THECAPITAL QUESTION.
SPEECHOW H^^x. sample orr
Virgihia,Not 30th, 1867
TheQuestion being ^ Shall this bill^pass, the objections of the Governor to^the contrary notwithstanding, ^ he said:
Mr.President: When this bill^providing for the submission of the^removal of the Capital to a vote of the^people at the neit general election, came^up some ten days since. I, for reasons^satisfactory to myself, voted against it.^It however passed both Houses, and on^^ly wanted the approval of the Governor,^who instead of approving, returned it^together with his objections to the^House in which it originated. The^House, on a reconsideration, passed it^by a two-thirds vote, notwithstanding^the Governor's objections, and it was^again sent to the Council for our action.^I then intended to vote upon it without^remarks, but the action of the Council^having been postponed until now, cir^^cumstances have transpired that mr.ke^it a duty I owe to myself and family to^make a few remarks in explanation of^my action. I have never appeared un^^der circumstances so embarrassing. I^have often made efforts in tavor of Tem^^perance and Morality; have made^speeches where my reputation as a law^^yer was at stake, and more than once as^an aspirant lor political preferment, but.^during the fifty-one yearn that have
faasexlover me. this is tlie first time that^have been called upon to vindicate my^character for honesty and integrity. I^appear not as the advocate of Governor^Smith, nor to impugn the motives of any^member of this Council who may differ^with me upon this proposition. Gov^^ernor Smith is by the Organic Act, a co^^ordinate branch of the Legislature, and^without referring to his objections as^submitted when he returned the bill,^I take it for granted that he was actu^^ated by the reasons therein stated. lie^acts, as well as we, under the solemni^^ties of an oath, and no difference what^we may think of the principle of the^veto power, while it is in a constitution^or Organic Act, it is as much the duty^of the Executive to veto bills that he^thinks should not pass as to approve^those which he believes ought to pass ;^and no good man will question his mo^^tives. I exceedingly regretted to hear the^gentleman last up, intimate that if the^Governor should goto Helena he might^find himself thrown in a mining shaft.^It is but squinting at the threat in the^Helena paper ot rotten eggs. It only^^hows that there are yet men who would^crush out all o]K^sition to their views by^force, if they had the power. I^ast ses^^sion, the Capital question came up with^^out my aid or advice, and I voted for^Gallatin City, but Gallatin City had not^sufficient strength to carry it, and when^forced to vote between Helena and Vir^^ginia, I voted to take it to Helena, be^cause Helena was a more central point^than Virginia, but was then in doubt as^to the propriety of locating the Capital.^But Sir, we were here under very dif^^ferent circumstances then to those that^exist now. Then we had a fair and^equitable apportionment, nofc, withont^censuring the Governor, or any other^person, for the blunder, the facts and^figures at the last election show that^the present apportionment is unequal^and unjust, and to my mind, furnishes^a reason why a measure in which every^person in Montana Territory is interest^^ed, should not be acted upon at this^time. Edgerton county has, as all must^admit, more representatives than she is^entitled to, but for which the proposi^^tion to submit Helena as the place to be^voted lor against Virginia, could not^have been carried in my opinion. It^^eems to me ungenerous to urge it un^^der the circumstances. Another reason^not without weight, is that the Indian^title to all that portion of Montana Ter^^ritory east of the summit of the Ilocky^Mountains, has not been extinguished.^This may by many, be looked upon as^frivolous, but the Government has al^^ways, heretofore boasted that not one^foot of Indian Territory had been taken^but by treaty, and after paying for it.^No person in this Territory believes that^the government will ever give this sec^^tion of the country up to the Indians,^but does any person know, what may be^done. Refer to section one of the Or^^ganic Act. ^ Provided, That nothing^in this Act contained shall be construed^to inhibit the Government of the United^States from dividing said Territory or^changing its boundaries in such manner^and at such time as Congress shall deem^convenient and proper, or from attaching^any portion of said Territory to any oth^^er State or Territory of the United^States: Provided further, That noth^^ing in this Act contained shall be con^^strued to impair the rights of person or^property now pertaining to the Indians^in said Territory so long as such rights^shall remain unextinguished by treaty^between the United States and such In^^dians, or to include any Tei ritorv which,^by treaty with any Indian tribes, is not,^without the consent of said tribe, to be^included within the Territorial limits or^jurisdiction of any State or Territory;^but all such territory shall be excepted^out of the boundaries, and constitute no^part of the Territory of Montana, until^said tribe shall signify their assent to^the President of the United States to be^included within said Territory, or to af^^fect the authority of the government of^the United States to make any regula^^tions respecting such Indians, their^lands, property, or other rights, by treaty^law, or otherwise, which it would have^been competent for the government to^make if this act had never been passed.^^The tribe, or tribes to which belong this^portion of the Territory, Virginia City^and Helena, may have signified their as^^sent to the President of the United^States to be included within said Ter^^ritory, but if so, I am not apprized of it.^If they have, then it is s part of the^Territory, if not, then it is not. In eith^^er event, it belongs to the Indians until^the title is extinguished and Congress^has tbe reserved right, as will be seen^by the above portion of the Organic Act^to make any regulations respecting such^Indians, their lands, property, or other^rights, by treaty, law, or otherwise,^which it would have been competent for^the government to make if this act had^never passed. You Mr. President, may
voteto permanently locate the Capital I proper^I shall, as I did last session and^and erect buildings before the Indian | at the present, endeavor to procure the
titleis extinguished to the ground upon^which said buildings are to be, but I^will not. I do not believe this is the^proper time to remove the Capital, be^^cause no man can tell where the centre^of population may be ere another year^passes. This is a Territory unequaled^by any former one, in its resources. My^opinion is, that millions of inhabitants^can and will subsist here upon the agri^^cultural resources alone, while no coun^^try surpasses it in its hidden mineral^wealth only awaiting the capital neces^^sary to develop it, and which will rush^here as soon as we can become a State,^so as to ensure the capitalists against the^instability ot the Territorial laws which^are now subject to the whims of the Ju
locationto be made there. Th ere is the^most noted point in the history of the^Rocky Mountains; then* is the head of^the longest navigable river in the world;^there is a valley equalled by few and sur^passed by none in point of fertility and^beauty, rapidly being settled by an enter^^prising and permanent population, capa^^ble of furnishing all the necessaries and^luxuries required to support a capital. I^therefore believe there is the proper place^and take it when you will, some day it^will, in my opinion, go to Gallatin. Is a^mining town the proper place at which^to locate the capital ^ It was placed at^Bannack at a time when the enterprising^men of the mountains were there; and^when the excitement brought these men
diciaryand the action of Congress, j here, they managed to have the capital^Then, Sir, had we not better let it alone^where no money will be expended uutil^the Territory becomes settled up suffi^^ciently to secure our admittance as a^State, which I hope and believe will^not be long. But the gentleman from^Edgerton says if we will locate the Cap^^ital, Congress will appropriate money to^erect the building, and others say Con^^gress has appropriated it. I dont be^^lieve it has, or will, nor do I believe it^should do so, until we become a State,^or if any appropriation should be made,^it should not be used ior that purpose^until then. It would, it is argued, help^the Territory for Congress to expend a^large sum of money in the Territory,^even if the Capital did not remain per^^manent. So it might. It would help^some to use it in paying the^just liabilities of the Government^Congress may not give us trie money^necessary to erect a Capitol buiding if^we wait until we become a State ; nor do^I know whether we will receive any in^either event, but I know that justice de^^mands that we have it. The facts and fig^^ures will show that this Territory pays^nearer all the assessment than any other^Internal Revenue district, in the United^States. Pays nearly as much as any^two of the othei Territories. Mr. Lang-^ford collected this yeart)9f jx-r cent, ou^the assessment ; showing to my mind^that he is the best collector in the United^States, if not in the world, and that we^are doing our duty toward the Govern^^ment. It we never get a cent from the^Government, still I am for doing justice^to the whole people ot the Territory, in^permanently locating the Capital. The^Capital belongs to the people and not to^Virginia city or Helena, and does not^justice demand that the j^eople have the^the right to all the advance upon prop^^erty incident to its locution. Put it at^a town where the lots are owned by in^dividuals and you promote the individ^^ual interest of such owners ; but ^ 6tN^a section ot land from the Government,^lay it off into lots and sell them to the^highest bidder, and you can with the^money build a more splendid Capital^than Congress will ever build for us, and^then all can have an equal showing for
Fropertyat the Capital. Mr. President,^hold in my hand a petition, memorial,^or request from sundry citizens of Meagh^^er county, which reads as follows : ^To^the Hon. Sample Orr, Member of the^Legislative Assembly of Montana Terri^^tory.^The undersigned citizens of the^County of Meagher, respectfnlly repre^sent that by reason of their locality they^are identified in iuterest with Helena^city, and request you. as their represent^^ative, to vote for the removal of the^Capital of Montana Territory to that^City. By so voting you will not only^represent the interest of a large majority^of your own constituants, but also the^best interest of a majority of the Territo^^ry ; as Helena is amore central locality,^than Virginia city.^ Now, Sir. this doc^^ument has to it three hundred names^about 40 of whom I know from the^names, amongst whom are some of the^best men in my county, of both political^parties, and some of my best friends, I^take it that the oOO names are all bone-fi^da citizens of Meagher county, as I know^nothing to the contrary, and that they^are all good men. There is not voter in^my county or district who is not enti^^tled to have his proper weight through^me as his representative in this Legisla^^ture, whether he agrees with me in poli^^tics or not. The question then comes^up as to my duty on the Capital ques^^tion with this request in my possession,^300 men of my district, living within 40^miles ot Helena, saying that by reason ot^their locality, their interest is identified^with Helena, and that Helena is more^central than Virginia. That, I was well^apprised of before leaving home. Is there^one solitary man out of the 300 whose |^names appear here, who expects me to^use a public position to advance a pri^^vate interest of myself or any portion of^my constituents against the interest or^wishes of the pnblic ^ If so it is some
followthem, and now desire to have it^again follow them to Helena. Are we to^keep it upon wheels for their accommo^^dation ^ I have been referred to a letter^I wrote upon the annulment question to^show that I am inconsistent upon this^question. Let me read an extract or two:^^ Will the Governor order the election ^^I think not-^ Here I, in that letter, sup^^posed the Governor would disregard the^annulment act and go on under the laws^as passed by the bogus sessions, so-called,^and from what is said as to his canvass^ing the matter with some gentleman as to^the propriety ot submitting the capital^question to the vote of the people last fall,^1 presume he thought of doing as I lec-^ommended. I read again from my letter^published in tne Gazette and Democrat:^^ What can be done to prevent such con^^tusion, such contempt for law, and such^a de.-ire for men to take their grievances^into their own hands as will follow it we^submit to such a proposition ^ There^are but two propositions that present^themselves to me. One is for every good^man in the Territory, be he Democrat or^Republican, to unite in an endeavor to^get Congress to remove such a blunder^from the statute book of the United^States, as all are interested in the welfare^ot the Territory. I will not attempt now^to guess at the xuotives that actuated any^person to procure the passage of the act.^All pariies are alike aflbcteq by it if en^^forced. I predict that any man or party^that approves or attempts to carry out^the provisions of said act will dig his po^^litical grave. The second proi^osition is^for every lover of law and order to go on^under the Oiganic Act, and pay no atten^^tion to the act above all uded to. I take it^that the courts will be governed by the^laws made by the people of the Territory;^but should i be mistaken, then we have^the undoubted right to take a caae to the^Supreme Court of tbe United States,^where such an absurd attempt will be^declared void, in my opinion. It v\ill^eo^t ^ mey and time to do so, but I will^help furnish the money, bad as I need it,^rather than sit quietly by and see the last^vestige of constitutional liberty wiped^out.
Didany man come to aid my propo^^sition I No. If the people had, 1 think^it would have been settled by the Su^^preme Court that the laws annulled were^legal and right, and then the vote would^hrive been taken upon the capital ques^^tion. But instead, Judge Munson, a cit^^izen of Helena (as he says) procured the^act, with others, annulled, and the editor^of the Herald, who is now slandering^me because I will not again help to enact^a law by which Helena can, as he thinks,^procure the capital, came out with an^extra upon the reception of the dispatch^that said act had been declared null and^void^Glory, halieluyah ! ! ! ^ I am not^disposed to help re^enact said law to sat-^isty his wrath.
Mr.President, permit me, in conclu^^sion, to refer to a few of the slanders and^false statements made by the Helena^Herald nail Gazette. I have been in poli^^tics tor 20 years to a certaiu degree, and^this is the first time I ever had to allude^to what a newspaper has said of me. Pa^^pers and politicians have ofteu differed^with me, and have tried to show that I^was not qualified to discharge the duties^pertaining to the office to which I have^aspired,but from Tennessee through Mis^^souri to the Rocky Mountains, none have^before assailed my character for honesty^and integrity. But these men assert that^1 have been intimating or telling it^around the streets that I refused^ten thousand dollars to vote for^Helena, and assert that I am mad be^^cause I did not get it ^ and that I could^have been bought ten times to locate^the Capital in Halifax or Turkey for one^half that sum. Any man that asserts^that I could have been bought at any^price, or that I was using a public posi^^tion to vent a private grudge, is^using the liberty of the press to^crush and destroy the last posses-
