We could wish to present oni readers with the whole of Mr. Sismondi’e review ; it is, however, too long for tin- room whii h we have to spare, and we must, therefore, confine ourselves to a few extracts. What he has said of Ame rica ought not to remain entirely un known to Americans. In Europe it curries with it the highest authority,-—Afinf. Go a. In the midst of the aniii osity of tin- parties which divide our old Europe, in tlie midst of (he political passions which the convulsions of more than 30 years have exritrd in all her divisions, a ge neral gloom overspreads our ancient continent. The evil cannot be denied, although we may not agree touching its causes. Factions, with their opposite opinions, are always ready to accuse their adversaries of the persecutions which one portion of society experience, and (lie insecurity felt by the other.— The evil, I say, is ever;' where before our eves : Imre we have seen a crowd of estimable turn consigned to prison ; iliere, military commissions pursuing dis persed guartll.i parties—the secret pro ceedings of the Italian tribunals have covered Europe with fugitives, and the ordonnances of Germany, extinguish the ancient glory of tier Universities. In Ireland, the insurrection of the peasan try fiom famine, are suppressed by the executioner. In the East, Turkey and Greece exhibit a scene of horror—the writhings of an agony which cannot be contemplated without shuddering.” “ When the present is so melancholy, when the future is so dark, one finds an ineffable repose of mind and heart in looking towards a new world ; where all is full of happiness and hope—towards a new world where 22 republics, free from the trammels which shackle us, from the obstacles and doubts which ar rest us in all our projects of public good, advance gloriously iu the career of hu man pfcfTecTimi and universal prosperi ty. Among them, labor i* always in de mand, and well paid—there, he who toils, lives in plenty and reaps 1 lie fruits of his exertion; while in Europe, who ever contributes by the labor of his hands to the creation of wealth, is al most certain not to share in its advanta ges. AI! inventions and discoveries in America go to the benefit of every cl ass ; which is not the case with u«—all, there, Imvo some leisure for recreation and in struction—all read and write, and take an interest in public affairs—all may marry early, and look without alarm up- [ on the increase of their families.” This prosperous condition of the the treaty of Ghent.

It has given dignity to the people, who do not sell their ser vices to each other, but exchange labor and talent ; it lias placed them above the grosser vices, into which the multitude in Europe plunge, in order perhaps to blunt the sense of their wretchedness ; it attaches them to a country which (hey know well, to a governmont which they comprehend, and over which they are worthy to exert an influence ; it pre vents those popular commotions, those violent tumults, to which the ignorance and ahjectness of the people of Europe naturally lead—it maintains between them and the other classes of society that deep feeling of euu.iliiy, which is found- oil there upon reality, while with n« it is but a fiction -of the laws.” * * * “ It would he a mistake indeed to sup pose that the prosperity of America i= owing to her liberty alone—merely to the form of their government. .She has great and fruitful advantages in her youth as a nation—her immense and fertile territory yet to he peopled.
