GOAL. intellect—she was the instructor of Rome but Rome improved on her mode of instruction, though the former was the cradle of the arts, the latter was the cradle of arms. It was Ihe reception of these new elements of civilization, by a new race of men, that has wrought all those mighty changes in society and human government, all those political convulsions which have for the-lasttfve hundred years shaken the very fabric of European society and wrecked the remnant of feudal institution*. It was the combination of burbar'o energy with antiquated civiliv.ntion which has developed the glories of modern times. system, and when completed, was no more than a great military establishment, organized Cor military purposes. But it was suited to the times, to the character of that people, because they were a warlike and military people, and by its operation, the people passed from slavery to servitude, the first great social and progressive movement in modern history. I will not at this tiro*, trace the system of feudality through its various ramifications—the ' origin of those extensive baronies wbioh existed under it, or the rise of those monasteries, which became so many fortified libraries, linking together the past and the future, the ancient and the modern, hy a preservation of literature.

The philosophy of history deals not with such partialities, but with the cagse and the effect. It deals out jns'.icc to men and tilings. From whence originates this difference of opinion in re gard to some of rite leading characters of that event, unless it be, that we understand not the onuses,and imbibe false ideas of illiberal historians ? Take two of the most couspi. cuous actors of that bloody scene for en illustration. They enter upon the  arcn of that revolutionary struggle, when ilia accumulated feelings of centuries had burat through the feudal restraints, which had been.established, and shivered the ligaments of an oppressive arisiocrncy, which political age could could no longer bind together. They enter the .convention, both participator* in the sanguinary scenes—-both personal and political friends throngh all the popular tumults of that eventful period. IJoth appear a', the bar of the Assembly, one bold, eloquent and persuasive—the other fearless, 'delibera;e and philosophic—one the advocate, ihe other the contriver—oi:e the orator, the othor the artist—one arranges the ceremo ny, and decorates the halls with magnificent ppinting*, in wjiic,1) the other is crowned Supreme Pontiff. .Robesperrie is pronounced the monster; but IDavid, the sculptor, who, but a short lime since resi ded in an obscure street of Paris, is looked upon as the greatest Republican in i''rance. Why this disparagement 1 it is this: both are judged by our own times, but Ihe former terminated his career ere the knell of ihe Revolution had ceased its echo ; the latter lived lo see his career and his principles vindicated by ihe spirit of the age. I doubt not, that when (he philosophy of tlint event t-luU bo fully understood, and the causes which originated it, fully developej, posterity will do justice to ihe character of those men, whoin circumstan cesover which they had no control, forced !o bpcotne actors in that bloodv drama. progression.

Ah long as the ancient element* remained and were pieserved spperjtfi, ancient I institutions harmonized with them, science flourished the aria were cultivated, arid the Empire attained the proud preeminence in national existence, which has commanded the admiration and eulogium of everv age. But when this new embodiment took place, ancient institutions oeascd to operate because they weref not congenial and adapHed tifce flew formation. We no longer had the ancient language and race, isolated as it had been, but a mixture o£ race* ; no longer ;he g vre fjatin, but the French the Italian and ,the Spanish. A flee such a combination the,re must necessarily be new notions, new ideas however imper. fiot they mitfhl have been, and consequently different institutions and systems. Produ ced a* this event was, by generalcauses,it was necessary that Rome should "all, that the human ruce might progress—it was necessary that gilded domes, trophied ampiHtfceatres, u/t the memorials of antiqua. led civilization should decay and crumble away, that mode/n Europe migltf not glum her in savage The institutions of Greece or Home could not be trarsfercd to Gaul or Germany, because it would have been too sudden a transition, they were but iHy ndnp»ed 'to Hte notions and customs of the barbarian. He was b"tter fisted 10 sound the war cry of Alnric the King or Attilla the Hun, than to sing tho lavs of Virgil, or to listen to, and appreciate ibe ortrions ,of Cicero, or understand the philosophy oP Aristotle. It was necessary then that ancient aystems should fall, ilia; everything should return to chaos, in order that rite cifmervis of the iloman and barbaric world might combine, and system* created, suited to a new order of things. If we wiiKeave the tottering sys terns of antiquity, and start off on thefields of modern history we will see those social ingredients floating about in a slate of con fusion which went far to form the inslitu lions of modern JJuropp. W'« will take society as it was in the fifth and sixth cen luriea—when there was a mixture of races, of languages and of institutions—-when I here was no order, no organization. We must ta'.e the church as ii was with all its corruption—the cities without conftderation— properly ,in the hand.* of a few cas tellated barons. The Saxoai the conquer, ors of lirittian—tho Vandals of Spain— the Germans the possessors of Germany— Odvacer the king or Italy—and Clovis on the throne of DFranee. What do we find ? nothing bul disorder and incessant anarchy — nothing settled—nothing .pecawnqut— Society seemed to move in a continuous cirole, without making any progress or Moral power was feeble "he strong preyed .upon the weak, ami the law orphysical force predominated. There was the develQpement of no great e.vent— no great idi as were put forth—no discoveries in science—no philosophy—no eloquence, no poetry. \Ve frequently coniicmn are at events, because we look only to the immediate effect, when we ought to understand iheir true philosophy, examine both the immediate .tyid .remote resists ; for.oenll)ties.mMrt elapse before such dis cordant elements can be united, there must be system before there can be progress, there muat be a stability of character to this roving people, for the spirit of locomotive barbarism-kept society in a continual fermentation. This Charlemagne alterwards did. lie rolled back the tide of modern emigration ; the barbarian repelled bsrbaiisjp. yi|isibejDg.(lone the social chaotic elements began to assume organi zation and shape towards system It 00 But we,in our day,are accustomed lo look upon it as pernioiou*—as retarding the moral and intellectual development of the individual, wlien in fact it operated the very reverse of thin, reduced disorder to system, and prepared thn world lor what followed. We do not claim lor it a high tone of humanity, but we do claim lor it a bright tide lor the grand development ol new energies and the birth of new ide«9. We cltim for it the merit of accomplishing what nothing else could accomplish— stability to a wandering penple. It culti vated courtesy, loyalty, niHgnanjmity end honor, and prevented the oppression of powerful chieftains. But still the people were oppressed when compared with their present condition ; but it was no more than could bo expected in a formative state of society. I: «vould hove been a miracle for any people to pass from inch a condition to that hi«h s'ate of civilization which it is our lot to enjoy, it was necessaty that the human race should undergo a long pilgrimage before they should reap the privileges and blessings of the nineteenth centuryj tliHt civilization should buffet the revolutionary tempest,and struggle againrt established systems it imperious authority; before scicnee and art should attain their present perfection ; before the shores of this Western continent should resound with the hum ol enterprise, and its ports and bar. bora whi'.ened with the sails of itscontributive commerce.

The French oldier had tougiit upon the fields of Monnouth and Yorktown. He there learned rue patriotic resistance, and imbibed new lotions of government. The popular.sen. imcnt was continually .changing ar.d advancing without • corresponding progress in the p/irt of the government. The Pui:an movement in England and the rebel, ion of the French communes, were the jmens of what was to happen. At one focus there had centered the spirit of progression, the desire of innovation, the remembrance of ancestral oppression, and the everlasting runcor of the people against the nobility. Fiance was tho great centre valve of JSurope, through which was to issue this condensed popular feeling, to subvert and to re-create, end to which systems,must conform or yield. It was a struggle between property and numbers. This wa» the cause of its severity over the American-Revolution, or the English Revolution of '88. It was not only a political but a social change.'

The .ideas there .inculcated, and tiie .principles there instilled, they carried back to the towns and cities, to be diffused awong the people; an age in which scholastic philosophy revealed !othe world the Mvogreat ideas—the right to think and t{)e,Hghi.to rnle—which are destined to.roll around the earth, Co bless and adorn everything thev touch, to beautify and elevate every people and.every country. We have alluded to this first great epoch, from the termination of the Western en - pire to the revival of literature, to illustrate very iijiperfeolly the principle, that every system and all great events are produced by general causes ; and that every system, however pernicious and odious it may appear lo puccoeding and more enlightened generations, operates for the general.improvement.But we will leave this period of modern history, and glance at one of the most important events in its annals, and see what we there find,to.establish our conclusions: that all the great struggles of humanity result in the improvement or mankind and the progress of civilization. I me n the French .Revolution. We gUqoe at this event bocauso it is generally believed to be the most sanguinary, pnd the most destructive to society that modern times ever experienced. Out our idem .concerning such an event are too apt lo be erroneous, because (hey are i in hi bud by historiana who fere governed more or less by their prejudioes, aud lije notions of (he government under which they live. In order to ,obl*ln a correct knowledge of the nature of such.ad event, we ought first to understand the elm meter of lite writer, the true history ol his own )i(e, and the institutions tin" der which ho lives.

Carlisle says the histQry.of v!)e tvprjd is only (he biography of great men ; but hid conclusions are unwarranted, for the great men of every age are only the mile xtones on the road qf social progression and human improvement, to point out the way to those who are to oome after them. Such minds, capable of controlling and constructing, commonly take advantage of results flowing from a general cause, and not from lite cause .Itself; .1or a .cause .may exist a century-before the ellect is developed. ,Qn this principle it would seem that three men were dtaigned for completing the social regeneration of modern Europe: C«*ar, by the conquest and founds ing of oiiies, and preparing the way for Christianity. Charlemagne, by reducing chaos to 6}"«tein ; Nspoleon, by extracting liberty qjjt of feudalism. Such men are the creature?, not thecreators of an event. Thus, Charlemagne did not originate leudalism, he merely gave it permanency, by givjpg system, lor the elements existed long previous to this period. ,!t was a maxim of the barbarian, that the oonquerqr should beootne master of the etiqrny whom he spared or subdued. It jvaa on this prinofple that it was originally based. ■ Over alt the west of Europe -lay scattered .oiiies, towns, barpoies and rookbuilt,castles j but when systematized, it amounted to no more .than this: be who possessed a,castle, rendered homage to him wbp w%a master of a town; be who vu master of a town, io Mm who was governor of a province ; be who was governor of a proviaoe. to him who waasoverejgp.
