2599. EMIGRATION, Eastern.—

The
emigrations from the Eastern States are what
I have long counted on. The religious and
political tyranny of those in power with you,
cannot fail to drive the oppressed to milder
associations of men, where freedom of mind
is allowed in fact as well as in pretense.—
To Dr. B. Waterhouse. Ford ed., ix, 533.
(M. 1815)
