starr Of the Pacific This queetion is forcing itself
upon the minds OF all thinking in this State. Its
solution rests solely with the Congress now in session

While not one in a hundred Of our citizens have any
other wish than that constitution shall receive
the approval Of Congress, and representatives be
admitted to seats in its halls, not one in thousand
can or will act otherwise than resent refusal based
upon grounds in relation to which, this State, by the
almost unanimous voice of her citizens has already
rrevocably decreed And this decree sho uld be salts
