up by the Statesman, o "ill give it n

Dy the above it .il be tern that the

Territory from the present state of dis

prevails. We havo uniformly opposed
the drawing of the lines here, aa we said
before, from honest convictions that it
would exert a deleterious influence upea
tho Territory, not allowing eur political
opinlona to influence our conclusions
