The annexation to the United States OF the vari-
countries lying to the north and SOUTH and the
ultimate union of all the countries of North and
Central America, including the West Indies, in one
majestic nation has been the cherished dream of
intelligent and phianthropic people In all the
countries which would be affected by such q COM
bination. The influences which are at work to
bring about suoil q glorious result are not only
most powerful and incessant, but gain in volume
and force as the years roll away. The natural con-
ditons of the continent the characteristics of the
various peoples, and the best interests Of all COM
bine to make such an event probable in the very
distant future. The subject has Of late been brought
more closely to the attention OF the public mind
than before, and the agitation of the question
as relates to Canada must bring with 1t an earnest
consideration of the same question as affecting the
other portions of the continent.
When the destiny of the North American CONT
nent shall have thus been worked out and the union
accomplished, nation will have been established
the like Of which the world never nor the his
torian imagined.
In the January number of THE WESTERN WORLD,
ILLUSTRATED, published at Chicago, will appear an
article upon this subject, with maps and illustra-
tions, setting forth at great length and very thor
oughly the reasons for annexation and the benefits
which would accrue to all parties, and describing
the various states which would be added to the
American galaxy, the descriptions being accompa
MED by profuse illustrations.
