Our Country'• Future.
A glance at, a map of the northern
portion of the western hemiophere
discbses to the patriotic American
student of geography and political
economy a prospect of the almost
granduer. lie there sees his beloved
country sjrctching from the tenth line
of east longitude, in Passaniaguedd
Bay, to the ft ffiethline of west longi
tude, off Cape Mendocino, on the Pa-
rifle coact—an airline from ocean to
ocean of more than four thousand
titles, sweeping over mountains, lakes
rivers, willies end praries the most
magnificent upon the globe. lie
• beholdsnilso, an airline of nearly two
thousand miles, (about twenty-five
degrees of latitude,) stretching north
ward front the Florida reefs to the
southern border of the Lake of the
Woods. surrounding this vast area
he finds a coast line of more than five
thousand miles, indented with hail- t
dreds of bays, harbors . and inlets of
most ample
,dimensions, fiirni.hintt
outlets arid inlets on the east, west
arid south to the entire tl'otntneree of
the world. Within it is the great
Father of Waters, with its majestic
flow of forty one hundred miles, and
a dozen other rivers draining territory

pie tin happily situated Vi.t, look
ing further and 111104 - C closely at the
peograpieal and climatic features of
the vast territory, and considering
the imperfections exist inx in the best
of human go.v.ernmemm, we are not HO
positive in the belief that natural
unity and a singularity of bentimenta
attd customs can prevail when the
population approaches th density of
the Old World nations.! The vast
chains of mountiins,, filled though
, they are with the wealth of kingdoms,
have this drwback—thdy aro barn-.
erk to progress and 'intercour.e, and
thus dissever and isolate in sentiment
and interests the people whom they
separate geographically. The olim ate,
althclugh rpeither of the extremes,
verges sufficiently . on the frozen
region at the !north and upon the
torrid at the South, to influence the
human frame and mind, and thus to
gradually create di , seinilarity 0e!
character among the people.
Thus, for instance, the Allegheny
chain, with its spurs and adjuncts ;
cuts off a plateau of' territory which
slopes down to the Atlantic Ocean,
constituting the basis of a vast natioh
in itself,,,and, as it happened (was it
not: through natural - laws?) forming
the original thirteen colonies. \Vest
of this chain lies the elevated plateau
of the Mississippi, (having its otklet
to the south in the'Gulf of Mexico,)
which imbraces land enough for a
great intfirnal empire. It is termi—
nated in the west by the various ran
ges or mountains known by the gen
eral term Rocky Mountains. Within
these mountains are extensive vallies
having outlets to the southward, and
beyond the last western range are
immense plateau % lopes down and
sends its waters to the Pacific Ocean.
Upon this western slope a vast com
munity has sprung up within the last
twenty years, and, in that brief space,
through the influences of those moun
fain barriers and the intery,ening des
, tut washes it has become so isolated
as to be almost independent of the
rest of the country. It has an inde
pendent financial system , its juris
prudence differs from the eastern
eetntuunitics, and in the manners,
customs, thoughts, feeling and acts
of the people it is eccentric and indi
vidual. This, it may he argued, will
all be changed after there have been
constructed railroads over the track•
less washes of the west and through'
the grand and terrible gulches or the
Pacific mountains, in the dame man
nerthat the States of the Mississippi
plateau have been united with and
a-similated to those of the Atlantic
slope. The argument has weight
The progress of population we-I ward
and the general overthrow Of those
natural harriers by the triumphant
march of the' arts and sciences will
doubtless long serve as jialliatives to
the Inalady of great nations, but when
the hour„of disholution comes from
!other sources of disintegration, these
natural barbers will constitute the
natural boundaries of the disrupted

rected by the utmost, prudence, wis
dom and holiest endeavor to benefit
the potplo individually and collec
tively. With the growth in popula
tion will multiply the perplexities and
difficulties of law making. Aiready
we have seen what has been lost by
defective legislation, and a vicious
political policy. The. war through
which, the country_lately,pammi was
essentially a climatic war, arising from
false statesmanship and stupid and
fanatical legislative. To prevent
similar wars for the future, resulting
in the disintegration which we have
alluded to, the general government
must abandon all sectional theories
and primacy. 'lt must call to its de,
liberations the wisest and beht loan,
and temper all its acts with justice.
I the pin ty ...now in poser in Con
gress and soon to succeed in the e ee
utive branch capable or willing to so
administer the government? Alas,
experience says, No!) The highest
tlight of statesmanship attained by
nny of its leaders is to crush, to
humble 'and destroy. The whole
emrse of that party has been to akin
ate and separate, thereby justifying
the belief that national unity one nev
er lie secured and perpetuated under
ministrations. Were the leaders Of
the Radical party wise and liberal
men they would not undertike to
mould all sections over one form and
to rule the people under every line of
longitude and latitude with the same
laws. Tlieywould make liberal al
lowances for climatic differences and
fight against that gigantic and eeasely
operating roe to harmony and unity.
As we sec, however, they are not, and
hence in the future, when the vast
territory which is now embraced
within the United States shall be di
vidcd up into two, three or four inde
pendent nations, having little in com
mon except their origin, History will
point to the Radical leaders of the
prbsenfday as the vile germ which,
under clituatie infiences, ripened into
national disruption.
Radical Sophisms
The Radical leaders point to the
buildings and other business enter•
prises. winch have sprung up since
the war throughout the country, us
evidences of national prosperity—the
result of railieal r.:le. They neglected
to bktte however, that the greater
amount of capital thus invested was
taken directly out or the Fe , lral
Trraqury, and realized through the
or till tiovernaaent They
fail, also, to `3Y that, this depletion of
the Federal Trea-ury ha, 1(-nited in

TROIA'S STILL NEEDlll.—With
great flourish of trumpets, FouNEY's
Press announces that Grant says
"Troops are still needed in the South
ern States." Wti think that the
dead duck misapprehends "the situ
ation." "Troops are still needed"
in. the South everybody knows, but
not in the sense, numbers, or for -the
purposes that FoRNEY would have
his dupes believe. Troops are not
needed there to keep down tdrose who
fought for secession, bepauso since
Lee and Johnson laid down their
arms, not a single hostile hand has
been raised agaihst the Federal Gov
eminent. More than this, not a
single armed effort has been made by
thom'to overthiow the in - famous and .
degrading negro abortions called gov
ernments, which the Radical leaders
have forced upon .them. So far as
the "rebel" whites arc concerned,
not a single Federal soldier is needed
in the South. There is an element,
there, however, which does require
the presence of troops. That ele
ment is composed of semi-barbarous,
brutal and hostile negroes, Fed on by
Northern Radical scallawags, svho are
bent upon securing power and plunder
through every means, no matter he* .
despicable. This element can only
be kept down by the military_ power
which Grant well know, becau s e, in
every instance heretofore, in which
the troops \sere called upon, thi,
black scallawag t•lentent was the
prime cause of' trouble. Hence,
while Northern carpet-baggers and
ignorant negroeeare kept in power

The appropriation bill cir the lust sea=
elon of Congress was as impudent and
fraudulent a bill as ever Wall enacted by
any legislattve body. Congress deliber
ately, and with all before it, appropriated
for the whole years' expenses of the
army, a sum just suffoient, and known
to'be only suffloient, to pay for the first
quarter. The defiaienoy, as every m in
whovoted for the appropriation perfectly
understood, will satount to treble or quad.
ruple the appropriation made, and all
the additional amount must be made up
at the approaching session.
The last Congress, without reducing,

expenses of the governMent, lifted a
heavy mass of taxes from the inanufae

°lsis, the nuinufacturers, kenerally
deeined nearly or quite all-powerful, to
use their strength in favor of the eke
lien of Grant. The manufacturers, it is
understood, were beuefitted by this poli
cy, to the yearly amount of two hundred
tnilliens of dollars, whilst the Yearly
revenue was reduced, by tlie some policy

Gov. Geary's camp. Fitzgerald's City
Item, always intensely radical, paye the
following tribute to Geary :
PoonGeary is traveling and begging
day and night to aeoure a renomination.
He coaxes, implores, pComises, threat
etre, whiues and cries. Never before
bia such a speotaole been seen, in this
awe. Mr. W. W. Keiohumand Gener
al Marry White, of Indiana, are his com
petitors—both abler and better men,
and neither of them liars.
