Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Justice to the Land States: Speech of Hon. Charles Sumner, of Massachusetts, on the Iowa Land Bill; In the Senate of the United States, January 27, 1852 In the Senate. January 27, 1852. The Senate having under consideration the special order, being the unfinished business of the preceding day, the pending question being on the amendment offered by Mr. Underwood to the amendment reported by the Committee on Public Lands to the "bill granting the right of way and making a grant of land to the State of Iowa, in aid of the construction of certain railroads in said State" - Mr. Sumner said: This bill is important by itself, inasmuch as it promises to secure the building of a railroad at large cost, for a long distance, through a country not thickly settled, in a remote corner of the land. It is more important still as a precedent for a series of similar appropriations in other States. In this discussion, then, we have before us, at the same time, the special interests of the State of Iowa, traversed by this projected road, and also the great question of the administration cf the public lands, I have no inclination to go into these matters at length, even if I were able; but entertaining no doubt as to the requirements of policy and of justice in the present case, and in all like cases, seeing my way clearly before me by lights that cannot deceive, I hope in a few words to exhibit these requirements and to make this way manifest to others. And I am especially moved to do this by the tone of remarks which we often hear out of the Senate, and sometimes even here, begrudging these appropriations, and charging the particular States in which they are made with an undue absorption of the property cf the Union.
