AMERICA.
A country, almost fresfy from (he
hand of Nature, which ihopts it
self into almost, e very climate, and
teems with the . productions of al- '
most evety soil, opens her bosom j
to the foreigner of cvefy .clime, j

of the human family expresses her
claims. It is thu* that America,
addresses her older and arrogani
sisters *. . !
