Our Country.

We extract from late number of tba
Philadelphia American Merchant, the fol.
lowing just and beautiful remarks:
How much have Americans to be proud
Of in the past, and how much need to bs
grateful for the blessings Yhowered on
their country. While Europe has been
conyulsed with wars, and the blood Of
thousands Of her bravest sons poured
t"urthlike water in order that despots NAV
extend their deadly sway. America hes
been cultivating the arts of peace, and
her children have been bountifully reap.
ing the fruits Of their industry. Republi.
can Institutions are each year more finn.
y established over the broad continent:
and liberty has made her homo in our
midst.
1t Is meet that we should set apart .
season to dwell upon the glories of the
past no country IN the history Of the
world has been so favored by Heaven, no
land has risen so rapidly to the first rank
as this; her ships sail on every sea and
trade in every port; science and litera-
ture manufactures, commerce and agri.
culture have all united to make her great
and glorious, and cause her to become tho
land Of promise to the old world.
To preserve our liberties intact we must
cherish them all our days. No luke
warm attachment will suffice. Freedom
OF conscience, freedom ofaction and free.
dom Of speech must ever be maintained.
Neglect Of one or more of these prscepts
caused the decline of every ancient nation,
and will ever be fatal to the prosperity Of
people. History is the beacon that
should guard us from the errors Of the
past, and justice the guide that should
lead us to the glories Of the future.
That future is eminently hopeful
Clouds may hang over our Southern sky
but they will disperse and leave the at
clear and healthful. With free
schools for our children and free press
for our people we may hail the future
with confidence and Joy.
