Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Admission of New Mexico as a State Her Resources and Future: Speech of Hon. Stephen B. Elkins, Delegate From New Mexico, in the House of Representatives, May 21, 1874 The House, according to order, proceeded to consider the bill (H.R. No.2418) to enable the people of New Mexico to form a constitution and State government, and for the admission of the said State into the Union on an equal footing with the original States - Mr. Elkins said: Mr. Speaker: I desire to urge the passage of the bill now pending before the House, providing for the admission of New Mexico as a State into the Union, on the following grounds and for the following reasons, in the presentation of which I beg the patience and indulgence of this House: First. Because she is entitled to such admission as a matter of right, having the requisite population prescribed by law and the capacity to support a State government. Second. She is entitled to admission into the Union by reason of the promises and assurances made by our Government to her people previous to the ratification of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, by which she was ceded to the United States, as also by the terms and stipulations of the treaty itself. Population. In 1850 the population of New Mexico was 61,547, and in 1860, 93,516 showing an increase in ten years of about 32,000, or about 50 percent. In 1870, according to the census - which was necessarily imperfect owing to remote settlements and Indian hostilities - the population was 91,871, showing an apparent decrease from 1860 to 1870. This is owing to the fact that during that time the Territory of Arizona was organized out of New Mexico, taking 9,000 of her people, and there was annexed to Colorado the northern tier of counties, containing a population of about 15,000 - making in all taken from New Mexico during this period 23,000 people.
