But each, in the execution of a design, grand in half,
but selfish in the object, was backed by the resources
of an empire. It may be safely affirmed, that history
does not record the names of towns and tides where
growth has been as rapid, without the aid of govern
ment, as that of many places in our western country.
There are none whose progress has been more aston
ishing than that of Chicago and Milwaukie. The
letter place, (in which the first house was put up nine
years ago) now contains a population of come 10,000.
This growth, you may say, has been attained during the
last four years. Immediately after the town was laid
out, the hard times net in, and for some years greatly
checked the improvement of the place.
All this is the result of individual energy. What a
proud reflection for an American citizen! What a glo
rious exhibitien'of the practical workings of our re
publican system. How natural, how inciitable it is,
that the whole region tattle south of us, aster as',the .
Isthmus of Panama, and ell the territory north of us
as far as the frozen ocenn, should fall under the do
minion of such supetior enterprise.
One would suppose that a place where growth has
been so rapid, had got beyond its resources—beyond
its depth "like little wanton boys that swim on blad
ders." This is not so. It is but keeping puce with
the improvement, and growing productiveness cf the
country back of it, and with the increased trade, flow.
ing to it from all quarters- In many parts, the Conn-
try to the west, which 10 years ago was without civil
ized inhabitants, now looks as if it had been settled for
half a century. The largest amount of the domestic
emigration is from New York and New England.—
Many larmers from that region go out with ample
means and full handed. They find nn abundance of
land, already cleared and prepared for their opera
tions by,the hand of nature. They settle on prairie
land, and put in large crops the very first season. Some
have been known to put in from 300 to 500 acres in
wheat, and raise from 12000 to 15000 bushels the first
I I
year. In certain seasons of the year, the streets ofl
Milwaukie ate crowded with wagons and sleds, la
den with this great staple.
The great tide of emigration is to 'Wisconsin. The', ,
foreign emigrants are, generally speaking, decent, or
derly, industrious people, who will readily adopt the
tone of public sentiment, and the customs prevalent in
the country, and become good citizens. Milwnukie is
the point fur which they all steer. Besides bringing
with them a good name and good habits, they add in
no small degree, to our "circulating medium"—rand
their additions are of the best quality. They bring
with them gold to make their purchases of land. One
names ous class of them have been subjects of Berna
dotte—Norwegians, who Gate found out that cattle,

that labour has a better chance under a republic, than
under a monarchy, eve, as mild and paternal as diet of
Sweden. They farm settlements in colonies, based
upon a conformity of res 'belief; and bring their
pastors and religions teachers 'rich them. Some are
Episcopalians—others are Lutherans.
A t almost all seasons of the year, you may see inter
minable processions of lead teams wending their way
on the main roads leading to NlilwatAtie. They are
generally covered, like the Pennsylvania rood wagons
and are drawn by oxen. To every wagon there are
from three to five yoke. The driver carries a whip of
enormous length, made of a birch pole and a snipe(
bull's hide, each not less than 12 feet long. These
lead teams are called "prairie -schooners." The dri
vers present good-speeimens of the hardy pioneers cf
the West. They are a happy set of follows and eve

ing a tittreller" they disdain the shelter and eomfotts
of a tavern. They go so many miles each day, and
halt over night at some pleasant place in the woods by
the road side.
The river forms an exce:lent harbor. The Govern
ment are improving the entrance at the mouth. They
are carrying on their operations at the wrong point.
The locution of the work has produced immense dis
satisfaction amongst the citizens of the place. They
have one and all pointedly condemned it. And it has
been condemned by every captain of every vessel on
the Lake. The Government petists in the location,
solely upon the recommendation or reports of some of
its agents, who have never had a hand on a rope, or
in the navigation of a vessel in their lives. Where the
location now is, the wind must blow from every point ,
of the compass within five minutes, to enable a sailing
vessel 'to effect an entrance and then get up the river.
It is to be feared the Government ere throwing away
their money. Unless they should seeproper to htutnge
the location, the 'citizenit will torn' in and make on en
trance at their own expense, and at the point, which
they, with reason, prefer.
The river presents a stirring scene of business and
commerce. It is crowded with vessels of various
kinds—steamboats, as fine as any in the world
schooners—bi g s—propellers; some under way—some
refitting—others at the wharves taking in freight. As
you approach the rivet and observe the numerous
spare an] musts of the shipping towering above the
wilderness, it nould require no stretch of imagination
to suppose you were at some thriving sea port on the
Atlantic coast. In fifty years from this time the com
merce of the Lakes will exceed that of the Mediter
ranean. May you and I live to see that day—not for
the sake of living that long—but for the sake of the
proud reflections we may then draw from the vastly
increased resources, population, and territory of the

THE DEIIoCRATIC AssEMELY TICEET.—" e
itors zf the Age and American, have shook hands
and united their efforts to destroy the Democrutic
ticket. They harmonize gloriously—their views are
identical—one day the Age cilia to its aid the Amer
ican—the next the assertions of the American are
backed by reference to the ratements of the Age.—
All right—they are both champions of the whig puny.
To all this we do not object, but we complain of the
mode of attack to which they resort. Gen Moorhead,
is made the burthen of their song. They both freely
adttilt that Messrs. Black, Donnelly, Cooper and
Miller are the warm friends of the Rail Road—all
very respectable men, but Gen. Moorehead was a
Delegate in the Convention that placed them in nom.
ination, Gen. bioorbead, it is true, was a Delegate,
and more, we learn faithfully obeyed the instructions
given him by the people of his Ward—he voted
throngkowl for Rail Road men, and Rail Road men
only. If there was a single man upon the ticket
doubtful upon the question of the Rail Road, it
would then be a very different matter; this, however,
is not the case; the editors of the Age and American
have Dot presumed to hint such a charge against the
Democratic candidates.
It is very different with the Whig ticket. Two of
the legislative candidates, are not fully trusted; in fact
their private interests are in opposition to the Rad
Road. One of them, Mr Brackenridge, it is well
known, cannot serve us efficiently at Hu risburgh—he
is at "dagger's points" with the President of the Bal
timore and Ohio Rail Road Company; that officer,
after what has passed between them, cannot have
correspondence or intercourse with him. You could
not select a man in the Union more heartily and cordi
ally despised by the democratic party than Mr Brack
enridge; his base ingratitude to Gen. Jackson, and
his abuse of that good man, has excited feelings of
hostility to him„, which would render him, an far as
- the majority is concerned, worse than nobody at liar
riaba ter.

THE MAN WHO LOST 111 S PANTS.
The following is a passage from the laughable
tale of •.Desptration," one of the rich articles which
tore embraced in the "Literaryretnaicts of Willis Gay
lord Clark." It is only necessary to premise that the
writer is a Philadelphia student who, after a stolen
fortnight among the gaities df Washington city. finds
himself (through the remissness of a chum) at Balti
more on his way home, without a penny in his pocket.
He stops at a fashionable hotel, nevertheless, where
after tarrying a day or two, he finally at the heel of a
great dinner. °lnnis solus in his private apartment,
flanked with abundant Champaigne and Burgundy, re

servant, he says!
"Ask the landlord to step up to my room and bring
his bill."
Ile clattered down stairs giggling, and shortly after
his master appeared. He entered with a generous
smile, that made me hope for the best the houso afford
ed, and that just then was credited.
"How much do I owe you?" said T.
He handed me the bill, with all the grace of polite
expectancy.
"Let me see—seventeen dollars. How reasonable!

The landlord turned all colors.
"Where do you live, any how 1"
"In Washington----, I should have said in Phil

His eyes flashed with angry disappointment.
"I see how it is, Mister; my opinion it that you are

You begin with Washington, and then drop in for Phil

"But 1 can't."
"Then I'll take your clothes; if I don't blow me
tight."
"Scoundrel !" said I, rising bolt upright, "do it if
you dare, and leave the rest to me!"
There was no more words. He rose deliberately,
seized my hat and only inexprossibles, and walked
down stairs.
Physicians say that Doty* excitements can exist at
the same time in one system. External circumstances
drove away, almost immediately, the confusion of my
brain.

THERE IS A GOD.
There is a God—who dare deny,
The power of Him that formed the sky!
And made the earth and seas;
Whose power sustain creation vast,
Whose voice is heard in every blast,
And in each gentle breeze.
There is a God—look up around
On ocean, sky, and solid ground,
See him in every star!
He made the world that round us shine,
And formed them by his power divine;
And called them from afar.
The caverns deep and mountains high.
That shoot their summits to the sky.
Come forth at his command!
And all the wonders of the deep,
Awake from their choatic sleep,
Through his Almighty head.
Then who shall say. there is no God.
No power that wields a chastening rod,
And bids the sun arise!
A God whose thunders shake the world,
Whose fiery bolts in wrath are hurled!
Whose lightnings rend the skies.

Under this heading the Long Island Star publishes
an interesting tale, f or the extended details of which
we cannot find room, but must content ourselves with
giving the leading facts in a condensed form, for the
benefit of our readers.
A young grocer of good character and correct habits
commenced business in a good and improved neighbor- I
hood. His stock was small, as were his means, and
stock of customers still smaller. His sales hardly met
his ettpenses and he was evidently going 'down hill,' I
and anold grocer on the opposite corner predicted that
he would soon be at the bottom.
That the young grocer had reason to regret this o
pinion of the old grocer will appear. The latter had
adaughter who had won the heart of the former. He
offered himself to her and and was rejected. it was
done however with the assurance that he was the man
of her choice, hut she acted in accordance to her
father's commands.
Assured of the affections of the woman of his choice,
he set himself about removing the only obstacle in the
way of their union—the father's objection to his pecu
niary prospects:
A year had elapsed and 10, what a change! The
young grocer was now going uphill with the power of
a steam locr,rnotive, customers flocked to his store
from all quarters, and even many had left the old es
tablished stand on the opposite corner, for the young
favorite. There was a mystery about it which puzzled
the old grocer sorely, but which he could not unveil•
He at last became ncarly sick with losses and aggra
vations, and vain attempts todiscover the secret of his
neighbor's success.
At this junction, Angelica—for that was the daugh

accidental interview between the parties. After the
