kansas. and on the banks of these rivers there

every negro in Tennessee. Arkansas, Missis-
sippi, Kentucky and Missouri leaving all the
balance of the territory to white men. The
American genius will spread all over this land.
will climb the hills of the West and roam on
the shores OF the Pacific, and the time will
come when your Yankees. and Germans and
Irish. will settle all over that beautiful land of
ours; when churches and colleges shall spring
up where the wild Indians war whoop was
heard i'll the stiffness of the solitude. and
church spire will CLEAN to church spire and
The time VIII come when Oh some bright Sab
bath morning, bells will answer to bells
from ocean to ocean, in one great diapason
rising upward to the skies. Cheers
