Happy America.
Fortnightly Review.

We number now nearly or quite fifty
million people. A hundred millions
could be sustained, without increasing
the area Of a single farm or adding one
to then number, by merely bringing
our product up to the average standard
of reasonably, good agriculture; and
then their might remain for export
twice the quantity we now send abroad
to feed the hungry in foreign Lands.
No longer divided by the curse Of slave
ry, this nation is now united BY bonds
of mutual interest and of common
speech, tied 10y the iron band of eighty,
five thousand miles of railway, and is
vet only beginning to feel the vital
power and grandeur Of Il truly national
existence. What may be the future of
this land few can yet conceive. Texas
alone comprises as much territory rs
the German empire, England and
Wales combined. Texas has now about
two million people within her bounda-
ries; the empire of Germany, England
and Wales about 81 100000 The good
land in Texas is equal in area to the
good land in Germany and Great Brit
ain. Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa
c mbined more than equal France in
area and possess more fertile land
Only twenty-five years ago John Brown
and his companions redeemed Kansas
from slavery; Nebraska was then indi-

Preacher in New York.
miscellaneous Political Memoranda,
The Maine Trouble Settled.
rhlladelphla Times. Sol. ~.


The Maine agony ended yesterday by
the republicans cenceding that Plaisted
has small plurality over Davis. Tho
special dispatch from the secretary Of the
republican state committee to the Times is
a surrender of all claim TO Il plurality for
Davis, and the popular verdict is settled.
IT il possible, as intimated by Secretary
Smith, that when the republican legisla-
ture comes to canvass he vote, the irregu-
larties referred TO in his dispatch, may be
mad the pretext for rejecting enough Of
Plaisted's votes to return Davis; but it is of
no consequence in the national count out
side Of Maine, whether Plaisted's presnm-
ably fair election is to be set aside or not
but il will be of vital moment in the No
yember election in Maine. The doubt on
the subject will assure such unity and eff
fort on the part of the fusionists as must de-
ie at the Garfield electoral ticket and end
republican supremacy in the state. 1t is
true, az stated by the republican Journals
when Davis was first reported as beaten
that the governorship is an empty caskct
to Plaisted, but whether Davis shall be
counted in or out now, the result is an ir-
rctricvable disaster to the republicans in
Maine and more probably in the nation.
The adoption Of both constitutional amend
ments by large majorites will take Maine
out Of the list OF early voting states, there
will hereafter be an election but once in
two years and II plurality OF votes will de-
eide the result.
