America has been saved, and the freedom
of all races secured by arms. The aggregate
debt Of the State amounts 10 $23. I22, ,S72.
In referring to the Western trade, he saws
there can be no doubt that new means for
transportation between the east and west
are absolutely needed. Our lines ofprosperi-
ty are the parallels Of latitude which con-
meet US with the young and rich empire of
the mine and stock produce lying around
the lakes and still beyond. The people of
Massachusetts connect manufacturing and
commerce and must have more thoroughfare
through which the currents Of trade and
life may pass unobstructed between the
Atlantic and the national granaries, OF rust
will touch alike her Wharves and her work
shops. Let US avoid the day in which our
Commonwealth shall become chiefly a
school house and homestead, over which
time shall leave silently and too soon the
marks Of dilapidation. Any policy WHICH is
not broad enough to secure to US a New
England. having proper share in the bene
fits of this new opening era, be assured,will
not receive the approval of the next genera
ton. --
