1st ResoEred, That the Kansas Valley
being one vast beautiful plain, with a suffi-
cheney of timber and good stone for build
ing purposes, and stretching off, as it does,
in an almost westerly direction from the
center of the Mississippi valley to the great
pass in the Rocky Mountains, is destined
to be one of the grand connecting railroad
links, which must ultimately unite the east
and west together; and that our Represen-
tative when sent to Congress, should spare
no pains to secure, if possible, the passage
of the Great Pacific Railway through this
valley. II .-sg 90
I'd. Resofved. That National and Terri
toriaf interest demands the speedy improve
ment of the Kansas River; and that We
VIII not support any man for Congress, who
will not pledge himself to use every exer-
ton possible, to procure an immediate ap-
preparation for the same.
Sd. Resozved, That although it has al
most become customary to make temporary
seats of Government for Territories and
expend the General Government building
appropriation, Elo in them, still we can see

custom, in Kansas, when the Commercial,
Natural and Geographical center must GER
tainlY be on the Kansas River, near the
mouth of the Big Blue, or at the farthest
west at Fort Riley = s..5 ..eo zeE

9; 9th. Resolved, That the citizens of Kan
sas are not only capable of constitutional
but that they are entitled
to preference in filing our posts of trust
and honor; and that we protest against the
common practice Of appointing officers re-
siding out of the Territory; as such practice
is frequently attended with unnecessary
DELAYS, incorrect action out of indifference,
and that it is at war with the grand idea o.
self government. 5z'ar.; z

Of Kansas demands the Immediate survey
