But no organic law can ever be framed with a provision specifically applicable to every question which may occur in practical administration.
Seite 232 - Provided, That nothing in this act contained shall be construed to inhibit the government of the United States from dividing said territory into two or more territories, in such manner and at such times as congress shall deem convenient and proper, or from attaching any portion of said territory to any other state or territory of the United States...
