Inc future populationof this vast region,
dwelling as they will, on the higheSt table
land IN the United States can easily descend
me water courses, either Northwardly
down Red River, to Hudson's Bay or
so1'hwardly down the Mississippi to N.
orleans eastwardly down our Northern
Lakes to Quebec. Nature has opened
these roads to and from this region, and
man Is now using them. During the next
hundred years, Ohio as a state, will take
the lead in wealth and business, and in the
number OF her people, compared with any
state west oftlie Alleghanies but eventu-
ally Missouri, and any one of the states
yet to be formed on the Upper Mississippi
may Surpass US in numbers, wealth and
political power. Should not one of the
states 1 have referred 10 eventually be-
come the most powerful, then Ohio must
% at the very head Of our conlcderacy
forever.
Should our people never settle the coun-
Iy west.of the Rocky Mountains, (though
feel assured of u row OF States, OH the
Pacific equailing our Atlantic ones, with
IN a century to comc) yet there will be at
no distant day, tier of States, north,
north west, and west Of Illinois, Missouri,
and Arkansas, which will eventually be-
come populous, wealthy and powerful
States.
To all human appearances the census of
lS4O, will place the national government
IN the hands of the people in the valley Of
the Mississippi. To resist this event,
would involve the necessity of preventing
the revolution of the earth around the sun
and upon its axis, and tho whole course of
nature. To mourn over 1t, involves the
extreme folly Of repining at the happy lot
Of the majority of the nation---and OF our
posterity forever. From the growth of
this nation, the lover Of liberty has notll-
ing to fear, because our people from their
cradles are taught to be republicans. They
are such as if by instincr, and those prin-
ciples which tend to make them MEN, are
taught them from the first moment they
SEQ the light, breathe the American air
and taste their mothers milk. '
