A YEAR OF PROGRESS.

The year of 1869 will ever be memo
rable in the worlds history 1t has
been a year of progress. In it has been
exemplified, the proyerb, Peace has her
victories, no less renowned than war;
This progress has been political, me-
chanical, and commercial. The Pacific
Railway, entirely completed, and a mon
ument TO our mechanical and CONNER
cial enterprise, finds it's counterpart in
politics in the admission Of all but three
States into the Union again. The French
have built the Suez Canal and abolished
personal government DR.. LIvINGsToNE
has discovered the source of the Nile,
and BURL1NeAME has battered down the
walls of exclusivencss that for thou
sands of years have kept .outside barba
rians' out of China, and opened aven-
ues for civilization to penetrate the cell
estial empire. Europe is progressing
toward Re epublican forms of govern
ment. In France and Austria the ten
dency to liberal government is marked.
Italy has not stood still. England has
promulgated important reforms, the ex-
tension of suffrage and the disestanlish-
ment of the Irish church being the most
notable. and we trust we may add an
other generous and just measure before
the holiday festivities shall have ceased,
to-wit: Amnesty TO the Fenian prisoners
Spain promised we'll, but performs-not
at all. but the nucleus Of a Republican
party was formed which we hope may
obtain power. The year in which Bour-
bon uttered the sentiment that sthe uni
versal tendency is toward rebublic' is
worthy OF remembrance.
Not the least notable events of the
year that is past are the reforms in the
administration Of our public affairs. and
the wonderful reduction Of our public
debt We begin the new year with
many auguries Of hope, both for our
selves and the world. May We continue
to be the recipients of the rich bless
ings of Providence this year as we were
the last.
