before, because our territories will not
have become fnll. / do not state this
inconsiderately. At the same ratio of in
crease which we have maintained on an
average from our first national census in
1890 until 1860, we should in 1900 have a
! population of 1O3, 2O8, AIS. and why may
we not continue that ratio far beyond
that period?
| Our abundant room, cur broad national
| homestead, is an ample resource. Were
our territory as limited as are the British
isles, 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: but such is not our condition
We have 100000 of square miles. Eu
rope has 3,S09,O00 square miles, with 8
population averaging 735 persons to the
square mile. Why may not our country
at some time average as many? Is il
! less fertile Has it more waste surface
by mountains, rivers, lakes, deserts, and
other causes? Is it inferior to Europe
in any natural advantages
PROSPECTIVE GROWTH OF POPULATION.
If then we are at some time to be as
populous as Europe, now soon As tC
when this may be, we may judge of the
past and present. AS to when ii will be
if ever, will depend much on whether we
maintain the Union. Several of oul
States are above the average of European
population, of 735 to the square mile
Massachusetts, has l57, Rhode Island 1873
New York and New Jersey each So; alst
two other great States, PENNSYLVANIA an(
Ohio, are not far below, the former having
63 and the latter SO. The States alread,
above the European average, except New
York, have increased in as rapid ratio
since passing that point as ever before
while no one of them is equal to SOM
other parts of our country in natural ca
pacity for sustaining a dense population
Taking the ratio in the aggregate, we fine
its population and ratio of increase for tht
several decimal periods as follows:
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1862-12-13

This shows an average decennial in
crease of 34.6O-100 per CEN. in 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 infexi-
bic and consequently how reliable the law
Of increase in our case is. Assuming
that it will continue, it gives the following

many tree Americans OF African descent,
to favor their emigration with view to
such colonization as was contemplated III
recent acts of Congress-. Other parties at
home and abroad, some from interested
motives, others upon patriotic principles,
and still others influenced by phlian-
thropic sentiments have suggested similar
measures; while on the other hand seve-
raj of the Spanish American Republics
have protested against the sending OF such
colonies to their respective territories.
Under these circumstances | have de-
clined to move any such colony to any
State without first obtaining the consent OF
Is Government, with al agreement on It's
part to receive and protect such emigrants
in all their rights as freemen; and have
at the same time offered to the several
States situated in the tropics, or having
colonies there, to negotiate with them,
subject to the advice and consent OF the
Senate, to favor the voluntary emigration
of portions of that class to their respective
territories, upon conditions which shall be
equal, just and humane.
Liberia and Hayti are yet the only coun'
tries to which colonists of African descent
from here could go with certainty OF being
received and adopted as citizens, and re-
greet to say that such persons contemplate
ing colonization do not seem SO willing to
emiprate to these countries as to some
others, nor so willing as, think, their in
terest demands. l believe, however, that
the opinion is improving, and that ere
long there will be an augmented and con-
siderable emigration to both these coun-
tries from the Uuited States.

The new commercial treaty between
the United States and the Sultan of Tur-
KEY has been carried into execution: A
commercial and consular treaty has been
negotiated, subject to the Senate's consent,

now pending with the Republic of Hayti.

Vicksburg last evening at o'clock bringing dis
patches, papers and mail from Farragut, Por

dispatches we're given by the Captain of the

Vicksburg had been nearly completed The

Rebel batteries still replied occasionally. Far
