Cdnf0rn1a, are demanding that Con9fos
shall admit Dakota.
We do not believe, that the party now
in power can afford to antagonize the SEN
timent of Justice on the part of the Amer
lean people, which is thus voiced by the
press.
We do not believe, that the present
National Administration, viii have the
disposition so to do.
One thing is sure, if the 250,0O0 people
OF Dakota, by a full vote at the polls, this
coming November, adopt this Constitn-
ton, and elect their State Government,
and elect such men, as will represent
tneir wishes, and il the people of the new
state, after e~lecting them, with the temp
er and firmness, of American citizens,
stand upon their rights, under the Con-
stitution of the United States, and sup
port their State Government, the people
of the United States viii respect their
attitude, and viii join with them, in de-
manding their immediate admission. And
n of two results, will purely follow,
either the immediate admission of the
State OF Dakota, by the next Congress, at
its first session, or the hurting from
power, OF the Congress. that thus abuses
its power, and defies the public sentiment
Of the country. It is time that Congress
cease to trhe with the rights and interests
of $4,000 citizens Of the United States.
We believe, that your admission into

ton to Section III II Article 4 with re-

APPROPRIATIONS
We cali your especial attention, to the
provisions upon appropriations, contained

Article II BY these provisions, we think
the Constitution VIII effectually prevent
such disgraceful appropriations as have
characterized many of your Legislatures,

If Dakota should be admitted as a
whole, all these donations and grants but
the last named would only be as much for
the whole. as for either of the two States
separately. Therefore. it is easy to sec
that by division, the people of the new
State, will gain twice the value In these
grants, which they would gain If admitted

D~TMINURIoN OF TAXES 70 BE OBTAINED BY
STATEHOOD.
The school lands which will belong to
the new State OF Dakota will be IN round
numbers about 100000 acres, and are
valued at S~27,00O,000. OF these, the Con-
stitution provides that no mo 70 than one
third, shall be sold in the firt five years,
which viii amount to 100000 acres. Esti-
mated at the minimum value of so per
acre, the total sum realized by the sales of
these lands viii be 5 s,0O0,0O0. This sum,
viii bear interest at not less than six per
cent. Six per cent, on the sum. gives q
total revenu of $4,000. Besides this
revenue, the lands thus sold are mmedi-
ately subject to taxation, and the revenue
obtained from these lands in the way of
taxes, at two mills on a dollar amounts to
$4,000. Thus the total revenue, immedi-
ately obtained for school purposes, for
the people, by Statehood, will be S546, 900.
