Present influence OF the Jews.
If it should be asserted, that at no
time between the calling Of Abram, and
the destruction of Jerusalem BY the Ro@
mans, was the influence Of the Hebrew
nation upon the world, as great as it is at
this time, the assertion lightraise a smile
81 incredulity And yet a little reHeo
ti0n might sustain such an assertion.
The power, which has been welded by
the RothschiId family, acting as bank
ers for European governments, and
thereby controlling in some degree the
action Of those governments, is well
known. But this, great as it has been,
Is but small item in the account A
vast influence is exerted in continental
Europe, by Jews through the current lite
nature Not few Of the most powerful
writer's in Europe are Jews and the
aggregate Influence which the men of
the nation are exerting through the
press, is untold
Nor is. this all The Jews have had
an immense agency in promoting the
revolutions, which have made the past
and present year so memorable in his
tory It is well known that there has
been great concert Of action among the
ultra republicans, the agents of revolu-
ton IN the different countries Tt is a
great mistake to suppose that those pop
ular outbreaks which first exploded in
Paris, then in Berlin, then in Vienna
and So on, were wholly independent Of
foreign influence 1t was testified by
residents ia Berlin, that on the day pre-
vi0us to the first attempt at revolution
there, the streets Of the city We're filed
with strangers and foreigners that pro
pagsndists Of revolution had come from
Paris and other places And this ap
pears to have been a general fact, touch
ing al the reVolutions Of the last year
Though popular discontehts and popu-
lar notions Of liberty had gone before
and prepared the way, the immediate
occasion Of the revolutions when they
occurred, was something more than the
invisible sympathy passing from one
kingdom and city to another There
was a combination Of reyolutionizers,
more OF less definitely organized, extend
ing its qualifications through the eonti-
nent, and concentrating its force on a
given place as occasion required.
Prominent among this band Of repub-
licmakers were some Jews Of great en-
ergy and force Of character And as
the pens Of Jews had previously done
much, to propagate principles leading to-
revolutions, SO now Jewish conspiyators
did much to hasten the catastrophe
And in this the Jewish nation has had
its revenge on the monarchies Of Europe,
for The expressions and indignities, which
they have ever inflicted. And it is not
unnatural to think, that the hatred,
which the remembrance of the many
wrongs that nation has endured from
kings and emperors, may have been a
leading motive, impelling the Jews to
act the part which they have acted The
jew IN this country is peaceable and
useful citizen, because he has never been
here oppressed by our government.
But against every monarchy Of Europe
he has charged a heavy score Of injuries.
And when tie day Of reckoning comes
for those monarchies, it viii be strange
if the ] CIV does not file IN his accounts
Weare then, in these events, witnessing
such a retribution as was every way to
have been expected
But if Jewish hands have mingled in
promoting those political earthquakes,
if Jewish talent has been SO potent in
those issues Of the press, that have pre-
pared the public mind for them, and
Jewish wealth was held the policies of
kings and the movements Of armies in a
sort Of dependency, then it may be true
that Jews are now exerting more inhu-
ence in the world than they did under
the reign Of the most renowned of their
kings
And if providence has now elevated
that people to such an influence, it may
be with reference to some greater events
IN which they are to bear part Tbs
separate existence of that nation, min
gled among all nations yet amalga
mated with none, is standing miracle
That separate existence is doubtless
preserved in subservienoy to some great
designs OF Providence hereafter To he
accomplished through and upon them
The Importance, though not perbans the
precise MIXTURE Of these designs. is inti-
mated in prophecy, and while we reject
the theories Of the millennarians. we still
expect that the incoming Of the Jews
viii be as life from the dead to the
Gentiles. And hence we watch with
special interest every turn Of the hand
Of Providence that eleyates that people
