DELAwARE's HISTORIAN Rn,siyATED

FOR PRESIDENT OF THE oNrrHD
STATES OF THE WORLD.
From the Philadelphia Evening Tele-
graph, May 10.
Little Delaware is the place of ma
tivi y and residence of a lover of his
race altogether too great for her cir
cumscribed borders. Surely, man
who can throw his arms around the
world and encircle all the English
speaking branches of the human fam
lily, cannot thrive in the Blue Hens
chicken-coop. He needs wider field
for the exercise of his humanitarian
instincts; broader arena in which to
develop his grand schemes of univer-
sal brotherhood and reunion. In fact,
1t is strange that one born and reared
within the narrow confines of the Dia-
mond State should have expanded in
to q citizen of more than national
height, breadth, and depth, to say
nothing of weight. In the latter re-
spect the subject of our meditation
long since kicked the beam against all
competitors. He is "sulid'' man who
would cake front seat at Rhode Is
land clam-bake. A little incident, by
way of illustration. Upon one genial
occasion our model patriot was the
happy host. In introducing the Chief
Magistrate of Wilmington 10 the as
sembled company of visitors, he re-
marked, Gentlemen, the Mayor OF
city," and then, patting his great
white vest approvingly, playfully add
ed, land here is the corporation
For many years Francis Vincent, un-
known TO fame, has heroically struggled
with Fate in an endeavor to WOO the
tickle goddess. At last he has caught
her by the skirts, aud bids fair to be
waited to dizzy pinnacle of renown.
He has conceived plan for uniting the
English-speaking nations under one
government, aud presents the same to
the world in an elaborate and altogether
remarkable memorial to Congress. Life
is short, but lack of space only prevents
the reproduction Of this highly original
document. 1t is urged that III race,
language, laws, forms of government,
religious systems, manners, customs,
litei ature, ETC., the people of the United
States and those of Great Britain and

dlstinctively peculiar In being different
from other nations; that we are both re-
ally Republics; that in both Govern
ments power is derived from the people
in ours directly, in the other Indirect
ly. The memorialist then points out a
"plan" of government under which both
countries can be united upon basis OF
"cxscL Justice" Then, af er getting
everything in smooth working order,
the prophet aud pioneer Of Anglo Saxon
glory proposes the following fitting eli
max for his truly magnificent scheme.
He says:-
"If we invite the civilized powers oi
the world to join us, and admit them
upon application as members of oul
Confederacy, upon the simple provision
that they bind themselves BY our Con-
stitution aud laws, adopt universal edu
cation, and teach the English Language
to every child in their schools, then, II
time--it may be long time, but posi-.
bly, much sooner than we expect-one
mai ion after another may join us, to gel
| the benefits of our trades, and to escape
the terrible sufferings and expenses ol
war. The language of other nations
will sink to local dialects; we will only
have one language-the English; and
from being the United States of North
America, and tie United Anglo Saxon
| States, We will become in time the
| United States of the World. Yoll
aiemoralist begs leave to state to your
honorable body that he believes, from
circumstances, that 1t is the destiny Of
| hU fhia m ff
bring about state of peace throughout
the universe, and that until this Is don't
| their mission is not accomplished"
Here, indeed, is an idea befiiting the
times in which we live. Herein we set
the American eagle tapping his wings
and preparing to spread himself in &C
cordance with the undoubted purpos'
for which he was created. Here, il
feet, do we see "manifest destiny" iu al
its transcendent glory. A vision o
SURPRISING splendor arises before tn
minds eye. A grand aggreg alton OF tn
worlds emblematic creatures ofpowe
can be seen humbly seated beneath tn
the shadow of our noble bird. Th'
British lion will cease to roar, tn
Prussian eagle to scream, the Frencl
| frog TO ctoak, the Russian bear to grow
the far off penguin of Patagonia and tn
African monkey, with Darwin's "missln
links" will be there; the White Ele
phanL of the far East, also, will "com
in" bringing in his train the Heather
Chiuee. What magnificent sp ctacl
it will bel Aud yet there will be no jeal
ousy, no bickeri &, no family fights, n
uolting; tho "unit rsle" will be uni
versally acquiesced in, and Uncle Sam
seated on pile of Yankee notions TO
a pedestal, will dlspeI Sc equal an
exact ji.tice to all his children. Mha
a wonderful idea! Here is "bJom" tina
will knock the breath out OF all I'll
feeble little affairs now afoat. W
Nominate Francis Vincent for the firs
President of the United States of th
