INQUISITIVE REMARKS.
Might not plantations of the best foreign trees be introduced, to the great improvement of the country?
Is it not probable that the present revolution will give a new turn to the manners of the sexes, beneficial to both, by removing the unnatural and despotic restrictions now imposed on the women?
Is it not likely also that the priesthood may be disarmed, in the progress of civilization? At present, the clergy seem literally to constitute a "church militant."
Is it not possible, however, that the author of the foregoing letter, being a transient visitor at Buenos Ayres, has treated the clergy and their customs too harshly—by mistaking the latter?
Is there any danger of the constituent Congress playing the game of the Roman Decemvirs, and perpetuating their own power at the expense of the state?
