ENGLISH WRITER'S ON THE UNI
TED STATES,

ED . "A ES.
A correspondent has called our atten-
ton to the following passage in Mr.. Bull
wER's latest work in which he measures
out due credit to the English lady who has
lately written book to burlesque the
character of the People and government
Of the United States?
FROM "AsMoDEUs AT LARGE"
81 was summed by Kosem Kesamim
from hoase at Cincinnati, where Mrs.
Trollope's book on America had just ar
rived"
"Ah! droll book enough, but full of
absurdities. A work like Mrs. Trollope's
resembles Pantaloons acting; one laughs
at the tricks, but one would not do them
oneself for the world 1t is the sort of
appreciation that belongs to contempt;
and the more one is amused, the more
one despises the source OF the amusc-
ment."
sThe Americans say that they would
not receive very cordially lady travel
ling with Miss Wright, who, in the
midst of nation particularly starchcd on
the affairs the sex, preached up the alb
surdity Of marriages; so that her abuse,
accordingto them, is only retaliation"
sand it is only the more ordinary ranks
whose manners the good lady thinks vuI-
gar. (Open the Chablis, old fellow She
allows that the elegants preserved mys-
FERROUS exclusivencss; SO that, in fact, it is
those classes who, in England, would be
wringing their souls out at their fingers
ends in retail trade of candles, soap,
pepper, mousetraps, and other sweet
meats, to pay their rent, their bills, and
their taxes, whom she finds living well,
} talking big, and going to balls, and instead
of being surprised at their prosperity,
she is surprised at their vulgarity. Now,
if you, Asmodeus, were to sit down and
! describe the domestic habits Of Wap-
ping and Shoredtch, and then call the
book England you would go hard on
out-trolIoping Trollope herself"
, ''But, said Asmodeus, sneeringly, emo
free States ever do enjoy the grace Of
manner that belongs to despotic ones. The
English seemed as rude to the Old French
> as Mrs. Trollope's Americans Is the most
, fastidious English"
t "Right," said !, s'nations alone are jud-
ges Of their own conventional manners
$ one nation cannot ccnsure another. The
lively Frenchman seems the most vulgar
OF all animals 10 the solemn Turk. Vul
5arity Of mind. not of manners, is the on
q ly vulgarity which people can charge
against their neighbours. Mrs. Trollopc
e accuses the Americans Of this vulgarity,
S but in vain. The very rudeness Of their
n equality bellies the charge, (mental vul
: garity is always servile to wealthy ane
{ the purity Of their political idols proves
), certain largeness of mind. No vulgar
f souls could appreciate Franklin, or ador'
% Washington. The true vulgarity-tha
1t is- mental smallncss, is in Mrs. Trollopt
ID herself. The Americans point to thei

Though the measure was different the spirit

an unpleasant affair, Mr.. Smith. seeing that
