Richmond daily Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1842-1861, 1853-10-07


Iy- We said on yesterday, that this was an age
Of progress, and indicated in what direction and
whittier we thought it ought to progreSs. Not GER
tainy in infringing the rights or in,cmcddlIus vial
the social political concerns Of other nations Be-
il is not right morally to do souor Is 10
cording the spirit Of the Constitution and govern
mental policy bequeathcd to nor Is il cNpedcn,
inasmuch have quite enough to do TO attend u
own social domestic and political affairs. The
SAVIOUR Of our eXamplc-f are true to Ouriorrn ~
government and the policy which las sprung out Of
it, and if true to oursclycs-will DO more to
onlighten the eyes of less favored nations and TO
cure to them ultimately the blessings Of free govern
ment, than all the intervention that kossuth IN h',
widest yAgarics ever dreamed, all the administering
that the unfortunate and niscuidcd npar could have
achieved in life time. We no believers IA ior,od
propagandisn either in the name OF Morals Religion
or freedom 1t generally defeats its own olivot IN,
instances in history to the contrary are rare Alloy,
all have no faith in pr'p7-atu- rational freedom
among the nations of the ear,h 10y any of the mod.
ern Democratic formular,s. We have quite AZ much
faith-and with quite rs much reason u the Elixir
of Ducamara or the pills called Brandctts

No two men are alikc--no two think alike onar sub
jects. nor act alike SO Of nations. Each of the va
ricd races and nations into which Ia. human family
are subdiydcd have their peculiar traits and ait,-

ton. ana even christianity does not eaasc the, dis
tingushing characteristic. A form Of government
fitted for one nation AMI for which that ration is it,
may prove totally unacceptable or iupracusallc 10
another. How idle then the project Of rayishinc tt
enslaved subjects of despot.>n wish a form OF gov
ernment and laws which thcy either reject with
scorn, or which when fairly leIcklci on their BAL s,
they have not strength to carry. and so stumble, az
fall into condition still more rcmcdylcsz. n
idea so opposed to all reason and observation. so wi
of all history can find place only In the unr.uouu

and everything to gan-mcn who would fire a urw

the sacred vessels Of brass and Of g6ll.
The truth is, there is room q. least FOR d54Jt-lo5h-
ing at the past-whclhar form of government like
our own would bcdt Che other nations of the ea.th
