It is well that the restless temperament and the efferves
cing qualities of our people find 'ample room and verge
enough" for safe expansion and vt nt iu thia din ction.—
Quiescent they cannot be; the principle of activity is bred
in the bone, and it quickens every nerveeven to the remo
test parts of the system. In a political point of view it is
good, in saving us from the evil* of an overgrown popula-
tion. It opens a saf ty valve for the escape of ill humors
that might grow into sedition, ani it affords to the older
parts of the country an opportunity of gradually c on soli-
dating the elements of society by which the growth* of
firm and sure priokiples may be better matured.—Ball.
