as if in labor there was no essentially moral element, and no morality in public political life!* Let all have their due!

Although much still remains to be related, I must break off and conclude this last American letter for want of time. I have here seen, heard, and learned, more than in any equal portion of time in my life; so that I regard my journey as fully justified and abundantly rewarded. I shall always remember the United States, in spite of some little drawbacks, with feelings of interest, gratitude, and admiration.

You will understand and feel, that a longing for home, and love for my native country, are perfectly compatible with the sentiments I have expressed. Nevertheless, I distinctly foresee, and am sorry to say it, that in both respects I shall be assailed with loud complaints and bitter reproaches. Yet I cannot let this consideration induce me to timidly conceal what, after diligent investigation, I feel to be the truth, or to color it in conformity with party prejudices.

* Among many toasts offered on public occasions, I will give a few as specimens. "The ladies! the only aristocracy that can be borne. They govern without laws, decide without appeal, and are never in the wrong !"-"The ladies! in happiness and misfortune always valued and dear to us; and without whom life would be a burden!"-"The beauty of a cultivated woman; it is the only tyranny a man should ever submit to!" Not content with these marks of regard, a female traveller complains that the republican Americans are inconsistent in not allowing their women the full exercise of civil rights. But it does not appear that they themselves are very desirous of such an emancipation, or consider their present influence too small.
