The r,xIess winrs Are Broad.

Tic Hon. Carl Schurz has an article
in the October number OF Harper's
Magazine, arguing against the &C.
QUESTION by the United States of any
territory to the south of our present
boundaries. The article is not in fine
best vein of MIR. Schurz, and indicates
a lassitude of those energies which
were once so vigorous if not always
wisely exerted. The venerable states
man and ex-revoiutionist is evidently
no longer in his intellectual prime,
and his utterances r lacking both in
fire and force. His argument against
annexation is hardly worth an
answer. Had the United States fol-
lowed the lines he indicates the nation
would still have been confined TO a
patch on the Atlantic seaboard, the
original settlements of the natives of
Great Britain.
The United States has absorbed
French and Spanish, Mexican and
Russian territories on this continent,
and has benefited UNNECESSARILY, in
stead of being injured thereby.
Should Cuba desire to add her single
star to the American galaxy there
would be n disposition on the part
of the large majority of the American
people to say nay to the request and
should Mexico eve prefer free gov
eminent in the American Union to a
military dictatorship this country
would not spurn the prize.
Mr.. Schurz says: "When once fairly
launched on this course we shall
hardly find a stopping place north of
the Gulf of Darten." To Americans
who take pride in their country, and
who believe in its future and its
grandeur, there is nothing appalling
in this suggestion of Mr.. Schurz. The
American eagle has wings broad
enough to stretch from Darien to
Alaska.
