Then again, ha would try to swell tho population by olfering inducements to practical farmers—-men educated in the science of agri culture, and who would bo found in great num bers in the United Kingdom—to (Mine here and throw in their lot with the colonists, to share our genial climate, our rich soil, and our free institutions.
