It is now a tollgate between empire States taxing and oppressing one of the greatest line of railways that enter and pass through Missouri. This should not be the case. and as a Missourian I protest solemnly against it. Ah. some gentlemen on this floor become horrified when I proclaim that I am in favor of removing all barriers to emigration into that Territory. They say you violate a solemn treaty. Too late. now. to assume such honesty after the progenitors of these same gentlemen in years gone by drove the Indians ovei solemn and broken treaties from Plymouth Rock to the Alleghanies.
