months past when have heard or read the Presses OF
this metropolis talking of rural districts of distant
Townships and of States, OF provinces OF New

in New-York echoing to the sound ana alarms
of sedition and insurrection and disunon of dis
tant rural districts. For TO me, nothing 10 more
lain than that this is a country in which there
are no provinces, least OF all any provinces

spirit then, of such pride in the city In hich we
stand, as patriot may feel, shall hope that can
speak of the political questions of the canvass, IN
their relation to the metropolis OF the country.
In the beginning Of our history New ork-the City
OF New. Yorkwas unconscious of its then future
destiny the country was ignorant itself OF this des
