SOCIETIES
The genius of our institutions, add

tinue so Inviting to the enje^riilns
and the industrious in Europe, Ihat.
Emigrants , i*$ne from alt poUits of
tlie old workl in ir constantly increase
ins throqgto* the shores' of Liberty.
The stream, instead of losing strength
or rapidity iu great Westerly
tmtrpe, appears, on the contrary, to
gather greater volume and velocity.
Whilst ye endeavorto profit by the

to coovort to our use* we ought not lor

wealth. "We ought to contjacf' the

Emigrant Societies are, hi this view,
the most useful of institutions. They
