wrought such wonders in the increase Of a
people, the improvement of all the appli-
ances and faeilities of industry. and the
advanccment 81 a nation. Never before has
there been 50 steady and stately progress
in human affairs. 1t passes before the view
hike some magic procession Of giant events.
1t awakens contemplations too large for
perfect comprehension. A people govern
ed by no rules but of their own choice,
submitting to no code but Of their own max
ing. spreading over continent and gov
erning hemisphere, possessed of an ex-
pansiveness that recognizes no limits, and
quickened by an energy that recoils at no
resistance, how can it be but that, in the
! time to come, the whole world must feel
the imperial presence of such power
and yield to an influence, that can scarcely
be less than omniprescnt Who can tell,
but, that in some distant day, the American
Government may become, by the silent in
huences of its political system, the propa.
gator Of a higher and wider civilization
than the world has everknown-the found
err Of an universal Republcanism.
In regarding such results, we would
fam shut from our view all that might dim
the prospect. We would forget, if we
could, the shocks which our system of
government has lately received. We
would, fit were possible, look beyond
the clouds, which have lowered over our
Union, and which though broken, still hang
IN dark and threatning fragments around
the horizon. Can it be, that the puny eff
forts OF misguided men shall defeat what
Providence seems tohave designed? Shall
this great system of states, be dissolved by
the hot breath of fanaticism Can this
mighty Republic be arrested in its onward
and upward career, and turned by traitor
hands, into the dark and devious pathway
to ruin. We will not think it, but cling to
the belief, that that system is held by
bonds which will not break, and that this
Republic, in spite of fanaticism and trea-
son, will still sweep on in its orbit, with a
momentum that cannot be resisted, until its
great mission on earth is accomplished.

| ~ A writer in the National Intelligent
Ger claims for Mr.. James Bogardus of New
York, the credit of inventing the style OF
building of which the Crystal Palace is the
only example in England. In 1896, he
made fruitless efforts in England to obtain
capital for carrying out his conception
In 1910, after visiting the continent, he re.
turned home, and soon was enabled to set
up his splendid establishment in New
York city, where the manufacture of cast
iron houses has become a business of great
extent and importance. The Crystal Pal
ace is therefore a brilliant answer to the
ridicule which the London papers (the
Chronicle excepted attempt to throw upon
the share of the United States in the great
Exposition. The style however is regard
