made No other nation has achieved so much in
the same period We have peaceably annexed
one empire, settled the boundaries of another and
conquered third. Our commerce, which four
teen years ago was found in three grand diyI-
sions-that Of the western rivers, the northwestern
lakes, and the Atlantic ccast-has crossed the
lsIhmus, and now covers the shores Of the western
ocean. To our two maritime fronts, the Atlantic
and the gulf we have added the PaeIhc And
there, from a coast of sixteen hundred miles IN
extent we look out upon The primeyal habitatons
of our race--the seats Of ancient empire--and the
most inviting field ever opened TO the moral or
physical energies of man. Nor is the dominion
thus gained a barren sceptre. On the contrary,
the precious metals found in abundance liz Cali
fornia have placed in the hands Of this Republic
monetary power which, ere long, will transfer
commercial ascendency ss-om Europe TO America
and will adjust in great commercial emporium
the balance sheet of the world. And can such
nation be longer held in the swaddling bands of
its infancy the leading-strings of its childhoodi
No, sir The enterprise Of our country, always
bold and restless is already, by the liberal aids Of
an improved science and the vast accessions of
capital, driven onward almost with maddenng
speed. Nothing can arrest the progress of indi-
vidua effort in all the avenues of commerce. You
may excite the apprehensions Of the timid, the
doubts Of the wavering or the opposition of the
enemies of progress, but all will be in vain The
mighty current of events, as they are ordained
will, in spite Of our resistance bear us onward
and still onward TO our destiny. II is, then, the
part of wisdom, OF exalted patriotism to grasp
the helm Of the ship Of state, and with a sIrong
and bold hand, guide il its course by the chart
of the Constitution.

improvements, but arc always made TO depend
upon the locality Immediately interested IN their
support The distinction between harbors on the
lakes and harbors on the rivers is well defined.
The one is a haven of refuge from the fury Of the
elements, over which man has no controls the
other is convenient landing place, where freights
are received and discharged. The one iseminenuy
national the other is purely local, and should
never be admitted into any bill OF appropriations
made under the sanction of the Constitution.
The destruction of property and life on our
northern lakes il appalling; and yet, strange as it
may appear, but little is known OF the immense
losses that yearly occur
one of the most valuable public documents that
has ever been published IN relation TO the steam
marine of the United States has been reported
during the present session by the Secretary Of the
Treasury, Ia compliance with resolution of the
Senate. The most startling facts of the loss of
property and life during the short space of four
years will be found in one of its tables, TO which
beg leave to direct the attention of the House and
of The whole country. Here It Is:

Mr.. Ramsey was highly recommended to me
by Dr. Junkin, President of Washington College,
The following is an extract from letter from
Dr. McEiroy, of New York dated August 10th,
1852:
81 have been intimately acquainted with the Rev.
Mr.. Ramsey for many years, and have regarded
him with affection and respect. He is brother
Of much more than ordinary powers Of mind, has
been severe STUDENT is a ripe Scholar, amiable
in disposition and of great purity Of character and
in my judgment, one of the very best preachers in
our Church, and while deeply regret that the
state of bis health obliges him to lay aside for a
time at least the exercise of the ministerial office,
am happy in believing that he may still be emf
nenty useful by devoing his talents t. the instruc-
ton Of Youth Of his qualifications for this work
have no doubt-indeed, of this he gave ample
evidence during the time he was at the head of
the Spencer Academy" 80.

pressed by DR.. McElroy."
