EupiSe.. She was discovered May Sd, 1900, ey
Pinoon, became Colony Of Portugal, alinos; the
sm allcst king dom in Europe; and SO jealous was
that country Of this brightest jewol in her crown,
that she utterly excluded her from all intercourse
with the rest of the .uorld until 1893, when by
| the invasion of tho Trench, the Portuguese Re-
/ gent was compelled to Ay his Kingdom with tho
royal insignia, and take up hi, residence in this
much abused dependency. In consequence Of tho
royal residence, the ports Of Brazil; were thrown;
open to the commerce of the world. In21S15 sho

domeof Portugal Algariee and Brazil. In 1872
she declarsd,;hor Independence Of Portugal, and
| in 1926, after having been acknowledged by other
statos of Europe and America, her Independence
was acquisscedqin by Portugal herself, and she
Cook her rank among tao sovereign ipewers Of the

Since then,, she has run tho race of empire With
1.-The most prosperous of nations, and has distaneed
al competitor. except the United States Of North
5Amsrica. Her population has rapidly Increased
! from about two to seven ,millisns; her commerce
has doubled -everyt ten years; she has Tanquished

ling and her credit is equal to that Of England
herself while she is hOnored, beloved, and trusted
by all Nations. s. ~.
Looking ut such transcsndanS results, II IS nat
ur.l for us to inquire by what agencies the Al
mighty has brought them about. And these ,agen-,
clos, as we'll as the finger of kind Providoncs,.
are apparent in, tho admirable Coh'titutior and
Government of the country. All the other South
American, Central American, and srsn North
American Oolonies,of Spanish origin, were; run
Wild with notions of freedom and democracy:
Thoy attempted to oinitato tho political system Of
the United States, in opposition to the genius and
quali6cationsof thsir inhabitants, and the tradi-
tions Of tHeif races The consequences has been,
Revolutions and Pronunciapentos Nitheutnum-
Der; wars, instructions, bloodshod, murder, rob-
berry, rapinc; ruin and decay. Tho councia
Of Brazil, on the contrary, werc directed ib5 eu-
premo wisdom. They consulted history, the c1-
psrience Of mankind and the. capabilitise, tastes
and habits of their people. The government ia |
a limited or Constitutional. monarchy. Theleromn
