Sir, .Which is the road to bring you prosperity?

I venture to predict. Profusion of aims in history lias been the tragedy of losing all. South Wostlaml can afford no mistakes. She has suffered isolation long enough. So let us cut out all secondary aims without cross-questioning their doubtful quidities and concentrate on the one great aim—the main highway connecting us to the progressive Southern provinces.
