A few facts \\\\\ \)v>[ illustrate this point.
IB- When Mr. Pearce entered Congress, tlie people were divided solely upon questions of internal ad ministration — the expediency of a protective tarifl', a sub-treasury, and the distribution of tlie proceeds of the sales of tlie pub- lic lands. The great northwest had scarcely entered upon its amazing career ; the Salune bounded us on the south- west ; the Oregon boundary and the northeastern were unsettled; our immense Indian possessions were uno
...r- ganized, and neither the nation nor foreign powers had realized the extent of our resources, the reach of our capabilities, or the magic and marvellous influence we were destined to exert upon the worhl. During his term of service many perplexing foreign diiferences were adjusted, and American diplomacy made for itself an honorable place, in the persons of AVebster and Marcy and Seward ; the State of Texas was annexed, the Mexican war fought, an empire added to our domain, and our golden sister from ihe Pacific welcomed by the nation ; seven other States were encircled by the Union* which stretched from ocean to ocean; the whole of our territorial possessions was covered by organizations upon the principles of which, after long controversy, the Con- gress were unanimously agreed ; the tariff policy was variously modified, and a uniform land })olicy adopted ; the Pacific railroad was inaugurated, and the slavery con- troversy of 1850 was compromised, and then so sadly reopened in 1854 by the enactment of the Kansas-Ne- braska law, with all the gloomy catalogue of wrongs and evils of which it was the prolific mother.
