In word, before year has passed the republic may
be in war with Spain or Mexico or have even already

To speak frankly all this looks like joke, and Mr..

Translated the ~ Y HERALD from lie Pays Nov 16
The state Of affairs produced in the United States and
throughout the two continents Of America by financial
also al the consequences and effects OF
every kind necessarily resulting from these financial
events, are at The present moment the great object Of
consideration and discussion both in France and England
Each person who reflects upon effects
they have produced forms his opinion and draws his
illusions according to his own peculiar political theories
and principles. The great crisis which has occurred
is viewed by different parties from wholly different
points Of view Al one time men and circumstances are
accused being the OF the crisis at another time
its is attributed to popularity Of national nst
tutions and popular habits In Europe, however, and in
its old States people are carried along by the
crisis without being able 10 foresee when 1t will end,
and led 10 make comparisons and form opinions which
substantially erroneous and incorrect One danger,
and that the least danger of such incorrect views and
opinions that gives Use to want oil confidence and
TO fears when there Is occasion for such thing
there should exist some slight cause for fear tends TO
magnify and increase II in most undue proportions
Now, appears 10 that in the various comparisons
made and In the parallel cases sought TO be established,
people do not sufficiently take into consideration the
and immcasurabc difference Of institutions and
manners AMI customs which exist between the people of
the Old and New World These differences arc OF such
nature that they render happy impossibty for the
several States Of Europe ever 10 undergo the same
ca'astrophes and crises which fall periodically upon
America. This s matter highly TO the advantage of
Europe, for crises such the impending
America tend greatly 10 the rctardaton OF the onward
progress of human society and civilization.
To prove concusvcy what have here affirmed IL
Will be sufficient for 10 lay before readers
few historical cases in point, which viii fully establish our
premises

America Now we would ask have these various crises
taught any useful the people who have suffered
from themS No. they have not in the least
crises have been produced by the very in

and from the mad deveopement and imitation Of mercan

enterprises have been for the part entered into with

had foundation to- rest upon.
In America that great and magnificent land which God
has given TO men, where there immense lands aud
territories open for CIVILIZATIONS where there Is no lack Of

has been the OF difficulties and embarrassments

has ker place 70 form some opinion OF the difference Of
institutions and OF our manners and CUSTOMS and to
appreciate the excellence of that reign OF authority and

all these, most sssuredly the one Of February,
