In addition to the above, more than half of our counties have erected commodious and elegant court houses of stone or brick within the past ten years. It seems 1 strange that with all these facts in her favor, New Mexico should have been so long deprived of state- hood. It would be foolish to ignore the fact that there has existed in the eastern mind a prejudice against her on account of the supposed CHARACTER OF THE POPULATION. By many the people are looked upon as foreign and not in harmony w...ith American institutions. It is strange that this objection should arise in a. Land which absorbs half a million of foreigners every year, and which manages to assimilate the very worst elements of continental Europe. It should be remembered that New Mexico was acquired in 1846, that all of its inhabitants except the oldest were born on American soil, and that its people belonged to a sister republic with institutions similar to ours, and so needed no new education in free government. For almost half a century they have been electing their legislatures, making their laws, and carrying on their local government under the American system.
