HE WHOLE STORY IN NUTsHEIL.--The Alba
ny Knickcrbocker, under the head of independence
and Progress tells the whole story of our nations
birth and greatness, and progress in the arts and
sciences, in remarkably short paragraph for ~
theme so comprehensive. The style is rather racy,
but decidedly to the point:
1t is scventy-seven years ago. to-day, since Tn
Gle Sam was born and what an eventful seventy
seven years they have been. Seventy years
ago the United States was remote circumstance,
they now compose the second commercial nation in
the world. In three quarters of century they
have revoutionized the world, built up an empire
licked their mother, and fenced in u ccntincnt.--
In less time than it took NIathuselah to get out OF
swaddling clothes, we have made more canals, ta-
med more lightning, and harnessed more steam, and
at greater cost in money than the whole revenues
of the world could have paid for the day he got out
of his time In seventy five years we have not only
changed the politics of the EARTH but its wearing
apparelcotton shirts being as much the offspring
of the United States as ballot-boxes and Democro-
cy. Since the fourth of July l776, the whole world
has been to school, and, what is better, has learned
more common sense than taught in the previ-
GUS four thousand years. The problem of self gov
ernment has been solved, and its truth made i'm
mortal as Washington yellow corn. Its adapta-
ton to all the wants of the most aspiring nation
has been made most signally manifest. Under its
harmonious working, Republic has grown up in
an ordinary life time that would have taken any
other system of government thousand years to
have brought about. Yes, in less time than it has
taken greenhouse plants to arrive at maturity
we have built nation that has spread itself from
Main to Mexico, from the Atlantic to the Pacific
a nation that has caught more whales, licked moro
Mexicans, planted more telegraph posts, and owns
more steamboats, than any nation that has ever iv-
ed or ever will live. For all this, again say,
thank God and praise Thomas Jefferson ~
