the strong man without air and without room ana determined to have them or to die gallantlv III the struggle for them It tis the irrepressible expansion of over-Compressed human eoergies It Is the exodus of the nations. It is the out pouring of the too full blood of the old world lhto all the capaclous veins of the new world. IL Is the ioundatOn in America of republican empires to outcount lu numbers and outyie in strength the parent states of Europe. | SAY '"aV IS the Work appointed Of God for us to do. ana, with the blessing of God upon us, that "ofN we Will do. If rivers run across our path, VIZ VIII bridge them; if mountains rise up to sup uS, we Wlli tunnel them; if deserts appear we VIII reclaim and cultivate them; if oceans i''Ii 'ene' we Wiii navigate them, to which last e"u' so long as there's an oak left on earth. gal lahI ShpS shall continue to be lanched into the waters oi this our Merrimac No material ooS'ace can arrest our progress. We Woo this fdr nature which lies Before ns and ya voo if as It's c"nquerer, like ihe vick;uys of inc old tune winning their brides of the sea in ouen c"moat. say this in the same confidence o, cohVlction as one Whu seeing the sun Set forth rom the portals of the east, may speak of it's onward course to the west. For tune was when the Onited States were but weak little colonies ol EnSlahd, scattered along the seashore Then 'nGy oFer1oWed the Alleghauies into the '"''eS oi the Mississippi.

There can be no chanoe for the better save at the expense of that which ls-one generation gives place to another. Out of decay springs fresh life. The tribes of h. dlans who hunted over the land, without occu- pylng It, retire before us like the hunted deer and buffalo themselves-deeper and deeper in- to the innermost recesses of the coutinent- And the iilSlnno Mexcans, wasting away by Pparentlncapacty of self-government, are suf- lcrlnJ one province after another of theirs to re'alse into pristine desola lation and thus to be- come pfeParet to receive the people and the laws oi the United States All that is now history lct, wise men saw long before that so It Was t" be. From the present they inferred ihe IHture, and spoke of 1t with the po+itveness ana precision ot inspired prophecy.
