Dependence kere in the affairs of Government is precisely in the inverse ratio of what takes place in Europe . The people here do not acTpendT upon those that govern diem ; btit the latter , as such , depend constantly upon the good-will of
the people . * « We know ve * y wen that , of f&e quantity <> £ > &t&gmt& who > every year cone to oar country to fix their abode , none of them cx > me from taste ^ or from any regard ta . a country to which they ace totally st&angersy and of which the Germans do not understand even the

Thud weexpeet to * see very few mdivkiuals of Europe v « ho enjoy in their own country ease , feappineses of even any gratification , wme * nd seUle kt America * Those who
are happy and contented remain at home , and it requires a principle of motion not less powerful thaa Wa&t to remove a man from his native country , and the place where the toibbs of his ancestors are placed . Of the small number of emigrants of fortune who endeavoured to
settler m our country , a considerable" portmt were dissatisfied with our singular cu&oms , am * after * certain residence ; retuitied hoftfe .

already find many people thinking ( and I am incKned to their opinion ) that a Cetttr&l Committee would greatly faeilitate the spread and operations of our Fellowship Funds , which would then profeaWf be more efficaciously efcaplbytid . Now jfhis supposes some new
