Mr. NYE. My friendfrom Pennsylvania inquires how old is she. She has not seen many years as yet, but she will improve in that respect. Today while this nation is in travail with the birth of a State, my friends from Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and Indiana are trying to prevent it. Sir, this question of the admission of new States into this Union is not a new one by any means. It is 86 Old as the original 13 States; and no event in our history has been hailed with more joy and gladness than the birth of a new State and the setting of a new star in the galaxy of our Union. Now, sir, the real objection and I desire to state it in a few words to the admission of this State is that she has been guilty of sendin here loyal men, men who have bornethe burden in the heat of the day of this rebellion, men who have been scarred in the conflict.‘ The Senfrom Pennsylvania [Mr. BUCKALBW] says they can be of no use here because we are within so few hours of an adjournment. Sir, who knows what hour there may be a call for an extra session of this Congress? Who knows but what upon the votes of these men may hang the destinies of this Republic? And yet we are rarely told by the coinplnisant and always quiet ‘enutor from Pennsylvania that we are within so many hours of the close of the session with as much mcekness, for which unlity he is always famous, as though the c ose of this session was the end of this Republic. I expect that the great business of this Republic will roll on after this Senate has adjourned and after we are all dead. But we are told by the Senfrom Indiana that there are evidences of fraud. After he made his assertion I stepped back to the sofa behind me and talked with Judge Kellogg, who was the canvasser of these votes, and he says it was never claimed, and that by but one man, that more than 19 soldiers voted; that only 19 soldiers ever claimed to vote, and upon that there was contradictory testimony; and that the 19 who did vote said they had taken up their residence in the Territory of Nebraska and were going to continue to reside there and do reside there. Where is the evidence of fraud? The Senfrom Indinna says the majority is not large enough. Sir, a majority of one, under our institutions, is just as potent as a majority of 100,000.
