would be the bottling off the Atlantic; sad experience taught European tactics a different doctrine, and I am persuaded the invisible ambush and the majic rifle would paralyze with horror the stoutest hearts, without the chance of retribution; such has been the case, and will ever be a barrier, but there exists a cause more potent than rifles or forests: any force sent from any European Legitimate would want that something they could exhibit any where but America, because seamen and soldiers are not so grossly pampered with royalty and loyalty as to reject feeling; they know they are destined to oppose a host of freemen, self created freemen, and they covet a share of their real or imaginary happiness: such reflection naturally would and has enerv'd and palsied the arm of sanguine hostility, these considerations and her great distance from Europe will enable her, at a small expence, to guard herself, and laugh at obtruders, and as she has all the resources and conveniences of life within herself, it would be impolitic and futile to attempt her subversion,

I have observed defection to a great extent existed during the late war, yet, strauge to tell, although the Pre

sident was armed with full powers, and had at his disposal the Habeus Corpus Act, yet he wisely refrained from the exercise of any coercive measure, and on the justice of the contest and the sober sense of the people firmly relied, he was not deceived, and that fortitude foiled, defeated and shamefully degraded the pigmy machinations of a treasonable faction, and it is curious that no secret service money was required by, or granted to the chief Magistrate, or the worthy offices of an Edwards or an Oliver, &c. &c. deemed essential, nor in the piping time of peace is it found requisite to maintain a standing Army, that people will not allow it, that people pay and they rule, and as the good Citizen forms the Soldier," vice versa" the good Soldier forms the Citizen.

With respect to the American system, its relative value, and to the advancement it may be considered as having made in the science of Politics, there will probably exist much diversity of opinion, but none I think. as to its utility with reference to the American people, it has survived the tender period of infancy, and out-lived the prophecies of its downfall, its principles have been fostered into maturity and their application illustrated by experience, it has borne the nation through a period of domestic difficulties and external danger, it has been found serviceable both in peace and war, and may well

claim from the nation it has saved and honored the votive benediction of

ESTO PERPETUA.

In reference to the climate of America, so extreme is its Continent, or rather the two Hemispheres, (North and South) stretching through all the five Zones, that it possesses every variety of climate,soil and production which the earth affords the Middle Eastern and Northern States of North America are, in general, salubrious and compatible with the constitutions of northern Europeans, but the southern States I should conclude too hot, and consequently more suitable for native constitutions south of France, but to be brief, in the States of Pensylvania, New York, and Province of Upper Canada alone, there is yet convenient vacancy for half the people in Europe, and a finer climate no where exists, and as the more remote States westward become cleared and cultivated, doubtless a many diseases, now existing, will be removed; in fact, every thing in America appears to require the mellowing hand of Time to invest her with the Regal" Insignia" as

QUEEN OF THE PACIFIC.

Now as the hour of final seperation is about to takeTM place between me, the United States, and its people, I shall attempt a kind of impossibility---that is a character of a community who have not yet obtained any, and shall add such general information, founded upon actual personal information, that is most essential to be understood, and compatible with my promise and wishes; and such, I hope, will impart advice on the principal object, and lead to a correct decision.

To emigrate, or not to emigrate--that is the question; and who, and what trades or occupations are the most eligible, and other miscellaneous remarks connected.

After the successive visits of Columbus, Americanus, and the Cabots, a religious sect crossed the Atlantic, and were followed by a race of criminals, vulgarly called transports--men of taste and science, whose fingering propensities gave them sweet powers, far beyond the fabled talent of Master Orpheus; prodigies in the region of harmony, they rejected the dulcet notes drawn from the fretted chords--Oh wonderous genius? and in ravishing strains upon the ankled manacles, melted the very soul of every sea-god and wood-demon to pity, by-

"Hope told a flattering Tale,"

And "Fare the well, Manchester.",

But a solution of their pedigrees is too complex--mor● difficult to ascertain than Welch progenitorship, which precedes Adam, or the stable consanguinity of Eclipse, Hambletonian, Sir Joshua, Dutchess, Joan of Arc, or Miss Bailey.

Europe, from war changes and revolutions, became embarrassed in taxation and debt; such circumstances naturally created a desire to seek emancipation, and the American Quarter of the Globe held out the most flattering invitations, though in fact there was no other asylum; and many adventurers, who sought that country, from ten to forty years ago, became successful, and they or their descendants are now in competent circumstances. Since that period, she has rapidly increased in population, imposts and taxes, and decreased in commerce. Her government first demands notice; for if not the best it is certainly the cheapest upon earth. The elective right rests with the people, as respects its executive; literally the whole body politic emanates fron public choice, but comparatively small as is the patronage of that Government, power and corruption guide that choice; still, as the period of office is of so short duration, the influence of those evils are less hostile to the present invulnerable fabric of the Constitution.

The Americans are not a yielding passive race of contented plodders, to innovating power, and curtailed liberty; but like judicious and wary paymasters, see the
