Fix this textOUR COLONIAL POLICY.
Fix this text(Continued from, our last.)
Fix this textIn the preceding number we sketched the origin and progress of colo-
Fix this textnization in ancient and modern times. We saw that the policy pur-
Fix this textsued towards the Colony or plantation in different ages varied
Fix this textaccording to the genius of the parent state. The Greeks, by their
Fix this textindependent Colonies, disseminated liberty, letters, and refinement.
Fix this textThe Romans, with a mailed hand, planted their eagles in the fairest
Fix this textand most fertile provinces in Italy and elsewhere, as the best means of
Fix this textstrengthening the power of the sword and retaining dominion.
Fix this textIn modern times, the nations of the south, such as Portugal and
Fix this textSpain, sent forth their swarms to reproduce new communities, having
Fix this textthe distinguishing characteristics, the virtues and vices of the original
Fix this textstock, but, unlike the Greeks, retaining their allegiance to the parent
Fix this textstate. These nations, nurtured under the balmy breezes of the south,
Fix this textwere of too soft a mould to march in the van of civilization over new
Fix this textand untrodden fields of enterprise, and they had already faltered in
Fix this texttheir course, and in some instances recoiled from the natural difficul-
Fix this textties they had encountered, when a hardier race supplanted them in
Fix this texttheir mission and in many of their conquests. We then saw that the
Fix this textAnglo-Saxon race, in defiance of every obstacle, had, by their extraor-
Fix this textdinary vitality and indomitable energy and determination of will, built
Fix this textup a Colonial empire that must ever remain the wonder and admira-
Fix this texttion of mankind.
Fix this textMany of the impediments encountered by our countrymen resulted
Fix this textfrom defective legislation, the most prominent of which were glanced
Fix this textat in a cursory manner, such as—
Fix this text1st. Impolitic and unjust commercial restrictions.
Fix this text2nd. That the local legislature had neither the power to tax the
Fix this textpeople of the Colonies nor to appropriate their revenue.
