the cause of emigration to this section Of our
common country.
If nothing more can be done. let, at any rate.
socities, be formed, whose object shall be to
furnish gratuitously, or at small cost, sound
advice and correct information in regard to The
west, and the best mode of proceeding thither.
That a woful degree of Ignorance upon these
points, still exists at the east, every paper re.
ceiyed from there affords US the most mortify.
ing evidence. A New York paper Of the 93d
Aug. says, ssOne hundred and thirty steerage
passengers sailed hence for Liverpool in III,
packet ship Oxford, which cleared few days
since, and hundreds more are preparing to fol.
low. Strange, that paupers should be able to
defray the expense of passage and provisions
for homeward voyage"
Is it probable, would ask, that these per.
sons ever heard of Wisconsin! The same ex.
pense it required to carry them back, would
certainly have been sufficient to have brought
them here. A Pennsylvania paper Of the 10th
Aug. in speaking of Wisconsin, calls it "a
beautiful territory in the north western part Of
the United States, which some persons think
is ON the other side Of no,chere." And eventhe
witty and intelligent Prentice Of the Louisville
Journal, in notice lately Of Mineral Point,
says it is surrounded with bears and wolves

been produced by the perseverance, skill, and

'sAlluding to the apprehensions entertained
