EMIGRATION TO AMERICA

How often must say that this is country for
only two description Of persons to 90 to those who
mean TO work with their own hands and those who
wish to work no more, and who upon The interest Of
two or three thousand pounds cannot live comEorta
bly mere For farmers who think of gaining by
me LABOR OF others, America is no country. Mel
ther IS It country foc men with great parcels of
money, who feel impotence under the neglect Of
an aristocracy; for here such men find somebody
to pull hat off to Ihem and there there is not d
soul to do 1t They may swell and puff and give
themselves airs as long as they please but they
will lind no white man TO look upon or treat them
in any way but the way becoming an equal. No
body could live happier life than lived in Anne
RIGA; but then never attempted to stick myself
above any thing that had white skin. | used to
talk with them all that came within the hearing Of
my tongue; as went along the roads, If was too
far of Tor talking, used TO nod or bow. used to
treat them in their own way and they liked me the
better. The faults they find in the EncI sh are
their stiffness and commanding tone. " Free and
easy is the motto OF the Americans and they
found me just their mark. ] liked them, like them
and always shall like them and all that can say
is, that those who do not like such people have
no business to be amongst them. Those who can
not live without having somebody to hector over,
would do well to stay here; for here, any man with
money IN his pocket may always get some poor
ueFll u crawl upon the belly before him.
There is, hear, Mr. e, oft Of Manches who
lately came back. This gentleman landed at New
York just before l came away. He will now re-
member probably, an opinion that he heard me give
at Mrs Waldron's about the emig alton of rich
men He himself was reported to have very large
fortune; not less, think it was said, than hun
dred or TWO thousands of pounds Mr. Croft is a
clever man, but he was not calculated for America.
He expected to find the practice Of republicanism
accord with his preconce;yed abstract notions; and
yet he did not appear to me to have wholly Invested
his mind OF that set OF ideas which generally ac-
company the consciousness of the possession o.
wealth and man must do this comnletey; he
must feel no rebel blood stir within him when The
man that hoes his corn calls him Johnny or Tom
my, or his best way is to come back at once dare
say that Messrs Birkbeck and Flower have, BY this
time, been called Morrice and Richard till they
have almost forgotten then family names
This is horrid thing for man who goes to
America because he cannot endure the neglect and
slight OF the aristocracy; and who goes off in dud-
geon, because with all his money, he can get no
place amongst the great. The truth is, such man
is at bottom unjust, for he may be amongst the great
il he will pay Tor it, but he wants to rise and keep
his money too, which is unreasonable, not 10 say
almost dishonest 1t depends upon circumstance.
how man ought to proceed in such a case Ii
young, or if unmarried (lor money smooths away
lwrinkies) he may easily get +" connection" Any
Norman that is poor, will discover his merits, and
will let him MAKE his bow to daughter or sister
ESPECIALLY if he will lend, that is to saw give the
Norman some OF his money. If married. make the
sons parsons which can be done by buying liyines
FOL them; and the calling OF parson, like that OF
Ia play actress, puts the parties on level with the
highest; these may be called mobiles er oHfcfo.
But 10 succeed in the latter case demands beauty,
and that is not always the lot of the daughters oi
rich tradesmen. 10 get the daughter up there
fore, there is nothing sure but the cash. Then.
as to the papa himself, how many baronets have we
seen spring from God Almighty knows what A
couple OF seats may be had ii 'retrenchmen 90 on,
and had in perpetuity too for perhaps twenty thou
sand pounds. This is the real way. Then there is
Sir Spindle and my Lady and the young 'Squres
and the young Ladies all coming out, at once, like
a litter of pigs.
| 1t is easy to move from the scene where the mo-
ney has beer got Adding or deduclng letter or
two OF your name uakes you not the same person.
But the best way is, if your name end with y, for
instance, lay aside the and put an that is to say
