that, despite the rampant horrors OF democ-
racy, the New World proceeds with quite
as much satisfaction to itself and its denl-
zens as the Old World can. And the Co.
vernment of this wild Republic, maugre the
charges made against 1t by its own citizens,
has contrived to hold very respectable po-
sition abroad and to maintain its ascendency
at home. The perpetuity of republican in i.
