the West Indies generally, show
that our republican empire
must become continental. Our
public men who cannot see this
are behind the times. Manifest
destiny is not a mere sentiment,
but a fact. And who will be
injured by this wonderful
growth and expansion of the
United States ? The English,
who are most jealous of us, will
be largely benefited, for by our
enterprise and the development
of the countries we annex their
trade is increased. Indeed, the
same may be said with regard
to all the commercial nations
Of Europe. The progress and
expansion Of the United States
are a great blessing to mankind
and increase vastly the COM
MERGE of the world. Instead of
being envious or jealous of us
the British and all other ma
tons should hail with pleasure
our astonishing growth. They
ought to be glad to see anneXa-
ton by a people who make the
wilderness blossom as the rose
wherever they go, and who add
thereby to the commerce and
wealth of the world. But, what
ever may be thought of ou1
progress abroad, American
statesmen ought to comprehend
the future before us and seize
every opportunity for promot.

Sowing.

Are we sowing the seeds of kindness
They shall blossom bright ere long,
Are we sowing seeds OF discOrd
They shall ripen into wrong.
Are we sowing seeds ofhonor?
They shall bring forth golden grain;
Are we sowing the seeds Of falsehood
We shall vet reap bitter pain.
Whatso'er our sowing be,
Reaping, we its fruits must see
We can never be too careful
What the seed our hands shall sow
Love from love is sure to ripen,
Hate from Hate is sure to grow
Seeds of good or i'll We scatter
,Heedlessly along our way;
But bad and grievous frmtage
Waits us at the harvest day.
Whatso'er our sowing be,
Reaping, we its fruits must see.

Annexation Policy Of the
United States.

has been commenting, it ap-
pears, on the policy of annexa-
ton by the United States, and,
in it's usual patronizing way,
moralizes on the subject from a
British point of view. 1t as
sumes that we have adopted
this as a defnitive policy and
adds that England, though in
different, is astounded at the
case of Dominica, which is
merely adding othernegro COM
munities to those so difficult to
manage now. 1t is amusing to
see how England, which swal-
lows everything that it can
grab in the way of territory in
any part Of the world, with ne
groes, Hottentots, Indians,
Chinese, Australian savages
and cannibals, manifests such
particular anxiety about the
United States being embarrass-
ed by the annexation of terri
tory with a few negroes. Eng
land is astounded that this
country should wish to annex
Dominica, though we cannot
discover anything surprisingin
it; but she will remain indiffer-
emf, and for this, we suppose,
the people of the United States
are expected to be profoundly
thankful.
But where did this British
writer find out that the negro
communities we have are so
difficult to manage? While
slavery existed no people in the
world were more easily manag-
ed than our negroes, and that
not by the lash, as the British
and our own abolitionists false
ly represented. There were
no such chronic disturbances
among them as in Ireland, and
no such rebellions as in India,
Canada or among the Oaffres OF
Good Hope. Since the stupen-
dous domestic, social and po-
litical revolution which the
war brought about in the South
"a revolution that in almost
any other country and among
any other people would have
caused long years of disorder
the negroes have been peace
full, >tractable and industrious
Though ignorant for the most
part, though suddenlyinvesteC
with freedom and politica
rights, and though they have
been tempted to disorder by
Northern radical and carpet
bag politicians as we'll as by
the tirebrand scalawags of tht
South, they have conducted
themselves peaceably. The ex
traordinary recuperatien of th,
South and the abundance O
profitable crops, where th,
greater part of the laborers ar
negroes, prove beyond all ques
ton how docile and easil,
managed these people are, an,
how well they have behaved
This shows, too, that the ne
groes, under theinstruction an
guidance of the American pee
ple-under such a people as ar
the greater part OF the South
ernerS-are not a dangerou
class, and can be made usefu
in the development and in

and prosperity. These are fact
perfectly well understood here
and the English cannot com
prehend them.

A writer in the Winsted Herald, las t week, was in trouble because about half of the population of Winsted were forced to attend court at the County seat, giving a vivid description of the snow drifts and other obstructio4s, and he suggested that it was a good tlme to agitate tue subject of a removal of the County seat to Winsted, and to make preparations for introducing into the next General Assembly proper resolutions for that purpose. Better, far better, to introduce resolution extending the Shepaug Valley Railroad 16 miles north, to interssot the Conn. Wertern R. R., near the house of MT. Spaulding in Norfolk. We have always thought that it would be impossible to get railroad on to the high lands of Norfolk and Litchfeld; ; but now, there is a good degree of proba- bility it will be done in a few years. Would 1t not be well to take the money which would be spent in removing the County seat, and in the erection of new County buildings, and help build this short piece of road? Then Winsted, and an the north: ern part of our County, will be acCommo- dated with a railroad to the present Court House. Goshen people like to trade in Winsted and Hartford, and tue proposed road will enable them to do so. When the proper time comes, let the Goshen farmers subscribe to the stock, according to their means. a~4-sa.gt~ s-a fHal h. N.
