for indented servants. Accursed be all

nature, and almost make us lament that
we are meni 1t is some saiisiactio II TO
know, that they are not Americans. No
thing, however, culd more strongly prove
the lanentable ignorance o! that people,
than their liability 10 such impositions.-
To such people, almost any change would
be a benefit and there are thousands of
them who come 10 this country as indent-
ed servants, Irish as well as German, who
not only have enjoyed the comforts and
blessings OF cur country, but have rich
Is partaken OF Its honors and of It's
wealth.
As we have no fears of the emigration
to this country becoming excessive, so
we believe and hope that il will not be
checked by the representation of those
whohayereturned to Europe and misrepre-
scented oar country because they had
formed irrational views of It's advantages,
because they were too idle TO labor, or
that a reg lated liberty was not that sort
ofiree,lonI they desired TO partake of.

EMIGRATION TO AMERICA.-In an

times, and think they shall improve their

DEAR SIR,
am sorry 10 hear of The distress YOU
have IN England; but | do assure you,
though know the people in your coun-
try viii not believ. il, that almost every
Kind ofprovision has been third part
dearer iii all The sea port towns in Anne
rca than in London, except -four, and
that has been fifteen dollars Tie barrel
the greatest part of last winter, and ba-
kcr's bread one fourth dearer than III Lon
don. Provisions were never known TO be
SO dear a they have been the last season.
We have scarcely had any good beet, and
bad as II has been, the average price was
ten pence per 10. STERLING; and mutton
half a dollar, or two shillingS and three
pence, which, when was IN Birmingham,
was 0niy six pence per lb.-but In this
country they never complain, for fear the
word should not think they are happier
than IN any other. Many mechanics have
lately come over from England, Il numbers
o them are III Il wret he'd state, as they
cannot get employ ment. | think your
government ought to put stop 10 emil
grafton, or take some means TO inform
tue people of the true state of this coun-
try, whciat this time is more overstock-
ed with manufacturers than Great Bril-
tain. am, dear sir, yours, &c"

DR.. Butte has lately communicated
intelligence to his German countrymen
who nave an inclination TO emigrate 10
America. The writer observes, that Eu-
rope Is the true abode of civilized nations,
and there is no other part of the world
where the advantages of social life can be
found in the same degree. He warns his
counirymen against being misled by the
tricks of kidnappers, Gin German, soul
sellers who promise them paradise in
the New World, while they are already
preparing hell for them, in The ship
which is 10 convey them. With respect
to the colonies which are projected, he
mentions The sad fate of those which were
formed in 1893 by French company.
Five hundred persons went over 10 found
a colony at Galapagos on the Ohio, in the
United States; they purchased land at
five francs per acre. Credible travellers,
as VOlney, MeliauX, DuvalOn, who viSi-
ted this place afterwards, represent il as
plunged in extreme misery-Mr. Duvai-
Ion visited in 1909 the foreign colonies
established on the banks of The Missis-
sippi, in West Florida To the obicc-
tons which he mentions, he adds one cir
cumstance wliic h if true, ought TO remove
entirely the desire ofemigraiing to North
America, namely, that in proportion as
the land in that part of the world is set
lied, the dreadful malady Of the yellow
fever spreads It's ravages."
