remain Enclosed and unguarded! But, in addi.
ton to all this, when the evil has assumed 50
threatening an aspect rs to excite in every one
who has taken the trouble 10 examine into its ma
ture and extent, the deepest alarm, we are to be
beset by British members Of Parliament sojourn-
ing in, and travelling through, the country, from
one end to the other, preaching and lecturing in
encouragement Of emigration. Will emigration
never cease till foreigners are packed and piled up
on us, and our atmosphere polluted by outcast
foreigners! Why did not this political Missiona-
ry, Buckingham, restrict his Parliamentary elo-
duence to Egyptian topography, dueling, and
temperance? Was teaching Americans geogra.
ply and morality the principal object Of his tour!
No. This was pretext under which his real de-
sign was concealed. His grand object seems to
us clearly unfolded by this letter, and the course
he has taken. He offers his '.frendly counsels"
to his countrymen, and says:
You are about to leave the land of your fathers be-
cause within its limited extent you find that ade
quate reward for your abors which requisite for the
comfortable support of your families or yourselves.
Whatever may be the cause Of this nadequacy of pay
ment and unrequted toll, whether, suppose po-
/
imagine, the supply of labor beyond its healthy demand
to you the effect is the same; and the remedy atoge
ther beyond your reach Your only alternative, there
fore, is to remain in your native country and pne away
from want, or to repair to other land where your
labors likely to be compensated, and where
yourselves and your families may be able to procure by
honest labor those comforts Of life which, in your native
country, are above your means.
The extent OF the benefits which you may attain by
such change, will depend, of course on great variety
OF circumstances, such as your knowledge SKILL your
industry, perseverance, integrity and prudent improve
ment Of every opportunity Of advancement that may pre-
sent itself. But there is vice. in which, if you in
dulge, not all the good qualities enumerated you
from desruction: and there is virtue which, if you
constantly and rgdly Practise you almost sure to
enjoy health, reputation and comfort and may by time
and perseverance, attain wealth and opulence, suf
cen to enable you to return to your native country
independent in fortune you are now unhapply dcst
tute of competency.
The vice whichwl ruin all your hopes you indulge
in IT, is Incorporate Drinking The virtue that will Sc
cure the accomplishment Of all your desires, is Sobrety
and if you practise this, rgdy and consistently, all else
will be safe, and your prosperity certain.
! 1t will fill volume and very melancholy one it
would be, if | to detail to you all the instances
Of young and middle aged, leaving their homes full
OF hope and expectation but by giving way to habits Of
drinking becoming in few weeks the victims OF wretch
edness and disease, and in few months the tenants of
premature and unexpected grave. And among no class
OF persons is this more common than with emgrans.
This is the rock which you are all most likely to
split and If you strike upon it, your sinking and de-
strucon is certain.
IT. on the contrary you never touch or taste any Of
these stimulating drinks at ALL you may in this country,
America, be certain Of obtaining immediate, abundant,
and well paid employment whatever your trade or labor
may be. You may be certain Of saving money every
week. either to remit home to those you love- and have
left behind, to lay it up here in Savings Banks and
other stocks by which you will have principal and ne
constantly accumulang and if you wish to settle in
the country. you may buy small farm increase it to
large and become the proprietor of houses,
cattle and barns and have workmen under yo to rise
up to be masters like yourselves Or you desire to
turn home again, you may in few years OF honest and
sober living lay By sufficient 10 enable you to revisit
your native land, with comfortable independence.
Whom does he address9 Is it the independent
and respectablel No. 1t is the destitute and
the drunken. Two classes the most useless and
loathesome. This is most artful but mean
method of carrying on their system of exonera

the more effectual accomplishment of this, te

more successful, and whose encouraging reports

j Our fathers had wisdom and bravery enough tt
obtain our independence, but it seems as if we
their degenerate sons, will be recreant enough tt
give it away to the descendants of those from
whom it was acquired by years of bloody strug

of new politics, we cannot be even abused into
our senses
