CONTINENTAL UNITY.

Some honestly believe that nations require for
their proper control and government,' other adjoin-
ing nations to adjust and balance them. If this
be true it would raise a fatal objection to the fa-
vourite American idea of a Government embracing
the Northern continent of America. The question
is whether it be true, and if so, by what experi-
ence is that necessity shown. As history fails to fur-
nish a parallel case, nosuch experiment having been
tried, the opinion must arise from conjecture only,
based on the known peculiar Hes of our nature. If
there has been no such nationality in history as that
proposed by Americ ins, there can be no le. sons in
the past of which the Republic can avail itself. While
making full allowance for the vice of human nature,
which eerverts the richest gifts a bountiful Pnovi-
DENCE can bestow,if we reason from analogy and pro-
bability, the balance of the argument is a' toge th.e. in
favour of the Americen notion. The presumpjon
must be, that the Government is free and enlight-
ened, corn paring favourably with any other elsewhere
eztabliehed. None can deny that this is the case as
regards the Republic, the faults it developes not
being faults of the-constitution, but emanating from
the corruption of our nature ; hence not only must
the Government be good, but the people must be
virtuous ; and this also we.are compelled to assume.
It will be difficult. to disprove that granting this
Government, granting such a people merged into one
race, with one language, and a good code of laws,
that it is desirable they should cover a continent, for
the blessings are palpable to the dullest comprehen-
sion, while the evils thus aveite I are still plainer.
Those who attempt to refute• the conception ought to
be furnished with very powerful arguments, for they
reason against common sense. It is possible that
our judgment may be wrong and our sense may be-
no sense at all, but it requires something more than
sophistry and plausible arguments to show this
against such plain matters of fact. We are not
familiar with the arguments urged against the
American conception of a Continental nation ; in-
deed, the only one we ever heard was briefly this,
that a nation required to be balanced by a nation
without, as a party by a party within. This is an
assumption, evidently based on the belief that the
nation unchecked would run riot, as does the un-
opposed. majority. If it be so the Confederation
of the Colonies into the New Dominion is a happy
move, to which all Americans ought to wish success,
and even the United States would have to look in
the end to a split, regarding itself as the mother
and nurse of divers infant natioes. In such a case
the Republic's destiny would not be unlike that of
Great Britain, who, having founded colonies, is
qualifying them for independence, and in ceasing
to boast of an empire on which the sun never sets,
may have a prouder boast in pointing to her grow-
ing,
energetic, and prosperous children. There
cannot be a question that the mighty mission
of the great Republic is best carried out, whether
it leads eventually to separate nationalities or not,
by a single Government in the first instance. In-
deed, the peopling of the continent would have
been indefinitely delayrd brit for the fortunate rise
of that controlling power. Through its means the con-
tinent is thrown open and made• accessible; there
are no barriers here, no repelling laws and influ-
ences there ; " the earth is the LORD'S, and the
fulness thereof ;" and having bestowed it on the
people He has created, that Government acts as His
agents in carrying out the Divine command. The
poor of all nations are more especially invited
to come ; and they are offered a boundless
choice, not the slighest impediment being placed
in the direction their inclination takes. Instead,
every obstacle is carefully removed, and the emi-
grant may settle, if it pleases him, on the sunny
slopes of California, by the sky-tinted lakes of
Minnesota, on the banks of the "Father of Waters,"
on the open prairie or in the primeval forest, in a
populous city, in a manufacturing town, in a mining
region, or on a sugar or cotton plantation. A great
Government manages a vast estate in the interests
of mankind, and until that estate is disposed of it is
surely for the welfare of nations that that manage-
ment should continue. So strongly is this felt that
all land on the continent gravitates towards the
States, and Americans are assured that the new
Dominion has but to be left to itself to drift under
the laws of self-interest into the Union. In
the first instanc then, all will admit that it
is advisable a central power should exist capable

of building the Pacific Rai'road, and of cover-
ing all its territory with railways, canals, and means
of communication ; but many may hold that when
its work is completed, of ter its territory has been peo-
pled, nature under her own laws will subdivide the
overgrown power into nations. The arguments used
are not, without force, and may prove true, though
we are far from thinking so. It is contended that Lou-
isiana rears a man wholly differing in tastes, man-
ners, ideas, even in person, from the man raised in
Maine. The seafaring people of the Atlantic Coast
as well as of the Pacific Coast will have little in
common with the inhabitants of the far interior,
and these differences will derive weight from con-
flicting material interests. It may be so, but we
cannot see it ; for material interests do not clash
except where they are artifteially created, and brought
into conflict by bad fiscal laws. It is evident
that the coal of Pennsylvania and the water-
power of Maine give these States special facili-
ties in manufacturing certain products which benefit
all, nor can the raising of grain on the prairies
clash with the fisherman's interests or those of
the sea-faring people of an Atlantic port. Nature
makes no such mistakes, and an examination of the
subject would invariably show that the enact-
ing interest was the handiwork of man ; there-
fore we cannot think that if the people do not
terribly blunder, any such split is to be antici-
pated in the future. There is, however, a per
contra argument, grounded on much the same idea,
far more forcible than any used to show separation pro-
bable, if not inevitable. A Continental Government
is beneficial as a mere matter of economy to every
citizen which it protects ; and it is only when it
fails to afford that protection, that he is likely to
fail in giving it his support. It is not merely
that a large and wellmanaged manufactory will
beat out of the field a crowd of smaller ones, by
which it is shown to be a gain on the point of eco-
nomy alone, for the broad question before us comes
out a gain from every aspect. If the Continent has the
sea only for its borders it has no adjoining enemy,
and it requires no small effort of the imagination in
any degree to realize the enormous advantages com-
prized in this fact. Let us, by way of a small illus-
tration, consider this island of Great Britain as it
once existed, divided, say, into the kingdom of Scot-
land, that of England, and that of Wales. What
man in his senses would assert that such a subdivi-
sion, with conflicting laws, with frou tiers s tudded with
custom-houses and forts, would be preferable or more
calculated to add to the happiness of the people than
the union now existing. Magnify this to a very
great degree, extend it far beyond the limits of
Europe, and we reach to the conception of the
American mind. It appears to us that the idea has
but to be appreciated in Canada for the colonists to
drop into it, and level the frontier line now existing.
Our firm conviction is that nature erects uo bar-
rier to a work so beneficial ; that comes from our
own devices, if at all, and the prospect of the Re-
public can, we sincerely believe, be defeated only
by a bad Government. With extended knowledge
has grown a conception of the benefits to be de-
rived from amalgamation and wide rule, only ren-
dered possible by the inventions of the day ; the
telegraph, the locomotive, the steam-engine. Here
again we get into a new world. Men say theßepublic
when it contains one hundred millions of inhabi-
tants will break to pieces of its weight.own
supposing they had (which they have not) a Evensimi-
lar
instance in history showing such a result, it
would be almost worthless in the face of circum-
stances wholly a'tercd through these inventions. An
American can now proceed from New York to San
Francisco in seven days, a shorter period than it
would have taken a citizen of London to reach a
town in the north of Scotland at the beginning of this
century. The practical effect then is to knit a Conti-
nent together closer than was formerly au island; and
if the island could hold together and thrive before
these inventions, whyshou42l not the Continent after
them ? The dan,ger of distant Provinces was the
want of rapid intelligence. Power must be given to a

Governor in the proportion that communication is
delayed or cut off, and if the difficulties are very
great the Governor practically becomes indePen.
dent. This has been the main cause of disruption'
but we maintain that the people will, as a rule, tb°
more intelligent they are, the more surely follow
that which tends to their own welfare ; and asae
single Continental rule must from every aspect h
conducive to that welfare, such a Government
eventually in America be established and nti°-
tained, provided that the people are wise and Vir-
tuous, for then the Administration must be sc)**--
