CONCLUSION. 



S99 



the possibility of their being all governed from 

 Buenos Aires will rapidly diminish. 



During these or similar events, the provinces of 

 the Rio Plata must necessarily be in a troubled 

 and unsettled state. The national government, 

 thwarted in its plans, deserted sometimes by one 

 province, and sometimes opposed by another, must 

 often, unavoidably, act contrary to the interests of 

 those plans it may have suggested ; while the pro- 

 vincial governments must often suddenly be over- 

 turned, be annihilated and remodelled, until pro- 

 sperity has afforded to society the liberal principles 

 of a good education, which, with time and expe- 

 rience, will at last constitute governments practically 

 suited to the country. 



If the state of the provinces of Rio Plata has 

 been correctly sketched, and if the above should be 

 a fair statement of some of the probable difficulties 

 which these provinces will experience in their pro- 

 gress towards civilization, there are two questions 

 to be considered, which are very material to the 

 interests of many individuals in our country. 



1st. Is it adviseable for those who are in r^- 

 duced circumstances in England to migrate to 

 these "provinces ?
