The United States present to the phil.
osopher and statesman, many new and
remarkable objects of conle mplation,
both ply steal and moral. OF these not
the least curious to us, is the progress Of
lp pa'ation, and its influence, under the
representative system, upon the relative
power OF parties, aud the adoption of ma
tionai poiicy. That influence is unqnes E.
t;onably greater than ordinary politicians

exemplifes this principle. The southern
