For our ows part, we are rather sangu,ns than
otherwiss. Nature is indeed, ct present. pouring
unlmitedy her resources into the lap of the human
race but We think this viii not rstsrd but lend IN
impetus 70 the forward movsment taking place
in the world. Steam and the electric telegraph
have united the nations of Europe ~ one IA
mily; improvement advances with giant pace
the various communities are emul0us to lead
the van In the march of civilization and social pro-
gress; thefetters OF commerce and the impediments
to che intercourse Of nations have been in great
part removed. At the same time, there 10 in many
parts Of Europe, and no where more marked than
in the British isles, surplus population; in Aus
traha and America, thousands Of miles Of guiltless
cultivation. The gold mines will do much to
bring those two together with the facilities OF To-
comotion that man now possesses: Many. urged on
by the anrs sacra fumes will perish in the search
Of the pioneers, the forlorn hope, not few may be
left upon the ground; but the main body will gain,

the French people will decide, by an immense ma-
