Whereat, The Legislature of said State ia not now in session, and cannot be convened iu time to meet the presimt Demaad for Anerlcan Wires. If we send many more disUnguished Admirals and Genembi to Europe, there must b e sent also only ricb men to ri'i>- resent us a t the capitals of these foreign States. If a man of note from the Uni- ted States can b e got hold of, wherever it may be, it is the opjiortnnity fumisli- ed for the reunion of a variety of nation- alities, repre^n.'nted in great part by handsome ^oung men looking after American wives. Of late wo liavo ba d proof of it here iu repeated instances. Well-dressed Italians, very good looking in jwrson, with titles and a knowledge of (dl tb e usages of what is called hociety, are now on the huut for the chiuice of a life alliance with some charming dnufi^h- ter of the sovereign West I n America it bos long been the battit to say tbat a young man ia \ worthless\ when he does not apply himself to business, or, even worse, make the nilc of his life a daily indulgence in tippling exeitements. Of Italiansitmnst besaid tliey have been saved, almost as a nation, from intem- perance, or immoderate drinking—the withering curse of the NorUiem race. A \worthless\ Italian, however long ma^y lie bis family line, or the numl>er of his titles, is the one incapable of doing any- thing for himself, an»t vnX\\ only tlie un- ninnly ambition to live UiKin the fortune of others. America is distant from Europe not less iu habits than in history; litit there, with nn almost unnatural force, many half-worn-out illusions are emergency, nnd the Executive of said \ kej>t up .
