Fraser's entitled "rhe United States Of America -

ENGLISH LANGUAGE UNVERsAL.-There arc
three events in the history of the world which will
bear comparison with this rapid extension of the
English race. The first-and this has always ap-
peared to to be the most striking occurrence in
history-is the marvellous manner in which
handful of Greeks, under Alexander and his
cessors, overran and held for long period the
whole of the East The wonder is increased when
we consider the difficulty of maintaining commu-
nications in that part of the world. They, in
great measure, changed the language and ideas of
the East. The Gospel was written in Greek; and
the laws of Moses, the writings of the Hebrew
prophets were translated into Greek ON the banks
of the Nile. Greek kingdom even able 10
maintain itself for long period of time the very
confines OF Tartary; and specimens Of the Gr@co-
Bactrian coinage are even TO this day abundant in
that part Of the world. All this, however, passed
away, and has not left any very obvious traces on
the present state of things. The second event
disposed 10 maintain that, n general
view OF human affairs, every thing happens for the
best, yet We may say Of the Roman empire that il
was, In many respects, a giant evil. No man OF
great original genius ever spoke the Roman Ian
guage-in the sense in which many Greeks, and
amongst ourselves Bacon. Shakespeare, and New
ton, were men of original genius There was a
time when there were men Of spirit and ability in
every Greek city; there was a time when the Ro-
man empire governed the world, and there was not
one great man from Britain 10 the Euphrates.
Having fulfilled its destiny-which seems 70 have
been the introduction into the Western World Of
the ideas Of unity, law, and order, though uninten
tionally its part, for IL nothing but mill
tary desPotism-it persisted as it deserved and its
language is now nowhere spoken.
The third event was the irruption OF the Barbara
ans. That higher civilization followed this, every
body knows but how many centuries did IL take
10 civilize the Barbarians
Now thesc the three great events Of past history,
arc all dwarfed very much when compared with what
now doing. We are sending out every year,
literally, hundreds Of thousand Of civilized men 10
people two continents in opposite hemisphercs, and
on opposite sides Of the globe. In North America
there are already twenty millions Of our This
population doubles every twenty-five years Aus
tralia will inevitably become the Queen Of the
South" Now that literature has given perma-
nency 20 language, no other tongue than ours will
ever be spoken upon these continents. We can sec
no limit 20 the spread Of laws, literature, and
language. Greek and Roman greatness are really,
In comparison nothing 10 this. And, compared
with the millions Of civilized which We have
sent and are sending 10 occupy 30 large portion
Of the carth's surface, how insignificant becomes
the irruption Of some savage or halfsavagc hordes
into Italy, France, Spain, and England.

ENGLISH ESTIMATE OF AMERICAS CLocKs.-Thc
following extract from late work Clock and
Watch Milking, by Edmund Beckett Denison, will
exhibit the effect in England Of one branch of
American manufactures
"The bracket clocks with pendulums from ten

English clocks Except regulatory that Ind any

not exposed 70 a temperature that freezes the oil,

namental clocks, neither Of which, however, will
last nearly long. With the latter Il is no doubt
quite hopeless for us 10 compete, as, besides the
greater cheapness Of their labor the French appear
70 possess what may call a smaller eye and finger
than English workmen, and they are able 10 per-
form delicate and ornamental work with much
greater quickness and facility: And as those who
chiefly regard the beauty Of the figure OF their
clocks seldom much about their entrails, they
consider IL of no consequence that n good English

a foreign one.

clockmakers take some steps towards either alter.

clock can help seeing that ours are unnecessarily

The Age of Progress.

To keep up with the times is very commendable;
but there is such thing getting ahead of them.
Perhaps the following is a case in point. We quote
from the Boston Post, May 3lst;
MEETING IN FAVOR OF A WoMAN's RIGnTs' Con-
vENTIoN-At the Melodeon early yesterday morn
ing, meeting was held by large number Of both
sexes favorable to the object, to take measured for
holding a convention in favor of securing to women
the exercise Of political rights, and greater rights
OF property and education, &c. Mrs. Pauba
Wright Davis, of Providence, presided, and Miss
Lucy Stone. of West Brookfeld officated as secre-
tary. Miss Stone also addressed the meeting in
very forcibe manner, and William Lloyd CARR
son, Henry C. Wright, and Elijah Thayer, the
Blackstone prophet, also spoke. II was voted to
hold the convention, and the following committee
was appointed to make the necessary arrange
ments Miss II. X. Hunt of Boston, Elijah X. Ken
ney of Salem, Lucy Stone of West Brookfeld, Abby
Foster of Worcester, Paulna w. Davis of Provi-
dencc, Deborah NJ. Taft of Roxbury, and Eliza II.

Foreign sympathy Tor the United states.

There is great anxiety abroad concerning affairs
with friends who have sojourned in Europe, the
conviction is irresistible, that the destiny Of the old
world hangs upon the result Of this experiment Of
sell government, now in progress In the United
States. The lovers of freedom there fully under
stand this. They constantly speak of it. Aside
from personal considerations, how much there Ia
due from ourselves TO those suffering from political
oppression elsewhere Safety seems guaranteed to
us. Freedom from political oppression is the boon
granted to every citizen. No man here has any
apprehension that his political liberty, his personal
rights or his safety will be abridged, or that any
wrong can be perpetrated against him for which he
has not redress through the ordinary channels Of
law or legislation
How shall the privileges we have received be con-
tnued for the security Of those who succeed US is
problem easily solved. Let every citizen who
has any sympathy for freedom abroad or at home.
strive TO save his own country from anarchy and
misrule. Parties will always exist. but they need
not be factious. Differences of opinion will pre-
vail, but they should not run riot. Opposition TO
the mode in which the Government is administered
may honestly be entertained, but that never should
be by fierce denunciation or interruptions abuse.
Calumny should never be so bold that IT will
weaken fraternal ties at home, dcnuncation 30
audacious TO crafty the predictions and the
hopes Of tyrants in the old world.
In every despotism OF Europe there are more or
less Of enlightened men, who are signing for the
Liberation Of their country from political wrongs
They speak Of the threatening state Of affairs in
country as most discouraging to their hopes and
prejudicial TO their cause They do not understand
that the freedom of speech and the liberties of the
press have given utterance TO nameless incendiary
assaults and idle denunciation. They only sec
things as they appear on the surface, without know
ing that security here lies in the right TO speak and
the full exercise of political freedom They are
anxious, but needessly So, yet their anxiety is to
be respected, and if possible relieved. So every
outbreak and popular effervescence in this country
encourages despotism and nerves the arm OF ty-
ranny
They deceive themselves to the cause, and the
prospect Of the humiliation of popular rights, but
Europe is now in comparative repose Firmness
here and stability in this Government is only
ing the popular arm for new efforts. which, when
they are renewed, will be successful from
their augmented confidence and the strength their
resolutions will inspire. Let every man hope for
success in doing good, and strive after the accom-
plishment Of political freedom.-O s,oego Times.
