.bly to adjournment.

ed TO be printed. &c. The boundaries
are something like these--Commenc-
ing a. the mouth of Des MONIES, thence
Up the Des MONIES to the old Indian
Boundary line or North line Of Mis-
souri,, thence west to the Missouri Riv-
q, thence up the Missouri River to the
mouth Of Sioux River, thence up said
River 70 the mouth of Calumut, the nee
soshs mouth of Blue Earth. South
ofanch Of St. Peters, thence down the
o. Peters TO the Mississippi, and
'aence down to the beginning.
Z lcanno. but think that the Terrific.
yn unnecessarily large. l! will give
~ area Of upwards Of 10000 square
niles. And i. will cut off all hope Of
'a0'her State on the North for quar-.
"d century. Congress once pro-
FUSED the 40 Of North latitude as the
soF'hern boundary and l think that is
aeaough North; in fact, | should pre-.
N''he parallel Of 40 North, and this
Void give US State Of some 10000
square miles.
