Esw Mexico applies at the family door for
admission into the Union as a State. Com.
paratiyeiy little seems to be known OF this
Territory, its resources and people by the
average reader. Its geographical pos ton,
distance from the settled portion of the
other States, and .nconvenient and nncom.
Portable modes of public travel render it
almost inaccessible 10 the modern traveller.
and its world is nearly a sealed bosk to the
people beyond ats limits. She has an ares.
Of about 100000 square miles, and claims a
population of !i3 0Uo. She maintains, also.
that her ability for self-suppcrt ia well es-
tabli9hed. upon the ground that. while
all the other Territories have. a. some
time during :heir territorial existence,
appealed to charity for bread to feed
their tamishiDg inha bitants, or relief from
pestilenco and fire, New Mexico, besides
having an abundance for her own people,
has always had a surplus more than suf-
hcient to supply the army stationed il New
Mexico and Arizona with breadstutfs and
forage. The people are affirmed to be law
abiding. industrious, thrifty and frugal,
hospitable and generous; conservative IN
financial affairs; slow to contract debts, and
willing to make sacrifices to pay them. 1t
is further urged that since the adoption of
the federal constitution fifteen new States
have been admitted, each having q popula-
tion of less than 5000, and one of the
number less than 81, 900, while the average
Of the whole fifteen was about g. 600.
Hence, she cOnslders there il NO princinla
Of right or justice upon which she can
be longer refused admission into the
Union.
