says:

obligations upon the Federal Government.
It IS not unlikely that fifty thousand peo-
pie viii enter the Western portions Of

They viii require mail facilities, they VIII

Try, contributing indirectly their share IN
to the Federal treasury. All these things
are q lesson to Congress, relating to the
future Of the Great West, precipitating
the consolidation OF all our continental
interests and looking to the early occupa-
ton Of the whole country by our people.
The construction Of railways, bridging
the Mississippi tothe Missouri river. has
annihilated the fifteen hundred miles
space intervening between the Atlantic
coast and the Great Plains, and opened
the latter to emigration and settlement.
Il is full time that these events should
begin to exert their influence upon the
Legislative mind Of the country.
