MONTHLY RETROSPECT OF POLITICS. POLITICAL speculation is now, in a great degree, turned from Europe to America. On the whole of that continent, and in the United States particularly interesting to us, great events, which had been slowly ripening into maturity, are now accelerated in their progress; and as the affairs that took place in Europe contributed to their early developement, so existing circumistances on this side of the Atlantic have hastened results in the other, and, as it were, quickened the productive power of time We never doubted, that, in a slow though sure progression, America, Asia, and even the inert and insulated mass of Africa, would experience the consequences of changes that have lately taken place in Europe, such is the connexion of the modern world, and the extension of social sympathies by various intercommunication. Light and heat excited in one portion of this great connected circle, will be transmitted through the whole chain, not by the nearest road, but by chusing the best conductors. It may indeed be a question whether more of the prophet or of the poet, was displayed in the following lines written many years ago by one of the most acute philosophers and best men that ever existed. "Westward the course of empire bends its tion of empire, we wish at present We Old establishments contemplating things only as they are, and exerting all their endeavours to preserve things always just as they are, sit in the centre of existing circumstances as the hare in her form, with reverted eyes, and ears erect to the rustle of the least alarm. But young states consider things as they are likely to be. They have to push their for tunes in the world, and they look forward and upward with the eye and heart of the eagle. It will be, we think, for the councils of America, at such a pregnant season the present, to entertain views grandly prospective, and commensurate, as with the destinies of the whole continent, now labouring, and as we may say, in the throes of deliver ance from ancient oppression. No two political creatures can be can be more different than a statesman on this side of the Atlantic and a statesman on the other. They must have totally different views and conceptions of things, and be almost without any common measure for a comparison of ideas, or any joint conclusion of judgment. 'Tis a bad groundwork for treaty. Neither party can form a just estimate of the other, and this generates an undervaluing, exemplified, as we think in much of the diplomatic correspondence, and perhaps, not less injuriously, in the appointment of envoys neither in consequence, character, or experience, adequate to the importance of the mission, and the various circumstances of the greatest delicacy and difficulty which they must encounter, in its progress. The secondary powers of Europe, such as Holland, have been sunk, and almost annihilated in political value, while, by this very means, the United States have risen to the importance of a primary power, and ought to be treated as such under all its relations. All depreciating recollections ought to be carefully banished, and every respect and attention ought be paid, to the utmost extent of diplomatic ceremonial. The message of the President to the legislature of the United States is a most important document. Its spirit is that of armed neutrality. Much is said, and much more is left to be understood. More is meant than meets the eye or ear; and amidst a certain difficulty of stile, and as it were an alienating phraseology, probably owing, in great part, to the necessity of generalizing and comprehending much in as short compass as possible, the veil that hangs over the designs of the state is drawn up, and the future, we think, revealed, as far as it extends to the purposes of government. It recounts that the first condition of the repeal of the British Orders of Council, was that the productions and manufactures of Britain when owned by neutrals should be admitted into markets shut against them by the enemy, that is, in effect, that America should go to war with France, and in the meantime the American non-importation would lead to measures of retaliation, that is, that a measure grounded on principles of free will and independence should be treated as a direct act of hostility. No evidence appears to be given either of the actual repeal of the British Orders, or even any assurances had come to testify that such repeal would ensue, on the fullest evidence of France having repealed her decrees. The speech asserts that no redress has been given relative to the wrongs suffered on their coasts, in the pressing of American seamen, &c. It sanctions, by authority of govern ment, the statement of the Court of enquiry, that the Little Belt fired the first shot; and before any of the subjects at present in dispute are settled, it alludes to a new ground of contention viz. the interposition of Britain against the proceedings of the United States with respect to the Floridas. After enlarging on the duty and expediency of putting the United States, is an armour and attitude demanded by the crisis, the President takes an" ENLARGED PHI LANTHROPY" and an "6 ENLIGHTENED FORE-CAST" as the master springs of the government, and asserts that these principles concur in imposing on it an obligation to take a deep inte rest in the developement of those scenes which are taking place in the southern portion of America extending into the neighbourhood of |
