Thus, when Congress resumed its work in November, Russia's obligations under the treaty were fully discharged, but the American quid pro quo had No. 3] PAYING FOR ALASKA 389 not been rendered. Nor was it entirely certain that the pay- ment for the new territory would be forthcoming. Evidence promptly appeared in the House of Representatives of a vigor- ous opposition to the necessary appropriation. Various resolu- tions were introduced expressing not only the opinion that Alaska was not worth t...he price agreed upon and that the treasury could not in any case afford so large an outlay, but also a feeling of resentment at the procedure of the administra- tion in hastening to take possession of the territory and endeav- oring thus to coerce the House into accepting the purchase as a fait accompli. Shortly after the Christmas recess, Congress became absorbed in the fierce politics of the impeachment of the president. While the passions of this episode dominated the majority in Congress, the most elementary dictates of practical wisdom would deter the friends of the Alaska appropriation from bringing it forward ; for one influence in creating opposi- tion to it was a blind hatred on the part of many Radicals toward any policy or any measure that might reflect credit on Johnson and Seward.
