Mr.. Darby further states. in the conclusion
Of his letter, that
The zone Of North AmSJica, between
north latitudes 80 and so degrees, exclusive
of water surface, rather exceeds than falls
short of three millions of square miles, and
does not, to any great extent vary from an
equality to all Europe. OF this expaRse, the
United States territory already ambraces up
wards Of two millions FIVE hundred thousand
square miles, and consequently, when the
population rises to ono hundred millions, the
mean density would then be under 50 to tho
square mile--a density far below that of
several Of the existing states at the present
time. When we have thus means to decide
the future, why not provide for its foressen

The democrats have a majority in both

GROWTH or THE UNITED STATES

William Darby, Of Georgetown, D.. c.,
has published a letter in the Washington
Union, in reply to so'Ae inquiries made by a
U. s. Senator, in which he remarks, ameng
other things, that the population of the
United States has increased annually, since
1890, at tho rate Of 8 per cent. The fol-
lowing results, says Mr.. D., demonstrate the
existence Of this great law with mathematical
nraciaiOu. -r. 80

The Presidents Tour.

We extract from the Baltimore Sun" a particular &C.
count of the cordial reception which Mr.. Polk has re-
ceived in the Monumental city We pass over all these
particulars, which lay in another column before our
readers and confne ourselves to the following memoir
able declaration which he made in his reply to the mayor
of Baltimore
Had postponed Gny visD beyond the present summer,
is not probable that any other convenient opportunity
make it would have occurred during the period OF my
Of official SERVICE the close of which shall to pri-
vate life Andl hope, sir retire. leaving the admnsa-
ton Of my country in the hands of worthy successor and
that country which has honored much com
nit to that successor prosperous and happy"
This declaration became the President on first setting
out upon his tour Some illiberal critic acous par
tisan might have charged him with commencing his tour
for the purpose of electoneerng for second term He
forward, of his accord, to strip his visit of all
political objects and all personal aspirations
He declares his intenton 10 rere to private fe at the
end OF his present term of Office. We have long known
indeed frequently announced-such resolution. We
announced it in the first prospectus of paper, with
his concurrence, and under his authority And, indeed,
not surprised that experience should have only
confirmed his purpose We hold the presidency, in the
hands OF conscientious man, to be the least enviable
post in the world and that honors compensate for
its cares and responsibilities.

The Marine Corps.

Perhaps there is not more effective body of men,
either physically, from their exact discipline and mill
ary instruction, engaged the service OF the United
States, than what is generally known the &c marine
corps This corps, which, from its recent accession of
numbers, is entitled TO the organization OF brigade,
is usually employed to do soldiers duty on board of our
ships OF war;, and at the navy yards but, by recent
order of the department. has been far embodied as to
form suitable command for general officer, and order
ed to shore service in Mexico That portion OF the corps,
had been detailed for duty board OF our ships IN the
gulf active and most efficient participants the
land operations connected with the late siege OF Vera
Cruz and on that occasion were embodied with the ID
regiment United States artillery, and shared with that
regiment all the active duties and atigues OF the siege

general orders, formed portion of the command of Gen.
Worthone of the columns selected by the commander

works of the city, had the defence rendered resort to
such necessary and it is not assuming too
much say that had matters been pushed to this
tremty the gallant little band of marines, doing duty
with of the best instructed regiments in any
other service, would not have been whit behind their
brave associates, either in amounting the deadly BREACH
in holding when mounted
In connexon with this association OF the marines with
the army must be gratifying to Captain Edison, and to
the officers and men constituting his command, well as
to the corps and its friends in general to published
