and of all the natives, not one acre of land was purchased, or even attempted. The Spaniards found, _as we will prove_, branches of Christianity!--and yet with the Crucifix in one hand, and the brand or dagger in their other,--they sacrificed _eleven millions_ of human beings to their unhallowed invasions, lust, and thirst for gold:--but were the _English_ so possessed when in the depth of dreary winter they braved the dangers of the broad Atlantic?--What drove that band of Pilgrim-Fathers forth to seek an unknown wilderness for a home and shelter? Was it gold?--would they have dealt with money-changers in the Temple?--No!--One thought alone throbbed within their hearts,--viz., To worship their GOD and SAVIOUR according to the solemn dictates of their conscience! They were Englishmen, and the first promulgators of Religious and Civil freedom in the Western Hemisphere.--Upon their landing did they enslave the Natives for gold-finders?--No!--They offered the hand of amity,--and in it _they gave gold_ for acres, and obtained the land by fair and honourable purchase. Entering upon their pilgrimage upon the principle only of Religious freedom,--the Northern-native has been ever permitted to enjoy the same; and not a record of that land will prove, that the English ever sacrificed a human being upon the ground of Religious belief or disbelief. It is the very _principle of the Contrast_ between the Spanish conquest and the English landing on the Western Continent, that has made the essential difference, even to this day, in the stability of the Governments of the two European races, Spanish and Anglo-Saxon. The former was based upon injustice, lust, and avarice,--thence can be traced the eventual downfall of the Spanish principles in South America; but the latter was Freedom-founded, and based upon laws, virtue, equity,--and thence, as a consequence, the Anglo-Saxon family still remain firm and secure. Their House being built upon a Rock, and daring,--like the Parent-Country,--the wild elements of tyranny even to approach the foundation, they fear no "comparison" with a blood-stained Mansion erected upon the Sands; and which the waves of Time have so far swept from view, that even the false proportions would have been lost, had not History placed them in her archives as a warning to posterity! Apology, we trust, is not required for this almost digressive note;--the just defence of the character of England and the United-States has been our only motive;--and that being our _rule of action_ through life, either in public or private, we could not avoid it.
