which the California bill be taken up, and the other
measures which have been connected be taken up in
connexion and our friends from Texas can be provided

to accept modification OF his motion The Territory OF
Utah included in the bill the range OF mountains running
round and separating the waters flowing into the Colo
RADIO and the Great Basin II Is certain where that
range OF mountains is situated and hence have 10
the conclusion to insert the 3Sth parallel OF latitude in
stead OF that range oil Mountains II is entirely north OF
the head source OF the Rio Grande With the per-
mission OF the senator, therefore, will ask him to accept
this mobilization: Bounded on the east by the summit
OF the Rocky Mountains, and on the south by the 3sh

Mr. DOUGLAS. The south belongs to New Mexico:
Mr. DAVIS, OF Mississippi. The senator from Illinois

proposition as a substitute. The whole government OF
New Mexico, without any definite boundary for Texas,
became subject for which could not provide The
province OF New Mexico, stated the other day. in my
opinion ceased to exist with the transfer OF the territory
from Mexico II was so many acres belonging TO the
United Staes and now. instead OF leaving that portion OF
territory west OF the Rio Gnde, for which II is imposs
Bile TO provide government, and which, il we did pro-
vide one, there would be nobody to accept there is
population the west side propose 10 include that por
on OF the old province OF New Mexico that lies west Of
the Rio Grsnde, in the territory which is proposed to
