We believe thet the influence in that way Eek the rudimentary freemen of the Revolutionary days, developing all the arts of peace, could be Greater mechanics, inventers, traders and sail- ore than any other men; and now we have shown that Americans, téufited for their sac- ces in these arts and their love of the “almighty dollar,” are possessed also of the grander man- hood that succeeds in war; that they make also better soldiers than any other men, and that they cam carry war to the same high pitch of developmentthat they have carried so many other arts. The consciousness of this influences the national mind and character, and will stamp with a large aad noble spirit the Literature, history and philosophy that will grow out of it. Our national industry and commerce will also feel this revolutionary effect, and vastly improved and enlarged commercial and finan- cial systems will be the result. The undaunted spirit of the navy will communicate itself to a mercantile marine that will make our flag familiar on every sea, and the world will derive new wealth from the fact that the attention of this people has been for the first time fixed upon the great questions incident to the na- tional finances.
