"Would it not nullify and render meaningless the clause of the Constitution which Judge Story derives from the British constitution ? Would it not in effect destroy the ef|uilil)riuin of the Federal system, by giving to Nevada, with its fifty thousand people and its bonanza Senators, a power of taxation to nullify New York, with its five millions of people and its diffused wealth! Was the equality of the States intended to be outside of the Constitution or within it ? If within it. Then Nevada ...in money bills must remain as to New York as 1 in 100. This is the very his- tory of the compromise by which this debatable clause was fixed in the Constitution.
Judge Story says that the same reasons do not exist to the same ex- tent, for the same exclusive right in our House of Representatives in regard to money bills asexist for such a right in the Houseof Commons. Had he lived to seethe demoralizing results of our civil war ; had he 10 read our investigations aud reports of malfeasance iu office ; had he observed the teudeucy of the Senate to grow in jjower by the patron- age it fed on ; had he seen governors of States newly elect rnsh from their local capitals to secnre the cnrule chair of the Senate for its six years of easy dignity, unrestricted patronage, and self-content- ed power ; had he seen the luxury of living, the frippery of fashion, the magnificence of our Federal city, the mushroom growth of mere- tricious ostentation, the pride of official presumption, and the long retinue of obsecxuious clientage which follows in the wake of sena- torial dignity, not to speak of the pomp of, the unrepresentative southern Senator or the liveried carriage of a northern Senator ; had he seen tlie senatorial fasces united to scourge Andrew Johnson, a faithful Executive, for resisting senatorial decrees, he would have found many counterparts in our day to remind him of the worst days of Eoman decline, and many reasons which did not occiu- to him as a contemporary of Clay, Webster, and Calhoun for the almost exclusive right of the House over that senatorial patronage which can only live by confirmations and supplies.
