Mr. LANE, of Kansas. From 1855 till last spring they have been engaged in war. They have been robbed during this war. They have suffered the loss of $100,000 where Iowa has suffered the loss of one dollar. They were plundered by border rutfians in 1855, 1856, and 1857, and by the rebels during this War. I desire to say that I shall vote for the State organization of Colorado, because her people have signified their willingness to bear the bur dens of a State government. That is all the question we have a right to ask, and it is all tequestion we have ever asked: are the people asking for a State government ready and Willing to take upon themselves the burden of a State government? No rule as to population has governed the reception of new States. Colorado has today more white inhabitants within her borders than Florida had when she was admitted. Today, Colorado has almost as many souls within her border as Kansas had when every Republican in both branches of C congress voted for her reception. Mr. President, we are building a worlds thoroughfare across this continent. That thoroughfare in its construction and afierit is constructed must be protected. The best and cheapest way to protect those engaged in the construction of that road, and to protect it after its construction, is by having a cordon of States to protect it. It is for that reason. as well as the reasons that induced me to ask for the reception of Kansas, that I shall vote for the recetion of Colorado. I will cheerfully vote for tereception of Nebraska; I will heartily vote for the reception of NewMexico; and the only question I will ask will be, are you willing to relieve the General Government from the expense of a territorial government? Are you willing to take upon yourselves the expense and burden of a State government? Idesire to say to the Senfrom Iowa, that while we have Indians within our borders that most of the agents come from the State, he has the honor to represent, and if there are any stealings in that direction, they may be charged to the State of Iowa.
