They must have it, and the man who brought about this state of things by his suffer- ings and his valor must be excluded from its benefits. The whole people of this country, inhabitants and citizens, must pay the debt. In other words, you tax your citizens to raise money to buy lands to distribute among foreigners, who are to become voters, and go the ballot-box on the first Tuesday of November every four years. That, sir, is the secret of this whole machinery ; and a ipublic opinion is to be s...tarted here, and to be influenced by the various combined movements of gentlemen, and brought to bear upon the public sentiment throughout the country. Thus public opinion sinks down in perfect quiescence. The public lands are given away, and it is all smooth and proper ; but the next session, when you come to make your appropriations, the funds are defi- cient, and they must be raised from some other source. Hence the tariff must be augmented, and thus another object is attained at the same time.
