Treaty of Peace Debate and Costs In Congress
The session on February 25 to 29 focused on the peace treaty with Mexico. Senators weighed amendments, especially Article 10 on land titling, and considered the cost of peace versus war. Figures cited include five million for war causes, 140 million for restoration and peace establishment, and 30 million in claims on Mexican lands, totaling about 202.5 million, with potential land gains for a high price. The House tabled a resolution amid party divisions, and a Senate message followed regarding an armistice.
Armistice mention and Congress passes partial measures
The President said he had no intimation of any armistice. Debates on the treaty were postponed to executive session. The Senate moved to recommit naval appropriations and discuss Dry Docks. Committees reported a U S wheat import drawback bill and a judiciary resolution to relieve judges. The House discussed patent office exams and deficiencies in the appropriation bill.
