from South Carolina, Mr.. RnErr,l that there Ia

anarchy and confusion. Thank God, time has dis
slpated this hope; the last twenty years has con-
WINGED the world that our institutions are as stable
as time and as firm as the DEGREES Of de stiny. No
sooner are the governments Of Europe convinced OF
the stability Of institutions than they are star.

American Union This, to them, was the passage
OF the Rubicon; II was the beginning Of what will
end in placing under the protection Of the broad
pnions Of the American eagle the entire continent
stretching from Cape Horn to Behring's straits and
from the shores Of the Atlantic 10 the waves Of the
Pacific.
