Thousands Of people, who begin to undorstand
thssetruihs are not yet completely out Of the
shell they do not see them in their length and
breadth. We hear much of the civilization and
Characterization Of the barbarOus tribes Of Africa.
10 my judgment, those ends viii never be attain
cd, but by first teaching them the leSson taught to
Adam, that "in the sweat OF thy brow shal; thou
cot bread" ldRPlGase,l aud teaching them to work
ard iced and clothe themselves. But to pass on,
-some have propounded the enquiry, whether it
ls practicable for .us to go on With the Confederacy,
without further accessions. Have we the means
aud ability to maintain nationality among the
powers OF the Garth ? On this point would bare
y say, that as anxiously as we all have been and
are Tor the Border States with institutions similar
Win ours, TO JOIN Us, still we are abundantly able
70 maintain our position, even il they should plti-
mateiy make US their minds, not to cast their des-
nny with ours. That they ultimately will join

but We can get on very ellwithOut them, even i

We have all the essential elements OF a high
national career. The idea has been given bat o,
The north, and even in the Border States, that we
are too small and too weak TO maintain a sseparate
nationality, This is a great mistake. In eAtent
a Of territory we embrace $4,000 square miles ami
IS upwards. This is upwards of 100000 square
at miles more than was included witbin the limits OF
III The original thirteen States. il is an area of coun-
be ny more than double the territory os France or
by the Austrian empire. France in round numbers
ne has but 2l2, 900 square miles. Austria in round
re Numbers has248,0 900 square miles. Ours is greater
"a than both combined. Iii greater than all France
in Spain, Portugal and Great Britain, includinI
as England. Ireland and Scotland, together. In pog
ut ulation we have upwards of Eve millions, accord

black. The entire population, including viii

is What is to be the result of this revolution ? l
Will everything, commenced. SO well, continue
ey as it has begun? In reply to this anxious inquiry.
a. [ can only say it all depends upon. ourselves. A
Young man starting out in life on. his majority,

Providence, may be said to be the architect of his
If own fortunes. His destinies are in his own hands.
Q lie may rake for himself q name OF honor or dis
honor, according to his own acts. IL he plants
G himself upon truth, integrity, honor, and upright.
e ness, with Industry. patience. and energy, he can
0 not fail of success. So ID is with us; We are a
young Republic just entering upon the arena OF
pations; we will be the architect of our own for
tunes Our destiny, under Providence, 40 10 our
own banda. With wisdbm, prudence. and stales-

Q teliigence, virtue. and patriotism on the part Of the
