and that the area of Nebraska is ninety-live thousand miles greater
than that of all the non slavebolding .dates except California. Oregon
Is nearly equal in extent to all New England, New York, Poonsyl
viuila, Ohio, and Indiana. It is possible that New Mexico and Mcsllla
will be embraced in ooo territorial organization by Congress at tie
