cross the oceans bed from the coast of ireland TO
that OF British America, and one inevitable resul.
OF this must be an unexampled community of feel

internal development and amelioration rather
than by external aggression and extension-aI
who would rather have the National resources de-
voted to the construction of Railroad to tba pa

on works of benefcence which will endure to bIess
