The light of Congress to appropriate
money out of the public treasury for any

risdiction of a State, is constructive,

or credits to private corporations, or to
invest such corporations with any exclu>
Give privileges III any State. or any CON-
mon Territory of the United States out
side Of the District of Columbia, for any
purpose whatever, is neither an express,
imp led or constructive right within the
scope Of the constitutional powers dele
gated to Congress; it is downright
usurpation, piactised and tolerated by
lo5-rolling combinations in Congress for
division Oh the spoils, comprising latl-
tudinarians, strict corstructionists, and
time serve. who seek their own promo
lion by exhibitions of zeal for their cons
stitueuts, regardless of the principles in
volved. If there is any portion of the
Union to which the General Government
has even the implied right to extend its
aid for purposes of internal improvement,
it is the Territories which are held in
ward and the citizens thereof deprived of
their inal;enaLle right Of self government
under the clause of the constitution
which vests in Congress the power to
make needful rules and regulation for
the disposal of territory and other prop
erty" belonging to the United States; the
last clause baving always been construed
by Congress as embracing the citizens of
the Territories, cattle subject to taxation
without representation. AS the custo-
dians of the common property of the
United States in the Territories, Congress
might reasonably encourage settlement,
enhance the value of the public domain,
and promote general prosperity. That
has never been done in the case OF this
Territory, because it has no vote in Cons
gress to exchange with other Senators
and members for share in the spoiIs
which are bountifully distributed among
those who have the power to take them.
Since Oregon was admitted into the
Union, leaving that portion of Oregon
Territory now embraced in Washington

from Congress five or six large grants OF
public lands and millions of dollars of
public money for purposes of internal
Improvements, while Washington, the
special ward of the Government, with

Government, has never received grant

Gratis as persistently declared for Federal

is final and cannot be questioned by the
Federal powers, said the old advocates
of Federal supremacy. 1t is tho right
and the duty of the Federal Government
to review and if necessary reverse the

exclusively within the jurisdiction OF the
latter, was the declaration of the old
Democrats on that Board, with whom
state sovereignty had been the cherished
tenet throughout their public career
The high position which they occupied.
and the solemn trust committed to their
discretion, was subordinated to party.
Justice Bradley, the only member of the
commission who gave a logical and sat>
istactory reason for his decision, has been
the object of more adverse criticism and
party spite than any member who had
nothing better to offer for his decision
than that be voted with his party. The
strict application of state sovereignty
doctrine lost the Democracy President,
and the Republican party won victory

endorsing that doctrine. Democrats

rivers within and upon its borders, a
broader area OF cOal-fields and iron beds,
the largest and best body of lumber and
ship building timber, and the greatest
agricultural capacity of any State OR
Territory in the Union. While millions
upon millions of the peoples acres and
the peoples money have been lavished
upon private corporators and used main
ly for purposes OF private speculation
and oppression, the settlers upon the

upon the idea that
Enough for the rabble to know OF their lords,
Is what the dim light OF taxation affords
The tonnage engaged In the commerce
of Puget Sound is more than that EN-
ployed on the Columbi., which drains
Oregon. Eastern Washington and North
ern Idaho. The commerce of Puget Sound
mas been built up by the unaided efforts
of the settlers; that OF the Columbia riv-
er has been constantly under Govern
ment patronage. The only railroad which
has contributed to the commerce of Pu-
get Sound was built by the people of
Seattle without any alu or concession
from Congress.
Our Delegate succeeded by persistent
solicitation in getting an order for the
survey of the Skagit river and an estl-
mate of the cost of clearing out the jams
near the mouth of the same. The survey
was made and the cost estimated-if we
remember correctly--at $4,000, but no
appropriation was made for that purpose
Half dozen loggeis dubbed together,
and by their own labor, aided by contri-
buttons of supplies to the amount OF a
few hundred dollars, cleared out those
jams and opened the river to steamboat
navigation for 70 miles through section
before inaccessible full as rich as that
bordering upon the Willamette river,
upon the improvement Of which Con>
gress expends tens of thousands of dol
lars annually. With the opening of the
Skagit gold mines the travel and traffic
on that river will greatly exceed that of
the Willamette, and yet Congress refuses
to reimburse the poor men who opened
it to navigation. Are these things right
towards citizens of the United States de-
prived OF a voice in the Government ?
