removed from contact with foreign essociation, do
they exhibit the traits Of the ancient character DR..
Howe knew the character Of the people intimately.
Carried away by enthusiasm, he was among those
who joined the cause of the Greeks, when they
struck for themselves. he passed several years in
the country, and we think his estimate of character
entitled 10 more consideration, than that Of the
Delta. For seven years they maintained the war
OF independence, which was at length terminated
oy the interference OF the allied powers In both
OF these respects, 1t bears close resemblance to
The American revolution. The small extent of
country, the scanty population, the proximity to
powerful nations have made it an object of poiti-
cal intrigue, and the rights of the people have been,
IN great measure, sacrificed. After submitting to
me lethargic rule OF King Otho, whose absolute
power was only used in doing nothing but expend
money IN architectural monstrosities, the Greeks,
IN lS43, overturned this government, and estab-
lIshed limited monarchy, with legislative
chamber. Much es we may deplore their present
condition, 1t Is tar more tolerable than Turkish
bondage.
But now let US examine the eulogium on the
honest Turk The war was carried on against the
creeks in the most barbarous manner. The de-
sruction OF Scio is the most awful act recorded in
history That beautiful island had been the fa
vorite OF the Sultans; its revenues were appropri
atsd to the expenses of the Serago. The inhabi-
ants, accustomed only to agriculture and COM
nerce, were ignorant of the use of arms, and |
.verse from war. Compelled by their habits and po-
lfion f.om engaging in the conflict, they. had re-
used to take any part. Like the sope of Cuba,
hough they felt their grievances, they were con-
'cious OF the hoT ,lessness Of resistance, and like
'hem' they refused to give countenance to their |
own coun.rymen' whose heet appeared off the |
