strong desire is manifested at the North to give some distinctive name to country, other than that of the Unted States. There are many pIaus,b reasons why some general designation should be adopted, which IS pecua, to the country and cara- bic Of being used in the form of an adjective. We are without any single wo,d which describes a ci,i- zen of the United States, and that awkward (orm o description applies equally the people of the other American governments. There are other U. States and other American people than ours. It an old sub Ject of discussion if il decided that the change is in the whole desirable.

There ara .o good reasons why we should have some more char ac'er'sc name as government than that of the Uni ted States of North America, but not why we should not in every change carefully preserve that of the United States
