Manifest Destiny.
The waters of American enterprise
and energy seem to be overflowing
everywhere. While the boundaries
of the "great West" still remain un?
attained, and the stream of popula?
tion still sets in that direction, new
and attractive fields aro being opened j
for our daring and adventurous
people. Mexico and Brazil have both j
thrown their gates wide open, and I
are inviting and welcoming American
emigrants with every demonstration
of hospitality. Never before did the
old and popular doctrine of 1 'Manifest !
Destiny" seem so likely of fulfillment
as it does now, with this universal j
extension of Americans and their
ideas all over this continent. Wher- '
ever the American goes and settles,
like "ill weeds" he "grows apace,"
and soon roots out all other weeds of
the country.
Who believes that the element of
American population now seeking
Mexico and Brazil, does so from any
special love and admiration of impe?
rial governments and institutions, or
that it will long be content to occupy
a subordinate position in the land of
its adoption ? The only question is
one of time and numbers, and, sooner
or later, the two countries now in
process of Americanization will feel
the controlling influence of Anglo
Saxon presence. It matters not whe?
ther the emigrants be discontented
Confederates or shrewd Down Easters,
or both combined, the result must be
the same. Whether in contact with
the good-natured and affable Portu?
guese of Brazil, or the obtuso and
stolid Mexican, the American dement
will predominate, and, peaceably or
violently, will ultimately assert its
superiority in mind and matter. Eet
him who doubts the truth of this
proposition regard the examples of
its correctness, presented in the eases
of Louisiana, Florida, Texas aud Cal?
ifornia, where the traces of the origi?
nal foreign population have almost
been destroyed by absorption. This
ascendancy is not necessarily preceded
or attended by revolutionary distur?
bances of tho State. It may be, and
is the consequence of that gradunl
and almost imperceptible supplanting
of all the old materials of the country
by the new, first in the spheres of thc
arts and sciences, and finally in those
of morals, government and religion.
Thc new race engrafts itself upon the
commerce, industry and institutions
of the country, and its superiority
beinpc tacitly conceded, the conse?
quences which logically result there?
from are peaceably accepted, from a
consciousness of the benefits likely to
accrue to individuals and the Stute
by the adoption of such a course. In
the meantime, the power of language
is exercised as un efficient auxiliary
in the progressive revolution. The
tongue of the new race becomes po?
pular, and is generally acquired, thus
waging a war of extermination on the
language of the country ; and when
tue Language <>t a people decays, tiny
begin to lose their identity.
Thus, in the manner and by the
means which we have described, all
tlie countries on this continent, tc
which any large or considerable
stream of emigration from the United
States may be directed, will, in course
of time, become Americanized, and
that fact accomplished, they wi!
knock at the door of the Americar
Union for admission. But in Brazi
and Mexico, before the step last indi
cated can be taken, the imperial Go
vernments now existing there will ii
some way have to be superceded
How that is to be done, we will nd
at present explain, but will leave ic
Yankee ingenuity to discover.
