boundaries greS,ly circumscribed from those
adopted BY the ci.zens Of that Territory Ia tho
iornation Of their State Government. 1he two
Territories that his bill proposed were Deseret
and New. Mexico. This morning Gen. FooTE re-
marked that, instead Of introducin. that bill, re
had determined upon Offering as a substitute the
resolution ho then held in his hand, which simply
