We're 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 2,963,OO square
miles. Europe has 100000 square
miles, with population averaging 734
persons to the square mile. Why may
not our country at some time average as
many? Is ii less fertile ? Has il more
waste surface by mountains, rivers, lakes,
deserts, and other causes? Is il infer
Tor 10 Europe in any natural advantage ?
Ii then we are at some time to be as
populous as Europe, how soon? As to
when this may be we may Judge of the
past and present. AS to when, it will
ever depend much on whether we main
tain the Union. Several of our States
are above the average of European popu
latonof 733 TO the square mile. Massa

cept in New York, have increased in as

The Presidents Message.

Ess' The Presidents Message, which
we publish to-day, will reward careful
perusal from our readers. No official pa,
per of modern times breathes a higher
moral sentiment or a purer patriotism.
The President is thoroughly convinced
of a fact that, it seems TO us, no unpre-
JUDGED mind now fails to appreciate, that
Slavery is deadly hostile TO the Union,
and to the government, and that the uni
ty, prosperity, and life of our country
demands Slavery's destruction. Through
this lies the best and only road to nation.
al Peace and Prosperity, and he justly
regards it as infinitely better that great
debt should be created in thus insurng
the integrity Of The Union. than that that
integrity should be assured through the
mediumship of both blood and debt
His arguments in this matter are forci
bic, andShough perhaps they may make
no impression upon the minds of the
rsbals, yet it will be to the honor and
glory of the government, in the future,
that they were made. That Slavery is
to die, and to die speedily, we believe 10
be written in the book of Fate. That the
Slave propagandists will accept this fact
before ii is too late 10 secure the benefits
of peaceful dissolution, such as Mr.
LINCOLN proposes, we can hardly believe
Whom the Gods would destroy they

American Republic or the downfall o!

first is possible thing in Gods provi

that the second is certain in the inevita
bic compensslions of justice. That
slaveholding passion will allow the fab
rio TO be gradually and peacefully level
