country perform about half much in the same

ton have seen it practically tried, and although
labor is so very cheap, the expense OF building
public works is nearly or quite as great here as
with US. There can be but little doubt that this
depends on the difference OF diet. An American
workman lives infinitely better, performs moro
labor, and receives better compensation. No

Than paradoxical, when viewed merely on the
surface. The facilities for travelling, are every

ing every nation on the continent into
intercourse with its fellows under such circum-
stances we might suppose that the relics of the
less cultivated languages still existing here, would
gradually disappear, and give place to those al
ready possessing the elements which correspond
to the present advanced state Of society, and
which arc rich in literature and science. Such
course in the people, that now Just emerging
from a state of lethargy, would be Like taxing
one giant step from the past TO the present, and
would place them on an eminence whence they
would have fair start in the great race. This,
however, is not the case the peace that has
reigned in Europe for the last few years has drawn
off one great source of exctement-the fear Of
being conquered. and the necessity OF being con-
tinually engaged in preparations tor selfdefence
and has given to the many inferior nations Of
Europe few leisure moments to consider their
condition, and the position which they maintain
in comparison with their sister nations. They
now see that they have been nearly botted from
the list oil nations, and that the idlom Of their ia
theirs has either been nearly swallowed up by the
contests in which they have been involved, or
has remained so long stationary, as to be no
longer adequate to the manifold demands

their rights of being heard, cherish deadly enmi-

all classes OF the people, and the Hungarians and
Sclavonians at swords points, hating each
other cordially. and engaging in continual Skin

streets of the large cities where the lower classes
not untrequenuy meet and quarrel.
But the Sclavonians have a language of their
