A NEW STOCK OF ROUPT Sr. STUCKERT'S Allentown, Pa., August 6, 1856. THE GERMANS OF PENNSYLVANIA. ET TUC REV. E. W. IlurrEn So deeply is the State of Pennsylvania in debted forher prosperity to the GEUMAN portion of her citizens, that we feel that an article devo ted to them, will not be out of place in this me ridian, where they comprise no large a part of, the population.. The German character once employed the pen of the learned and enlighten ed Tacitus, one of the first historians of antiqui ty. They evidently inherit all the virtues as cribed by this author to their ancestors, With few of their vices, which Christianity has in a great , 1 measure banished from among them, These ancestors migrated chiefly from the Palatinate, from Alsace, Swabia, Saxony, and Switzerland, with an admixture of natives of every princi pality and dukedom in Germany. When we reflect, nt this day, that the stock of most of these bold pioneers in the settlement of Penn sylvania, consisted only of a few pieces of gold or silver coin, a chest of clothing, a Bible and 1 a Psalter, and that now their descendents are scattered nearly over the whole West, and own the most immense possessions, we are forcibly struck with the miraculous changes wrought in the progress of time by an Overruling and Di vine Hand. If it were possible to determine! the relative proportions of these sums, the con trast would form such a monument of human nu:instils and ECONOMY as has seldom been witnessed in any age or country on the face of the earth. The principal part of the Germans of Penn sylvania are -Farmers—hardy anti industrious tillers of the soil—the most noble of all the se cular occupations which can engage the atten tion of man. More skilful cultivators of the earth, too, we hazard nothing in saying, can be found nowhere in this country, or any other, between the rising and the setting of the sun. The GermaAs set a great value upon patri monial property. This useful principle in hu man nature prevents much folly and vice in young people. It moreover lends to lasting and extensive advantages in the improvement of a farm ; for what inducement cap be'stronger to a parent to plant an orchard. to preserve forest trees or to build a commodious ninl dura ble house than the idea, that they will be pc s sessed by a succession of generations who shall inherit his blood and name ?- What strikes a traveller through our Ger man counties most forcibly, is their mammoth barns, called in their own language Schweiizei- Scheuer. Indeed it is their invariable custom, in settling a new tract of land, first to provide large and suitable accommodations for their horses and cattle, before they expend much mo ney in building a house for 'themselves. No feature in their character speaks so loudly in behalf of their humanity, ns this willingness to stiffer disconfitme themsdres rather than impose it on the. dumb and un-minplaining beasts. They believe with King S,doinnn, that "tt righteous man regardeth the lit of his beast." But from this let it not be inferred, that their dwellings arc deficient in the comforts of life. The reverse is true. No class, so emphatically live "on the fat of the Ism]," —a nd none boasts of so many and such substantial do mestic enjoyment. CM Another * fact, which never fails to rivet the attention of a stranger, is the extraordinary size and strength of their horses. A German horse is known in every part of the State. lie seems to " feel with his lord" the pleasure and pride of good and bountiful living. It is a well established fact. that the German horses of Pennsylvania irrform double the amount of labor of the New England or S aithern breed. from the fact that they are more plentifully fed. For the saute reason, their cows yield double the quantity of milk, au I of a quality vastly superior. In a word, a German firm can be distin guished from the farms of other citizens by the superior size of their barns--the plain but com pact construction of dwellings—the height of their enclosures—the extent of their orchards —the fertility of their fields—the luxuriance of their meadows —the giant strength of their cattle—and by a general appearance of plenty and prosperity in all that belongs to them. The favorable influence of Agriculture, as conducted by the Germans, in extuiding hu man happiness, is manifested by the joy they . express upon the birth of a child. ~No dread oil poverty nor distrust of Providence from an in- creasing family. depress the spirits of these in dustrious and fu g al people. Upon the birth of a son, they exult in the gift of a ploughman or a wagoner : and upon the birth of a daughter they rejoice in the addition of a spinster or milk-maid, to their family. Happy state of hu-) man society ? What blessing can civilization confer, that can atone for the ancient and pa trier chat pleasure of raising up a numerous and healthy family of children to labor fur their pa rents, for themselves, and for their country : 1 and finally to partake of the knowledge and : happiness which. are Annexed to existence, both in the life that now is, and in that which is to come. The joy of parents upon the birth of a child, is the grateful echo of creating goodness. May the hills and valleys of Pennsylvania be forever vocal with songs of joy upon these oc casions ! They are the infallible signs of com parative innocence. absolute industry, wealth and happiness in the State. The German Mechanic, too, is a most useful and enterprising citizen, possessing all the traits of character in common with the Farmer. Ills first ambition, on starting into life is to become a Freeholder, so as not, to live in a rented house —and the highest, temporal delight ho can en• joy springs from his ability to declare : " This house is my own." Admirable equality that, which renders him afraid of Debi, that prolific source of 'Misery, and Want, and Crime ! " The borrower is servent • to the lender." "Owe no man anything. except to love him." But the genius of the Germans of Pennsylva nia is not confined to Agriculture and the Me- chanical Arts. Many of them have acquired great wealth, too, by foreign and domestic commerce. IMO But another tfrz,t which speaks louder in their praise than any other, is this; that they are particularly attentive to the religious education of their children, and to the establishment and support of the Christian Religion. For this purpose they make the erection of a School House and a PlaCe of Worship the first of of their care. - But they do not stop here.— 1 hey take great pains to introduce in their off• spring, not only habits of labor, but a lore of it. In this they submit to the irreversible sen- I tcnce pronounced upon man. in such a manner as to convert the Wrath of Heaven into private and public happiness.—" To FEAR COD AND TO LOVE Won't" are the first lessons they teach to their children. As members of Civil Government, too. the Germans are, in the most exalted sense, patri otic and useful. Strongly attached to the prin ciples of our free institutions, and contributing largely to the public revenue, they constitute the " bone and since'' of the State. Many of them have become eminent in the Science of, Government, and they have furnished some ofi our most distinguished Statesmen. who have served in the highest Executory and Legislative offices. Wo will be content with reference to a single illustrious example, the revered Stmox SNYDER, whose name has become the very synonyme of sterling sense, unflinching honesty and far seeing sagacity—and whose administration of the Chief Magistracy of Penn sylvania, for .a period of nine years. is referred to, at the present day by men of all parties as a very model of good Government. The Germans of Pennsylvania. to their credit be it spoken, never besiege the Government for favors in their domestic pursuits. They are never known to crowd the legislative halls, clamorous for special privileges, and rely for wealth and prosperity, not on' Acts of Assem bly, but on their own daily acts and industry. Tlvy are. perhaps, the only class of people who practically regard Government, its object and its functions, in their true light. All that they desire from Government is to be id u/one. As neighbors, they are extremely kind and friendly. They frequently help to assist each other by loans of money for a short time, with out interest. But, to secure their conridence, it is necessary to be punctual, as they never lend money a second time to one who has once violated his obligation. We have heard it re marked, that during the War of Independence there were very few instances of any of them discharging a bond or a debt, in depreciated pa per mousy' These are some of the traits of character which have raised the Get-titans of Pennsylvania to a degree of moral and political elevation sur passed by no other race of men in the world. From this proud spectacle we Tony learn to prize knowledge and industry in Agriculture, coupled a due observance of Christian duty, as The basis both of domestic happiness and national prosperity.

Almost fabulous prices are some. times Tait] for them. The rich laces used in this country are all imported from Europe. The reason of this is that American girls are 'not willing—and we trust they will never he corn• polled—to work for five dollars a month, and foreign manufacturers could undersell the na tive artisan. The costliest specimens of lace are easily dispo4ed of. Lace at twenty dollars a yard—and that but one tenth of a yard wide—' finds ready purchasers ; so do capes at two' hundred dollars apiece, and jets at one hun dred. The demand for rich laces is constantly increasing. outrunning the supply, thus appro. elating the prices, and consequently the genu ine article can only be sworn by the wealthy. The signing of the treaty of pence at Paris, too, it is said. will have the ilfect of greatly enhanc ing the price of laces : for the Russian ladies n•lto doat upon laces, and are not deterred by expense, having had the market closed against then for the last eighteen months, will now open wide their purses to obtain the coveted arti cles. There never being a surplus of laces, their value must consequently be augmented. Belgium supplies the American ladies with more laces than all the countries of Europe to gether, and laces of the rarest kind, finest quality and most artistic design. In fact lace is indigenous to Belgium, and has been so fir generations. In some parts of Belgium, the flowers are made separately, and then worked into the ground, while others carry on the pat- would put a questi,m, upon which he expec ted all to vote in view of the estimation they placed upon their souls.
