THE OBEATEB HALF OF THE CONTINENT. rProra the North American Review.] The immeasurable content with which the average citizen of the United States contemplates the fact that, as I between the Atlantic and Pacific,/ there are no stretches of territory that do not contribute to his greatness, can equally be shared by the Canadian. But the American has limitations on the north by a line drawn at the St. Lawrence and the Lakes, and along the forty-ninth parallel, against which his commerce beats as against an im- penetrable wall, and like a wave rolls back upon itself. A night's journey from Boston or New York, and the limit of his boa.sted areas towards the north are reached, two nights and a day, even from Chicago, in the centre of his territory, and the ground to the north covered by tne trade of that great city is exhausted. Not so with the Canadian. Not only does his territory stretch two hundred miles further out into the Atlantic, on the Nova Scotia coast, than thejaverage of the United States â€" not only does it then stretch across a vast *^continent of untold wealth to tbe Pacific, qn the CQast of British Columbia, bat extends as far north as th^ Artie Ocekn. Take in the stnpendaus figures included in these measure- meiiu. Adopting the eighty-fifth de- gree of loiigitade as a centre, Canada etreleliett^j^, to the oue-faandred and thirtieth depcMe, and east to tbe forty- second degree â€" forty-five degrees on oiie side and ferty.tbree d^rees on tl»r otlier.: Noi;th and south the DOminioik^stret^es' from the fifty- first di^ee of latitnde, sonUi to the forty-second degreis, and north to tbe frozen sea.
