the country on the brilliant prospects with which
these Inventions promise To invest all our national
concerns At any period Of the history of 81 ilish in
dustry, they must have excited the highest expecta
tons but, originating MS they have done when
commerce, our manufactures, aud our agriculture,
the three stars OF our national prosperity have just
passed the lowest point of their orbit and quilted,
trust Tor long, the scene Of their disturbing forces,
canuot but hail them with the lveliest enthusiasm,
and regard Them as contributing, 10 ensure the pre-

the Integrity and the petmanence Of our national in
siituiions.-
IL is due to the truth and candour of philosophical
history, to mention, that MIR. Perkins is not our
countrynian but the age of Jealousy against America
has happily gone past, and we hail with sincere
pleasure, any circumstance which contributes the
scientific renown of our great desce udauts and COM
panions in freedom and intelligence.
