1t is respectfully Submitted that however
Congress, under the pressure Of circum.
stances, may have admitted two or three
States with less than representative popu-
lation nt the time, there has been no instance
in which ON application for admission has
ever been entertained, when the population.
as officially ascertained, was below thirty
thousand. ..| ....I
Were there any doubt Of this being the
true construction OF the Constitution, II
would be dispelled by the early and long
continued practice Of the Federal Govern
ment. For nearly sixty years after the
adoption Of the Constitution, no State was
admitted with q population believed at the
time to be less than the current ratio for Q
Representative; and the frst instance In which
there appears to have been departure from
the principle was in ls45, In the case ol
Florida. Obviously the result Of sectional
strife, we would do well to regard II as warn
ing Of evil rather than as an example for imi.
tation; and think candid men Of oil parties
will agree that the inspiring cause Of the
violation Of this wholesome principle OF re.
stralnt Is to be found in vain attempt to
balance those antagonisms which refused to
be reconciled except through the bloody
arbitrament Of arms. The plain facts Of oui
history will attest that the great and leading
States admitted since 1845, viz: Iowa, Wis
consin, California, Minnesota, and Kansas
including Texas, which was admitted that
year, have all come with an ample population
for one Representative, and some Of then
with nearly or quite enough for two,
To demonstrate the correctness Of my
views on this question, subjoin table

tions TO the bill itself in relation TO the pur-
poses 10 be accomplished, this objection
would be fatal, as il Is apparent that the pro-
visions Of the third section OF the bill TO ad-
init Colorado have reference TO period and
a state Of facts entirely different from the
present, and affairs as they now exist, and II
carried into effect must necessarily lead to
confusion.
Even ifit were settled that the old, and not
new body were 10 act, Il would be found
impracticable TO execute the law, because q
considerable number Of the members, a. ]
am informed, have ceased 10 be residents Of
the Territory, and In the sixty days within
which the Legislature is TO be convened amer
the passage OF the act, there would not be
sufficient time to oil the vacancies by new
which they could be held.
II may not be improper TO add that II
these proceedings were all regular, and the
result to be obtained we're desirable, simple
justice TO the people Of the Territory would
require longer period than sixty days with
in which to obtain action on the conditions
proposed by the third section Of the bill.
There are, as Is well known, large portions Of
the Territory with which there Is and can be
no general communication, there being sew
eral counties which, from November TO May,
can only be reached by persons travelling on
foot, while with other regions Of the Terri
tory occupied by large portion Of the pop
ulation there is very little more freedom OF
access. Thus, II this bill should become q
law, IL would be impracticable to obtain any
expression Of public sentiment In reference
to its provisions, with view to enlighten the
Legislature, IL the old body were called to-
gether; and Of course equally impracticable
to procure the election OF new body. This
defect might have been remedied by an ex-
tension Of the time and submission Of the
question to the people. with o fair oppor-
tunity, to enable them to express their senti.
| ments.
The admission Of q new State has gen.
orally been regarded as an epoch in our his
tory, marking the onward progress OF the
nation; but after the most careful and anx-
ious inquiry on the subjectI cannot perceive
that the proposed proceeding is in conform
ity with the policy which, from the origin Of
the Government, has uniformly prevailed in
the admission Of new States. Therefore re-
turn the bill TO the Senate without my sigma
ture. ANDREW JOHNSON.
