In Mr. Throop's report his allusion to Mr. Seymour's "map and red lines " was generally looked upon as a burlesque, but in my opinion that "map and red lines'" did more in attracting attention to Lansing than, any or all speeches in the halls of legislation.
And now I will not weary you by detailing the progress of the bill through the tedious forms of legislation. Those who feel interested in the formal and technical details of nations to amend, to strike out, to insert, and to recommit, with all the paraphernalia of legislative formality, are respectfully referred to the journals. From these you will learn that Mr. Throop, the chairman of the select committee, submitted his report on February 4, and that the report of Messrs. Pierce and Marantette was also submitted on the same day; also that on the day following, being February 5, Mr. Goodrich submitted his report on the same subject.
