be, one thing is cer,ain-,ha. the Pacific |
Railroad project will be the oversi.adow-
ing measure OF the next session.
We will probably have two new States
introduced into the Union before the in

therefore it IS not always the interest Of

Ia, Mr.. Rice. acts upon the same policy.
Minnesota has now population which
would en!i.le her to two members Of Con-
gress, besides her two Senators; and We,
rather than dispense vi th the patronzing
aid of the general government in deiray-

prefers 10 content herself with a delegate

Not recommend any more appropriations
Ior her; and SO she has no choice but 10
form her State constitution and apply for
admission into the Unio,. 1t is doubt
iul, however, whether she will no, try to
bluff off Congress for another session.
But, besides Oregon and Minnesota,
there is still another Territory whose
claim fer admission as a State is 10 come
UP in the coming session. That is the
Ierrllcry of Utah, which applies for ad-
mission under the name OF The State OF
Deseret. Her State constitution wa
formed last summer, and was forwarded
