This immense expansion In geographical
area, together with the prodiglons growth in
energy. population and power which accom-
tic relations of the heretofore harmonious
family of the American people. Disorderand
violence have always marked the eras when,
with growing empire, the scheme Of goy-
eminent ccasing to harmoplzo with the ene1-
getic temper Of the people, has become an.
progress. Revolutions, modest In their orig
In, begin BY resistance to oppression gather
Ing strength, they reveal and purge out the
causes Of oppression. The legislation
Of the Federal Government has had
for ti1ty yearB from Its origin proclivity to
the sea, and to restrict this encouragement to
the shores Of the Atlantic Ocean. The pro-
life growth Of the population ant energies Of
the interior has outgroWn the limited demands
ofthat ocean and Its population; the reetric-
ton Of sufficient outflow to the other flank
gTess, and has all the consequences Of an op-
pressiTe monopoly. The statistics Of ocean
commerce, its growth being the special IA
vorite Of the Federal Government and policy.
have been pompered by nj forms Of partial
legislation The statistics and growth Of
comm eEce, navigation and transportation In
the Interior Of the continent hare been the
object Of neglect and depression. Yet In

relations, so expressed In dollars, to be five

1t is manifest that immense notifications
Of the Federal power have become impera-
tively necessary to correct this departure be-

adjust the equilibrium. One profound canse

country, Ii here discernible. Il we suppose
ourselves to have reached the coming centen-
NAL anniversary Of july 4, 1876, and take a
Retrospective glance, the magnitude of the
notifications necessary to our continued har-
monious union viii display themselves at a
glance. Geographical changes in the locality
and administration Of the Federal power, al
great as those which transferred 1t from Lon
don to Philadelphia and Washington, reveal
Themselves, and the necessity Of such modtfi-
cations dictates itself with mathematical eK-
actness. As fact Of pre-eminent sisnifi-
cauce, occura the accession to the St1tc Of
the Mfsstse1ppi basin Of Western Virgins,
and the addition Of two Federal Senators to
this geographical division Of our country.
This unchalns the political spell of hide
bound routine and repression to add new
forces to the area and energies Of progress.
