only TO the development of our own mate
rial interests, there is no reason why we
should not, under Heavens protection and
an earnest effort to deserve Divine encour-
agement go on with our progress, sublimely
confident in our own resources, and assured
that the dignity of an unprecedented and
successful national destiny awaits us.
But in the pride and strength of this
grand national achievement, let us not for
get that each one of us have duties to per-
form which, while they are coequal with
the demands of patriotism, are required by
a Higher Power than human government.
"Thc food of time is setting on,
We stand upon its brink"
This is the lesson of the day and the ad-
monition of the season. The time we take
no note of but from its loss, finds tongue
with which TO utter this warning even to
the conscience of the most needless. 1t is
warning fraught with meaning not only
TO the individual citizen, but to the col
lectiye aggregation of the entire people
Stalwart and hopeful as our great and
glorious Government is, it is of human
mechanism and is doomed to human decay.
The insidious domoralizations Of partisan
corruption may undermine it, or the arro-
CANT assertion of seditious principle and
the cowardly abandonment of the Right
may cause it TO topple and fall into
ruin-a ruin that would he colossal
in its grandeur, for it would mark
the spot where once stood the most
perfect Republic the world ever saw but n
ruin, and sad ruin nevertheless. And it is
only by the strict performance by each indi-
yidual member Of society of those duties
required by Higher Power that the ma
tional integrity can be preserved. The vir-
tue of the subject is the certain indicium of
the probity of the Government. The flip
pant devotees of fashion and the volatile
schemers in politics may ignore these eter-
nal facts US they pursue each their selfish
aims, but the great underlying principle re-
mains that to win lasting success society
must deserve it. With firm determina-
tion, then, to win that success let each reader
of TIE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN turn this
morning to his neghbor and join in our ac-
claim

Buffalo for the year 339sl,700 bushels of
grain-against but little over 20,0O0,0O0
bushels in each of the two preceding years.

have total grain movement reaching the

nary figure of 1175s7,153 bushels, against

Buffalo is a city of about the proportions
and population of the city of Washington
perhaps tri1e larger-but there is no
material difference in the relative size of
the two cities, while there is n vast dis
parity in their relative business magnitude
and power. Buffalo is 800 miles from ocean
navigation, while ocean ships come to the
wharves of Washington. Buffalo drains the
great free Northwest, while Washington
drains nothing but itself 1t is beautiful
city, situated in one of the most salubrious
and delightful climates on this continent !;
but it is surrounded by Virginia on the one
hand and Maryland on the other, both of
which, until the war, were cursed with the
institution Of slavery, from the effects of
which neither have as yet fully recovered
OF course Washington still suffers in some
degree from these surrounding influences !;
but, nevertheless, its increase in population
for the past eighteen years has kept pace
with, if it has not exceeded, that of the
City of the Lakes, and, what is more, it has
commercial advantages that should tempt
enterprise. But it was no part of our pur-
pose in tue outset of this article TO insti-
tute comparisons, but TO exhibit to our
readers the vast inland commerce Of one of
our thriving prosperous, and beautiful
provincial cities, which aids in making our
common country great.
