There is neither national pride nor individual Ell
terprse; neither intelligence nor virtue; and like
other inferior races, they mus, melt away aud dis
appear before the march Of superior civilization,
knowledge, energy, and virtue. Who will even
tual.y supplaut them, cannot be question. The
AngiO-Saxous have the fearless courage, the in
domtable energy, the love Of adventure, the in
yentiye genius, the patient industry, ,thcw0rdwide
spirit, sustained and quickened BY moral and rC-
llgous principle, which carry them every where,
make them, al home every where, and every
where plant around them the homes and institu-
tons they leii behind. The English language IS
to be IN. Ianguag: Of North America, from the
pole To the ls,hmus in the Canadas, Prince Ru-
per.'3 Land, equal 10 half Of Russia, Oregon, the

Of course the English literature, with its science,
lis morals, and religion, with all the free educa-
tlOna. aud religious institutions which dignity and
bless our own father land.
Is not such a result also 10 be desired, rs well
as expected! Has God made any thing in yainl
Is il according to his will that the richest and fair
est portions oi the world he has created for man,
should forever remain wilderness and a waste!
that our cities should be- crowded with the star
wing poor, in garrcs. and cellars, and the streets,
while much land remains to be possessed, half
cultivated by its present occupants, or giyenup for
the range Of beasts and sayages! Mexico alone,
pcopled as dcnscv as Massachusetts, would con-
tain population Of one hundred and thrtv-two
millions; instead Of which it has but seUen! Cen

taiuing a pOpuaonOf twenty millions in fact con-
Jains bul ilr0i \ country which might sustain
population Of one hundred and fifty millions, G.
quail to half Of the Chinese Empire, sustains only
nine! God did not lift up these mountains, and
spread oul these valleys, and create that luxuriant
soil, and plant those groves Of citrons and oran-
gns. and every delicious fruit, and kindle up the
spies, and pour out thebreath Of everlasting sum-
mcr over the whole, that these miserable droncs
might merely yegetate tyrannize and fight while
others Of his children are condemned to subsist
upon train oil and seals, and live in houses cXca-
waited IN piles Of snow, or constructed OF blocks
Of ice. amidthe eternal highland frost of thepoles.
The world was made TO be enjoyed, not possess

The mission Of the Anglo-SaXons is to disenthral,
ciyilize, elevate, and ragcnerate the world; that
, Of our own counrymen, no degenerate plant of
the same vine, to perform all these Offices for the
population Of North America from ocean to ocean
and the Isthmus 10 the PoIc-a work as glorious
as great, and sure to be done.
