Questions as to terms OF Intercourse are sgaiI

But there is another difficulty The greet
| interior region bounded east by the Allegha>
| MES, north by the L itish pOminiOns, west by
| the Rocky mountains, snd eouth by the line
| along which he cultivation of corn and cotton
meets and which Includes part OF Virginia part
IT Tennessee, all OF Kentucky Ohio, Michigan,
Wisconsin,, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas. Iowa,
Minnesota, and the territories of Dacota, Ne
oraSka and part Of Colorado have above lei
millions of pe0p.c, aud will have fifty millions
within fifty years if not prevented by any
political folly or mistake. 1t contains more
than one third of the country owned by the re-
revolted States--certaniy, more than one mil
hon of surface miles, One-halt populous as
Massachusetts, ali eady is. 1t would have more
than seventy-fve millions ofpeople A glance
at the map show that tcrritorialiy speaking il
is abe greau body OF the RepubL.c The other
parts are but marginal borders TO it. The mag
nihcent region sloping west from the Rocky
and also the richest undeveloped resources in
he production of provisions, grains, grasses,
and al, which proceeds from them.
This great interior region Is naturally one OF
the most imp rtant in the world, ascertain from
he statistics the small proportion of the region
winch has yea been brought into cultivation
aad also the large and rapidly increasing
amount OF lis products. and we shall be over
whe!med with the magnitude of the prospect
presented And yet this region has no sea coast
and touches no ocean anywhere.
AS part of one nation, its people now may
find and may forever find their way to Europe
by New York, 10 South America and Africa
by New Orleans, and to A sia by San Francis
co But separate our common country into ma
tons, as designed bV the present rebellion, and
every man Iii his great inl erior region is there
by cut oil from some one or more of these outs
let's. not perhaps bp physical harrier, but by
enbrassing aud Unerous ade regulations, ana
his is whatever dividing or boundary
line may be fixed. Place it between the now
free and slave country, or place it south OF
Kentucky, or north If Ohio, and still the truth
remains that none south of it can trade 70 any
port or place north of it, and none north If il
can trade TO any port or place south of it, ex-
cept upon terms dictated by Government tor-
cign to them These outlets East, West, and
South, are indispensable TO the wel-being Of
the people inhabitIng, and to inhabit this vast
interior region.
When of the three may be the best is nc
proper question. All are better than other
aud all of nigh belonging 10 that people aid
their successors forever True to themselves
they viii moi ask where a line of Desperation sial
be. but will vow rather, that there shall be nc
such line.
Nor are the marginal regions less interested
/
to the great outside word They do aud each
! one OF hem must have access TO he'll Egyp1 o.
| tn, West without plying toh at the crossing
! Of our national boundary.
Oar nariona: lie springs not iromgou: per-
manent past, nos from the lands we inhablt,
nol from our national homestead. There is nc
possible sweIvlns OF this Dnt would multiply
aud moi iltate evils,among US In all III
applica ions and attitudes it demands UNION
and abhors separation. In fact Ii would ert

With this vi " | RECOMMEND the following
resolution and articles amendatory to the Con

sentanves Of the United States of America il

rebellion would never have existed witho,
: avery it could not continue. Among II
friends OF the Union there is great diversity
sentiment ard policy III regard to slavery an
he African race amongst us Some woui
abolish 1t suddenly and without compensation
and some would abolish it gradually and wit
compensation. Some would remove the FIRE
people from Us, and some would retain the,
