.tfect During the debaSes upon the
alien bulwark act, a member observed,
HAT he wished for some act to prevent
emigration also. This clearly shews.
Il al this evil is one OK great magnitude.
But, tho facts to keep in view are
that the struggle is not overs that we
are paying as much as we paid during
the war, up TO ! SCI and that. unless a
reduction take place in the interest OF
the debt we must paw as much forever.
These are the facts TO be always kept in
view, and will always furnish com.
p'ele answer to all the Cossacs> upon
the face of the earth In the mean
while, the good part of the population
is fast making its way 10 America, there
to add to the mind and TO the physical
powers Of freedom. = i've or SIX years
of a state like this in Europe will add a
million of men 10 your population, from
the source Of emigration while on this
side OF the Atlantic, no renovation, no
additional s,reng'n, no revival of spirit,
will take place, but, in every quarter
resulaI and speedy decline. Keep yo'i
uniteu and the cause of freedom will
triumph; and thai too at no
very distant tay. We often rejoice nt
what we oughl 10 lament; and often la
