as soon as America becomes natlOni
as soon as her people bear that pro
portion to their soil, which those OIL
other countries bear to theirs--as|
soon as national taste is formed,
and as conflicting interests begin toI
assume their proper appearances-ilI
will be found that America will be-
come a monarchiaI, if not perhaps a
military and despotic government.
We cannot say that our wishes second
our observations upon this point. On
the contrary, we should wish, for the
Improvement Of the world. that Amer
lea shoullremain republic because,
eeteris paribus, ifthe least expensive

ments of duration, and afford equal
protection Of person and of property
as more expensive the advantages
are with the republican form Of go
vernment, and should therefore be
preferred.
America possesses many advanta-
ces denied to other countries and it
She act a prudent part towards her
brethren Of the south, her commerce
must improve. and her navy acquire
1 a permancnce which may alter, in
i the process of time, the situations OF
J many European states. No man can
contemplate the situation OF America
) without feelings of superior exnlta-

/. look upon the Americans AS the lees

d abuse Of Jonathan will secure pre-
eminence to John Bull. l'he, publ,
