yesterday, in reference to the bill now
before them for the admission Of Colo

also said that the Territory of Wyoming
would, probably, not within the lives Of
those present, have requisite popula-
ton to qualify her for admission, and
that it was q useless expense and burden
to keep up territorial governments. He
was therefore in favor of suitable &C.
ton by Congress to abolish the Territory
J of Wyoming and restore its domains t.
} those territories from which it was origi
, nally formed. viz: Utah, Montana, Ida
: no and Colorado. He thought this &C
ton would be just to all. as Wyoming
, population did not exceed 10, 900; and h
also believed that by the acquisition t.
q Colorado, and the increase of her popu
D lation during the next year, she woul
