one year since their arrival the valley, and the con-
sequence is their names have been entered on the

the Lord. The reason for this is, mans name is
entered on this book, only when he makes settlement

:" With the most wonderful talent for self exhibition,
we find him reduced by American ingenuity TO minis
tering merely to the magnifying of Others With the
most singular tact, and the most unaiing flow of
tory, he is yet match for American audacity and
perseverance. His most fervent appeals and glowing
periods have no chance against the enthusiasm of
American vanity. Truly, that must be great nation
in whose school for Democrats Louis Kossuth must be
content 10 learn rather than lecture"
