ssnts possibilities and probabilities Of the early
restoration Of the old feeling Of American ma
tionality 10 that quarter, and Of the speedy
obliteration Of the sectional animosities which
now rage there with so much fury. We do not
at all disguiss the inveteracy into which these
animosities have been nursed by . generstion
Of false teaching, or overlook the lesson taught
BY history, that political passions endure long
and are not unfrequsutiy transmitted from
father to SON. We neither fall to sec, nor un-
derrate, any Of the circumstances calculated 10
keep alive for the purposes Of mischief, the
recollections Of the present great struggle Of
arms. But We zee also, that the vast region
which We csll the South, Is substantially unoc.
oupisd, that the people who now inhabit It ar,
altogether too few to determine It's permanent
character, and that no insurmountable obstacles
exist there to the operation Of those great cur.
rents Of emigration, which, at this age Of the
world, flow now In this direction, and now 10
that, and which create before our eyes new
peoples and new civilizations In so many gu ar

If the population Of the free States gain

during the last, Its increase alone in ten year,

Delaware and Maryland. 1t b, Of colrss, 70
to be expected hat the whole, or even III
greater part Of the iDcrsses Of people in th

but 1t constitutes very large fund to draw upoI
