None but men of good morals, and, according to the expression of the day, real terriers, that is to say, determined to settle as agriculturists, were recentfd into these settlements. To each settler a gun, a mattock, an axe, a ploughshare, a scythe, a sickle, and an auger were given, besides one sow, six hens and a cock, six pounds of powder, and twelve of shot. The State also undertook to feed him for eighteen months after his arrival at the place of his destination. Unmarried men enjoyed equa...l prerogatives, with the exception that their support at the expense of the State began only on the day that they contracted a marriage. Every two inhabitants 142 AMERICAN POWER. were provided with a cow and a yoke of oxen, which they were bound to replace after the first year. The State also supplied the colonists with seed for their cleared lands for the first year, which were not to be replaced till the third year. These dispositions on the part of the French government to colonize as actively as possible their north-west possessions did not prevent the English government, according to their praiseworthy habits, from disposing of a portion of this territory in favor of their own subjects.
