On the other hand..it is admitted that New Mexico is well governed. and is inhabited by an industrious. intelligent people. whose higher and only civil allegiance is to the Government of the United States. The foreign and nativeborn population is about equal in numbers. and they live and act In harmony. An end has about come to more than the usual foreign immigration which is seeking homes in the far West. and with statehood the only valid objection to the admission of New Mexico would quickly pass away. The brave and ambitious youth of New England. the Mississippi Valley States. the Northwestern and Southern States would flock there as they do to the other Territories. With or without statehood New Mexico must inevitably be peopled very soon by a majority of nativeborn citizens.
