This is a subject well worthy of con sideraton.s We should thus get rid of a portion of our country whose early history IS lhe greatest blot on our national record :; people who, professing 10 be friends of freedom, and who annually hold public ,abilees to declare that all the civil, reli- lTlous and political sliberties ever known in sae Union, was imported in the May flower, and that when the infant fnde- Dsndsnce put his foot upon Plymouth Tasock, he grew anaineh an hour, until he now stands witlione foot upon tue supken sea ssea chests in Boston Bay and the other kaee-deep in,ahe snows of-the Sierra. l IS true, that the pious Pilgrims, whom 1t rsour yearly duty to. worship, and pefpet- ually Spraise, .as iheSJialhefs of freedom, were guilty of stealing the land that they settled on.from a race of red men, but that race were nothing but Indians, noth-I ing like such as people asslhe AlabamaI negroes upon whom the decendents of the Puritans now, delightto pour forth buckets and barrels of sympathy.

 Two things grow about Boston like jim son weeds about the Commons. around Covinglon: one Is liberality, and the other is modesty. A Bostonian Is a syno- nym for generosity, and close, screwiug bargain driving character is unknown in Yankee land their liberal, open n-hearted impulses, are chiefly confined, however, when upon large scale in attending to | the negroes of the South, or patronizing in the most coudescending manner any thing that happens to originate inl the west. But their system of laudingi every thing in the sacred circle of Boston, is wofthy-ofsthe ingenious vii of the per son mentioned by Rabelais who used an instrument denominaled a seif.iickler. = Tie complacency with which this mutual admiration society survey each other, and sit for the portraits of model philosophers, poets, politicians, savuns, and statesmen. IS charming. There is nolhing too pro- found for their comprehension, or too re- fined for their taste: they are oracles upon music, the drama, poetry, books, paintings and sculpture. G
