THE MANIPULATION OF STATES.
From the N. 7. World,

From the ~. Il. H0ru
1t was one of the charges against the Lin
coin administration that it created bogus
States. At that day the rascality was cloaked
up under the senseless bosh of loilty, great
heart of the nation, Father Abraham and all
the rest of the war-twaddle; but the shrewd
sense of the Democratic party detected and
denounced the real purpose of the move.
This was to lug in enough rotten-borough
Senators to overslaugh the Legitimate consti-
tuencies of the Union. Despite the Demo
cratic warming the cheat throve, and from
the day of its inception to the present time it
is interesting to trace its progress. West
Virginia, Nebraska, and Nevada being lugged
in by the ears, Tennessee and Missouri were
handcuffed into loilty and then came the
grand assault on the ten Southern States the
end whereof is not yet. So far, then, we have
no less than fifteen bogus States, three being
bogus outright and the balance genuine with
their several identities dormant under coun-
| terfeit externals. In this way the matter
| rested at the Presidential election swindle of
| last year, the manipulated States bearing a
jolly chorus to the loil song. The election
revealing that radicalism, while temporarily
| successful, needed a further instalment Of
fraud to insure its retention of power, it is
not surprising that ever since November last
there should have been constant suggestion
| of further tampering with States TO take
the instances up in geographical order, there
is first that squeak by some of the holiest of
the saints, who, dreading the inevitable po-
litical decadence of New England, limited the
| propriety of erecting a new State out of
the western counties of Massachusetts,.
Next was the proposition to. sever this
great city of New York into sepa-
rate State, to be called Manhattan; then
that Pennsylvania be cut up by the Allegheny
ridge into Pennsylvania and West Pennsyl,
vania, la the West Virginia trick; then to
sever peninsular Michigan from the main.
land, so as to have the new State Ontonagon;
then to cut up Tennesseeinto East Tennessee
and Tennessee then to divide Texas into East
Texas, Texas, Middle Texas, and Montezuma;
and now to cut off sonae western Arkansas
counties, clap them OH to the Indian territory,
and SO make another State, for which no name
yet appears. Such being the proposed mutt
lations OF States proper, there next comes
under review the undertone Of talk about
erecting some of the Territories es-notably
Colorado, Montana, Dakota, and New Mexico
Into States. Here are eleven suggestions
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1869-09-22
TElEGRA ADELPHIA WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 22 1863

ssPlease stand aside. When you had the
power alone, you did nothing. You not only
abstained from interference with the ruin OF
Poland and the aggrandizement Of Prussia
but you practically sanctioned all this oy pre-
venting our interference We are no longer
under the dictatorship you approved so much
we have a Parliament like your own; and we
aspire to play the part which you have aoan-
doned Our form of government being
changed, and presenting all the guarantees
of honest procedure, you have no right 10
mistrust us when we say we claim nothing for
ourselves and you should remember that,
being more intimately bound up with contI-
mental affairs, we have obviously q greater
right to take up your abandoned role.
What answer should be given to such an
address we shall not discuss to-day. But IL
is worth observing that the time approaches
when England will be forced either to take a q
larger and more active part in European al
fairs, or to declare out of them altogether.
