Can be possible that seu are prepared TO say we

provide for them and we neglected 10 provide for their

upon, appears that this Territory has the number
Of inhabitants which it intended should be as
oertained in that particular manner That bill did
at least contain sentence TO the effect that they
would admit that Territory a State with that Consti-
tuition without any objection to the number OF
people and it did efiectually say TINT we will not be
particular 10 the number hereafter, If yon have the
number requisite for representation. The Terri
tory could not comply with the other part, OF taking
the census, as no provision was made, but they iur-
nish the materials and now claim that Congress shall
ADMIT them az State: The next point OF Objection
which | have heard of is that this country, by
a treaty made with the Cherokees, sequestrated
certain tract Of land and by this treaty provided
that it should not be included within the Jurisdc-
ton of the Territory State But, if that pro-
vision amounted to anything il would forbid il within
the Territorial Government would III the State.
Mr. c. then referred 70, and read FROM this treaty,
which be said, provided that this Indian reservation
should not be included in the State or Territory, un-
ees the tribe gave their consent thereto and Congress
made this Territory 10 include these boundaries but
excepted out these Indian reservations. This Indian
reservation is excepted out of the State in the very
same words in which il excepted out of the Terri
tory and therefore the bill does not include IT, and
therefore is not obnoxious to the objection that this
State cannot be admitted because of that provision OF
the Indian treaty II has long since been settled by the
supreme Court that Indian territory is exclusively
theirs and no Territory State exercise jurisdiction
over He then referred TO the amendment OF the Sea-
tor from Missouri Mr. Green, to change tho bounda-

the Platte River, and include all the uost populous

10 say to the people of Nebraska We propose to dis
member your Territory and MAKE entirely new Ter
ritory Then this boundary Is run along the north side
of this Indian land this would leave out large num-
her of counties some of which are quite thickly set
tied south of that line and not include them IN the
State at all. He could conceive OF but two objects IN
this In the first place, II is one OF the modes OF con-
irving How Not to Do IT. and, IN the second place,
II is 10 say that not having succeeded as we hoped IN
making Slave State out OF Kansas after all our trials,
we now propose 10 dismember it, and then we will
extend it north to the Platte River and thus dismem
her Nebraska and then extend Nebraska up TO
Dacotah and IN this way we prepare the way for
making Slave State ont of this Indian Territory, and
break up the prospect OF making Free State out OF
Nebraska, and contrive II that there shall not be
more than two Free States ont of all this territory in
stead of three. How can the State or Territory Of
Kansas exercise a jurisdiction up to the Platte River

other purpose in large part OF the Territory OF Ne
