The rapid march of the West is without
precedy Mt, at least in modern history. Viii |
lagos, towns and cities are starting up, as
with the power of enchantment. Delight
ful farms are taking the places of praliies
and forests, while Civilization with all hel
attending ministers, continues TO crowd the
red lords of the forest back into still more
distant and remote regions. A little longer,
and the poor Indians will have disappeared
from the face Of the earth,-- conquered,
ruined, and forgotten race. The hum OF
cities rises up, where in by gone years the
smoke of the rude wigwam was alone per-
ceptibe, and millions Of human beings will
give life and animation TO the rich valley of
the Mississippi, and the shores of the
Lakes. We cannot, however, better illus
trate the truisms and prophecies, than by
adverting to the growth Of single city,
In 1891, Chicago, Illinois, was a rude ham
let, in the west, with inhabitants scarcely
sufficient to entitle it to the appellation of a
village. Only seven years have elapsed,
and look at her now. She has population
| of 6000 souls. and her commerce amounts
to from 80 to 100000 tons per annum.-
! Nay, from June Z TO November 9th of last
year, no less than 1877 steamboats, arrived
at her wharves, in addition 10 24l other
vessels. She now publishes daily paper,
which teens with all the evidences of trade
and prosperity, while the population increas-
es with TIE lapse of every "a hours. So
much for the origin and progress of "Ci-
ty in the West" of these United States.--
We are yet only in our infancy as a nation
aud the close of the 18th century, will fine
US with population of-but the imagina
ton Of the reader must fill ont the picture.
