By what authority would the governor of a State enter upon the lands of the United States. and from what source would he derive his authority to invade them? I use the term " invade " in its legal. not in its military sense. The seeds of this plant. asIunderstand. fly upon the winds. they go everywhere. and the mere clearing of one tract of land. or one county or one State. would be entirely ineffectual. because I am told. so far as we know. this injurious plant was brought into the Northwest by Russian immigration. The mere seed came without the knowledge of the owners of the baggage. they came with their baggage. they came with whatever those immigrants imported. and the weed has grown from time to time until it has taken possession of several States. or threatens to do so. Those seeds are borne upon the winds. They are like the seeds of many other plants with which we are familiar.
