Eloquent Extract.

The following very eloquent passage, in rela-
ton to Africa, we extract from the address of
EDWARD EVERETT, the present Secretary of State
before the American Colonization Society, re-
Gently, in New York. In speaking of the i'm
practicabity, if not impossibility, of civilizing
the continent of Africa by white men, he said;
say again, Sir, you Caucasian, you pzoud
Anglo-Saxon, you self-sufficient, all-attemptng
white man, you can not civilize Africa You have
subdued and appropriated Europe; the native
races are melting before you in America, the
untimely SHOWS of April before the vernal sun
you menace China and Japan; the remotest isles
of the Pacific are not distant enough to escape
your grasp, nor insignificant enough to elude your
notice. but Central Africa caRfronts you, and bids
defiance Your squadrons may range, or block
ade her coast, but neither the efrands of peace
or the errands ofwar, can you penetrate to the
interior. The God of Nature, no doubt for wise
purposes, however isscrutable, has drawn across
the chief inlets a Gordon you can not break
through. You may hover on the coast, but you
dare not set foot on shore. Death sits portess at
the undefended gateways of her fnud-built vii
lages-yellow and intermittent fevers, blue
plaques, and posons; that you can see well as
feeE await your approach. As you ascend the
rivers, pestilenee shoots from the mangroves that
fringe their noble banks, and the glorious sun;
which kindes all inferior nature into teeming;
bursting life, darts disease into your languid sys
tenn. No, you are not elected for this momentous
work. The great disposer, in another branch of
His family, has chosen out a race-deseendants
of this torrd region, children of this vertical sun
and fitted them, by ages of stern discipline. for
the gracious achievement
From foreign realms and Lands remote, supported by hi
care,
They pass, unharmed, through burning elimes, breathe
the tainted ar.''

Discomfort IN EURoPE.--An American gentle
man, writing to the Boston journal from Paris con-
firms what every intelligent traveller in Europe
must have observed. He says:
ssIn Austria despotism is doing its work; by
pushing matters too far she is preparing trouble
for herselfin the future, and that future not o
very remote one. I affirm as the result Of per-
sonal knowledge, that there is not province of
Austria that is not discontented. Italy is but one
mass of conspiraeies5 and the beheading of doz-
en- censprators, but calls into existence ten times
that number. Hungary is quiet, butts only the
quiet off temporary exhaustion, rendered more
necessary by the hordes Of the Gar still hover
ing on her borders. The Slavonie provinces, the
supporters of Austria in her struggle with Hun
gary, are murmuringj Bohemia is discontented,
and Tyro1ese, that noble people, whose patriot
ism and whose courage have become proverbial,
who in 1s4S received with cutstretched arms the
Emperor flying from his capital, are now ready to
Join any movement which shall present pros
pect of freeing them from the enormous burdens
under which they are grooming"
