Bnt there is a reason for that. I suppose they see that there is a band of white men hanging along the borders there that want to go in. How is it in Dakota. in Washington Territory. in Idaho. in Oregon. in all that northern country t Are not the white men pushing in there I This bill is intended to make a road for them so that no man can obstruct their entrance and immigration in that country. but when you come to the southern territory of the Indian Nation. this bill is intended to lock it up so that no man can enter in. There is a crying and a gross injustice against a certain section of this country. The honorable Senator from Texas may think that the interests of his State require that white immigration should be shut out of the Indian Territory. I do not know what he may think about that. but if he does he makes a great mistake. I could not give my consent to the bill without the amendment of the honorable Senator from Missouri.
