ten he,ereogenibns ingredients, aud operated
upon by afiinities and rcpulsions So iniri-
cate, that il will take more thln the shrewd-

tendency of their march and operations, or
to attempt to solve The mystery Of The enlg-

inventive, brave, generids, chiyalrous, in-
telligent, educated, homogeneous, for the
most part it is true in its Anglo-Saxon blood,
but vet having an infusion of o.her races.
Our laws are free--the LIGHT of the press
and of instruction poul thcir cffllgonce into
the remotest recessos Of our country. Ey-
cry mind is awake to its swn pawers, and
to the individual sovereignty it possesses.
Each State again feels its bwn separate in
dependent power in the coafederacy as par
amount to every authority Of the General
Government, except that delegated for in
ternational purposes and the protection Of
the whole. This extreme subdivision Of
sovereigntyis is the source Of our wealth and
enterprise on land and sea, by the eternal
competition and struggle itcnuses between
individuals and between the States, who,
thus enriching by their united efforts the
common veal, flrge by rail roads, canals,
and their mutual dependence in commerce
and trade, the very bonds and links which
draw our people hourly 's;asus- aud claser
together, aud make them hourly feel their
reciprocal advantage to each other, just in
proportion IS they become conscious that
this immense accumulation OF united
strength, gives them such an exalted posi-
ton for wealth, power and respect in the
eyes of other nations.
The existence OF unprinciplcd men among
us-malign spirits who woull ruin because
they cannot rule--who would break up the
glorious offspring Of humanity and wisdom
which our fathers bequeathed to us with
their blood and Virtues-,hose individuals
or groupes, and all others, whether yisiona-
res at home, or the scum Of prisons and
poor houses, that is cast up from foreign
countries in the foam Of the sea share--are
but drops in the ocean. They will be sub
merged, neutralized and purified, or rem
dered impotent and unoxious by the whole

common sense philosophy which prodomi-
mates in our sociaLcnwFsa hnd which, hy

Thus we deem if, and every moment we
believe, however adverse causes may at
times throw the administrative power il the
hands of usurping and unprincipled men,
the machinery must and will recover itself,
AMI go on forward by more enlarged expo
ricnce with renovated power. There Is
no fear Of military tyrants--nor standing ar
mes-nor hierarchies--n3 hereditary no
bilties. The people know better than to
let their money go for such trumpery. Let
us be ever so rich, the General Government
will be kept poor, or rather economical and
to the combined authority Of the
States. In few years there will be no
tariff, and every link in the machinery ofI
the General Government must be sustained
by direct taxation. The world will then
see there will be no danger of surplus of
money 10 purchase US up for slaves to some
Napoleon. Nqtbing but diyis-
ion of the unien can sff ny basis to spec |
which predict future conquests |
and monarchies, &c. Rather let us hope
that all the continent Of South America,
will at first, by peace meal, as il is now do
ing, onnect itself with aud fall into the oni-
braces of Dur federative system, till the
waves of the Pacific aud the Atlantic mu-

fate of the negro slave race, the time will !
come, If Mexico be added to our territory,

with them. AS to the other races, whoaro
free but mixed with Moarish, Negro and
indian crosses, and who carry their dIstlnc-
i've marks upon them, hey never can be
made to amalgamaie with the pure foun-
aims Of Anglo-Saxon origin. They must
separate and remove from US, or become
degraded and dwindle away, and thus final
