ne medium OF selt-interest and communicate
neir applause TO ths. surrounding world
he check therefore c; pubic opinion, which
rcStrains the simple Individual from tho per-
petrauon OF crimes, is withdrawn from the
chiet - 4 state CT rather IS converted Into
goad to urge him on in the career of IN
lostce. From this source is derived the
pr9Verbial expression, that Nations have
no hearts And truly, five look back on
the history Of the world, we shall fra ar.,1le
proofs I'D support of the idea. Inflated with
i'rue' corrupted by power, dazzled with the
glare OF false glory, they push on to their
yulty purposes, ruthless of the misery to
"hich they consign thousands of thc,r fellow
Creatures. II a cry Of agony escapes from
suffering humanity. they hear it not or if
ey near 1t, their rising sympathy is Quelled
oy the dark suggestions of ambition. The
pride, pomp and circumstance of glorious
war pass through their imapinaton in gor-
Seous procession, ard drive from their recol-
lection the honors OF which they are the
cause.
IL wouid be easy to draw ample corrot1o-
ration OF these ideas from history if did not
nope that 1T would be supcrfuous. Every
nation that has acted distinguished part 10
.ne world haspaid a particular regard to
TINS Cardinal point. The Republics %
gre &C. the koF an Republic, and the En-
ish monarchy n its best days, are strong ex-
hihPles. In the history Of the latter we per-
ce've CONTINUAL fluctuations in her p, ospsrity,
ana 'hese ever attendant on the ebb, and
now OF her national character. DuliI the
feeoie reign of James the first, her relnon.
srances were desp:sed, and her power set
at nousht Bit under The Wig rous sway of
cromwell those who hated were compelled
TO respect her, and her weight was more than
ever ieit in the balance Of Europe.
In fne, national chc T,rcter is the most ines
tiinaoie git that nation can enjoy. 1t se-
peis the approach OF insult, and often renders
an appeal to arms unnecessary. Its effects
are 1ele through all the intercourse with o.
ther nations it sheds lussre ON all the
members OF the happy country which may
possess 1t. 1t is difficult TO consine it's nature
W!tnln the limits of = description. Z. eace,

ano 9cfupulous respect for the rig!lts of o.

angry countenance terrible
nave thus endeavoursd 20 give some idea
OF the supreme importance of national rhor-
ecteT, as 1t viii lead eo that Conclusion, which,
fondly believe to be correce, that this war
has exalted our country to the summit of gio-
ry. inthe next nunDer I shall endeavour to
