object of assault. To give her numbers there-
strength at home and power atroad-we have
only properly to cultivate the elements of power

federal Legislation, must have numbers at
home. If want numbers at home, we must
encourage 'sstay at home'' policy. We must
turn the eye of the native bonn citizen from
tancied elysians in the Vast, by making his ma
tai land valuable to him, and this we do by placing
him within easy reach ofthe markets ofthe world

promote emigration to our sunny land We must
have Southern commerce. We must have South

OF the State in regard to her internal improve
ments, and that you may have ut hand the data

have so noby done heretofore, stand by this para
