II il. At the first epoch our population did nos
exceed three millions. BY the last census, It a.
mounted to about ten millions, and, what IS more
Extraordinary, it is almost altogether native for
the emigration from other countries has been in
considerable. At the first epoch, half the territory
within our acknowledged limits was uninhabted
and wilderness. Since then, new territory has
been acquired, of vast extent, comprising within it
many rivers, particularly the Mississippi the navi-
cation of which to the ocean of the highest inn
portance to the original states Over this terrific
Try our population has expanded in every direction,
and new States have been established almost equal,
lin number, to those which formed the first bond of
our Union. This expansion OF our population, and
accession Of new States to our Union have had the
Ihappest effect on all its highest interests. That
lit has eniinently augmented our resources and adj
ded to strength and responsibility, as power,
is admitted by all. But, it is not in these impor-
tant circumstances only, that this happy effect is
fet. 1t is manifest that, by enlarging the basis of
our system, and increasing the number of States
the system itself has been greatly strengthened i'll
both its branches. Consolidation and disunon
have thereby been rendered equally impracticable.
Each government confding in its own strength,
has less to apprehend from the other; and, in con-
sequence, each enjoying greater freedom of ac-
ton, is rendered efficient for all the purposes
| for which it was instituted. 1t is unnecessary to
treat, here, of the vast Improvement made in the
system ITSELF by the adoption of this constitution,
and of its happy effect in eleyatng the character,
and in protecting the rights OF the nation as we'll
as of individuals. To what then do we owe these
blessings 1t Is known to all, that we derive them
from the excellence of our institutions. Ought we
mot then to adopt every measure which may be
