Were our territory as limited as are the
British tales, certainly our population
could not expand as stated. Instead of
receiving the foreign born as now, we
should be compelled to send part of the
native born away bu. such is not our
condition. We have .963 900 of square
miles. Europe has $500 900 square
miles, with population averaging 73s
persons to the square mile. Why NAV
not our country at some time average az
many? Is it less fertile Has it more
waste surface by mountains, rivers, lakes,
deserts and other causes? Is it inferior
to Europe in any natural advantage?
PROSPECTIVE GROWTH OF POPULATION.
II then we are at some time to be as
populous as Europe, how soon !? As to
wien this may be, we may Judge of the
past and present, as to when, it will ever
depend much on whether We maintain the
Union. Several Of our States are shove
the average Of European population, of
733 to the square mile. Massach usetts
has l57, Rhode Island 1873. New York
and New jersey each SO, also two other
great States, Pennsy lvauia and Ohio. are
not far below, the former having GO and
this isttcr 80. The States direct above
the European average, except New York,
have increased in as rapid ratio since
passing that point Is ever before, while no
one of them is equal to some other parts
OF our country in natural capacity for
sustaining dense population. Taking
the ratio in the aggregate We find its pop
ulation and ratio Of increase for the seve-
raj decimal periods rs follows:

This shows an average decennial in
crease OF 81. 10000 per cent. 10 popula-
ton through the seventy years from our
FIRST to our last census taken.
1t is seen that the ratio of increase at
no one Of these seven periods is either two
per cent. below or two per cent. above the
average, thus showing how inHexible
aud consequently how reliable the
that it will continue, it gives The l.,w-

fully support for Governor, yet we nave no
hesitation in saying that our first choice is
William A. Graham, of Orange. Having
served since May last with Gov. Graham as
member Of the Convention, we have had the
best opportunities Of observing his course.
We believe he has the best interests of the
country at heart, and that, since the reyolu-
ton commenced, he has exhibited as little
party feeling as any citizen in the State. In
addition to superior administrative talent,
and enlarged information of all kinds, he is
more fully posted, perhaps, in military af-
fairs than any mere civilian among US; and
in making this statement as to his knowl-
edge of military affairs, we believe we will
be sustained by every member Of the Con-
vention. The State contains no ADLER or more
patriotic man than Gov. Graham, and no one
possesses to greater extent the public re-
specti and confidence. We trust he will
consent to be candidate, and that the peo-
pie generally. disregarding party in this cri-
sis, will elect him Governor. He is the man
for the times"
II il not necessary for TO name our first choice,
as all our readers know upon whom twould naturally
has filled many important offices, and in none Of them
has he been found wanting in skill in aiihfulness
In these times Of distress and peril party preferences
should give place 10 enlarged and patriotic views
In selecting for Office choice should be guided
by the ability and prudence they have shown in the
places they have filled, and those should DO preferred
who have proved themselves 10 be statesmen capable Of
wise and energetic performance Of the high trusts
committed TO them, and whose character will give
Of uniiring diligence and faihfulness. Gov.
Graham and Gov Morehead are such. The others
named may be able men, good men, and true !; but
their craftsmanship has yet TO be put 10 the proof andin
these times Of peril mistake in the choice Of Governor
may be attended with disastrous consequence. Let a
tried man, mad in whom all The people Of the State
can have confidence, be brought forward and the
younger aspirsnis can come into place in less PerlOus
times.
