esculent plants for himself; keeps fowls in his yard•
sells at market, and in the smoke of his chimney
hangs the joint of a hog, from which he cuts a
slice at the calls of appetite. He wears a smile on
his countenance, is fat and saucy among his fellows,
laughs with a vehement heart, can dance to a banjo,
and freely indulges in his talent for music.
Slavery is a national evil which the Americans
deeply * deplore. It is against the spirit of their in.
stitutions and must have an end. Ilut there is no
redemption for the English peasantry; they lie at
the bottom of the fabric of society whose pressure,
like that of the pyramid, is in proportion to its
height. They have not the strength to throw off
the incumbent mass, which, like the structure to
which I have compared it, seems destined to out
live many generations of men.
The ?ability are intrenched behind hereditary
wealth and privilege, and are, moreover, the best
educated class of men in Europe. More like po
tentates than subjects, they have much to loose and
nothing to gain by change. They are affable and
condescending without loss of dignity ; study to con
ciliate, and at the same time to inspire a respect for
themselves which forms the secret guaranty of their
power. There are always orators and statesmen
among them, read and practised in the mysteries of
legislation. Wisdom is power ; and it is the wisdom
of parliament that has raised England to such a
pitch of greatness and upheld a constitution which,
in any other country, would have long ago fallen
into ruins.
Learning in England is confined to a few; knowl
edge is taxed and cannot be bought by the poor. A
single newspaper costs six pence, which would give
bread to the hunpry. The light of the press, unlike
the rays of the sun, shines not upon the cottage
thatched with straw. There are author's of poor
laborers, operatives and mechanics, who feel the
weight of government without comprehending its
policy. The rulers practice upon the system of
Mandeville, and think it would be unsafe to instruct
such formidable numbers who might become inqui
sitive, and ask why they were fed on potatoes and
salt in sight of a park containing three thousand
deer to glut the appetite of a single man. Hence
them are no public schools for the instruction of the
poor; this in the work of charity and the church,
and not of the law. It was not until six years ago,
that parliament appropriated thirty thousand pounds
for this purpose—but little more than in given by
the State of Connecticut, with less than 300,000
inhabitants.
In England, the liberty of the press is a mere
delusion. The people do, indeed, enjoy the right of
complaining, and bitterly do they complain in every
morning and evening print, only to be laughed at
snd despised. But complaining affords relief as
shedding tears assauges sorrow, and this is all they
get for their pains. The naked, houseless multitude
continue to live and die as their fathers did for ages
past. They were expelled from their homes by
Wiliiam the Conqueror, who divided up the island,
as a loaf of bread, among his followers; and to this
day they have never been restored to the rightful
possession of the soil.

better in some place I had not seen. Still trusting
to representation, f set out for Devonshire, where,
in pursuance of my plan, I passed a month in Ex
eter and its vicinity.
My first visit was to a cluster of cottages, near
the confluence of the E7:e with the sea. The prin.
cipal personage in the village was a matron of fifty.
whom I found cutting up the flesh of a pig, and
converting every atom of it, intestines, feet, blood,
and all, into food for the coming winter.
In the hearth was the first comfortable cottage fire
I had seen. Near it sat the children, the eldest of
whom wore shoes, and were all, otherwise comforta
bly clad. The house was furnished in a style be
coming the opulent mistress of a pig; five chairs
with rush bottoms, two board tables, a small look
ing glass set in a frame, several little pictures affixed
to the wall ; a Bible, a prayer book, Goldsmith's
abridged History of England, and flower pots in
the window in which the geranium flourished.—
The whole wore an air of neatness, o virtue always
found among the English, where extreme poverty
does not forbid. At the sight of a shilling, she
called in a neighbor to tako her place, and set out as
my guide among the other cottages. We entered
nine in succession, where I beheld the same wretch
edness and modes of life that prevailed in Burner.
aetahire. differing only in the quality of food, which
was here cheaper, and consisted of fish.
In one of them were three children,—a daughter,
eighteen, and two small girls under ton years of age;
their mother was dead. The father presently en
tered from his labor in the fields. He was a small
man, as most of the English laborers are. His
feature. were swarthy and withered, for he was
near sixty; his hands were hard and fingers much
contracted; he wore knee breeches of fustian, patch
ed and worn sleek with dirt and grease; a sort of
gaiters that covered his legs; shoes of untanned
leather with thick soles, studded with projecting
nails that left their impression as he walked; a
jacket of coarse woollen fabric much tattered at the
elbows and sleeves; a shirt of calico, a strip of
checked handkerchief about his neck, and a small
flat round hat ; his whole apparel, as well as com
plexion, were colored with the MO forth in which
he had been at work.
llis food was ready at 12 o'clock. He ate, seated
on a stool on the hearth, with a white plate on his
lap, on which were potatoes and two ounces of
bacon. His children stow] by the aide of a board
table, and dined upon bread and the coleworts that
had been boiled with the bacon. His wages were
seven shillings aweek, out of which he paid cottage
rent. lie said he could " not afford meat for his
children nor for himself every day r that " he took
it all to himself that lie might have the strength to
work."
The eldest daughter wore shoes, but wee meanly
dressed, the other. were bare footed and in rage.--
The whole furniture in the house, including cook
ing utensils, would not have sold for twenty shil
ling..
Then were other cottages in which still greater
wretchedness woe visible, and others again, in some
what better condition ; this may be regarded as an
average specimen of the whole.
I passed several days five miles from Exeter, at
the beautiful mansion of Mr. -, who derives
his income from a sugar estate in South America.
I was received with the most liberal and enlighten
ed hospitality, and when my object was made known,
was accompanied by his excellent and accomplished
lady on a visit to no less than fifteen cottages in the
immediate neighborhood. The first we entered was
comfortable and altogether neat; but there were no
children to feed, and I soon discovered that the in
mate was indebted to the bounty of Mrs.- for
both food and clothing. The next was inhabited
by a widower, an infirm old man, who received only
five shillings a week. Ile was an object of public
as well as private charity. He could neither read
nor write. His children were dirty and half naked,
and though it was November, he was without fuel
or fire. The upper apartment, which I approached
by a sort of ladder, contained two filthy beds of
chaff, in such condition that the stench drove me
back as I opened the door.
We next visited a line of cottages that stood
immediately on the margin of a little stream that
had overflowed its banks and deposited mud on the
floors of the houses. In one of them was a mother
who had just been delivered of a child. Her feet
were raised upon a block to protect them from the
wet, and the chair in which she sat was the only
article of furniture in the apartment. The linen
and garments about the child were furnished her by
Mrs. -.
Here I learned from this good lady, that at the
birth of every child among the laborers, she sent the
mother a pair of sheets, a change of clothes, and two
suits for the infant—to be retained for one month,
then to be cleansed and returned in a bag ready for
other similar occasions. This custom, which I
found afterwards to prevail in Isleworth and other
parts of England, bespeaks at once the charity of
the rich and the frightful destitution of the poor.
She communicated many particulars concerning
the condition of the laborers on her own extensive
grounds and in the neighboring country, affirming,
from her own personal knowledge, that they could
not subsist on the wages they received, and were it
not for relief derived from other sources, they would
not have the physical strength to cultivate the earth.
The parents were generally unable to read, but
most of the children were then receiving the rudi
ments of education through the benevolence of that
lady, in a school where she maintained 172 at her
own expense. The scanty appropriation for the es
tablishmentof public schools is swallowed up before
it reached its destination. It was said that £70,000
were appropriated at the same time for the repairs
of the Queen's stables. Whether this be true or
not, it did appear on motion of Mr. Williams, in
March, 1843, that near a million of pounds, that is,
five millions of dollars, had been expended by gov
ernment on her different palaces and parka, since
the year 1835 ; and yet, during that time, only two
hundred and forty thousand pounds had been ap
propriated for public schools throughout the entire
realm.
stretched their vast dominions to the outer limits of
the earth; they have reached the summit of human
glory; but it is glory in rags. Of all nations they
are at once the richest and the poorest; the proudest
and most servile, the wisest and most ignorant—
Five thousand persons, titled by right and by court
esy, are provided for by their constitution ; a few
professional men, manufacturers, merchants and
tradesmen 'have provided for themselves. The
great appropriate the soil and its products, all pow
er and station to themselves; they spend their lives
in a perpetual gorgeous holiday, while the naked,
needy multitude live in a constant struggle for
bread.
There are few millions of laborers who cultivate
the earth, and six millions of operatives engaged in
manufactures, who possess no land, no, not a mole
hill; no vote; no home but at the will of a land
lord ; are hungry from morning till night, and sleep
and die on straw. If to these be added three mil
lions of paupers fed at the public charge ; the beg-1
gars that frequent the streets and highways; the
poor mechanics and journeymen, prostitutes and la
borers of every description,it may be safely affirmed,
that out of the twenty-six millions that inhabit the
three kingdoms, twenty millions—men, women and
children—daily feel the yearnings of unsatisfied
appetite. There is not a day that the newspapers
do not tell some piteous tale of destitution, and too
often has the surgeon's knife proved starvation to be
the cause of death. In 1842, the poor of Preston
cut and eat the flesh of a cow that died of disease,
which they dug up from the common where it had
been buried. The fact was published without con
tradiction in all the leading prints of the kingdom.
There is no hope of change for the better; the
right of suffrage, which is enjoyed only by a few, is
controlled by the great landholders, who buy votes
as a commodity in market ; and if every seat in the
Houee of Commons obtained by bribery were va
cated, it is not certain that a quorum would be left
to do business. The only sound institution in the
country is their judiciary. The judges, with some
few exceptions, have been an honor to human na
ture ; and the trial by jury is the solid column that
still upholds the cumbrous fabric.
During the years 1841-2-3, I entered 122 cotta
ges in Somersetahire, Devonshire, Lancashire, War
wickbbire, Surrey, Middlesex, and Kent, always
w i t h a viow' to understand a subject in which I felt
a deep interest. My first visit to Sontersetshire dis
closed the whole truth; I had nothing further to
learn, than that the some wretchedness, the same
round of potatoes and salt, the same appalling pic
tures of destitution and rugs, prevailed throughout
the Kingdom.

Congress,
Last week there was an able discussion in the
Senate, on Mr. MTMite's resolutions proposing to
lower the Tariff. Mr. M'Duffie, of South Caroli
na, made a speech in support of his resolutions, and
Mr. Evans, of Maine, replied in an able and trium
phant defence of the present duties.
In the House, a lively debate arose on the subject
of Western Improvements. Mr. Stewart, of this
State, made several speeches, for which he is called
a second Ogle"—no small praise that—and they
seem to have nettled the Locofocos nearly as much
as did the famous speech of Mr. Ogle in 1840.
Mr. Stewart made searching scrutinies into the ex
travagance and malpractices of the Locofoco party
when in power, 'which called forth Mr. Weller, of
Ohio, a blackguard rowdy, to defend the majority
in the House and the party to which they belong.
The coarse vulgarity of Mr. Weller, if he is repor
ted correctly, is a disgrace to the nation as well as
to his immediate constituents. In the House there
has also been warm discussion, during the past
week, on the 21st rule, relative to the reception of
Abolition petitions.
On Thursday morning Mr. Weller made a per
sonal attack in the lobby in the rear of the Speaker,
upon Mr. Schriver, a very unassuming, inoffensive,
modest and gentlemanly man, who is reporter of the
Baltimore Patriot. Mr. Schriver, it scorns, had
said something in one of his letters at which Mr.
Weller took offence; whereupon he resorted to
knock-down arguments, and, being of vastly supe
rior weight and strength, he soon prostrated his
of this, perhaps because it was not then in session.
Mr. Weller was afterwards bound over in the $lOOO
to keep the peace.
The Legislature,
Pennsylvania is at present blest with a Locofoco
Legislature, both branches, and a Locofoco Gover
nor, and perhaps some of the dupes of artful dem
agogues—such as have not yet learned that General
Jackson is not President—think now that democ
racy is triumphant, public affairs are getting along
prosperously.
Our legislators seem determined to distinguish
themselves for economy, retrenchment and reform;
but they have commenced and continued their work
in a way that is truly rediculous and disgraceful to
the Commonwealth. Their time is spent in ferret
ing out rascality charged by the Governor against
the State Printers and others, whom they (the le
gislators) do not feel disposed to bring to justice;
and their investigations have not as yet satisfied any
impartial mind whether the accused or the accuser
is the greater rogue; but every one can see that
their investigations have cost this debt-burdened,
tax-ridden state thousands upon thousands of dol
lars.
In the profundity of their wisdom, our legislators
have also resolved not to take the usual number
of newspapers during the session, at the public ex
pense. Well—some people u love darkness rather
than light." They take no newspapers! If other
publishers have been served the same as ourself
they will not regret this economical step on - the part
of the Solons. Although we have furnished papers
to members of the Legislature, on orders from the
clerks, we have yet to receive the first copper in pay
for them. We for one, don't solicit that kind of
patronage! But this living in darkness must be a
wonderful saving—a mighty set-off to the expense
of investigations into Locofoco rascality ;—but why
don't they resolve to do without candles—why
don't they close the halls of legislation and go home
to transact their own business at theirown expense?
They have shut out the light of the newspaper
press, and cut off thatexpense, but in its place there
is a tar greater expense. Every• few days we re
ceive public documents—some containing but one
and some two pages of printed matter, four by six
inches in size. Sometimes we receive as many of
these by one mail as will afford one to ourself and
one to each of the three workmen in our office;
and as they cost us nothing wo tender our grateful
thanks for them; but there is another part of the
story. On each of these o public documents" is
marked l2i cents postage, which is charged to the
State. Now when the Caine matter is printed in a
newspaper it makes from one half to a column, and
a dozen of these documents, with other matters of
interest could be sent to us at a cost of ono cent to
the Commonwealth.

Mr. M'Allister has been a resident of our town
but a few years, yet by his unassuming and correct
deportment, he had won for himself the esteem of
all who knew him. He was a member of the Pres
byterian Church, and throughout his long and pain
ful( sickness, the voice of murmur or complaint ne
ver rose upon his lips, but patiently and meekly he
bore the chastisements of His hand, who " clean
teneth whom He loveth," but he said with the
Psalmist "though he slay me still will I trust in
Him." None can tell of the consolations of reli
gion but such as stand around the dying bed of one
who " knows that his Redeemer liveth." There
can they see the Star of Hope grow bright in the
dim twilight of death, and faith strengthened as
the silent tread of decay creeps over the form.
Such was Mr. M'Allister in life—such in death.
Though in the prime of life—the "pitcher wee
broken at the fountain"—and the uncertainties of
life been exchanged for the realities of eternity. In
his death society loses a valuble citizen--the Church
an exemplary member—his friends an estimable
