Free Trade says : « Create as much capi tal as ws esn, and let it find its own level.” Protection says: « Dam in yoor capital, for fear it should benefit your neighbor.” Free Trade says : << Be a man and a citi zen of the world.” Protection says : « Be an American or a Frenchman, and never mind what becomes of the rest of mankind.” Free Trade is a robeless goddess, walking in unrestrained liberty and beauty. Protection is an old woman in a tight cor set, hobbling along and feeling the way with a crutch in the dark. Free Trade faces tbe world bravely, con fident of strength.

The Secretary'suggests the expediency of endeavoring to make som*arrangement with the State of Texas, whereby a portion of her vast unoccupied domain may be temporarily allotted to the exclusive occupancy of the Indians within her borders.

The ease is different with regard to New Mexico. That territory is so remote and in accessible, and holds out such little induce ments to emigrants, that the struggle be tween the two raees, is destined; in aU prob ability, to continue there long after it shall have ceased in every other portion of the continent.

Thus it will be seen that there is no just cause to fear that foreigners vril 1 ever become too strong in the Union. The fact that nearly all foreigners settle in towns and cities, and enter into couuneroe, generally has produced the wrong impres sion of their numbers. Few foreigners are farmers; they engage ia some business which brings them before tte country, and conse quently a false estimate of their numbers have been made.
