I I-visited this country, anal 14 years ago, end
finally settled here ten yritirs,eitiee. Fite years of
that time I spent in traveling in the Northwest,
which af f orded tee a fine oppurtrinity of becoming
itsclualtited with the country : ;The 'first time I
placed my feet on they I eautiful banks of Ruck
River, I - threw my eyes'in rapture across Mt Ml.
leg orairles, until sighttwas lust in dim emske;
yet for beyond this my! imagination new, until in
endless stases lost. - It was then that 10.000 y
- heads and involuntarily broke oat in lituguitge as
'follows :—''This the lend that given. to
man for hie everlasting possession." - Again
stretching out my right • band towards the IYest
and panting for breath' exclaimed, "All der.lbore

My friend who was near. ma immediately 1-11 ed

God the Son' forever reigns, and scatters night
away:! At this time a large portioo of the prai
ries was Government land and stood open for
try at
, - $1 25 per icre. Sines that time I have
taken a walk with a-„, gentleman from Danville,
'across the prairie within Cwo miles of my present
home. Looking at the prairie scenery, my friend
gave bivouac a signifietint whirl,. and broke, out
Atiththeitartling prediction,
that "in ten years
/this land Will b. worth $3O per acre." "Tea."
said he, "look at the millions of people that 11411
and must soon come erowding westward seeking
homes in this heeutiful country." I thought, him
a little extravagant in his calculations ; yet ere i
ten year, bad rolled 'away these lands had 'passed I
through several hands and were sought after at
$5O per acre. The'!rapid and wonderful rise of
property might he attributed to several causes.—
perhaps the mist 'prominent %rabid be the great'
Railroad advantages., Where I ant now writing
the.whistle of the locomotive on four diffident
Railroads may he heard with dudinetneas un

cheytered with Itiitroads, yet there arelleveral
others proceeding rapidly towards, completioir.-Z.
One from Racine Wisconsin, through die north.
_ inn p a rt of Winnebago Co., to Freeport -.and Ra
venna,
Illinois. Another one is being made from
Kenosha, Wisconsin, to Rockford, and, thence to
Rock Island, Monis. These two roads are pro
gressingeteadily even through'these times o f dis
tress and woe. Thus you see bow impossible it is
to crush out Western enterprise. Another eause
of lands increasing in value, is the astonishing
crops raised here during a few years past. Ton
in Schuylkill County,pay think it strange but it
is true, psi 4.5 , bushels per acre of wheat have
been mired here,'Jled that wheat hauled 3 miles
to some Railroad 'depot is sold at $t 2510 $1 40
per bushel I In one instance a New York fainter

his croft, ii there Th an paid fur hie for;. 'Fuer,

the visible appearance of this country. Elegetit
}liaises and•,eommodious bares soon dotted the
widespreading prairies. Cattle, horses, and everf
thing seemed to go up in proporituld "A' span of
your horses would readily bring froril3oo to $4OO
.yoke of oxen (middling) $l6O owe $4O to
$5O, Ac. Now I will ariewer a fie:lion often
asked,—"Wuuld I nut do, better blfgiling farther
West, where land is cheaper ?" My answer is,
that the lowest priced lands are not 'always the
cheapest., If lands are cheep - or farther West it
is because they are not worth so much. Chicago
will forever .be the great grain market of the
North.west t and each 50 miles transphrtation will
detract 64e-tents Off each bushel 'transported.—
Every bushel. brought across the Mississippi will
also take off five cents, as it is a matter of doubt
whether a bridge will be suffered to be built or re
main over that mighty stream. Thus markets,
with schools, churches, mills, bridges, and many
"titer facilities of civilization ahould• righteously
make noire than one ball dikurence in the price
of lands.
There are nevertheless, some objections to this
country. One 'is, the climate being rather eold in
the winter season fur the comfort, or the conveni
ence of those who are compelled to cross the prai
ries. In extreme cold
: weather it is felt mere se
verely on the'erairies; yet the atmosphere ts dry,
healthy and bracing,, not so dau, heavy. and
chilling as is generally felt further Smith. • Anoth
er objection lathe want of timb e r fur furl and
fencing. Butit seems as if Providence has been
thoughtful to supply this deficieney: by a tholes I
article of Bituthinous Coal, better than that found
in the vicinity of Pittsburgh. Within the last
three years, discoveries of Coal have been made
in all portions of Illinois end lowa, in largo quoit.

This election was warmly contested by the two political

Assuming • that the principles of t h e exist

vision( it is, regretted that the tariff of 1837 low

A to the best mode or revisi g the present tie.
