serhans nothing suggests to an intelligent mind
more clearly lie extent tile resources and the innate
ower Of selfsupport that appertans TO these
states, than view of their produc lions.
Considerthe nationalites Of Europ Is ahun-
dant i'll agricultural ducts one in manufactures
one in commerce. and another in something else but
none Of them can accomplish all Of these things.
ENGLAND does not raise the flourshe consumes Span
manufacturers comp i've nothing. france pro-

luxury she consumes The United States comprehends
Of these nations md their more,
she SURPRISES many Them in their chosen fields q
labor besides teaching and perectng other branches
in which they are not expert.
Our cereal productions surpass those Of Russia and
the Danubian prneipalites, once called the granarie
E Of the world. We grow our own food, and have
plenty to feed our fellow men, as was markedly wit
messed during the Irish famine few years since, and
which is further put beyond question by every years
statistics Our merchant marine unfods the stars and
stripes in every sea- SO to speak, the carrying trade
of the world is ours. Our ships carry tea from China
and British India to England. During the Eastern
war our ships transported French and English troops
to and from the Crimea. We impregnate English
looms with vitality with cotton and have loco
motives running over European, aye, over English
railways by the side of which are planted posts sup
porting our telegraph wires Our rifles and reyolvers
armed both parties in the late war and physicians
assisted in healing the wounds inflicted by them Our
explorers investigate and South until the poles
are nearly reached while our whaers tow home their
sttdiscoyeryo ships.
HI Our lakes supply their ice, and our wool warns
their backs, in whose stomachs wheat is creating
the fuel of life Our writers record their histories
our gold is used in their minis our iron is exported
for their foundres and our naidens make their most
beautiful wives
Our preachers trench on their theology, and our
metaphyscians on their philosophy. We furnish the
raw material for every thng-from beans to boomers
They, like cunning workmen they are, do what
and altering is needful for our plea
sure or comfort; and we pay them for it in bread
4 gold, as they choose.
Having sullnounted all the necessaries of life hav
ing fought and defeated our cis-Atlantc brethren
having fed them; having aided and instructed them
we engaged in Wrestling from them their old
nown in works of art, and those achievements which
are usually the results Of time only. None of them
can boast Of q more spirited tune than Yankee
u Doodle and we doubt ifany have, or will ever have
4 Ia more gumbolike poem than " Hiawatha.'
Il Just now, to add to our other manifold doings, we
derful grandathers, in no Esopian sense and shaking
olives in their faces in to surprise epicures
One Of our California exchanges says, that the olive
tree will flourish in all but the mountain districts OF
that State; at San Louis Obispe there some very
large trees growing upon the old mission grounds
d The value of the olive crops in Italy, Spain, Paes
tine and other Mediterranean countries is immense,
& and the fact should stimulate California farmers to
II obtain share of the trade in an article that can be
50 easily produced upon the productive soil of that
. State.
4 What we shall eventually do with the children of
Europe, remains to be SEEM the question for us to
solve appears to be, whether shall subject them
with Colts revolVers aid them with AIcCormcks
5reapng machine. They are in the way, and we must
necessarily dispose of them. At all events, they must
be more grateful than they are and not stand in the
pathof manifest destiny either here Or in Nicaragua,
4 or there is no saying what will become of them.
