Vest on the Election.

“I do not care to say more of the last election than that, in my opinion, it was a parody on popular government and free institutions. I am curious to know what will be the result of the investigation proposed under the resolution of the gentleman from Nebraska —Allen. I would like to understand why in the new and growing state of Texas and others in the west there has been no increase of population in four years, while in the old, finished and completed states of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, there has been an enormous increase, such as was never found before in any of the United States.”— Setiator Vest.
