Chairman. in the State I represent. and in other States and Territories. on account of the peculiar nature of our lands and clinmate. we willbe left practiecly without a school fund unless this and some other propositions I shall propose are adopted. You all know the small proportion of minors to adults in new countries. Men emigrate from the East. leaving behind their wives and children. and come to the West for the purpose of subduing the wilderness and preparing homes to receive them. and this is only accomplished after the lapse of years. and the result of this fact must inevitably be that while South Carolina. New York. Alabama. and other of the older States will receive large sums of these proceeds for the education of their children.
