speech and Csrcuisr ~ Mr. B@yiy, Of the House Of
Representatives. pg
These two productions occupy large space Of this
mornings paper The speech is one Of the abest which
Mr. Bayly delivered during the last session Ii upon
very important branch Of the great question which
cuped much Of the time OF public councils and
isa subject with which his analytic mind is mos, familiar
1t comes in season, also, to conovet, in part. some Of
the positions which presented in our yesterday
mornings paper by Major Weighman. Of the
toral representatives OF the self styled State Of New
Mexico. But Mr.. B'sagumsnt is very much strength
ened by the subsequent legislation Of Congress- No
deny to them the constitutional power egislate
upon the question before Is New Mexico to be ad-
mtted State The constitution gives Congress alone
the power to admit her Is New Mexico to remain in a
chrysalis condition. and to receive territorial ogani-
sa,iOn Precedent well principle have conferred
that power upon the Congress Of the United States
When they decide, therefore. favor Of territorial gov
ernment they necessarily refuse to admit at the same
time the Territory State into the Union Since
Mr. B. delivered his speech and since the people Of New
Mexico have assembled in convention TO form constitu.
ton and elect senator's the law has passed which de-
fines the boundaries Of New Mexico. and assigns her
territorial condition and corresponding organization
With what proprety, then, il be commended that New
Mexico has right TO claim admission as a State and
subsequently right to claim admission for her two
aios The process Of organization cannot be anticipated
by her action Congress declares that she shall for the
present remain in the territorial form Congress has
signed her territorial government. When, in conse-
Quence OF the Of her population. and the
quent adaptation of the ideas and habits Of her people,
she becomes qualified to seek change in her political
institutions she will be under the obligation Of calling
another convention, Of forming another constitution,
and OF making election Of her representatives in
both houses Of Congress This the natural order
OF events; and cannot conceal surprise that any
gentleman OF sagacity and experience should entertain diff
ferent views upon the subject.
We accompany this speech of Mr. Bayly with the
circular which he has just addressed to his constituents
