A great variety of interesting comparisons might be made out of the facts presented and calculations offered in the foregoing table, shewing the several censusses; but we shall avoid them as far as it is possible, without neglecting to exhibit what ought to be known and seriously considered by every citizen of the U. States. Some general remarks on population, as affected by manufactures and commerce, may be found in the Address. It is manifest that a large majority of the people approve the protecting system, though different opinions have existed as to the extent and objects of it. Their principle, however, is the same; and the majority is increasing in power with wonderful rapidity, and will increase more ra pidly hereafter, because of the more and more extended range of profitable employment and increased comforts. We shall offer a few figures to illustrate our assertions-not in a spirit of unfriendliness to either of the states named, but with a hope that the people thereof will not shut their eyes against the demonstration. Virginia, especially, great in her territo rial limits, rich in her soil and minerals, and also well supplied with water-power in her new and vigorous western counties, is as well fitted to support a dense and wealthy population as any state in the union; and, indeed, there are few more prosperous districts of country than those in that state wherein manufacturing establishments exist, and flocks of sheep whiten the hills or give animation to the vallies. The surface of the whole state is 70,000 miles, that of Peunsylvania 44,900 square miles, that of New Hamp-hire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Vermont about 34,000; the whole of the states named having only one eighth more territory than Virginia alone, and, perhaps, a less quantity of naturally good land.

When William Penn was about to sail from England for Pennsylvania, he went to take his leave of the king,buy the right of the proper owners, even of the Indians and the following conversation occurred: "Well, friend William," said Charles, "I have sold you a noble province in North America, but still I suppose you have no thoughts of going thither yourself." "Yes, I have," replied William, "and I am just come to bid thee farewell. "What! venture yourself among the savages of North America! Why, nian, what security have you that you will not be in their war kettle in two hours after setting foot on their shores?" "The best security in the world,” replied Penn. "I doubt that, friend William; I have no idea of any security against those cannibals, but in a regiment of good soldiers, with their muskets and bayonets. And mind I tell you before hand, that, with all my good will for you and your family, to whom I am under obligations, I will not send a single soldier with you." themselves. By doing this I shall imitate God himself, in his justice and mercy, and thereby insure his blessings on my colony, if I should ever live to plant one in North America."

"Why not to them as well as all others?" "If it had appeared to them," said the king, "they would hardly have treated my subjects so barbarously as they have done." "That is no proof to the contrary, friend Charles. Thy subjects were the aggressors. When thy subjects first went to North America, they found these poor people the fondest and kindest creatures in the world.
