Among the errors extensively imbbed in
this country, that appears to be the most
extraordinary, which connects our gene
raj prosperity with the state of our
foreign relations. From the liveiest inter-
est we take in every vscissitude in the af-
fairs of Europe, and in the smiles and
irowns OF foreign nations towards US, it
might be inferred that we were entirely de-
pendent on foreign events, if not for our ex-
istence, at least for every thing that renders
existence blessing.
Is this impression correct? IF it is we
ought to realise our true character and act a
part consistent with it. We should reject
the lofty notions of independence as the idol
dreams of disordered Imagination, and
learn the important duty of obedience. We
should quietly resign ourselves to our fate
instead of rashly struggling against it.
IT, however, the impression be altoge,h.
er incorrect, we are called upon dispassion.
ately TO estimate our real character, to faith
ON our own native resources, and to scorn
that dependence, which will probably be
found on a full investigation, to be the source
OF almost all our divisions and troubles.
Now, experience is the unerrlug crucible
OF every thing done by men. VIVA. does
it teach us That amidst the dreadful
changes and convulsions which have for
twenty years agitated the whole foreign
world we have remained happy and have
grown IN prosperity with every succeeding
year. Much as we have been alarmed
from time to time, with the menacing as.
poet OF affairs, we have continued to pro.
gress, with steady pace, in riches. in
numbers, and in power while these for.
eign events, which excited our apprenensi.
ons and made us tremble for the conse.
qnences, have turned out to be either bless.
ings in disguise or at worst but momenta.
ry checks. Thrones have sunk beneath the
nervous arm of Napoleon, and the estab,
lished order the European world has TOT
tered TO its base. Every breeze has waited
us TO the chilling sound of the hurricane.
and has filled US with overwhelming presa.
ges OF our own fate. But time and events
have soon undeceived us, and instead of
hndinG ourselves involved in the general ru.
rum We have advanced, with accelerated
steps, toward the goal Of our wishes.
