says the Winchester Times To effect full
realization Of our hopes We must adopt wise
and liberal policy, both with respect to i'm
migration and with respect to those new and
useful enterprises by which our great natural
advantages may be made available. It is yn-

but we predict that our yer able friendsMill
learn to sleep all the better under the lullaby
Of development and progressive Improvement

immigration, and give our aid to the promo
ton Of useful enterprise. sTei y. l7ew46iIde

Of the earth. This picture Of the future is no
opium dreaming, but it is what must come to
