,.yiny, Before closing our remarks,
ve leel ourselves In duty bound TO give
p,bliei,y to the testimony OF Captain
p,sbafd,on. master OF the Brooklyn Ia
,e,afd to the general character Of the
tmerants, as II has been developed
during a long voyage round Cape Horn.
OF their general behavior aud character,
he speaks in the most favorable manner.
They have lived in peace together and
uaIiomly appeared to be quiet and
orderly. They are going with the full
determination Of making a settlement,
aud have brought plows, carts, seythes
and ali kinds Of nusbandry implements
and tools for ship and house building.
Many of the emigrants coming from
New England and the middle states are
Inclined to transplant some OF the noble
Institutions OF their native regions
.ptain Richardson informs us that
dlnug most OF the passage they have
maintained orderly and well conducted
daily religious exercises, which still
continue while lying in port. During
the passage OF the Brooklyn there have
occurred ten deaths, four adults and six
children, and two births. A male child
horn before doubling the cape was call.
I'd Atlantic, and female child born this
SIDE Is called Pacific.
This numerous company Of emigrants
arc soon to leave for their new home,
may Il prove more peaceful than the one
they have lei. So Tar as their minds
may have been led TO embrace error,
ma, u be fenounecd That we differ
Upon many essential points OF doctrine
and Practice Is clearly manifest, yet our
best WISHES and prayers 20 with them.
May the fostering smiles OF kind and
b nignant providence rest upon them.
They arc TO lay the foundation OF society,
and Institutions, social and religious. .,
may they be such that coming genera.
tons shall rise up and call them bless
