"rnE GREAT BODY ogTaE REPUBLIC"
But there IS another difficulty. The
great interior region bounded east by tho
Allehganies, north BY theBrilishD ominons,
west by she Rocky Mountains, and south
by the line along which the cultivation of
corn and cotton meets, and Which includes
part Of Virginia, part Of Tennessee, all Of
Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin,, IL

the territories Of Dacoiah, Nebraska and
part OF Colorado have about ten millions
Of people anu will have fifty millions within
fifty years if not prevented by any political
folly or ihsitake. 1t contains more than
one third Of the country owned by the re-
VOTED States--c rtainly, more than one
million OF surface miles, one-half as popu-
loua as Massachusetts already is. Ii would

A GREAT INTERIOR REGION.
This great interior region is naturally
one Of the most important ia the world, as.
certain from the statistics the small proper
ton Of the region which has vet been
brought into cultivation, and also Che large
and rapidly increasing amount Of its pro-
ducts, apd we shall he overwhelmed with
the magnitude OF the prospect presented
And yet this region has no sea cost and
touches no ocean any where.
ITS NATURAL OUTLETS.
AS part Of one nation, its people now
may ind and forever find their way to Eu-
rope by N. IL, to South America and Az
rica BY New Orleans, and to Asia by San
Francisco. But separate our common
country into notions, as designed by the
present rebeli ~, and every man in this
great interior region is thereby cut off from
some ono or more Of these outlets, not per-
baps by physical barrier but by embar-
RAISING and onerous trade regulations, and
this is true whenever a dividing or bound
airy line may be fixed Place it between
the now free and slave country, or place it
south Of kentucky, or north of Chic, and
still the truth remain that none south OF it
can trade to any port Of place north Of 1t,
and none north Of K can trade to any port
or place south Of it, except upon terms die.

Which Of the three may be the best il,
no proper question. All are better than
either, aud III Of right belong to that people
and their SUCCESSORS forever. Irne to them
selves, they viii not ask where bins of
separation shah be, but will VOW ather
that there shall be no snch line.
coMoN INTEREST.
Nor are the marginal regions less inter
ested in these communications to and
through them 70 the great outside world.
They DO and each one of them must have
access to their Egypt OF the West without
paying tell at the crossing Of our national

SOURCES OF OUR NATIONAL ExTsrAYc2
Our national life springs net from our per-
manent past, aot floin the lands We inhab-

is no possible swerviag Of this but would
