THE OCCUPANTS OF THE LOG CA
BINS.-The following beautiful description
of clog Cabins" and of the pilgrim fathers
who first pierced the wilds of America, and
laid the foundation of government which stood,
and stands alone, without parallel in the hist
nv of the world, is extracted from that clear and
philosophical view of the political institutions OF
the United States, entitled Democracy in Anne
rica,n by NJ De Tocqueville:-
eAt the extreme border of the confederated
States upon the confines of society and the will
derness. a population of bold adventarers have
taken up their abode, who pierce the solitudes of
the American woods, and seek country there
in order to escape the poverty which awaited
them in their native provinces. As soon as the
pioneer arrives upon the spot which is to serve
him as a retreat, he fells few trees and builds
a LOG HOUSE. Nothing can offer more misera-
BILE aspect than these isolated dwellings. The
traveller who approaches one of them towards
night-fall sees the Pickering of the hearthfame
through the chinks in the walls; and at night, If
the wind rises, he hears the roof of beughs shake
to and fro in the midst of the great forest trees
Who would not suppose that this poor hut was
the ASYLUM of ignorance and rudeness? Yet no
sort of comparison can be drawn between the pi-
oneer and the dwelling which shelters him.
Every thing about him is primitive and uniformed,
but he is himself the result of the labor and the
experience of eighteen centuries. He wears the
dress anS be speaks the language of cities; he
is acquainted with the past, curious for the iu-
ture, and ready for argument upon the present; he
in short highly intellectual being, who consents
for a time to inhabit the wild woods, and who
penetrates into the wilds of a new world, with
the bible, an axe, and file of newspapers."-
