    Extracts from Letters lately received from the Back Settlements of Ame ~ rica . [ As we have occasionally inserted passages of letters from the American Western Settlements , which have excited some interest , and even encouraged some of our . readers to entertain

    the design of emigration , we deem it right to give insertion to the extracts that follow . They are not altogether consistent , but b y Comparing them the true state of things may perhaps be discovered . The fength of them will occasion the postponement of other

    communications : we are anxious , however , that our readers should know all that is written home upon the subject , that we may b $ relieved from all responsibility with regard to the various communications of our Correspondents . Ed . 1

    I . Letters from Indiana . Sir , Plymouth , July , 1820 . YOU have sometimes amused us by letters in the Repository from different persons travelling or settled in the United States , but they have been , I think , descriptions of the fair side of things , and have had a tendency to increase our dissatisfaction with the

    state of things here , while they have moved us to the desire of emigrating . I am now fully satisfied , that we have obtained only a half-view of that very early estate of society into which our

    English friends transport themselves , when they are tempted to undertake the cultivation of theBapk Settlements of America , and I know well * that had some of our friends been at all aware

    of wl ^ at they should 'ft « fle ^ 4 ) eftnrei « ven » tolerable state ? of ^ comfort could be acquired ; they would still ihavfc remained attached to Old England i with all its disappoihtments and ^ fears .
