
power of the two Reuses and of the
Executive ,be preserved: and exempted
from the ' moral duress 'which often
1
compels assent to objectionable appropri
ations. , •
,Rather than. stop the wheels of the
'government,' an accessary - cause, enhan
cing .:the dirstress in. businev, is to be
found in the svitematic and insupporta
ble mismanagement imposed on the
States of the' South. Besides the ordina
ry effects of ignorant and dishonest ad
ministration, it has inflicted upon then
enormous issues of fraudulent bonds, the
scanty avails of: which were wasted .or
stolen, and the existence of which is a
public discredit, tending to bankruptcy
or repudiation. -
Taxes generally oppressive, in senile in
stances have con tiscated the entire income
of property, ~and totally ' dest.oyed its
marketabie cable. It is impossible that'
these evils- - should `not react upon the
prosperity - of the country. ' • • .
The nobler motives of hnmanity coo

requiring that every obstaele be removed

between kindred populations, ones un
aturally estranged, on the basis' recog
nized by the St. ],ears{ platform, of the

which engendered ' civil war ;Ana in aid
of 'a "result so beneficient,the Moral influ-.•

The "object denianded by . the Con yen- -
