Be it Resolved, by the members of the Bar now in ai

we have already observed, it is not the families favored by
fortune that emigrate; those who have the command of a
sufficient capital to procure a comforable existence in their
native country, the scene of their halcyon days of infancy,
will rarely be tempted to renounce habits, friends, and re-
lations. to embark in what must always be attended with
hazard, and encounter the inseparable hardshipsof a pri-
mitive establishment. This accounts for the scarcity of
capital in newly settled colonies; and is one reason why i
it bgarsso high a rate of interest there.
In point offset, capital is of much more rapid accumula
tion in new colonies than incountries long civilized. It
would seem as if the colonists, in abandoning their native

The praise nr censure that men so often bestow upon one
another, is usually in excess. Situation and circumstan-
ces over which they have no control, generally determine
the choracter of individuals and of notion? New settle-
ments and distanttolonies require moral, intellectual and
physicatendowments that are rarely to be met with in ol
der communities 1 be spirit of adventure which prompts
the emigrant to try his fortunes amidst the perils and vi-
< cissitudes of unkown regions, is often deemed a moral

II Wm H Jack, and the sure and .......fully filictiog b-
fpr show, that costs so dear in Europe, and brings to poor
a return No qualities, but those of utility, are inestima-
tion in the country they are going to; and consumption is
limited to objects of‘rational desire, which is sooner satis
fied than artficiul wants The towns are few and smalt;
the lifefof agriculturists whici they must n- cessarily adopt,
is of all others the most economical; finally, their indus-
try is proportionately more productive, and requires a
smaller capital to work upon.
The character of the colonial government usually ac-
cords with that of individuals; it is active in the execution
, of its duties, sparing of expense, and careful to avoid quar-
rels; thus there are few tax' s, sometimes none at all; and,
since the government takes fittle or nothing from the reve-
nues of the subject, his ability to multiply his savings, and
consequently to enlarge his productive capital, is very
great With very little-capital to begin upon, the annual
produce of the colony very soon exceeds us consumption.
