The most ardent and confident advocates of Republican governments, regarded it as the pivot on which the success or failure our great experiment in political science was to turn Nor did the success which marked i every step of our national progress in its early career, serve to dispel their gloomy apprehensions.

With each successive trial, the hopes of the friends, of free government have grown brighter and stronger. The History-of the Seventh of November 1848 will, it is believed, go far to settle this question. 1 That three millions of Freemen, the proprietors of as many millions of square miles, betweenjthe rising ami the set in of the sun, should calmly and intelligently record their verdict upon the great, issues submitted to them, is a more stupenduous miracle jn Political science, than even the wonderful agency in Physic, by which this verdict was transmitted in a like interval from the extremities to the heart of this extended country.
