We are told by those opposed to the measure, that when we cease 10 be q Territory and be- come State, we may bid final adieu to our cherished hopes of internal improve ment. Is 1t so? Is there truth in this sur- gestion? We have been told that our works ot internal improvement, now in progress, will, on our becoming State, advance to their completion, as though our conditiea had not been changed. The truth of this position will not be questioned by any who will take the pains 10 examine tho items of the annual appropriation bill. We have been told III the veto message, that works ot ndtsonat character will also meet with iayor. What more do We wantl We have already fund, valuable 1t will be some day hence, now yielding Us a revenue to make roads. The grant of the salines and lead mines for such purposes are referred to. In addition to this, we shall, doubtless, re- celye on our adoption into the Union what the other States have received: if not over o20,000 acres as Indiana had; if not 49o,- 000 as Illinois had; if not 100000 as Ala bama had: and if not one million and half as Ohio had; for works ofinternal improve ment we shall receive what each of the States did receive when they became men~ bers of the Union, 5 per cent. upon the nett proceeds of tho sales of the public lands Tor our lecal works Of internal improve ment. With these resources, 1t Is thought the remaining works we have in contem- plation can be amply provided for. Know ing these things, we view with suspicion and inefable contempt, the efforts of those who are striving to balk US in d lofty under taking, by appeals to the selfish and sord;;,i passions ot human nature. Having view ed thls subject in its most hideous and ap- paillng aspect, we will now examine it in another. When we shall become a State. and not before, our Constitution will be- come fixed, permanent, and certain. While others, and not ourselves, judge of our wants and apply the remedies, 1t is na- tufal that we should be but rarely satisfied. When our "overseer,o his secretary. and our law expounders, are taught to look to us. and not to others, as the fountain Of their honor and consequence, they will be more apt to heed the murmurs of the peo- pie, and more properly appreciate and feel for the interests of the whole community. Unworthy fayorites will find their proper level, and honest homesprn merit obtain it's just reward. Emigration will increase. and with t the wealth, skill, and resources of tiIe country. We shall have the right to vote for President and Vice President of the United States-no trlfing privilege, bS the bye. In short, we shall be free, which we hold that no people are, so long as their laws are made for them by others, and not by themselves-so long as absolute and un- conditional sovereignty is exercised over them by the king, lords and commons, or by congress itself.
