, * . - Jfij No nation has presented such a variety of appearances as Franco, whose history ^ in ^mutely connected wijk the hi^taiy of ^apoint of view, she is mi anomaly amongst the nations of the onrth. Political revolutions have followed each other in nulek stieccsmou, each remodeling or entirely changing th? of i?i>venimont which proceeded it. Republicanism, Monnrchy, limited au?I absolute, together with ArisUKsraoy, have ever fonml w-nrin ami nblo advocates w ithin the confines of France. It has, however, been her misfortune to enjoy tranquility under no one of these forms of government; in fact, it can hardly be said, that she has ever : owioTcd. or been ?t??lar the influence **? ??? 1 form of govern in^JN?or a jrfkicnt length of time for her ]K^pjcto WeoUe fully acquainted with its principle*. Hut e.wr and anon Anarchy has planted her standard on the highest ramparts of Uepublieavitm and spread a murky gloom over her tutiie tcrri tory. Such, politically considered, has been the fate of France; but, when contemplated in u religious point of view, sho "lias, if possible, presented a more bold and striking feature. She baa at'one time been vacillating between Protestantism and Catholicism,and at nrittkhcr, slic lias been wavering between Infidelity j and Christianity. The Clwistinn Religion j was, nt an early period, welcomed in France, i but she soon corrupted it, and again readily j received the doctrines of the Cross, during the first of the reformation. Put oh ! fickle j France! Political and religious prosperity j had no sooner begun to present itself in all <l. i ? ? .?. ?nc uuoyaucy 01 youui, than the edict of I Nantes is revoked by Louis XIV and the 1 blood bounds of jK?rsecution are let loose to, glut their insatiable appetites on protcstati&i blood. The scene grew blacker and the j horror inoro dismal. Thousands are massa-; crcd, and thousands seek an asylum in for- ! eign lands. Literature and religion were j banished, and the Temple of truth was assailed ; and, to all human appearances, not one stone was left to tell where that splendid edifice stood. Education, with its balmy influences, dwindled and died, and a century of mental gloom brooded over the length and breadth of the laud, lint through this murky and mortiferious atmosphere, conies the Hero of Corsica, a blazing comet, illuminating all Europe. The European world is terribly convulsed, and the whole earth is shaken from its centre to circumference? cities arc razed to their very foundation? crowns arc crushed and tho thrones of the mighflpiat kingdoms of the earth arc crumbled into very dust?the thundering roar of his artillery is heard over all Europe, and part of Asia?the heavens are darkened with sulphurous smoke, and desolation seems ?. to be on the march. Lut bis tcrifio career was but the fearful ushering in of a new and glorious period in the political and religious world. Out of the dark and tempestious ?.1.2?1- 1-1 * i* ? men iuki swt'|n over ail r.urope tor j centuries, the Sun of Righteousness rose 1 with a new, anil more splendcd effulgence.! Since that period, I'ojwry lias staggered from \ verv weakness, ami Protestantism 1ms l?een gathering strength nml buckling on her glittering armor. Infidelity ami superstition were most sorely scourged by liounnparte. ILis desolating wars produced a shock over the whole Mistem Continent, which taught the inhabitants j of the old world that eternal justice would vindicate the rights of God and man. The Inquisition, which for six centuries had been innkiug horrid havoc, dwindled and died under the withering frown of Napoleon. Ever since the days of Father Dominic it had been busily employed as an engine of torture and of death, lly its destructive and terrifie influence the flickering lamp of protestantism in Spain and Portugal had well nigh been extinguished. The burning of Moscow kimllcd tho latent sparks of literature raid religion in Russia. From this perioil, morality revived? the productions of the reformers, which had long been contemned and despised, now began to have that worth attached to them which they justly merited; and in 1817 the anniversary of the reformation wa? celebrated. Hooks of all kinds now began to he esteemed, and to be spread abroad. Scientific and literary productions began to be stamped with the proper impress. From the battle of Waterloo may bo dated the commencement of a glorious period iu the I education of Europe. The education of the, common people of Europe dates no further; buck than 1815.

As much as we dislike the organization ' of the so-called Know-Nothing*, there is one feature embodied in their code which we, j looking at the present state of affairs, cannot, totally discountenance. We allude to their _ il* - A ? -' enoris in preveunng me immense emigre-!1 (ion pouring into the United State*, front ev- ( ery conceivable j>ortion of the globe, from j having any grout political Waring upon the , 1 republicanism of our institution*. They I come from the down-trodden shore* of Ire-! land ? from the inquisitorial dominions of the Pope of Itome?from the aristocratic! court* of England and France ? from the' benighted lands of the Eastern world, all1 more or loss impregnated with nuti-republi-; canism, religious heresy, and full of thespir-' it of Socialism and the unorthodox princi- j pie of " one man power." Wo do not re- j grot seeing them seek homes in our broad : domains. rl here is no dislike, upon our part, j at seeing them populate and fill the unsettled terr itories belonging to the United States,j or at seeing them protected by the same laws , which protect and govern the native-born America I* citizen. This is right and proper. The Constitution of the United States amply provides for the encouragement and protection of this portion of our population. Iiut this is what wo dislike in the feature of for- ' eign emigration : There have followed in its wake. and will continue in n kwoIot ? , ? ? b,v",v' "v ] greo than heretofore, low and worthless hordes of exotics ; and ?e do not think wc would be at all exaggerating, or speaking! with apparent incredibility, were we to sAy | that one-fourth ot foreign emigrants wero of | this character. Itemark the character of the i begging mendicants which Are seen in the , streets of our cities. From the little knowl! edge we have of the Atlantic cities, of Uieir poor-houses, prisons and tazarettoes, from examining the reports made of tliem, we know j that three-fourths of the inmates of said pla-' ccs are foreigners. The street beggars are almost invariably foreigners. A report was j made not long since of thenumlter of prisoners at Blackwell's Island, N. Y., and it was found that out of twelve hundred convicts only three hundred and nineteen were American bom, the other three-fourths were representatives from other counties. As we before said, that exalted sentiment1 which has made our country an asylum for, the oppressed of all nations, is an luMUr to1 the br?ve spirit* who first conceived iU- ' . -% . . ..* ' a ^V.o. * At.*. -Vi/ 1 i'.'! ,.i, j,mmm=ssst[f i,,.

Hut, as every day actualities tenohus?in t fact, we believe it exists in the nature of tinners?that those who the erous, are most liable, being the most apt, to bccomo the unconscious dupes of those who may have engaged their sympathy and encouraged their generosity.
