In addition to the special resemblances between the republican and the Russian slaveholders, there are two other circumstances of these two countries, curiously alike; the inhabitants of both have an enormous amount of undeveloped land, and yet more than any other nations, they are posseased with the desire of adding to their territory. This is not the place to enter into the religious, or social, or po- litical motives which induce Russians to back their Czar in his aggressions; but we may well ask, how comes it that 4o many of the Americans rival them in their aggressive tendencies, though they have no Greek church or autocrat whose role they wish to extend? With vast reuims of fertile soil as yet untrodden by the backwoodsman; with large dis- tricts of rich but uncultivated land even in such old States as New York and Pennsylvania; with room for the surplus population of Europe for centuries to come, their youth are yet as eager to throw them- claims of duty would anticipate or transcend the dictates of expediency. We can imagine cases in which these claims of duty » bay would, call 2 the young giant to thrast strong arm into fray; but this isnot one of them. We think that he would cross the ocean rather than allow the @emocracy of Europe to be utterly destroyed by its tiam; but this democracy is not yet sufficiently igered to induce him to it for emperors: we trust , were the home of his fathers really in peril, he would rush to its defence; that, spite of old sores and present rivalries, tens of thousands of re- hal wonld strive to save the Old Country from thread of the Cossack: but until in the Old World law and order be defeated by brute force and Just of conquest, the great republic in the New World may refrain from interfering. till, if we can neither ct nor wish the hands ef onr American kinsmen to be for us, it certainly is not without some feeling of dis appointment that we find ourselves forced to examine whether or no their hearts be not against us.

This talk about the “manifest destiny” of the Anglo Aweri- can race and republic, may be much of it mere bom- hast; certainly it is, upon no faith,as were the conquests of the Ariba; not even upon an idea, as were those of the Romans; perhaps it does not de- serve to be called more than a notion, but even as a notion it is not to be despised.
