not recommend to this country the adop-

stead is safe; it cannot be taken for debt

mrnt Of his property; for he has nothing
that Government will allow him to as
sign. He cannot ALLEVIATE an acre ofhis
patrimony. But he can say to his voang

essences, You may toll and sweat Tor me,

which lies at the foundation of England's
social fabric, tells the father that every
