though II has now fallen behind in the rae
OF politics, is still iI many other respect
the first country in the world What W.
mean is this, that. subsisting by industry our
selves, we should, above all things, cultivate
friendship with free: and industrious nations
that when our final struggle with despoiisn
comes on we may be able to reckon on pow
erful allies, already SD formidable to despot
ism that wish of the United States is almos
regarded like command by the princes O
the Old World. Russia dares not insult tn,
Republic, Austria displays the utmost defer
ence TO its wishes; France, in name a re
public also, breads nothing so much as hav
ing such an enemy beyond the Atlantic
And, descending to inferior states, we may
atflrm that there is not one which would no
contemplate with the utmost terror the pros
pect of giving offence to America.
Yet we see this mighty state anxious as
the smallest to extend and fortify its com
mercial relations. With true political wis
dom, It perceives that real greatness depend.
entirely on industry. 1t has, therefore, it.
agents everywhere, and the last batch o.
Journals from the East reveals to US the
workings of its all-but-omnipotent system OF
diplomacy. We find its agents at Sarawak
seeking to conclude commercial treaty
with Sir JAMES BROOKE; at Labaun and
Borneo, for like purpose; in China, also,
and Siam, Java, and Bali. Comparatively
we must reprOach ourselves with neglect
We do not, as we should, take the lead in
many parts of the world, especially in those
where private enterprise and policy have
laid open channel for the easy operations
of government
Still, we must not conceal the fact that we
also have of late done much towards advanc-
ing the industry and commerce of the world
that our exports are increasing, that Our
ships are multiplying everywhere, that our
colonies are growing rich and populous, and
that they will constitute, at no distant day
our most numerous and valuable contempo-
raries. This, it would be absurd to disguise
all we insist upon is, that our colonies might
be far richer and more populous, and our
trade infinitely more extensive, if the consti-
tutions of our colonies were sufficiently dem
ocratic to satisfy those who proceed there in
preference to the United States. We should
not suffer our best citizens to be lost, merely
to enjoy the luxury Of mis-government in our
colonies. 1t would be cheap concession to
allow them to become great and prosperous
by granting them free institutions, because
we should be repaid tenlold by their attach
ment TO the mother country, based at once
on gratitude, and the feelings of aflluent in
dependence. We should, in fact, expand
our representative system having first tho
roughly reformed it at home-to all the most
distant corners of the empire, which, thus
knit and compacted together, would present
to the world The greatest and most formida-
BILE body polite known to history. London
