EMIGRATION TO AMERICA. of fVrschniont, es if.somc malignant :p,\ tithan chosen this auspicious moment to bla^t the hopes of the old world. And who can doubt that this has been done ? Who can doubt that a feeling of disgust and indignation has |>pea rooted fa the minds of the honest and discerning at the profligate scenes so lately exhibited on the political thea¬ tre, by those who call themselves the liberators of Europe, and that men are tiyiug, under flie tin pulse-of tenor and hatred, from the scourge of legitimacy —happ, to find one asylum in the world undeliled by its blood-stained footsteps. Europe has had changes and revolutions enough during the last thirty years, but nothing resembles this. In these the passions and inter- ests of rulers were generally the mo¬ ving principle, always the directing and controlling power : hut. in this we see the inlluence of a new settlement, that has grown tip in silence, in the bo¬ som5 Iff private life, and is now working unprecedented effects on the character, £lno$ eventually, oil 'he destinies of mail, A passion for liberty—a thin ir 5 j scarcely known in the world, even by firtme, two centuries ago—has not only sprung into existence, but seems to oc¬ cupy all the u*ua! motives of human action,, and by a secret sympathy to lis the regards of all its votaries on the Western Continent, as on a rhocca sanctuary. In every country its per¬ vading energy is felt, and its effect ma- nifeSted. It has subdued th:; national vanity of the French, the phlegm of the German, the ardent love of country of the Swiss and the Irish, aud the sell- sufficient spirit of the Em:li>b. In all these it has severed the thousand ties that hind our atfevtion to the land of our birth. It is no doubt true, thai hig-b wages and cheap lands arc the inducements with some who go (0 A- .merica : but when we reeolU.-et that Russia has been inviting settlers from the civilised nations of Europe in the Crirma for twenty years pa*t, and that the "M'omise of free lauds, with j>r.»tec- t'ou and immunities, has scarcely pro¬ duced any effect ill turning the stream of emigration in that quarter, although so much nearer, we shall be satisfied thai the multitudes who ure pouring into (he United States are swayed by motives of a very different 'description. Indeed, we hvlh'vc, no careful ami ho¬ nest observer will deny, that as the love of religious liberty first planted civilization in the 'American solitudes so it is the Icvc of civil :; ><>:♦) iW lion oNv.T-ue.

As the excess of popul^. tion arising above the means of subs'rs. tence and employment, is the sourer of a great proportion of all the othei evils that ahMict humanity, the frieiM of man who wished to improve the star* of society would desire nothing so mucl as an unlimited outietof this kind tr carry off its surplus numbers. Then is, no doubt, however, a material los; in rearing citizens for another commu- nity. The population of a country if part of its capita), aud those who art carried off by emigration belong chief, ly to the most productive clashes. The\ consi t tor the greater part, of men ii the prime of life, with the powers 0 their body and mind matured, theirhn- hits formed, and their professional skill perfected.—Such men are evi. deirtly the nerves and sinews of natiotn a I .strength : aud this truth becomes still more obvious, when we recoiled that not more than one third of those who are born reach the age of thirty- six, and, consequently that the value to society of an active man, at that pe¬ riod of life, includes not only the ex« pence and trouble w hich it has cost to bring him to this state of full maturity and usefulness, but likewise tiie ex- pence aud trouble bestowed on the oth¬ er two-thirds who have perished before society could reap uny benefit from their labors.— It is evident that to lose a :;"•- ven number of such men, is a very dif¬ ferent thing from losing an erjual num¬ ber of persons taken indiscriminately from both ^exes, and from the old and yOung. Notwithstanding thi«, howev¬ er, the soundest views of political «*'* ent'e teach us, that a country may have too-many citizens, even of the most productive classes ; and that, when this i* the ca^e, the superfluous num¬ bers area source of misery lo the cla*s they belong to, and poverty and weak¬ ness to the state. As this i* probably the condition ofmost of the older r.u- ropean communities, emigration. w»tn all the disadvantages enumerated, be¬ comes beneficial : and, at the pi-cent crisis in particular, wheu couibiu*t>u° 39
