The Albany Knickerbocker, under the head of
story of our nations birth and greatness, and
progress in the arts sciencies in remarkable
short paragraph for theme comprehensive.
The style is rather racy, but decidedly to the
point:
"It is seventy-seven years ago to-day, since
Uncle Sam was born, and what an eventful sew
enty-seven years they have been! Seventy
seven years ago the United States was remote
circumstance; they now compose the second COM
mercial nation in the world. In three-quarters
of century they have revoutionized the world,
built up an empire, licked our mother and fenced
in a continent. In less time than it took Methu-
selah to get out of swadding clothes we have
made more canals, tanned more lightning and har-
messed more steam, and at a greater cost in
money than the whole revenues of the world
could have paid for the day he got out his time.
In seventy-seven years we have not only chang
ed the politics of the earth, but its wearing
apparel--cotton shirts being as much the off
spring of the United States as ballot-boxes and
democracy. Since the fourth of July, l776, the
who'd world has been to school. and, what is bet
ter, has learned more common sense than was
taught in the previous four thousand years. The
problem of self-government has been solved, and
its truth made immortal as Washington or yellow
corn. It's adoption to all the wants of the more
aspiring nation has been made most signally man
ifest. Under its harmonious working republic
has grown up in an ordinary life time that would
have taken any other system of government a
thousand years to have brought about Yes, in
less time than it has taken some greenhouse
plants to arrive at maturity, we have built ma
ton that has spread itself from Maine to Mexico,
from the Atlantic to the Paciic-a nation that
has caught more whales, licked more Mexicans,
planted more telegraph posts, and owns more
steamboats,, than any nation that has ever lived or
ever will live. For all this we again say, thank
God and praise Thomas Jefferson" .ss
