providing for the admission Of Mon
tsDa with other territories. IL hal
been published ln full Ia the territory
and read with more than a passing
interest, and, while il places upon us
-ome restraints neither called for by
the exigencies of the case nor by
national justice, we believe that the
provisions Of this bill are upon the
whole reasonable, and that the pass
ing Of the bill would bring about th,
result most devoutly hoped for by oul
people. We therefore most respect
fully. earnestly and hopefully ask fol
the favorable consideration OF said
bill, or any other bill which will brin,
about the same result at an early date
in order that we, your fellow citizens

which you now possess, and of which
