lnopen combat. j say this in the same
confidence of conviction as one who, seeing
the sun set forth from the portals of the
East, may speak Of its onwards course to
the West. For time was when the United
States were but weak little colonies of Eng
land, scattered along the seashore. Then
they overflowed the Alleghauies iato the
valley of the Mississippi. Next they alb
sorbed the vast domain of France from
Lake Superior all around 10 the Gulf of
Mexico, and Westward to Oregon. Next
they possessed themselves of the two Flori-
das, and then of Texas. Aud finally they
have marched on through New Mexico III
to remote California. But in our conquest

our dauntless hearts to back them, it hap
pens that men, nations, races, may must,
will, perish before lis. That is inevitable.

OF self government, are suffering one pro

pared to receive the people and the laws OF
