The Middlebury register. [volume] (Middlebury, Vt.) 1850-1882, 1858-12-22


Whether we have already sufficient ter
ritory to consist with safety and national
welfare may be question, but is not now
a question Of practical import. 1t may
safely be assumed that our boundaries are
yet to be enlarged and the process by
which this enlargement is effected will en-
ter largely into the questions which will
affect our future, national polity. The
tendency of our population is, as history
abundantly proves, to occupy all access
able and desirable lands, and there is
reason TO believe that the expansion of
our population will be even more rapid in
the future than in the past. Nor does it
need prophetic foresight to determine that
questions will thereby arise of the first
Importance to us as a nation. There are
those who assume that true policy dictates
that the government, in advance of emil
grafton should prepare the way, and by
expanding our territory encourage the
diffusion Of our population That such is
the spirit of the present administration adj
mits of nc doubt
there is another line of policy which is
at the same more honorable and more con-
sistant with national prosperity admit
foreign territory only as fast as it has be.
come thoroughly Americanized. and ur-
gently demands admission. There is little
to fear from additions to the confederacv
by means like this, while absorption of
territory with an unwilling population is
at best an untried and dangerous expert
ment.
The decaying condition of the States to
the South of us, and the growing passion
for territorial acquisition is Fastening in
to position Of interest and Importance
this to us as a nation important subject.
The merltS'of the question cannot be too
carefully weighed by every citizen.
