,nexhaustible. as is shown by this map.
see it stated here that there is a vast
scope Of territory, cmbrating an area Of
o'er two million square miles. rich IN
every element OF material wealth and CON-
mercial prosperity, all trib ptary to Duluth.

Look at it, sir, (pointihg to the map)
do not ynn see from these broad brown
lines drawn around this immense territory
that the cnt,rprising inhah ahitants Of Duluth
intend some day 10 inclost It all in one
vast corral. so that its commerce will be-
bound to 20 there whether it would or
not irea, laughter. | Aud here. sir.
(still pointing to the map.) find within
a convenient distance the Pisgau Indians,
which. Of all the many accessories to the
glory Of Duluth. | consider by Ear the
most incstimable. For, sir, | have been
told that when the small pox breaks cut

Sir the great conhict now rag;n in the

sir, | wish to ask il you honestly and can-
dialy believe that the Dutch would have
ever overrun the French in that kind Of
style if General Sheridan had not gone over
there and told King William and Won
