WASHINGTON (UPIl-Congres-sional

whip up strong "grass roots"
pressure on the lawmakers to
hold the line on government
spending.
Key legislators, with a few ex
ceptions, reported they are get

economize.

picked up noticeably ' In recent
weeks In the wake of the Presi
dent's repeated public pleas for
economy.
But congressmen agreed that
the current volume just doesn't
compare with the flood of anti-
oending mail generated two
years ago by George M. Humph
rey, then secretary ot tne treas
ury. In a thinly-veiled a'.tack on the
President's own budget. Humph
rey said in January, 1957, that
unless federal spending were cut.
there would be a depression "that
will curl your hair." Soon there
after, the folks back home took
pen in hand to demand economy.
Although a survey showed that
Congress isn't getting any such
deluge of anti-spending letters
this year. Republican House
Leader Charles A. Halleck llnd.)
has assured the President that
his balance-the-bud?et campaign
is catching fire in the grass roots.
Halleck wrote the President
Monday that he has received
thousands of letters from all over
'.he nation pledging "all out sup
port" for the President's bal
i-nced budget. He sent a few sam
nle letters to Eisenhower "to en
courage you to keep up the good
liaht lor thrift in government.
But House Democratic Leader
John W. McCormaek's office said
he has received only five letters
this year urging a balanced
budget.

And it was not 1861; It was 1809,
birthyear of Abraham Lincoln,
who was to deal latet with a more
serious secession threat.
At Lincoln's birth, 150 years ago,
the United States was a young,
growing land of some six million
people, 90 per cent of them liv
ing on farms and most of them
thinking themselves Virginians or
New Yorkers rather tnan Ameri
cans. For most, the Far West was the
Mississippi River: the land be-.
yond. the Louisiana Territory, pur
chased from France only six years
before, was almost a myth, a little
frightening and remote as the
moon.
National-boundaries were vague.
The final dividing line between
the United States and Canada was
yet to be settled. Shadowy Oregon
was disputed with Britain. Spain
held Florida and the Great Southwest.
There were 17 states in the un

original 13. West Virginia was part
0' Virginia. The whole state of
Maine was York County, Mass.
Indians roamed the forests of
the Appalachian Mountains. The
downfall of the tribal confederacy
organized by that amazing Indian
leader, Tecumseh, was two years
off at the battle of Tippecanoe in
Indiana.
The American flag had 15 stars
and 15 stripes. It would be nine
years before Tennessee and Ohio
would get their stars and the num
ber 0' stripes would be cut back
to 13, honoring the original states.
The chief political parties were
the Republican-Democratic, gain
ing m strength as the popula
tion began shifting to the West,
and the federalist, dying for the
want of progressive leadership.
Already the Republican-Demo
cratic party, ancestor to the Dem
ocratic Party of today, was show-
irg signs of splitting, with rival
fa-lions forming around person
alities and economic issues.,
Thou.as Jefferson, disillusioned
by party bickering, was the lame-
duck president. He had chosen not
to run for a third term. Little
James Madison would be sworn
in as president a month after .Lin
coin was born.
Foreign affairs provided the baS'
is for the big political issue of
the day; an issue that would reach
a climax in the War of 1812, a
warjhat no one in Britain or Amer
ica really wanted.
Across the Atlantic in 1809, Brit
ain and Napoleon were at each
other's throats. Each had set up
a "paper" blockade of the other's
ports. Neutral American ships and
seamen were the chief sufferers.
In retaliation, Jefferson had en
gineered the Embargo Acts of 1807-
08 under which all American ves
sels were forbidden to leave for
foreign ports and foreign bottoms
could not carry goods from Amer
ican ports. r
Mercantile New England, the
stronghold of the Federalist Party,
was struck a hard blow by em
bargo. Sentiment arose for the for
mation of an independent North
ern Confederacy, sympathetic to
the British cause.
The union was preserved, ' how
ever, when Jefferson in one of his
last ' official acts, signed the em
bargo repealer, freeing American
ships to trade with all nations
except Britain and France. Lin
coln was a month old at the time.
Slavery, the great American Is
sue of the 19th Century, was spok
en of only in hushed tones. But,
a contemporary gifted with fore
sight, already could discern the
forces building toward the Irre
pressible Conflict.
Eli Whitney's cotton gin had
been in use for 16 years, vastly
increasing the South s capacity
for producing cotton and, inciden
tally, boosting the demand for Ne
gro slaves to harvest King Cot
ton.
The .North was taking its first
rsteps toward becoming an indus
trial giant again thanks to Whit
ney, whose manufacturing system
enabled unskilled workmen to turn
out quality products in mass.
The demand for more cotton and
extension of slavery would drive
the South over the brink in 61
and the North's great industrial
advantage would win the Civil War
that followed.
And, while Lincoln was arriving
February 12, 1809, in a log cabin
in what is now Hodgenville, Ken
tucky, a few miles to the south
west, another infant had recently
passed his eighth month on earth
He was destined to lead his peo
ple in a great war, too. He would
be Jefferson Davis, president of
the Confederate States of Amer
ica.
