Among the fruits of the adoption of this bill
will be, to bring Aroostook and the entire valley
of the Upper St. John into intimate connection
with the other settled portions of the State-unite

with tide water and other commercial avenues of
the State, at Bangor-establish our commercial
sovereignty over Aroostook-settle what remains
to be settled Of the North Eastern Boundary dis.
pute--introduce population there to cultivate
the soil-abrogate commercially. our position as
a frontier State the East-.extcnd tho trunk
line of railroad to our Eastern boundary, there
to unite with the Provincial railroads and bring
the inland trade and intercommunication of those
Provinces int our State.

and vital to u ask the House to lay aside every
preju Iice-eyerv local and sectional feeling and

bearings upon the future prosperity, greatness
and welfare Of the State. l believe it be mca-

the state, and to every man who IabOrs with his
hand or his head within our broad boundaries
But, sir | do not make this request without un-
derstanding and approaching how difficult it is
for the House 80 grant it.
