CREATING NEW STATES.
Work That Congress May Do, but,

Several times it has been proposed

include all of the present state south

still to be retained The surrounding
islands of the south-all those of Long
Island sound. Long Island complete
and all of the counties comprising
New York city--were to he embraced
within the new state of Manhattan.
The creation of new state confers
n right that cannot later he abrogated
and in this respect is unique in the
establishment of political areas. After
the people of the district in question
have decided by vote that the carry
ing out of new state is desired. con
gress passes upon the application. Up
TO this point congress is supreme.
Once. however. congress agrees to the
new state creation and the new state
becomes an established fact. then no
power of the republic can undo what
has been done by legislative act. No
repeal can revoke the privileges of a
law abiding sovereign state. - New
