The Universal Yankee Nat.ou.

A writer in the London Times shows the prospect
i've greatness and increase of the United States.
No European politician can look forward to the
power of the United States within the present century,
but with the most appalling prospects.

Fftyseven years is long period in the life of man,
but very little in the life of nations. As has been
already stated great individual misery occurs in this
ill-regulaed, haphazard system of emigration. The
immigrant is feeced under the profession of advice
and assistance. To the State it makes no difference
it is much money imported, if in the hands of the
eecers, much if it had remained with the leec-
ed and let 1t be remembered that this of in
arises from the residue of those who reach the
far west-it counts none of the dead in the way
none, who, as soon landed on the quays at New
York, beg the means of returning, which 10 1912
amounted to 10000 from that port only The limited
knowledge and experience of the bulk of mankind
may lead them to conclude that there is no room for
such immense population. Read what wise man
has written, before forming such opinion, speaking
of the Mississippi basin only -
This vast extent of very fertile territory in which
rivers navigable for 5000 miles upward from the
hold their course, extends from the lakes of Canada
the north to the Gulf Of Mexico on the SOUTH and
from the highlands of the Allegheny and Cumberland
Ranges On the east, to the Rocky Mountains, far 10
the Westward.
1.-THE greatest labor of Hercules, the noblest deeds
recorded Of man in ancient or modern history, sink to
nought when compared with the doings of Brother
Jonathan.

the highest summit of the Allegheny range and gag.

clearances scattered nearly million of square
miles True 10 his purpose, Jonathan is progressing
in ratio of increase before equalled, and
the course of century, at the present increment, this
great and most fertile field for the extension of the
human will contain progeny exceeding the
whole of the population of Europe" - Matihelc'.

1t remains to say something of the Canadas and
the North American British colonies. The wisdom
Of Durham-a Sydenham-a Bsgot and Metcalfe
have DELAYED the Separation of the former from the
mother country STILL let it be forgotten that
wise man any one of them, and who personally
knows these countries-Lord Ashburton when bearing
the proud name of Alexander Barring, when member o.
the Commons,-proposed offering TO the Canadas theil
independence, declaring it better to do SO without
useless expenditure of blood and treasure and that il
had better be done previous to such circumstances
occurring than afterwards, that his forehought was
correct there is no doubt Lord St. Vincent also q
great authority to his dying hour adverse TO re-
tanning them. See his opinions, as stated by Lore
Brougham in his public character, D. Al, Edinburgl
Reriep, April, 1885, Vol. SO; also Brenton's Life o.
Lord 81. Vincent. The Canadas once independent
and other colonies would adopt the example ant
not long after would join the Federal Government
the United States.
