Excerpt from The New Republic: Or the Transition Complete, With an Approaching Change of National Empire, Based Upon the Commercial and Industrial Expansion of the Great West; Together With Hints on National Safety and Social Progress The first edition of these pages was written the latter part of December 1866, and the first part of January, 1867. In the meantime, the current, of public thought and events touching the matter herein contained have flowed in support of its general truth. Encouraged by many favorable notices from the press and distinguished men of the country, I resolved to recast and enlarge the little pamphlet for a second publication. Though very brief in its character and treatment of great questions, and to many will appear extravagant in its phraseology, yet the data that furnished its foundation, and which gave birth to its ideas, are held to be correct, as they come from reliable sources. Believing that there is nothing written herein to injure the common good of all, but that every page, however feeble, is an indication of something better to the great Republic and her people, it is submitted by one who, though humble, has no selfish motive to gratify, nor no higher aspiration than that of contributing something for the good of his country and the human race; and though the work is small, it is a suggestion of a volume which will yet come from a more gifted pen.
