Thus united, the manifest destiny
is certainly TO go forward under more Z

the isthmus Of DarienN to mark our y
southern limit ?, Or,shall the expaA-oh

ward at the same time, and include
all that lies on our present northern
and ON our southern limits, as fast, ~
and only,as st, as the people Of sucl,,o,
localities can be prepared for the great
changer Americanization has be-
eoniela Science. The emigrnnta from q
iother lands soon adapts himself to our y
political. forms and institutions, but, n;
the facility with which he does so is
owing to his being os,rrrouded by a 90
population already in tho enjoyment 10
of American liberty. How far whoIeiyl
peoples in exclusive possession, of the, :,
acquired territory may be converted
bodily into iiitelligenf E Amerfcahs, has eai
been tested somewhat In the casesi of 10
New Mexico and California. In the, 4
former political affairs are managed
by the few Americans who have gone
there to- reside, while in Californiaii
the Mexican population have, been or
completely, ,,lost sight, of in the inn

cans from the other states Of the z

When the day comes, and it mayd,
Gomez the time Of majority Of those,
now living, when the one flag Of the
Republic will float in peaceful, quieS'n

then will be presented to the world :.
the grandest picture ever imagined
it will be the picture of one nation,
one people, one government, one in %
terest, one language, yielding obedi~ y
ence to, and upholding one supreme
law, and that the law of the American
Empire. Such an empire viii be the
realization of the dreams of the mosssd
enthusiastic political philosopher.--Is
The broad territorial expanse washed
by the two. oceans, covered with the
descendants of all the peoples Of the %
earth, so happily homogeneous as to-,
preserve the virtues and reject the
follies Of all other lands so united IN
purpose, so proud and jealous of their
national fame, SO powerful abroad u.
and so peaceful and prosperous nc

great bond of AmericanliuInty, theaI
the aggregate of the public will,
Before the glory and the grandeur,
and the power of such an empire, nolq
longer visionary or problematioal, but a
almost an immediate certainty, +, the.
glory of old Rome pales, and the
