such an invasion when 1t was known

When this form Of government was
once established, we need not coniipe
our Union only tn countries of our own
race, but might admit every country

unable 10 contend with powerful neigh
hors, would from time to time annex
themselves TO us, and seek protection
under the wing of our power. For every
State that joined US would have equal
rights with u.s. having power in exact
! proportion to tho number of its people,
IT is more than probable in time, ~
civilization advanced, that every nation
on tho globe would JOIN us. All would
ultimately see the folly of burthening
themselves with oppressive taxes, for
the purpose OF keeping up Immense
fleets and armies for protection against
foreign powers. when by simply join
ing our great confederacy, they would,
without such expense. be more
efficiently shielded by its immense
| physical and moral power; for the
army and navy OF the Great United
Nation would protect ono as well as
all.

plan was carried out, the whole world
would ultimately lie of ore nation, aud

English. Wars would lie hanished

and not for the best that our preiu-
tlices, our folly or Ignorance will lead
us TO adopt, ana have so sent you what
consider the best plan: The union OF
the whole Anglo. Saxon race into one
great nation; founded on the equal
rights Of all, formed on the true nrinci.

with the consent of the governed. and
II the two nations fail to uGopt it, it IL
their fnult and folly, and not that al
the plan. Such government, il to it
is added the principal Of universal anti

Anglo SAXON race and mere than prohn
