Erfract 9fa letter from I'm. Co66eH 10
the Editor ofthe n. Y. Mar .,fdvocate.
At this moment, we are in state OF
partial commotion. The government knows
not what 70 DO with the country. Old forms
and habits, preclude the possibility OF es-
tablishing naked despotsm and yet, il
really appears to me, that it will not be
ong practicable to pay the interest of the
debt, and to refrain from q real bona fide
ABSOLUTE government. There will be
great difficulty, however, in coming to this
point. We are a people easily quilted ca
silly kept in subsection, TO certain point,
but not an inch further and it is quite
surprising to see.wAat resolution, what OBJ.
stnate perverseness we display, and what
contempt of danger when we once begin
10 resist. Never was there system of rule
at such peril as this, at this time
Our case is very simple the demands
OF the government upon the encrease and
profits of all persons of property, or in bu-
sness. are SO heavy that there is merely
enough left to be given in zvageS, to keep
working men from actually dying with hum
ger. i his creates paupers and these have
now increased to number that terriiies
the government 1t is agreed, on oil hands,
that II the increase of pauperism proceeds,
the country VIII be wholly ruined: that is
to say-that things will come to that pass,
that the poor will be more powerful in ply
seal force than the property. Yet, how is
TINS increase to be stopped Some say,
refuse relief, except to the aged ard in
tirm. DO this, and then we have to FIGHT
million OF starving men. Divers projects
are on foot, but noRs that will answer my
good end.
now find that Mr. Henry Cobbett and
Mr.. Oidhcld have arrived at New York
They will take charge of, and speedily for
ward safely to me, any thing you may have
the goodness to communicate. Your pa
per they are directed 20 send. We have
only this very day heard of their arrival,
though they went on board the 25th of
Feb; and we really began to fear that
they were lost.
Now, then. fthe Despots, with all their
AFFECT and hired presses. are able to Keep
run from making its way in the world, let
us forgive them-for the fault will be ours,
anei no longer theirs. 1t is quite iucredi-
bic what power there is in the American
press. Even as a channel for us, it is OF
vast Importance. ] am we'll informed that
one OF my letters to the Cossack priests,
which found its way to the south Of France
in the National Advocate newspaper. was
quickly copied by the pen, (for printing is
out OF the question y and that, when my
correspondent wrote, ten thousand copies.

circulating in the south, among the Protes-
tants.
hear. with great satisfaction of the a.
mazing prosperity Of your country -and,
with still greater. of the triumph which
freedom seems recently to have obtained
in the state Of New>York. 1t is the triumph
not only of the good among you, but Of
those in England, and in every part of
Europe.
