The WEsT. One Of the surest evil

portion Of our country-of the rapid

forts of those who leave the olderstates,
in search of their fortunes, in It's will

now and then, Of some new paper, that
has been established in some of. the
towns that are daily springing upinthat
country. Three or four years ago, the
town Of Du Buque, in Wisconsin Ter
rity, was unknown to the inhabitants
east of the Allcghaniesnow it is a
smart little town-with its weekly pa

which lies on our table, its merchants,
lawyers physicians, mechanics, and
tradesmen Of almost every description,
all, apparently, as well established as
those oalike pursuits in the long settled
villages of older parts Of the Union.

roamed unmolested through its inter-
minable forests in search Of his game
or upon the trail Of his enemy. But
how is it now? The forests have dis
appeared beneath the axe Of the white
man, and the Indian, unable to live in
the neighborhood Of the pale face, has
h;ca him further towards the setting
sun: Cities and towns have sprung up
where the forest once covered the face
of the land, and the hum Of the manu-
factory has superseded the yell Of the
wild beast and the savage. The Ca
noe thatglided silently down the streams
has given way to the noisy steam boat
that ploughs its rivers, or the splendid
packet that glides along the lines Of ca
nal that intersect all parts Of the state,
whilst the long and tedious journey
that once consumed many days Of wea-
ry travel, is now performed with the
speed Of wind along road Of iron.
Such is Ohio-Such is our whole coun-
try-and such in few years will be
Wisconsin, and the whole west. The
tide Of population will continue to roll
on, and on--ssthc west" will continue
to recede, till those who shall go to in
habit its fertile lands will find them
selves standing upon the wave-washed
shores Of the Pacific.
