Kansas Territory i'll its Relation to
 Union.

h his recent inaugural address the nea vernor of Kansas, the Hon. Robert J. Wa. discusses the material interests aud rro,gy. the Territory with his usual sa-ac.ty i tlus he considers this as yet almost uusa region, geographically iu is relation to the dera Union:
 Upon looking at the location of Kansas, e distant from the north to the south, lAJ from Atiaut'o to the Pacific, find that W..u.u ooudbie boundaries she would Ge tbt c5. State of the American UH.on On the l les tile Nebraska Territory, soon to Uto.a State; on the south the great aud fertile S. western lud.au Territory, soon, no,e t come d S.ate also. Io the boundary al a sas run nearly ali the railroads ol Nj >, while westward, ,uurthwdrd and sou,uHaIa a routes, continued through Kansas, UOu.- nect Ter directly with Puget Sound, the h. ot the Oregon rver and SIu Francisco. southern boundary of Kansas is but hyr dred miles from the Gulf ui MeXIco. al4 same ra.iroad through the great soutuVr Indian Territory and Texas would connect with New Orleans, with Galveston. aud a.. the roads of ArkausaS, ant through Iexn San Francisco and other points ou the ps, northWard aud eastward our lines wuut meet with the roaUs of Iowa, Illinois, WS slu, Nebraska, Minnesota and the taxes ol north.
 And again he looks forward to nU very taut future:
 Upon the south, Kansas is bound by great southwestern Indian Territory. Il one ot the most salubrious ana fertile port of this continent. It is a great cottou-s srJe region, admirably adapted by Soil aud cua for the products of the south, embracing valleys ot the Arkansas and Red river. a4. Ing Texas on the south and west. and Arhl on the east, andit ought speedily to becon State ot the American Uhou. The Ll treaties will constitute no obstacle any m than precisely similar treaties dld ill Klusas ther lands, valueleSs to them, now for sale, which, sold with their consent and for a benefit like the Indian land of Kahsas wei make them most wealthy and prosperous I pie, and their consent on these terms woU4 most cheerfully given.
 he Territory contains double the area the State of Indiana, and, if necessary, al < quate portion of the western and more eIef ed part could be set apart eXclus.vuy for ,- tribes, and the eastern and larger portio formed into State, and it's lands sold l0r beneht ot these tribes, (hke the Indian hl ol AahsaS,) thus greatly promoting all l interests. To the eastern boundary of thsl gIou on the State of Arkansas, run the rA,ln ot that State; to the southern limits come great railroads from Louisiana and Texas ' New Orleans and Galveston. which wi,. Il mateiy be joined by railroads from KD5 leading through this Indian Territory, c3l Ing Kansas with New O.leans. lh- GGl Mexico, and with the southern Paeidt rl. leading through Tex IS to San Fraucst0.
 It Is essential t. the true interests, uoi I of Kansas, but of Louisiana, TeNa, and AM saS, Iowa and Missouri, and tile whole re- west of the Mississippi, that this caie-m \ southwestern Indian Territory should spe'-I become State, not only to supply Us "..+' ton, and receive our products Iu return, l.' occupying tue area over hich that poTi our railroads shoUld ruu which couUtc. u' New Orleans and Galveston, aud by the en route with the Pacific.
