The Sun.
London, England, 1829-09-17 00:00:00

in America is called the dignity of human nature,
by departing with his neighbour's daughter, and
settling in the back woods, 1200 miles from
home. Afterwards, on the banks of the Illinois,
I met with a labouring man, who was always
tipsy without ever being drunk. Enervated by
dram-drinking, he had not the courage to obtain
a bit of forest and settle ; but he could earn seven
shillings a-day by his labour. When I spoke to
him, he complained of low wages. I, At New
York, friend," said I, " five shillings a-day are
thought quite enough." " I know that," he an-
swered ; I was born there, and came here to get
eight shillings a-day, which, I was told, was the
lowest rate hereabouts." It turned out that be
never worked for more than three days in the
week, and that, in order to obtain twenty-four
shillings a-week by three days' labour, he' had
made a circuitous voyage of some thousand miles
from the place where he was born, and where he
could have earned thirty shillings a-week by
working every day.
These, and many similar instances of the Mi'
grating habits of the Americans, opened mY
eyes. I saw a people without monuments, with-
out history, without local attachments founded
on impressions of the. past, without any love of
birth-place, and without patriotism—unless men
constantly roaming over immense regions may
be called a country. I saw Europeans, the only
visitors at the grave of Franklin, and heard Ame-
ricans laugh at Englishmen for admiring the
other founders of America. I learned that,
with a new people, restlessness is a passion, in-
satiable whilst any means of indulging it remain ;
a disease, incurable but by cutting away its
source. What a blessing, I exclaimed, for the
present race of Americans, if the Pacific should
overflow all the land that separates it from the,
Mississippi ! And then it occurred to me , that
my hopes of Tasmania were a dream, vihiell
c;iuld not come true, unless the rest of Australr
sia were swallowed by the sea. What had been
my delusion ? I had fancied that the voreg •
which surround Van Diemen's Land would Pre;
vent its inhabitants from spreading ; and .that
I would produce, what never der
and never can, exist without it, civilization•
know, now, that it is easier to migrate from the,,..
coast of Van Diemen's Land to the Souther
and Eastern coasts of Australia, which praent a
line of many thousand miles, than from seer,
interior parts of the island to others not fie/
miles distant. I believe, therefore, that Nelf
South Wales and Van Diemen's Land are one
land the same Colony, and that they will become'
! at the same time, districts of one and the same
icountry, remaining equally barbarous till the yell.
2,000, and becoming afterwards equally civilized,
lif the world should last so long.
