the passengers, dress seemed to interest him,
as he examined them and he was very much
delighted when little girl presented him
with very handsome bag, ornamenied with
worsted work, which she pinned TO his dress
in front, and which be continued TO wear.
But nothing seemed to excite so much adj
miration aud surprise, as a daguerreotype
miniature, when he discovered the likeness TO
passenger on board Some of the deck
hands afterwards offered him whiskey,
which, however, he resoutely declined to
taste, and we afterwards learned that he was
a member of a temperance society, which
he endeavored to express, but was unable to
make his tempters understand.
The river we now found began TO expand,
so that the distance between the opposite
banks was from one and half to three miles,
with innumerable small islands interspersed.
Nothing could exceed the beauty aud inter-
est ofthis scenery. The bluffs rising in the
height offrom one to three hundred feet the
boat winding its way among thousands of
islands covered with rich foliage, and every
moment something new presenting itself in
the aspect Of nature.
Such was the scene, until suddenly emer-
! ging from the midst of these islands, we en-
tered most lovely lake, and became perfect
ly enchanted with the view Not an island
was now TO be seen, but one vast sheet Of
water, smooth as mirror, and bounded on
either side by bluffs, still more irregular and
picturesque than those we had before seen.
Lake Pepin is from twenty 10 thirty miles
long, and is formed by the expansion of the
river to the average width Of three miles
For beauty Of scenery it cannot be excelled
| have seen Lake George, and famed as it is,
in no respect can it claim precedence over
this. Here you behold at one moment a
beautiful high bank covered with luxuriant
prairie grass, and there another crowned
with trees Of deep green foliage little aG-
ter the beetling cliffs Of a lofty promotory
break upon your view; while here and there
a towering rock lifts its head above all the
surrounding objects. Nothing could be
more picturesque. At the foot of the Lake
the Chippewa river enters from the north
east f; a large stream whose sources are near
those of another, emptying- into Lake Superb
or and between which and the Mississippi
these together form communication by Ca
noes, with short portage. Here we over
took some acquaintance about to embark
on voyage to this lake, distant about four
hundred miles.

Ofthe Germans, two were from Hanover,
two from Hamburger, one from Baden, one
from Lubec, two from Bremen, and one
from Heinault. Mr. Robert Owen was one
of the Scotchmen, and he was the only one
on board, fancy for whom fame had made
any great outlay oftrumpeting. Six clergy
men () served as our protection against the
icebergs.
During the four or FIVE hours that | was
playing the hanger on to a vulgar and saucy
custom house officer at Liverpool, one or two
contrasts crep, in al my dull eyes contrasts
between what had left, and what was be-
fore me- The most striking was the utter
rant Of hope in the countenances Of the
working classes-ihe look of logged sub
mission and animal endurance of their con-
dtion Of life. They act like horses and
cows. A snowy equipage goes by, and they
have not the curiosity to look up. Their
gait is that Of tired donkeys, saving as much
trouble at leg-liiting as possible. Their
mouths and eyes are wholly sensual, ex-
pressing no capability of a want above food
Their dress is without thought of more
than want and covering, drab covered with
dirt Their voices are half note above a
grunt. Indeed, comparing their condition
with the horse, ] would prefer being an
English horse to being an English working
man. And you viii easily see the very strong
contrast there is, between this picture. and
that of the ambitious and hrefy working
men of our country.
Another contrast strikes. probably, all
Americans on first landng-that OF female
dress. The entire absence of the ornamen-
tal-of any thing indeed, except decent
covering-n all classes below the weakly,
is particularly English and particularly un-
American. do not believe you would find
ten female servants in New York without
(pardon my naming itl hustle Yet
saw as many as two hundred women in the
streets Of Liverpool, and none with hustle !
saw some ladies get out Of carriages who
wore them, so that it is not because it is not
the fashion, but simply because the pride (of
those whose backs form but one line) does
not out weigh the price OF bran. They wore
thick shoes, such as scarcely man would
wear with us, no gloves of course, and their
whole appearance was that of females in
whose minds never entered the thought Of
ornament on week days. This tritling ex-
ponent Of the condition Of women in Eng

to walk about in idleness, until he was egh-
teen or twenty years Of age and then he
was too old to leaSn trade. He was fur

who had 10 regular business.
In the course of few years both Clara
and Mary were married One to the indus

stances, he is honored and respected by all
who know him, and has frequently been pro-

The Loco Foco regulators of this Slate
held a full convention at Jackson on the Ith
inst.-Hon. Powhattan Ellis presiding--and
nominated Albert G.. Brown for Governor, and
Jacob Thompson, Robert w. Roberts, Ste
phen Adams, and Jefferson Davis, for Members
Of Congress-
The resolutions express unbounded conf
dence in Hon. Robert J. Walker. In the eve
ming great Texas meeting was held, and all
sorts OF glory and Joy were manifested at the
triumph Of Annexation. The following were
among the resolutions adopted:
Resolved, That we receive the noble nnd
true men of Texas with JOY and pride into the
families of the extended Repubic-into full
fraternity with the twenty millions of the TWEEN
ty-eight United States.
Resolved, That we congratulate them, and
the friends of Representative Government and
Constitutional Liberty throughout the globe,
that Annexation is now beyond the reach OF
domestic faction or .fanattcat treason, and OF
foreign intrigue and combination.
Res lived, That one of the brightest memoir
ais of The patriotism, political saeaciiy, and
profound craftsmanship of the immortal and
venerated Andrew Jackson, shone prominently
conspicuous in his long and continued advoca-
cy of this great question of The ertension of
human liberty; and future generations will re-
ard him as the great and ilustrious champion
of nations rights and liberties.
Such horrible mockery and mounting as this,
by the champions of eternal slavery, exuIting
over a measure which opens new market and
secures an increased price for their hnman cat
tie, are almost enough to make an honest man
sick Of the words Liberty and Democracy
