We Americans are fond of excitement.
Everything with US goes upon the head
long, high pressure, 81. DO principle
There is no chance for slow coaches here,
and the drowsy, rubyour-e eyes-in the
morning sort of people are unceremonous'
Iy brushed aside. Locomotives that do less
than their thirty miles an hour are thrown
aside as old iron, and captains of steam-
boats 'rili crowd up their boats into a
twenty>knot pace. even if they have to sit
astride the safety valves TO make them 90
at this killing speed. 1t has been said that
to mind once used TO the hcndpay Of this
Continent, the Old World is a slagnant
pond, and this is running, sparkling water.
The fact is. Jonathan has good deal Of
the snapping-turtle in his composition, and
wants always, like Peter Rugg, to "push
along, keep moving" 1t is TO this restless
ness and londness of excitement. which
enters so largely into the national character,
that we may attribute in great measure
the slave agitation and other controversies
which have shaken the land TO its centre.
There must be in this country some vent.
hole-some safety.valve or scape-pipe-
for passion and feeling. The Oregon and
North eastern Boundary disputes, the
Texan and Mexican Wars, the Cuba Ex-
pedtion, and the California excitement, all
prove this. What we seem to want most
now is combination for some gigantic pro-
jecl OF conquesl-say that OF the Antilles
and the British Provinces would
swallow up all our sectional quarrels in its
own maels,rom tide, and knit our cen,rilu.
gal forces together. Like the pugllistic
kentnckian, we have been long "spllng
for fight" and so have turned our weap-
ons upon each other. After few years OF
hard fighting with John Bull, or hand TO-.
hand slrggle with England and Spain, per.
haps even the "Cameronian fanatics" Of
the North and the Ho'spurs OF the South
might not reluct at shaking hands with each

drubbings received in its behalf, migA,

After all, however. II must be confessed
that our love OF excitement causes far less

point Of being ruined-hung 'renbingiy
on the very brink OF destruc;ion--ever since
its foundation. 1t has been nearly ruined,

National Debt. AS an exchange felic!Ious-
ly observes:-'It never is, but alwayato be,

pied on the Con slltu,ion, until it has not a
bone in its body unbroken. Yet it has rls-

John Barlycorn, and after each new adver>
si,y, keeps going, like the cork leg, the

ment succeeds another, and many a real
wrong is left unredressed in the cloud OF
dust which is raised about some new sub
ject.

that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
