The Power Welded by New England.

The total population Of New England by the
present census is S,4s2O Ol, against S,l35, 283
in 1860. This small population, as compared
with that Of the country at large, is altogether
out of proportion to the influence welded by
New England in the Government. The New
England States nave in the Senate o.! the Uni
ted States an equal representation with The
same number of States that have duadruple
the population. Again, New England has for
years cajoled the government into giving her
protective tariffs and fishing bounties that have
enriched her people at the expense of the peo-
pie Of The country at large. These three aud
half millions of people have managed by hook
o! 81 crook to run the govern ment in their
interest, and to infest the whole country with
Their selfish aud radical political views. There
arc cheering indications Of a reform in this par
ticuar, and before many years pass by we shall
probably see the ambitious, arrogant and self
seeking New Gnsland States reduced to their
proper political level.-Ricamoad Wing.
