in such way that 10 Will grow more
difficult as the population OF these Two

crate commercial interests without con-
fusion. Nature intended the entire ter

government, with all the relations OF llie,

! Our forests are tho same, our rivers ana
mountains and valleys are connected, our
products of field and shop are closely al,
lied, and other things, both artificial ana
natural, which accrue and belong TO the
j., people OF the two territories, are the
same; all these things would seem TO de-
mand that the governments should be
blended. This can only come, however,
by the free will aud consent of our British
neighbOrs The United States is not, nor
never has been, "A government OF arbitrary
annexation.
"She seeks no quarres with her neigh

dominions; she holds ont friendly hand

Ic There is no thoughtful person before
me, who has not asked himself, how shall
Df the evils Of municipal government, and
ne the vice engendcrcd by the greater growth

In population be corrected? How shall this

0bviated? How shall foreign immigra -
lr tiOn be regulated, so that we, as a coun-
4 try shall receive our full share Of the bet
r. Ter people. and not an undue share OF the
~ pauper and criminal classes.
