"Augustus, the successor of Julius
Caesar, fearing that the continued extern
sion of dominion, which had subverted
the republic, might have similar effect
upon the imperial government, recon-
amended that The territory Of Rome should
not be enlarged" In one OF the numbers
of the Federalist, James Madison discuss
ed the difference between a democracy
and a republic; the one from its nature
must necessarily be confined within rea-
sonable territorial limits, while the other,
consisting, as it We're, of confederation
of democraeies, may safely be extended al
most indefinitely. Mr.. Webster and his
friends may have taken chapter from Au'
gustus, for the great constitutional eS-
FOUNDER has presented an issue very SIM
liar to the recommendation of the Emper-
or. "No more territory, north. south, east
or west-and no more States" is the Is
sue presented by Mr.. Webster. 1t IS
scarcely necessary toassure the advocates
of such doctrine, that great party In this
country will accept the issue thus pre-
scented, and in the next Presidential con-
test it may form the most important ele-
ment. The so called tissues" heretofore
existing have been put Out q lie way,
some as 'obsolete IDEAS" others as pa'
