tant, the perusal which would bitty deeply
interesting, so highly liiiieffeial to the great
mass of Pennsylvanians as that which dl
rectly relates to the Great IVestern Conn
try. But few peraeuif who have visited the
several States in the Western country hive
ever written a true and full :tumid, of them,
although any description liliveser brief,
would have been rife with interest concern-
Mg them.
It is greatly : to be regretted that many of I
our citizens have, within the past few years
left thiir native homes. and hastened to a
far \distant land unprepared for the many
trials and misfortunes that have since fallen
to their account, apt the result is, that many
of them have returned weaker ur circum
stances and body than when they left, and
not a few, new" sleep beneath the sod of
the prairies. Many, too, havit gone and pur
chased property; at eahorbitant priesoictivideh
from the seeming beauty of the leeation they
had been induced to give,. and now that they
have long attempted its cultivation properly,
the fruits of their hard and mistiest labors,
will not correspond with their then highly
excited antleipatious. True, there are
those who have gone West and have been
been remarkably fortunate in all their under
takings prosperity has showered its bless•
ings upon them, but that sueeere, is attribu
ted to their previous, and full knowledge of
the benefits that would result from their
purchase, and by their judicious system of
ni,anagi meat have become what they are.
rt. is established as a rant undoubted, that
excitement is a %cry pleasant stimulant for
a pi nem to rally with fur awhile—but like
all' effervescent stimulants it leaves its bad
effects, and that too very of ten to the detri
ment of 'the Oahu/kink.
This Western excitement has been one of
the greatest, yea, the king of all public ex ,
eitements, the longest lived and the MOM
cats!.
in view, therefore, of all these consider
ations, may 'we not esteem it an act of great
bent velenee in that person, who re•
garilfetn of all pecuniary eonsidet
willingly devote Ina tune and talent for the
benefit of ethers. This our esteemed friend
and antho'r, Mr ; Frank M. Streamer lira
done, in relatiou to Lis eat relive of the
" (treat Wort'' and the Sunny South."
Having, travelled &Wont constantly, since
his departure Iron, this, his native State, we
know of none that is better qualified to 4: To
niiiire faithful and correct account of ihe
great stbject b 8 has undertaken, written IS

bespeak for him a careful perusal of his
highly interesting narrative.
