Now. the very point made in the report and claimed as a strong one in behalf of the bill. that he ought to be so interested in property and matters of local interest in the Territory. is a point against the passage of the bill. because of the fact that so many men in the Territories as we are well aware are transient in their residence and are there only seeking temporary advantages in the selection and acquiring of landed interests. the purchasing of sites near towns. in railroad interests. and other matters of that character. Now. sir. I maintain that for both these reasons it is of great importance that one functionary of this Territory connected with legislation should represent the interests of all the States of this Union and of all future immigrants into any Territory.
