incidentally touching upon American affairs,
took occasion to contrast the condition and
prospects of the Union with tn, Sc of Great
Britain. Among other things it says:
Contemplate England, grooming with tax
alton, and struggling in sanguinary war,
with her trade deranged, her populace discon-
tented, her government the corrupt machine
OF an Oligarchy and her revenues squandered for
she knows not what--and contrast her with
America-the America that British Cabinet
Ministers treat with so much Indifference,
whose statesmen are cutivating the arts OF
peace and whose commerce is gathering gold
en- harvest to the nation She it is that stands
boldly forward in her civil greatness: she it is
that presents striking contrast to the mill
tary despotisms OF Europe; she it is that
with her two thousonl mics Of unguarded
coast, her unwalled cities. her meagre navy
combines within herself the elements necessary
to great military nation. Peace reigns at
her fres;de; her throne is not in mourning
Her legislators are devisng means to relieve
an Overlooking treasury. her trade is vigorous,
her people are increasing beyond comparison
in wealth. Her government is at least cheap
