stance caused the beer to work on Sun
day This is certainly a specimen of
religious hypocrisy They glory in des-
ignating their country as "the land of

Saturdays eat salt fish and apple pies.
Boston, their capital, abounds how
ever in men eminent in letters. 1t is
the Athens of the Union; it was the
cradle of liberty, and produced several
of her most jealous defenders in her
councils as on her battle fields. Instruc.
tion is there on more extended scale
than in any other part of the world.
They have extensive views, and possess
within themselves all that leads to great
results without, however, abandoning
the sordid principles of gain. In point
of politics, these six states are united and
vote as one individual. Within them
is the seat of commercial interest, al
though, for some years, they have
ures, with the success which attends all
they undertake. The country is very
populous - extremely we'll cultivated,
and the capital there employed in agri
culture is even as considerable as that
absorbed by commerce.
New York.
"The Middle States are far from
being so united in interest, or possessing
so marked characteristic. The state
of New York forms nation of more
than million souls.
"Nothing in the world can be COM
pared to the spirit of enterprise, activity
and industry of the people. There are
no contracted views here-they talk of
dollars by the million; matters of inter-
est are conducted with remarkable
rapidity, and without risking any very
serious reaction. All goes forward with
regular but giant strides. This state of
things received great impulse from
the active genius of the Governor, M.
De Witt Clinton, in whom originated
the first idea of forming the great canal
which unites Lake Erie to the sea. The
activity of the state is so powerful, that
it is entirely absorbed in itself, and has
no time to trouble itself with the affairs
of the Union. In general her influence
therein is hardly felt; for, being alb.
sorbed in herself, as it were, she central.
ICES in her own deputation the interest
of agriculture, commerce, and manu-
facture. Commercial interest is, how.
ever therein paramount. 1t is some.
what remarkable that this state has
furnished but few men of superior gen.
ius to the national councils. Their
talents seem absorbed and in measure,
| annihilated in internal nOlicv which ia
