THE FUTURE OF AMERICA.

The Washington correspondent of the Cleveland Leader gives the views of Supreme Judge Field concerning the future of America as follow. The Judge is reported to have said : " Th« future of America is illimitable. Many men now living will see the day when we will have a population of 100,000, 000, aud when our territory will be bounded by the Isthmus of Panama on the south. Mexico will be annuxed to the United States before many years, and our railroads are already reaching out to bring it into the Union. We have been getting only 6,000,000d0l of her commerce, and we, should bavt this whole 60,000,000d01, which it amounts to. American railroads will soon cover the country as a net. American telegraph operators, station agents, and other employes will follow. They will buy land along the track, and marry Mexican girls. Immigration will follow, and we will soon have American judges and officers in Mexico. After this annexation will follow withoiv trouble. Then will come Central America in the same way, and thus the great American race will cross the Isthmus, and the Southern Continent will fall into its hands. I look for the day when both N orth and South America will be inhabited by English-speaking people. It is the greatest coloniser of the races of the day, and it may own the world in the future. Look at it ! There is Australia, as large as our continent, owned by the English. There is Tasmania, an island as large as the United States [!] , inhabiiedby English-speaking people. New Zealand is another vast body undertheir power. Canada and Southern Africa are English, and India is fast succumbing to them. No race wipes out other races as does the English or the Caucasian. It either swallows up all it comes in contact with or it exterminates them. The ludian it is exterminating today. It tolerates the negro. America is a magnificent field fov such a race and the Americans are the most prosperous people in the world to-day. We are the richest people in comforts. America wastt-s enough very year to keep France most royally. It will be the great nation of the future. All it needs to become so and continue is a system of good laws prrperly administered, and a sound medium of currency. These once had, other things will follow."
