GREAT CHANGES.-Twenty-e eight years ago, says the
Ohio State Journal, Gen. VIM. II. Harrison, now a
Senator in Congress from Ohio, presented his creden-
tias to the House of Representatives as delegate

has taken place under his eye. The Territory which
he then represented is cut up into the states of
Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, and the Territory of Mi
chigan-and leaving tract of country to the North
west sufficient to form several more States At that
time this district contained about $4,000 inhabitants.
The population at present is 1000, 600; and is
represented IN Congress by IS Representatives Sen
aors, and one Delegate As evidence of rapid, and
indeed uneXamped advance in wealth, resources and
enterprise, we need only mention the fact that Ca
nal from the shores of Lake Erie, the State of
Ohio to the river of that name has been commenced
by the state on its own strength is far advan-
