So that the Hannibal and St. Joseph railroad grant is not only recommended by its i intrinsic merits, but by the tendency it will have i to benefit a large and most meritorious class of our citizens who are scattered all over the Union. What is theextenlof thegrantlask. ' I am able to answer this question from official documeiits. The whole amount of public lands witliin six miles of each side of the proposed route of the Hannibal and St. Joseph railroad was, on the Uih day of April, 1847, 640,... 302 acres. A portion of these lands has passed into private hands since that time. All of them have been subject to private entry for many years— most of them sixteen years and upwards — so that they have been culled over and over again, and rejected as worth less than one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre. The most that Missouri can receive by the grant I ask is 320, 181 acres of refuse land. She would not probably receive more than 250, 000 acres if the grant should pass to-day. And in return for that, she not only engages to construct a railroad whi^h will enhance your public domain two or three times as much as this grant will amount to, but to carry your troops and munitions of war over the road free of all charge forever, and to transport your mails at such prices as you shall prescribe.
