Position AND INFLUENCE OF THE jews
The existence of the Jews is the living
miracle of the world They are scatter

the most accurate statistics, are az numer-
Gus as they were when they left the land
OF Egypt, the returns made to Bonaparte
giving about three millions. Extirpated
they become citizens Of the world; and
wherever tolerated they commence traffic
and become thrifty. Everywhere they
are at home. They may be banished
but cannot be expelled; be trodden down.
yet cannot be crushed. Only in the Uni

are they fully citizens; but in spite Of Bri--
tish statutes, the Russian ukas and Turkish
curse, they prosper still The great na-

as the modern Turks and Christians, hav,
attempted to destroy them, but in vain :
while penal laws and cruel torturos have
only served to increase their number and
reinforce their obztinacy.
But The Jews exist not only rs a mona-

Favored by Napoleon, the Hebrew race

been suspected. Soult. Ney, and Mas

nassau, to escape the odium Of being an
israelite, were Marshals OF France under
the eye OF the greatest warrior of his age.
In politics the Jews have Metternich IN

In money power the Jews hold in their
hands the destiny of kingdoms and en-

do more to preserve the peace of Europe
by sitting iehind their desk, and persist
lpgly saying No. to the royal applicants
for money, than all the Peace Congresses
and Conventions in Christendom. The
kothschilds, the Barings, and Sir John
Montefiore, are all Jews, aud with their

Coming to the literary profession, and
