Amongst the various great objects in the
world for contemplation, The Mississippi and
lis trlbutations eau scarcely be said to have

sands that live upon its brink, and float upon
lis bosom, to the vast ana sublime concep,ions,
the pleasing and sound deductions, and the il,

II IS right amongst Us, and consequently too
common TO be cared for or thought Of But
when we take into consideration lis extent md

runs, we are lost in wonder and admiration
II we compare i with the Amazon of South
America, we find it surprising that river in
The number Gifts .faat tributaries, by one hun

~ runs, By amllion Of square miles; and Gil
we reckon the Missouri to the GulG) by seven
hundred miles in length. The waters Of The
Mississippi are spread from the first to The
thiriy-fourh degree OF Longitude, West o
Washington. It's most Northern water Is III,

two hundred and sixty different streams, no
including those Of a smaller class, than the "a
nous Thames Of the East; and from that il
four thousand miles in length; averaging one
hundred and ninety one, aud total length Of
fifty thousand miles, equal TO twice the cir
circumference ofihc Globe.
Dc Soto, Spanish Officer, agreeable to The
history Of the early discoveries in the New
Continent, was thefirst European witness L
the existence Of this great River. Soon after
the discovery Of America, he travelled on an
exploring expedition along the Gulf country to
the Mississippi and crossed ii. But nothing
more was known respecting this great channe
OF the West, mil 1878, when a few persons
under the French Government ofCanada, were
sent to ascertain the correctness Of an account
Of IT, given by the Indians, and who came 10 il
somewhere in that Territory, now known as
The Huron District, and descended it to the Mis-
souri,; which was all Of importance that was
known until 1889; when La Sale followed its

bulary, the Missouri, until the Administration
Of Mr.. Jefferson, who sent two Officers ofthe
Army, Lewis and Clark, wilha company of
Ithrty-fve men, 10 explore this River aud the
surrounding country. They left st. Louis in
May, 1904; and alter journey of seven thou
sand and five hundred miles, Of hardship, ia
igue and danger, returned TO the same place,
lin September, 1906; having been gone twenty
seven months. Whey assembled the Missouri
three thousand miles 10 the Great Falls, then
crossed the Rocky Mountains, and traced the
Oregon TO the Pacific.
What change this River has experienced.
and is yet destined to experience. Let US look
10 the past. We see i, the Red Mans home
Two centuries ago, the birchen canoe rppled
its waters from the Allegheny 10 the Rocky
Mountains, and from the Northern Lakes and
British America, 10 The Gulf Of Mexico. The
war song was heard in the Mountains ard the
Valleys, and the council fires aud the wgwams
rose on every bank The mothers taught
their Young the stories of the past, and the
.'Garriors walked forth in their glory" But
now how altered! Like mist before the rays

white man is now upon its every Eastern
tributary like universal presence; and the
tide of emigration has found its way into the
great wilds Of the West. Populous and -four
ishng cities are situated upon its banks,
miles from the Gulf, where the arts
find home, and science friend-Rolling on
the busy wheels ofcommerce graceful in the
refnements of modern Europe, and profound
in the lore Of ancient Greece and Rome. Lii
eral arks, by native invention, are impeled two
thousand miles uponits bosom, with the power
and velocity ofthe elements-W Whatever might
have been the expectations ofDe Soto and La
Sale, when they first beheld this River are
now more than verified The most sanguine
and speculative imagination, in its loltiest
fights, could never have dreamed Of the splen-
did cities and thousands Of active villages that
rise, al this early day, upon its waters; orihe
millions Of wealth ando human souls that float
upon lis BOSOM Bot when another century
shall have gone over, and its every stream
Shall listen TO the din Of busy populance, it
will hold within its own embrace, population
as transcendent and UNCOMFORTABLE as its own
mighty waters. /.

JUDGE f. SMITH.

! 1t appears that this gentleman has determined t.
leave us, and move to Jackson. 1t is natural to par
with old friends with regret, but had rather learr
that our friends were gone to Jackson, than c. T. Il
The Judges object in this step is, to engage in bust
ness which he thinks promises better prospect of re
pairing some former losses, and making provision for
large family than the state of things here seems to of
ter. 1t must be owned that the times are wretchcdly
out of Joint with US here-but this is not TO our pres
lent purpose. Our object is, to say that number o
Judge smith friends have thought that the circum
stances mentloned and other considerations points
him out very proper person to be run for the office
LOT state Treasurer, which has be filed at the next
November election.
Judge Smith has been paying Taxes for himself, as
well as imposing Taxes US, for the last twenty years
and must have acquired large Stock of information
ndspenSably necessary to the incumbent of that Office
ana which no young man, or newcomer, can be sup
posed to have attained In the various honorable sta
tons IN which the people OF this County have placed
blm and IN all the relations of private life, tn
few enemies which he may have, cannot deny hin
unbemished integrity, and honesty of purpose Be
sides, we think the duty of preserving, untarnshed tn
fame OF large and respectable connection, and rsn
family, together with integrity which has with
stood the vcissudes of the last twenty years. offer
safer guaranty for the faithful discharge of the impor
tan duties of the Office of Treasurer of the State thai
bonds and securities afford.
We do not wish TO be influenced by party consider
atoms in this matter, nor have any other objection
ito the persons who said to be candidates for TIN
Office, than we have against other young men On
Objection is TO the policy of conferng stations of sucl
thigh trust on men who but little identified will
us in interest and who have not had time to estab
lISh such character as we require as u foundation
for our confidence
