CiIOFS
Upon the question OF the selection OF
boundaries and area, recognize the
fact that it is we'll to take the sense OF
the people thereon. Therefore | say
there is no citizen of Dakota who Will
Join with more earnestness than will
to SO arrange thai before either OF the
divisions, as they have commonly
been accepted. of this great territory,
shall be separated one from the other,
into separate political organizations,
the vote OF the people of the whole
territory can be had thereon.
If the people OF this territory shall,
upon q proper presentation to them
of the issue whether they will enter
the American Union as one or two
states, determine that they prefer ad-
mission as one state to that decision
shall yield without o murmur. But
whether separated or whether we hall
continue in the future as one commune
ty, let us all understand, now and tor
ever, that we are brethren OF this
great northwest, with common polltl-
cal interests and common purpose.
have nothing to disguise here, ana
never had upon this question OF divis-
ion. / believe that it is for the inter
est OF all the people OF this territory
that it shall be divided somewhere on
or near the parallel that has been usu-
ally named, the Fortysixth parallel,
north latitude. l believe that it is
better for the people of a territory,
when organizing into state, that they
shall select such area and boundaries
as will give them q strong and sub.
stantial state; and also compact
government, not so large i'll area but
that every man may know the men
who govern, and every man be ableto
ascertain for the qualifications
OF those who seek elevation to power.
1t is maxim which cannot be disput-
ed and which has grown with the
American nation, that the closer the
government is to the people. the bet
ter the people are governed.
have had the privilege-and it has
been a privilege in some respects-to
understand the sentiment OF the re-
publican party of the nation as rep
resented by it's leading men upon
