Be sides, the, influx of foreigners must abate, &a wui u-,miry is nitea wim inutgennus multitudes. And it is to be hoped, that the example of our free institutions, to gether with the progress of political phi- losopny, will more and more meliorate fcurqpean governments, teaching sove reigns that it fs their tru e interest to. re spect each other's rights antK to make their subjects happy. As such benign changes take place, the inducements to emigration M ill subside, and thousands of .restless malcontents, 'who now sigh for elys an fields beyond the Atlantic, yitl then seek, that happiness at home which they before -thought was only to bejbuntf . in the new, world' ' " Against the danger that threatens us from servile insurrection, it surely be comes a wise people to make timely pro vision. If no fears were awakened by growing numbers and incurable discon-r tent, still, the necessary degradation, and inevitable viciousness of so Jargea pro portion of its inhabitants, wottld demand remedial measures from a humane and enlightened nation. That slavery is 'the baneful parent pf the vilest morals,, every virtuous family in this southern country knows full wcfl, and deplores that it hold within its oWn walls a fountain of moral poison, which, iu spite, of the most watch ful care,' is continually diffasing around its baleful influence and infecting the. health of all the household ;' Whife public testimony to the same mourn fdl fact is furnished by every jail and gibbet in the land.- Many of the state governments have awaked to the. importance of this sub jiect, and we may hope tluTT the proc ess ol political wisdnn and an increasing sense of the magnitude of tin evil, will enlist the remainder, who now stand bark in indiflerenceor despair until at lengih j a unanimity shall be effected, by which j ?he collective wisdom and resources of! th? nation shall be put into action for the "extirpation of the bitter root from -our soil. . A survey of tjhe .multtyltad ijlessinjjs vhich already crown our land, might seem sufficient to beget a perfect contentment, y. and that all we coulu ask of Heavenv i a continuance of the same condition But it. is; certain we are net satisfied vith our present attainments ; and perhaps 'this restless desireof sOTneihujg. batter was implantedjf TxommnrtTesjis it is in indi- Tiduals, to prevent the stagnation of hu 'tnan. affairs, and to stimulate .our nature tn vS-higirst capacities of improvement. Our country rapidly as it has advanced ha ndt advanced rapidly enough for our anioition.. In many .'respects we al e far below the nations of. Europe, and wecan-, not wait with patience until the gradual progress of time shall place us on a jeVel with them. We pant for more space in the World's thought.' " Our homely, do mestic joys, our humble, quiet, unosten tatious happiness, .seems tame and insip id. We. sigh for same wore splendid for- tune. We want the world to ring with our renown to talk with admiration of fields won bv the vulour of our troops, of to'wns and fleets demolished by the thun defs of our navy, of char ned senates hang ing witli breathless rap" u re on thetougues , of our orators, uf the sublimity of our po et, the erudition of our scholars, the pro found wisdom of our mristA ami philoso- nlitii-j. Wp want to see shinins ctties line all our streams, the whole face of our hind smiling like a cultivated garden, pa ved roads and canals intersecting every district, and universal wealth, like a miut v river, rolling it title from one ex tremity of the empire to the other. Some of these are legitimate and laudable ob jects of ambition, while others are pur chased at so dear a rate that a desire -after them is one of the, most unfortunate passions that rati enter the breast of a nation. Are ye smitten with a passion fur $ory, that noisy! reeling goddess, who drives her flaming'chariot oyer 4,,e earth, delighted with the roar of her own wheels andthe gaze which she attracts? We forget that the period of a nation's great est glory is not the period of its greatest happine'ss. Its years of tranquil enjoy me nt roll on unnoticed Tliose are. too tame a-theme for the historic muse, who lovesto record daring achievements of valour, struggles of terrific paion, and tragical scenes of suffering. (3n these she lavishes her powers of description,on these she expatiates at laige. while she passes over with brief and careless notice, a much longer space of a nation's exis ence, un signalized by striking events, but spent in happy repose. Thus a river may flow on with a deep and quiet current for hun dreds of miles, the convenient thorough fare.oH the whole population, and yet ne ver appear tn the columns of a newspa per, or be honoured with a poet's song ; bMt if in its progress it chances to dash its tv iters over a precipice and form a fright ful cataract, that single spot absorbs all attention and wins ill renown.

To come to ourselves,! if 'the American bosom h;ss ever beat to the ftowerfi'l snokes of senatorial eloquence, it was ivhen the expected horrors of war a"d servitude tired the hearts and the Ifps f -ur Henry ami our Ames. -ff L-'t us not therefore sigh because our Coutjress-hall des not continuallv ririg virh strains rivalling the noblest effusions' of Greece, Koine and England, Our race oT great men is not extinct, 'hor is their h nuetice uofef when thir voices are not heard. in the C-.pitol.
