From humblest shed, from highest hall Will Truth and Courage ever soar! The impelling power which knows no thral Its name, Excelsior; Ambition Is not of 1t born, It seeketh not that fever cup, But, like the sun that gilds the morn, By its own nature riseth up: Riseth alway to brighter days, To destiny by brth-rght given, Until it blendeth high away In it's own essence-Heaven. Thus with the hero of my verse, From germ-tme to his ripeness grown, Doing deeds which History will rehearse, And glory call her own; In youth to noble acts impelled, In manhood borne to higher fame, In age admiring worlds beheId His name the loftiest name; And now from highest, proudest place, Still upward hath his footsteps trod, Till in perfection's full embrace, He dwelleth near his God.

communities by the action Of Congress, and the process by which deduced this attribute Of selfgovernment have just explained. But, sir, when the United States refuse or neglect to institute governments for new acquisitions, bold 1t to be the right Of the people TO provide governments for themselves. He who does not feel and acknowledge that clear right of self preservation as inherent in every community when neglected by its sovereign, if il have one, entertains views 50 different from mine on the great question of human rights that we have no common ground upon which to argue" This covers the whole field of controversy We beg to inquire of all those who supported Mr.. CAss in the last Presidential canvass, how they can with any consistency oppose the appli- cation of New Mexico for admission into the Union, while at the same time they advocate a territorial government TO be established over rant of the principle maintained by him in re- ference to the rights and privileges of terri torial people. And what right or privilege is there which the citizens of State possess Of domestic nature which he did not assert for the people of Territory? No territorial government" he says, 6 was ever established which had not power to regulate the domestic relations of husband and wife, of parent and child, and Of guardian and ward; and if the in habtants are competent to manage these great interests, and, indeed, the interests belonging to all the departments Of society, including The issues Of life and death, are they not competent to manage the relation of master and servant, involving the condition of slavery" What more enlarged power, what additional rights, what increased privileges, connected with the internal affairs of n community, can State government bestow than are here enumerated as belonging to a territorial people? How can it be urged by any of those who supported the Michigan Senator for the Presi- dency, that the people of New Mexico are quail fled for the duties
