Lola Montez on the United States.

Alas alas the gentle and chaste Lola
Montez has followed the example of other
foreigners, who, after enjoying our hospitali
ties and distinguished consideration, go home
to amuse our Jealous enemies on the other
side of the big pond, by showing up our pee
cadilloes and peculiarties as people and a
nation. Here is sketch we find in the Bal
timore Exchange, Of the tenor of Lola's lee
lures in the old country on America and its
people,"
That very virtuous and discreet lady, Lola
Terpsichore, Countess of Landsfeldt, has been

We regret to say that she does not tell her
Celtic countrymen who the distinguished
gentlemen were that unbosomed themselves
to her in so affecting manner. "The State
of New York" says Lola, with fidelity to
truth that does her the highest honor, "is so
nOtoriously corrupt, that its citizens have
taken the control of their affairs out of the
hands of the police, on the ground that the
State was incapable of governing them; and
yet it is mistake" she adds sagaciousy, "to
suppose that the masses of the people have
any very nice, or very enlarged views of
liberty. They talk good dead about it, and
live in the happy deluson that theirs is the
only free governmenton the face of the earth,
and vet there are few monarchies in Europe
that dare to assume powers more dictatorial
than it exercises"
In her charming way, Lola next touches
upon the aristocracy of New York, and with
a curling lip, remarks that one of the Gov

may account satisfactorily for the fact that
Lola obtained no foothold whatever in what
is usually called good society" We are
rejoiced to hear that her present lecturing
