The Year of 1851. ,-'''
The year just passed presents few events
of startling character, and but few of those
occurrences which arrest, in marked man
ner, the attention of the world. The most
remarkable facts Of the year are those which
have had direct bearing upon the social and
moral condition man, and the promotion of
the arts of Peace rather that those of War.
The great event of the year, for which it viii
be marked in history, is the grand Industrial
Exhibition at London in which works of art,
brought from all parts of the world, and rep
resenting at one view the present industrial
capabilities and progress of the race, and
which were estimated to be worth five hun
dred millions of dollars, were collected in an
edifice which was itself the most magnificent
of all the creations Of genius and of art
The impulse given to the industrial interests
of the world cannot be estimated, while its
silent but restless influence in impressively
teaching its sublime lesson of Brotherhood
and Peace to the nations of the world will
doubtless yet be seen in the rusty sword and
the shattered spear. if e 27'-'
In political events the two prominent are
the Liberation of Kosssuth, and the profound
sensation which he has produced in Great
Britain and America, and the just now exc
cuted coup d'etat of Louis Napoleon, by which
he has usurped the authority and the execu-
tive responsibility of Dictator. d5 Ea
Minor affairs have marked the course of
the year In China revolutionary attempt
is constantly agtating the people. In India
two or three triiing changes have been made.
In Europe, the state of unrest is shown by the
frequency of outbreaks and afrays between
soldiers and people, but which have little or
no historical Importance. A similar state of
things exist in the Mexican, Central Ameri-
can, and South American States. where rev.
olutions are improvised by a sort of efferves-
cling spontaniety. They cause bloodshed,
disturb the harmony and industry of the peo-
pie, and as they make no step forward in the
right direction, the incubus only settles back,
heavier than before. 'a1s -
The protracted and miserable war of the
British in Kaffraria, by which great and
powerful and Christian nation tramples out
the lives of few naked Bushmen at an i'm
mense expenditure of men and money, to
obtain the possession of the few fertile spots
left them, is foul blot on the noon of the
nineteenth century. The outlay of any one
month, properly expended as purchase mo-
ney, would have bought the whole territory,
before British tyranny and annexation plant
ed the seed which bears such bloody harvest.
The discovery of gold in Austrilia opens a
new era in the history of that Continent
The opening of the Canal and Railroad ia
cilitating transit from the Atlantic to the Pa
cifc waters, is of no little value as an agent
in civilization and progress.
An unusual number of severe storms and
earthquakes have occurred, causing the de-
struction of large number of cities, towns
and villages. Another painful peculiarity in
the events of the last year, is the very many
distinguished men in all parts of the world
who have died. 4 ss71ls
The year 1852, unless appearances deceive,
will be more fruitful in important events
Both in Europe and in the United States his
tory will receive important additions from it;
Its doings will profoundly affect the well
fare of the race for good or for evil. 1t will
be year of tumult. Lovers quiet-haters
of agitation-w1ll take little delight in it,
Men will fight for their rights against pow
er. The struggle will disturb society, and
vex the adorers of order. Still it will result
in good order to man. ice to{ e Lald3og slsa
Something, let us hope, will be done in the
coming year to elevate and improve the con-
dition of man. Each one has it in his power
to aid the great work of social Improvement.
Let no selfish love ofease,--no false and cow
arGIy fears Of commotion and strife,- prevent
any one from doing his duty, calmly and with
prudential moderation, butsfrmly and with
courageous energy. National well being de-
pends always upon individual exertion. aoA
