To enter into any comparison f the well-knit, ex pansive energies of America with tlie diirani2- d turbulence of France, the torpid chaos ot Germany, or the drcrepHuoe ami imbecility or Italy, would be doin; injury to lbs subject. The only nation whkh ii would not be degrading to America to aet beside ber lor any purposes of comparison, is Eugland. And wonderful as that little island in many respects is, bo American become nearly aequaialed with a society o which he has ail his life heard seen marvels, without hi spirit swelling with a kind of surprised and indignant exultation at tbe its ports nee and dignity lo which hi own abused country rises, when viewed in connection with thai boosted and boasting land. D ffering in veiy many thing, inferior in scarce any, equal in most, and far superior ia seme, America want but the same advantage of circutnsiance to leave the mother island fr behind her. Before any just measure ortho-comparative greatness of the two cau be taken, they must be reduced, aa the mathematicians say, to a common denominator. You most make allowance for the immense advan tage which England derives from her superior age. Hers is the oldest undeeayed civilization in Eu. rope. She is at this moment at tbe very climax and perlection of ber matured rigour. America cannot yet be said to be fully under way ; more than hair the strength which she might devote to tbe improvement id her condition, being now direc ted to the acquisition of new fields of exertion.

At thnt day to the people of the Esst, Ohio and Ken tucky; were -"the W est V whilst In those it-Mes "the West was understood to be, the compafa lively unexplored reg-ioa West of ihe Ohio. 'But since then loJisns has grown to be a great State, with iu million of inhabitants, and ita surface chequered all over with railroads. Illinois bas now 850,000 sou! within ' iu territory, and is marching with giant strides on the road to wealth and greatness. Missouri bas also nearly seven hundred thousand inhabitant, and withiu a few years will have double that number. ' Iowa, ' too, which was then the abode of savages, bas since entered the Jamily of States, and will eoon be one of the most powerful amongst them. The same may be said of Wisconsin and Michigan ; and even now wo have new Stales In embry., still farther West and North. Minnesota and Nebraska will soon be adding new stars to oar national flag, whilst Utah and New Mexico will not iinger on the way. ' With this vast increase of population in thd West, have come all the elements of a high civilizdtiou Large cities have grown up, diffus ing Ufa and energy into all the ramifications of commerce. Extensive farms have been opened, and improved modes of agriculture introduced. fc'cliool houses and churches have been erected ia every neighborhood. Steamboats have penetrated every navigable stream, whilst railroads are about to traverse m- a H directions mrr fore-ts and prairies. Toe telegraph has abolmhed the space that before separated us from rhe ret of mankind ; so thit we of St. Lout can be informed in.au hnur of events thai have transpired ia the most distant part of the republic. It has now reached the borders of the Indian domain , and it will not be long until ihe Pacific railroad will astonish the red n.en with ihe whistle of the steam car. In time pat, when referring to "ihe West," there was associated with it in the minds f the Eas tern people, some-vague, undefined idea of vast distance, gloomy forests, trackless deserts, log huU, savage, uncouth men and barefoot women. But the telegraph, railroads, and steamboats bave dispelled all these illusions. They bare abrogated urue ana space, ana placed us ia close luxtapost. tion with New York and Boston. Thev have a a- a s a SkA m mm m anoiisneo -ine we " in its former sense, and new wa bare no -West, except it be amongxt tin oamancue and Appacnes on the borders of New Mexico. "The Wei" hat travelled westward wi h noparal eled expedition. But our enterpri ing oountrvmeo have concluded to put an end to ih Deexrinations of "the West." and ia "Kai! it off" by a coup & nsous. Saiiins around Corje Horn, they have taken possession of. the Paafic coast, and are now advancing eastward. Before "the West" gets lialf-wsy to the Pacifiic, it will be intercepted by the reflux of the tide of popnl i tion from that direction. It is bow in fact suffer. ing from a fire in front, as well aa "in the rear." and before it ha lime to take "a hasty plate of S . -SS B m " " m s up, ii win nnu nsett completely Itan decontrol. In fact, since the acquisition of California and th discovery of its golden treasures, we regard it as set iled, that we are no longer to have a "Weal" in its former sense. We shall, we hope, have no East, West, North, or Souril ; but one msgeScent domain,' bounded by the St. Lawrence -Off" the North, the Alantic on the east, the Gulf of Mexico oh ihe suntli, and the Pacific on the westi but divided by no actional or geographical name. The telegraph, railnwdi, and ieam vessels will abolish, we trust, all lical pmlousies, as they have aire ay anninuaiea time and space.
