Position and Influence Of the Jeles.-The ex-
istence of the Jews is the living miracle of the
world They are scattered and down trodden,
and vet according to the most accurate statis-
ties, are as numerous as they were when they
left the land of Egypt, the returns made to Be-
napart giving abo1t three mil ions. Expatriaa
ted they become citizens of the world; and
wherever tolerated they commence tra6c and
become thrifty. Everywhere they are at home.
They NAV be banished, but cannot be expelled;
be trodden down, yet cannot be crushed. Only
in the United States, France, Holland, and
Prussia are they fully citizens; but in spite Of
British statutes, the Russian ukas and Turkish
curse, they prosper sill. The great nations of
antiquity, the Egyptians and As5yrians, the
Romans and Saracens, as well as the modern
Turks and Christians, have attempted to dea
stroy them, but in vain; while penar, laws and
cruel tortures have only served to ikltease their
number and reinforce their obstinacy.
But the Jews exist not only as monuments
and a miracle: Jewish mind has exerted pow
erful influence on the world. Favored by Ma
poeon, the Heprew race at once developed pow
er which had never been suspected. SOult, Ney,
Massena. who thus altered his name from Man,
nassau. to escape the odium, of being an Israe-
lite. were all Marshals of France under the eye
of the greatest warriors Of his age. In politics
the Jews have Metternich in Austria, D'Israel
in ENGLAND. a convert to the Christian faith,
while the Autocrat of Russia has had Jew
for his confidential counsellor, and Spain
Prime Minister of the same race, and Russia,
her Minister of Finance. In the United States,
Jews begin to figure in our national councils;
Mr.. Yulee, late member of the House, and Mr..
Soule, recently Senator from Louisiana, being
of the Hebrew stock. Mr.. CIemieux, one of tie
Of what ua
should call Attorney General upon the flight of
Louis Philippe.
In money power the Jews hold in their hands
the destiny Of Kingdoms and empires, whose
government become bankrupt, and their sover-
eigns turn beggarS at a Hebrews nod. Half q
dozen Jews can do more to preserve the peace
of Europe by sitting behind their desk, and
persisitingly saying No! to the royal applicants
for money, than all the Peace Congresses and
Conventions in Chrstendom. The Rothschilds,
the Earrings and Sir John Mon;eiere, are all
Jews, and with their banking establishment
scattered over Europe and Asia, weld q sceptre
more powerful than mOnarchs hold.
Coming to the literary profession, and inquir
ing into the lineage Of many of the most dis
tincuished scholars and men of sceince, we find
the Jews prominent here as well as in acltiv
life. The most renowned in Astronomy have
been the Jews, as the Herschels, in England
and Arago in France, the Astronomy royal I'M
der Louis PHILIPPE, and who has filed the world
with his fame Those German works which
are deluging the world are for the most part
the production of Cmistianized Jews, as those
of Hengstenberge. Tholuck, Sehleirmacher,
Gresenius, Neander Nebuhr, and others, whose
learned treaties; Biblical criticisms, ddactic
theology and general sacred literature, are found
in the library of every Theological Seminary
and in the hands of every theological student
Spinoza, the famous infdel, was jew, and so
are Ronge and Czerski, who took the lead Of
new religious reformation in Germany in our
day.
Such have been and are the Jews Mysterious
nationl Inexplicable eHigmal living, per
petually omnipresent miracleE A race so III
domitable, so imperishable, must have been
rasd up and preserved for some grand purpose.
