IN sentiment with those writer's VINO condemn the
large and almost useless commons to be met with III
many parts OF Engan and yet, many of our farms
present but little better picture, in their pastures,
overgrown with brush and brers. and the rank weeds
and unseenly balks which deform their mowing and
tage lands. Whether this disposition to become
large propretors is natural, or brought by our
fathers, with other prejudices, from land where
large manors are often the only evidence OF great
ness in their owners, it would be useless to decide
lit be relic of those preudces, it must have been
found to produce effects the reverse Of those intend
ed, since the posscssor of large farm without the
means Of cultivating it as it should be, becomes
slave rather than lord, and long finds himself
dressed in the tatters Of poverty rather than the e-
mine of state.

our territory support larger population, but 1t
would render our land proprietors more independent

market at its fair value, and our farmers and me.
chanics need no longer be the dupes and victims Of
rapacous msers and relentless usurers. There
would be more equal proportion between the mo
