ihnt nations, like fHniilies, have their
distinctive traits so inherent as to be

hare the migratory and colonial spirit
'strongly implanted in them, and others
have a remarkable attachment lo their
country, nnd nerer seek to leave it or
eniWe its borders.
The present posture of the United
Stains of North America and of the U
nited Mexican Slates, s they are prop
past career ol ihe rnces thus involved
sketches of what might be wrought into
an interesting picture of national char
acter and progress.
. Considerably more than a thousand
years ago there dwelt in tfpnin a raceot
men known as Iberians, who were dis
tinguished among all the Western Na
tions of Kurope for their war like tinHls
and remarkable con rage. .They never
acknowledged the supremacy of Car
thage, which had establish A an Empire
in Spain, but lliey fought as allies and
auxillinrie8 in her armies, and wer4
nought also by the Athenians, to whom
their prowes had ; become' known.
They were no less remarkable for their
courtesy and gallantry to their women.
Rut they had not the higher faculties
of warlike combination which give suc
cess to a campaign, though they had
ihe most untiring resistance to invasion:
and when the masses were routed, small
bodies continued to fight, independent
of each other, at every opportunity.
They were excluded from the Medeter-
ranean coast of Spain, which was pos
sessed by the Phoenicians and Carthnge-
nians, who gave to tho Spaniard his
spirit, of adventurous navigation, but
they possessed the whole interior ol
Spain, and stretched on the Atlantic
coast to the Day of Biscay, whence a
colony has been thought to have settled
on the south western coast of England.
(the modern Cornwall,) and thus joined
their blood to the ancient races of Brit
ain; " ', t ; , V. ; ., ;,,
In the most northern parts of Europe,
and toward the confiues .of Asia, there
dwelt -another race of men known as
Celts, whose Jives were devoted to war
and pillage, in pursuits of which they
were ever leaving their own country,
and pressing into that of their neighbors
sometimes surplanting them, at others
merely subduing them, but alwnys re
maining in the countries they visited and
overrun, j v '
. At the earliest dawn of the history o(
the western nations of Europe, the Celts
had become dispersed over a great part of
that continent; aud ot the l ime cl Julius
l assar, they occupied the principal por
tion of Spain, of Uanl, aud of the ; Brit
ish Isles. In England they were known
as the Anglo-Saxons; in France as the
Gauls; and, in Spaiulhey coalesced wiih
the ancient race of Ihnt country, and
were known as theCeltiberians. When
tlieir numbers predominated in the latter
country, and, by a lonfj career 0! arms,
they had escaped the shipwrecks ol
liberty and religion in the mountains of
Asturius, they geve n more elevated
character to the latter races as in Cas
tile -so that the name of Castilian has
become tho cognomen of aa elevated
Spaniard. ;, .'
v These oflhooU of the Gothic race
were both trained to warlike encounter
with the Romans for mora than two
centuries and finall j , M the power of
that nation declined, they advanced np
on them. The Celts who peopled Eng-
lund. and those who settled in Snmn.
both planted in their new homes ' their
peculiar system of ppHif , and the feudal
system alter vards modified ihenj. both
first elevatingj the nobility into the
military order! and next concentrating
the people against them for protection.
In Spain, however, the sway of popular
institutions and creation of corporated
districts, where the people choose their
municipnl rulers, were established nt
an earlier period than in France and
England. The Burs hers of Caslilinn
town', instead of purchasing their im
munities, and utmost their liberties, from
the hands of a master, as had been done
elsewhere by rendering to the Barons a
stipulated service, were invested with
civH rights and extensive property on
the more liberal condition of protecting
their country
I he Anglo-Saxon who had expelled
the ancient Briton, was in turn invaded
nnd overcome by the Nor man, who
piiicclled out the country to his victo
rious followers on the tenure of military
service; and thence onward they lived
and grew as one nation, always en
larging in power; constantly increasing
in wealth, and ever improving in resour
ces and in knowledge.
The ('eltiberian,or the Spaniard, as
ho may henceforth be called, was, in
rapidly conquered and possessed all the
more fertile provinces - of- htr country,
the naiive occupants retiring to the
mountainous regions. From these
fastnesses, after a lapso of filty years,
the Spaniard again descended in war,
nnd with untiring hate, -that was im
planted in every bosom from age lo age,
rut pursued liisoiu invaders with sue
ressire wars, until after the lapse ot
eight hundred years the Moor was ex
pelled from Spain. The Iberian blood
still flowed in the veins of the Span-
bird, and, showed that he might bo o-
vercome out never sunatjea. rnis long
-ncouriter of the Moor was a defence of
his religion ns well as of courjlrv:. and
long 'service Ttf defence of the Coss a-
gainst tho Crescent has marked tho
Spaniard's character, with an obstinate
attachment lo his own religion and an
intolerance of nil others.
After the lapse of moie than a thou
sand years from the time that thoae two
races of Celts had planted themselves
in countries so distant from each other,
ihey both began, at opposite end8 ol
their continent, to cross the ocean in
search of other countries, and ' both
sought the shores of America. Each
pursued his own parallel of latitude,
and, aftor infinite snffeiing and carrying
death to untold thousounds of the na-
live occupants, each founded a Colonial
Empire each or which, tn time, threw
off its subjection to the parent ' country,
and, through long and bloody wars,
established its supremacy and indepen
dence. ' ,
And now these long separated races
of Celteo blood, which, parted from
eachoiher more than fifteen centuries
ago, on the confines of Asia, hare met
. . 1 a -a.f. -a .-.
in connict wun eacn otner, in xne inte
rior of America. The elder race that
of Spain, hy its inert lberinn blood, less
inclined to invasion, more quiescent,
and, therefore, more attached to home,
is fighting on its own soil, for the da
fence of home and country. The Mex
ican regards' the presence of a, foreign
enemy as proof of an insatiate ambition,
which aims at the subjugation of hia
country and the overthrow of 4 his. reli
gion..., Jo the ranininiiance of . these he
shows unwonted ' enthusiasm. . The
younger', race the Anglo-Saxon, of
pmcr Gothic descent, (lor the Norman
invasion was but' oa invigoration, by
the same Gothic stock,) filled with the
old Ccletic spirit of grasping new coun
tries, proud of warlike honors, and fired
with the ardor ot conscious superiority,
is pressing; on, till the: antagonist shall,
yield ond sue for pence, " The pride of
the Spaniard may, prompt resistance to
the last point , which works his over
throw, rather than save , himself by a
demand of peace extended s a boon to
his inferiority. Where shall such a
conflict end? Will the Anglo Saxon, '
weary of his pursuit, and satiated with
victory,1 return with t a rren' honors lo
his' homo in the North? " It is little like
ly, and contrary 'to his history,1 for a
thousand years, Will th 'Spaniard
bow himself to the yokej "and quietly
consent 16 become a submissive subject,,
resting under the rule ol others, in. the
seat, his ancient home, won by- the val
or. of his lathers . 'I he story, ol his
career for . two thousand years forbids
the belief, unless the subjugation is en.
(breed with the continued pressure of
the iron hand of war, and ike reduction
of hia numbers shall muke resistance
hopeless. ' But when that day shall' be
reached throngh so sad a Career, there
remains another tare, far more ' numer
ods whrv' retain an- inextinguishable
hatred to their white conqueror at the
lapse of three hundred years, and they
will be ready' and apt to transfer that
hate to any successors of their present
mnsters.aud be for ready, use in revo
lutionary warfare. The history of
these races shows that they should have
never met in war, and the' contcmplu
turn of Ihe future is filled with sadness
and ominous of long trouble to their
posterity. 1
CULTUUC OF THE GRAPE IN FLOR
IDA.
Col Mclnioah, of Duval eountv, Florida
Is making preparations to enter largely in
to the cultivation of the grape for the pur
pose of wine making and ie determined ffna

The Jacksonville Newa state that the
graje grows in that climate mure luxuriant
ly than in any o'her portion of the Untied
State and the only reason that lint deter-
red oiltt rs from euiburaing in the same
enterprise long since is the fear that the
frequent rains may destroy . ihe fruit. But
Cul McluUnh is of cpinido that by con
