THE influence which habit holds over the
mind, 1s universaliy admitied, but it is seldom
wimitted to be examined soberly ; it is even
called second nature, and yet if it be only
second nature, it is ofien in opposition to the
first laws of nature, and in contradiction to
sehse, to reasons, to morals, 1o interest, and
policy. Whether we have fullen into babits
of thinking or acting ; which if persevered
in will prove injurous to us individually, or
to the country at large, is & subject werth
inquiring into ; and it we only imagine our
selves placed three or four cunnget.b‘;g,
and our hubits the same «hich prevailed then,
we shall be able to judge more correctly, .
That our early connexion with Bn‘ltnd
bus given us predilections in favour of the
customs and manners of the peopie &f that
country, and a prejudice in fuvour of the fa
brics of that country, cannot be doubted. De
riving much of our population from the same
sources with them, subject to the same luws
in a parucular sense, and recognizing her
power, have tended, no doudt to keep up the
prejudice, especially when it is considered
that the great facility of intercourse between
the two countries, and the particular facilities
granted by the commercial skill of British
merchants beyond the usage of merchants of
other countries.© But however strong the
predileciion in favour of that country, wheth
er it arvises from one cause or the many, it
appeurs, contrary to every principle of rvason
and policy, that we should prefer their inter
ests to our own==that we should set our own
talents at naught, to elevate the understanding
and abilities of that nation alniost to the
height of adoration, to look on each being
from thence, who muy arrive among us, (no
matter how insignificant he may have been
considered in bis own country,) as superiour
1o us both in point of mannere and in undere
standing ! Heis an Englishman—the term
appears to carry magick in the sound. Thus
we s2e the rude boy just emerged (rom the
warehouse of a Maunchester weaver, or a
Birmingham botton maker, with an education
only fitted for such employment, and his paws
covered with the scales of his college, ine
stantly on his arrival among us, assumes the
consequence of a Bashow ; he looks around
him, and is even surprised himself at the
manner in which he is treated, so different
from home, (o find bis society sought after,
and his company courted by those who hold
themseives up as the well Gorn or best blood
“of the countiy, und rank themselves of the
first circie of society ; a man of this kind is
not 8o ignorant as not to know himself, from
this knowledge he learns to despise all ‘he
sces aud bears, The scanty habits contrace
ted in his ware-house are forgotien, and
while he tares sumptuously every day, he
dawns, with all the suilen dignity of over fed
vulgarity, the stupid race that admires and
feeds hima. He recollects the superiority of
his former masters over himsell, and the su
periority ot all around hiw to himself, and he
learns to admire and feel @ semiment which
never before warmed his heart, or entered
his imagination.
That we should thus debase ourselves to
clevate an individual of any country, is an
inconsistency of conduct, yet for the truth of
the fact, the ivhabitants of every city on the
continent of the United States can vouch ;
and so far has this prejudice of habit wormed
itsell into our minds, that many will not al
low, or believe it possible for that nation to
do us wrong—nay some go so far as to affect
to believe, that the very frowns of Lngland
are meant as smiles upon us. How long
this infatuation may last God only knows,
but if so long as it does exists, and our minds
enslaved by it, we may call ourselves by what
name we please, we can have no National
character, we can not be a free and indepen
dent people. ~
Prejndice ever has a tendency to check
enquiry and prevent improvement, prejudice
has induced us to believe that it would be
utterly impossible to manufacture any article
within the Territory of the United States,
which would equal that which we have been
in the habit of importing from England, or
that would answer the same purpose as tite
imported one ; so far at one time was this
prejudice carried within the memory of the
writer, who is not ye! old, that even the arti
cles of Snuff, spun and cut Tohacco, were
considered unfit for use, unle:s manufictured
in England ! in the fourteenth century the
English sent ihcir wool to Flanders to be
spun and woven and dyed ; we sent our To
bacco to England to be ground and spun for
us in the last century. But this is only pne
of a thousand prejudices, and is onfy men
tiohed in consequence of owr reason having
overcome it==the saving this makes to the
United States, I leave others to calculate.
How many other articles we could manufac
ture, and at a cheaper rate than we can im
porty from having the raw magerials io abun
dance, as well as an equal advantage of labor
saving machinery it would be difficult to enu
merate. For a long time, unfortunately for
us, prejudices opposed every effort for our
advancement in these important arts of social
life, and that most fatal of all prejudices for a
country like ours—the passion zcvl‘ouhn
al pursuit, has so overstocked ty that it
has created a class of persons with genteel

acquirements, bred up n laziness witl« g
fortune, and throws them vpon the werld «x .
posed to all the temptations of vice, hundicos
of whom become gamblers and swindie:s,
and waste those lives which might be usciul
and ornamental to society, in misery oid
shame ; the hubit has been to believe thut «n
attempy ot manufacture would degrade & run
below the rank in society he has been acci: -
tomed 1o walk in==where is the man w!o
from fortuituous circumstunces has reisod
himself 10 the rank of a merchant, who fron:
prejudices would not shrink at the idea of
pursuing & mechunical employment,
much less think of sceing his son brou‘bt up
to one, No, he looks forward to see him «

stunding he has pussed as many years at Cok

and dubbed B, A. he would bemuch fitter fce
a nail-maker; locksmith, u carpenter, o
brick-maker, did his education enable him to
comprehend the mechanical contruction of
an{ useful thing.
n noticing prejudices, permit me tonotice
theprejudice und neglect of education, it is
by many thought to be in a high regurd in
this state, and still greuter to the Southwa:d
und Esstward of us. Yet with all the bous
tings of the East, where is their morals or
liberality ! Even tolerution is not complets
among them, und even the educution receiv
ed at our Colleges is very superficiale=thut
perhaps the most useful brancbes of educa
tion are highly neglected, mathematical
knowledge, which is the master key ol excct
knowledge, is neglected or insufficiently ut
tended to in all the Universities and Colleges,
and it is ressonsble to suppose it must he
more 80 in inferiour Schools and the consce
quence will bé, that it will not be considered
us useful though absolutely necessary for the
mechanick, and without which he cannot be
expecte.l ever to be able to comprehend the
force or power of the machine he may he
employed to make, and without which he
never will be able to lm?rovo on it by increa
sing it powers or simplifying its operations.
The Schools in general throughout the coun
try are estublished rather as the means of
subsistance to teachers, or the meuns of p.i
ronage in trustees, hence It is surprising o
find an ingenious youth by the force of hLis
own mind surmount the difficulues which the
barbarous methods of education throws io
his way.~~By improving sducation we exp: nd
the wind, we teach the individual to think,
to reflecty till which he knows not traly wh't
independence is—=it is that whichrwill enubio
nim w wppreviace in, it will destroy prejudice
that bane to oar prosperity and happiness.
With a gobd education he will feel that by
proper application and exertion, he can reu
der bimself in his line equal to any man in
the same line in any country, and his eflors
will be to rise superiour. He will know
justly to appreciate the talents of men of
other countries, ond see the übsurdity of snyp
posing those of one to be all eminent ; while
he from ignorance despises those of others,he
will also duly appreciate those of his own, and
which is necessary for him te do before he
can hold that rank in the gencral society of
the world he is entitled to. It is, I believe,
the duty of society to encourage education,
and to destroy prejudice, especially that kind
of prejudice which leads us into dependence
on other countries for the supply of articlea
for our daily and habitual uses, when we huve
within ourselves the raw gaterinls flor
producing them ; the doing of this will Le
found the cheapest and most effectual mode
of warfare we can adopt aguinst that nuticn
whose greatest exertions are on this duy
made to deprive us of all communication
with the rest of the world and reduce us to o
s ate of dependence on her ; thisis a warefu ¢
which is honourable and will cost us no live -,
and in which none of the blood of elar citie
zens will be spilt. .
