! It certainly subject Of much impor-
lance to the world, and mach more to ;lle
western world whether an independent
Republic shall arise in South America
!; But we are most concerned in the ques-
itien. ;. how will it affect us :" Will if
be to our advantage or disadvantage as a
lnations 'Mnch might be said on both
Isides Of this question with apparent plau-
isibility. While the government Of that
country continues in the hands of Spain,
land while tie government of Spain re-
mains as much debilitated asst now is
we have nothing to fear from the power
either of Spain or tie Indies But il is
said that If a powerful republic should a.
rise in the South, we might find her ve-
!ry unpleasant rival. Our own, opinion Is,
that no republic can ever arise ia that
hemisphere as powerful as our own. We
Ihaye the advantages OF climate, and Sc
lyeral years advance in our favor. But
suppose nation that possesses'as much
ipower and wealth as ourselves, should a.
lrise in South America, would not the
difference in cur natural productions,
!render an extensive trade mutually adj
Ivantageous. If SO, it would certainly be
for the interest of both nations TO cultivate
peace. From the remark made in several
papers, should suppose that
the editors were opposed to the independ
ence of South America, If SO, they have
probably thought that we should not be
benefited by thee independence; and are
willing that len millions of people should
be subject to all the slavery OF the inqui-
sition, and the bisotry Of modern Spain,
because their emancipation Will not be to
our advantage !,Wou not the same rea-
soning hold good in the great question OF
the Slave Trade ? Oar sugar will GER
taialy cost US more when the plantations
must be worked by hired men. than when
slaves are employed. But that heart
must be destitute OF the best OF feelings,
which would on that account, encourage
the slavery Of the negroes.

PERFECTLY satisfied of its answering ali
the purposes Of wood in nropeliing steam

having met with much detention IN a first
