Mr.. Prichard arose to question OF
privilege, and sent to the reading clerk to
be read a printed document, which had
been sent to congress by certa.H parties
from Albuquerque, testing against the
admission of New Nexico as Il state.
After the document Was read, he said that
he desired to make lew remarks upon
the contents, inasmurh as il reflected upon
the members of this legislative assembly.
The document, he said, was a tissue OF
falsehoods and was filled with ignorance
and malice. He regretted to be called
upon to notice this libel at time when
New Mexico was about to throw of her
the robes of statehood; when We were
about to join the sisterhood OF states in the
march Of progress; when we were on the
eve of inviting capital into our territory to
develop our unlimited resources; when
the wand of industry was ready to smite
our mountain sides and disentomb the
riches that would outshine the wealth of
Ormus and India; when our great valleys
were to be opened up to the farmers OF
the east, to be ladened with the cereals
and fruits indi,. eaous to this beautiful
land; upon all these things and many
more advantages almost within our
grasp these slanGe r is and caluminators
send to congress batch of unparalleled
falsehoods to poison and prejudice the
minds OF our eastern friends against us, to
cut off population OF ITO 900 Of people in
this great territory. Thank God, there
are to be found only about fifteen or
twenty persons who have the audacity to
make these attacks upon us. These libel
ers say at is not to the business interests
of the people of New Mexico to be admit
ted into the union !" Was there
ever state admitted when the business
interest was injured by the act? 1t is the
experience OF all of us that a moment
territory goes into the union as state it
is the beginning of a new epoch in its
history. Why should New Mexico be an
exception to the rule? They say it is not
the desire of great majority of New
Mexico's citizens to be admitted. From
what knowledge or by what authority do
they thus speak? Have they made a
canvass OF this question? Are they not
cognizant of the fact that the people of
the territory met but few weeks ago at
this capital and passed resolutions asking
the territory's admittance2 They say it
is not to the business interests of the ter
ritory to be admitted. Probably it would
not be to the interest of this class of in
dividuals. One of the signers of that
libel, Joshua S. Reynolds, is banker; he
loans his money at from u to "a per cent
per anum. Why? Because capital is
timid of territories, and thus money
lenders in the territory are but few. Adj
nit New Mexico into the union as a
state and money would be easy, could
probably be secured at from to 6 Der
cent. This would injure the business of
this financial vampire. The harder the
times, and scarcer the money, the greater
is the interest he gets upon his loans.
Another one of the signers is vender
of cheap whisky, and if reportsare true
