howling within the rave into which
Vlbey arc imprisoned by the deity who
rules over them, but ready at every
moment to burst forth ami to sweep
the. earth with \\ id?^ destruction, Such
n stale of thiols is, therefore., fur from
desirable. It is only preferably to
open war, because there is a chance,
that being debarred from the exercise
of open It utility , our dispositions may
bo gradually ameliorated. Jim hud
iiRssioiis require to bo inflamed and
tc|?t alivi) l?y continual and roclpro
cul acts of mischief, and wlion they
are not nourished t?y this their proper
food, they arc opt to fade out of the
mind. Hence it is, that we consider
a slate nf smothered hostility, however
undesirable, preferable to actual war.
? These remarks have, been suggested
. to our -minds by the symptoms of mu
1 tual aversion which we no often observe
breaking, forth among ri large class,
Uoth in this country^ and America,
pphey seem to breathe, against each
other jealousy and dislike, ami nfoso

considerably aggravated by tbu rage

try: those who are animated with th<
truly British fooling of overvaluing
t lionise Ives, and despising every otliei
nation, cannot boar the preference
which they suppose emigration froii
this country to another to jmply; am
this gives a peculiar cast of asperity ti
their remarks on America. The fur
is undeniable, however, that in tliii
new and unsettled country, thcdeumni
for laborer* is greater than the cn?\y1
cd communities of Europe, nn|) tftii
fact may bo admitted without biudliij;
us to any p-isilitc conclusions in favor

exists in Canada, which Is under the
government of Great Britain.
On thu oilier hand, if there prevails
among a certain class in llrituiu an il
liherln animosity against America,
this feeling is returned with interest
from the other side of the Atlantic.
In tno American character,, wo may
sec reflected nil the defects of our own,
and like all Imitators, the Americans
have improved upon the original. The
main peculiarity of both natiotifl, nut
of which, all others spring, seems to

that* likt) authors who expect crittcisin

?they rannot hear to look on their

This disposition is wet) described by a
writer in thu National Intelligeucciv
an American naper. " Most of our
critics, and indeed writers of nil ctiar

picture, wc eppreheud, would answer
equally well, both for America and
Britain. There is, however, 1!itn dif
ference, that therein more plausibility
in our national boasting* than in that
of America. In science and litera
ture, wc have many great names, re*
nowncd throughout the world. In
war, our military exploits have shaken
kingdoms, and our fleets have ('.hated
every enemy from the ocean. These
are plain and undeniable facts, which
may liavo made ?ih too proud, and of
which we may boast in an offensive
strain: hut still our boasting is not so
