		When these officials arrived in the new territory, the Territorial Governor issued a proclamation calling for an election of a territorial assembly, a body similar to a legislature in the states, and a representative to serve as a non voting member of the House of Representatives in Congress.
		Territorial governments composed of officials appointed from Washington and representatives elected from the territory serving in the assembly created counties and authorized establishment of governments at that level.
		The difference between government in the territories and in the states is that the territorial governors, secretaries and judges, that composed the court system and the Territorial Supreme Court, were appointed by the President, not elected by the citizens of the State.

	Chronicles of Oklahoma
		The Indian territory proposed by the bills of 1834 and 1838 was a buffer between the United States and Mexico; the Indian territory in 1848, although it had practically the same boundaries, had become a barrier through the geographical center of the United States as constituted after the war with Mexico.
		The bill, as it passed the house, provided for the organization of a territory bounded on the north by the forty-third parallel, on the east by the states of Missouri and Iowa, on the south by the line of thirty-six thirty, and on the west by the Rockey mountains.
		As the territory to be opened north of this line was many times as extensive as the territory south of it, this plan did not prove attractive.

		In speaking of the ecclesiastical jurisdictions, Francis Duaren observes, that the ecclesiastics are said not to have territory, nor the power of arrest or removal, and are not unlike the Roman magistrates of whom Gellius says vocationem habebant non prehensionem.
