and moral strength sufficient, it may be said, to
give the law to Europe, her geographical sta
ture, compared with Russia stands as one to
one hundred and twenty; to Austria as one to
nine: to France as one to five and half: to
the United States as one to ninety-six. In this
view, the actual condition of the people of
country would seem to embrace all that is
necessary to understand their real strength and
resources while their territory. greater or less,
serves only as a basis upon and by the aid OF
which to expand their moral and physical
powers. That England has developed ell her
resources in connection with her geographical
limits, and has reached well towards the
end of her physical and moral power, is quite
apparent. She can sit down. like Burke and
almost exultantly exclaim, Il have had my
day and run my race-whether for good or evil
let the world judge" She has occupied the
highest seats of learning and philosophy Her
judicial records centre ofequality of every
people-attest at once the grandeur of her poll
tical system and its power to protect the weak
against the Entertainments Of the strong. In
other points of her administrative practice she
has been equally successful. England, whose
government rests upon Asatic principle--the
essential doctrines of immobility-has never
theless been the ooont courier of civilization,
and the willing or unwilling patron Of social
and political reforms. She now stands, in the
expressive language of the day, the break
water to meet and dash back the angry waves
Of Eastern despotsm- And this, be it remem-
bered, is effected by the superior development
Of her physical and moral power-that power
which now constitutes, whatever may lie said
the true arbiter Of nations, presided over, coun.
selled and directed by the spirit of freedom.
No man acquainted with European history
will deny that England is indebted for her
strength mainly, If not wholly, to the admirable
industry, economy and enterprise, of her labor
ing interests. They have elevated her power,
and strengthened her just influence with all
nations, by the only certain and reliable means
ever placed at the disposal Of people TO effect
such an end. Each truth elected by such
means hash an Interpreter of the next, and
