John Perkins, Jr., Of Louisiana, on the Transfer to the States by the General Government of the Administration of the Public Lands Within Their Limits It was looking at this great development in 1839, when we had only about three-sevenths of our present territory, that Mr. Calhoun said he was satisfied that the period had arrived when its entire revolution, as applicable to the States, was unavoidable. His words were: The States have outgrown the system. Since its first adoption they have come into existence - have passed through a state of infancy - and are now arrived at manhood. The system which was wise and just at first, is neither wise nor just when applied to them in their changed condition.
