| lSed great gains. so was the one advocated
by the gentleman, and just as seductive in its
tendency. But we should beware of being
Influenced in that way. (Applause.)
He then reviewed the measure. The great
need of Minnesota, to revive her prosperity,
was immigration. We wanted people. We
wanted settlers upon our broad and fertile
lands. This S5,OOO,OOO loan measure was
urged mainly because it would stimulate inl-
migration, 1t was supposed when we COM
menced building our Railroads, every body
would at once rush into the Territory But
their commencement in the manner proposed
would rather deter emigrants. People were
taxed enough in the old States-they did not
want to move into a new one to struggle
with manifold greater taxation, amidst their
other struggles, to make them home-than
they experienced in the old States from
whence they had come.
The population Of Minnesota did not ex-
coed 100000 A debt of fue millions upon
this number of people, was equivalent to a
debt of $1OOO0O,OO0 upon the people of
Ohio-to a debt of 1926, 100000 upon the
people of Pennsylvania-to a debt of $780,
100000 upon the people of the State of
New Y ork.
With the prospect of such an enormous
and disproportionate burthen upon them,
settlers would rather avoid Minnesota. They
would seek other lands, which invited them
without this tremendous financial drawback
upon their prosperity:
He also dreaded the power of such great
corporations. The Camden and Amboy Rail-
roads ruled New Jersey; and our Railroad
| Companies, if they obtained once this grant

follow the established laws OF emigration,
and settle in the great empire of the North
West.
He mentioned the immense territory to
the northwest of us, containing 500, 600
square miles, and inviting to the emigrant.-
It was gradually being filed up, and at the
present and past rate of increase, every three
or four years will double the population, and
soon make it the seat of vast and intelli-
gent race Of people.
Labor, however, is not all that is needed
to build up prosperity again. Money is
wanted, capital must be introduced, and we
must give an equivalent for it. He did not
think the property offered in exchange now
would. Some article of produce must be
raised, and markets were necessary to make
it valuable. He spoke of an easy access to
markets as being indispensable to country,
and mentioned railroads as the great medium
of intercourse, which would soon render q
country rich and populous, and develope the
productive resources. (Applause.)
The speaker then diverged into state
ment of the condition of the Lacrosse and
Milwaukee Road, and other roads in that
State, spoke of their prospects, their benefit
to the country, and the contemplated extern
sion to connect with the network of Mime
sofa roads, whereby the Northwest would
be intersected with communication to the
lake markets, &c.
He said he supposed the proposition that
the corstruction of railroads within Mime
sofa would be profitable to it, was self evil
dent. 1t was the introduction of golden cap
ital that would produce here an hundred fold
of golden fruit. These railroads could not
be built without the introduction of foreign
