"A Magnificent Future Prophesicd Tor the
South and the Republic.
For the South and this Whole country,
the New York Herald sees grand future
A magnificent panorama unfolds itself
before the kindling gaze of the writer.
Soon will order be re-established and
property made secure in these late ''re-
bel" States. The enormous plantations
will give way to numerous farms, in
creasing the number of landholders, and
more effectually developing the wealth
of the soil. Northern capital will flow
South; manufactures will spring up on
every side; golden era will dawn upon
this section. But, itargues, labor, moro
than capital, is needed, and to China the
Herald looks for the supply needed. 1t
regards the Chinaman admirably adapted
to the South, and with the. most hopeful
expectations does it indulge the prospect
of the celestials covering the Pacific
slopes and filing up the Mississippi
valley. And passing on, the Herald
points to the great future of this country.
It says:
''It is impossible in considering this
subject not to be struck with the many
present signs indicative of the great fu-
ture of this country. The enterprise of
our people is such that we cannot wait
until our native population covers and
utilizes our vast territory. Our fields
must be ploughed, our mines worked,
our factories run, if we should bring la
borers from all lands. Europe pours
her surplus population in upon us by
increasing thousands every year. There
is room aud work and plenty for them
all. and to spare. The emigration fever
which has SO long ragged in the nations
of Northwestern Europe has spread its
contagion to Asia. China and Japan
have both caught it, and it is not unrea-
sonable to conclude that within the next
decade we shall count among our popu-
lation many millions of Asiatics. Under
the hand of industry the South will again
become fruitful garden, and free labor
will do what slavery never could accom-
plish. The Pacific slope will present in
reality, and on q gigantic scale, the
plentifulness and the luxurious beauty of
the tabled gardens of the East. Our
great Western wildernesses will be re-
claimed, and where are now the mighty
forest and the far-spreading prairie, the
home Of the Indian and the buffalo,
there will be seen not only the fruitful
field and the happy home, but the peace
full village, aud it may be also the great
and wicked city. Our multiplied and
multiplying railroad and telegraphic
lines will bind up the mighty whole and
give it cohesion and force. Among the
nations Of the earth we shall have no
rival. The great empires of the past.
the mighticst the world has known, will
sink into insignifcance in comparison
with the great republic of the West.
Our influence on the outside world will
be tremendous. Our word will be law
1 am an American citizen will be
boast which has had nothing to compare
with it since Rome was in the zenith Of
her glory Our chances, indeed, are SO
great that it is scarcely possible for us to
abuse them. It is we'll for us, however,
to bear in mind that nations, like indi-
yidunls, may sin, and that if we DO sin,
retrlbution sooner or later will follow"
Our readers will judge for themselves
how far these anticipations can be count
ed upon for realization. We place these
views before our friends because it is re-
freshing to indulge in expectations that
are hopeful, lively and sangrilc. #
others have faith in our future, let us
not ourselves be wanting in that great
element of success. Enthusiasm, faith.
energy-these are the triple forces that
will work wonders for us.
