draw over them, though by slow degrees,
this biistercd shirt, they viii WISH, that IS III
ihc days OF their bold aud hardy iosciathers,
Their coupiry we're howling wilderness.
However, as yet, this gratest OF all caam'
lilies nos no. 'pdde any very considerable pro-
yroas Ia AmeFea, and II Will be the fault
oil the people il il ever does. There are no
common beggars, no gypsies, lew soldiers by
proie ssioa, at present few unproduc,ive SAL
Tors, seapoys, the prisoners IN Jais are tew,
none In hulks. But, be there what there may
ofihess several descriptions OF persons, the
q, piial OF ihe debt oi America amount TO only
IL pouods sterling soul, while that ot ours
amounts 10 murs than 100 pounds sterling a
soul.
Let us now see the Progress Of the debt in
America. The latter had tbe misfortune TO
stare with debt upon her back. 1t MAS a
misfortune, and very serious one, because l,
gave tise TO the spIlt of speculation, oi ad-
venture, Of gambling, which has been pro-
ducuse oI lasting aud very mischlevous ei-
feet. The debt, at the outset, or IN 1870, a.
npuntcd 10 II millions oi dollars and before
the last war, IL was reduced 40 millions OF
dollars. That war has brought il up 10 loS
millions of dollars, or 27 millions sterling.
But, in the mean while, she has purchased
LOUISIANA, 50 necessary, as we have seen,
fso1u tnc affair at New Orleans, 10 her sccu-
riiy. And, ,he has son,e how or Other, got d
preuy toIerablc navy, which, as experience
has proved, Is 10, less necessary 10 that secu-
r,iy, | am aware, that she must keep apg-
meniog this navy She will now see, thdt
her bare eristeHce, as an tndeHeHdent IalioD,
d;pends upon he, having. al tno end vt even
yfve gears, a navy of at least 80 ship~ Of thc
liae with propol tlon4:c nnmoei oi vessels

IL was her true hoAcy 30 keep out oi the Euro

Ii vas wise 20 geiSh II /; bIt wishes and posi-
bilil,es are d liotGut thlngs. She sees wnat
jea,ous,y, what envy, what hatred arising from
J6re6o,iiag Iears, she has inspired. she is
20. 10 b. deceived by the tawn,ns professions,
which, Tor temporary convenieocc, deep-root-
cd eamity may assume.
She k11ws that net navy is the infant Het-
culcs, aud than /, a,ust make haste aud gov,

how easily quar' bis are hatcocd, when people
have a mind to quarrel. Knowing oil this,
and great deal mote that D''gnt be menuon-
ed, sne w'i not, In peace negiect one monenl,
to be we'll prepared for her defence, and
iheceoy preventing, if possible, The recur.
renee ofwlr She cannot hide her situation
from hc world. She canno; so on growing

To- spare wiihou, any ancmp, a, disguise.
And fl this the Ahfe rican government, and
the American people, know, as we'll as know
