Gulden:ea of the Indeptndent Blues--Friends
and r.Fdlnto eitizetuir--When we review the
history pf our race, the rise and fall of dona
tions of theaarth, the first dawnings and rapid
progress of science and the arts, the dissomi
nation of the pure end, holy principles of the
Christian religion, we must as Americans feel
aniinated by that proud consciousness which
the agency of our free institutions in ad:Om
plishillg these grand results,Hojesily inspires.
Here we might ask what would now be, and
what wanid have been the condition ef millione
of the .human lowly if America, had never
existed? if her
; oxiatenco had never been re
vealed. to the civilited part of the World ?
Why was all inowledgeof the new world core
coaled from the old for so long a period? anti
why 'the remote location of this continent
from the old_ world ? ill these inquiries lead
our minds to the contemplation of the chew,
ter of Him who alone is wise iu counsel and
mighty in knowledge, •
It is one of the distinctive features of the
moral government of the Great. Ruler of the
universe, that ho prepares for µII events,:and
furnishes all things at their prover time, and
when and where they are needed, The eight
hundred thousand'souls who dwell in the great'
commoroial,city of New York depend for their
daily supply of food' upon that which, is fur
-1 niched from the surrouudiug Country more or
t boss reineti4 The most'perishahle articles to
supply thowente'of man, from day today, are
brought to that. ntetreptlis from a thousand
points, and while there is for the most part
enough fur the demand, there is rarely u loss
front excess of commodities. How well regu- 1
I Wed the demand and' supply. ' •
And in' looking back along the track of tittle,
guided by theligor, of history, we find constant
j illustrations of chp bandicoot workings'uf the
, hand who upholds all thiov, and 'who. pµr- ;

i.Htt Der ph_ysieal wants and neeessities demand
nod , and additional means of supply, they are
furnished to us 'by the use 'of 6e requisite
i.tneans and industry; and when advancing

of the human race, HUO:Illiticl» as those of ; a

peculiar condition of society, and the excess

disclosed to the wonder and amazement af
all. Let us look hack to the period of'thudia
