Prospects ofMe West.-At no period
since the memorable days of 49," has
business Of every description exhibited a
more animating prospect than at prese Mt
Notwithstanding the prediction that busi-
ness would flag, trade be depressed, and
real estate lessen in value, provided we
failed OF obtaining national bank, the
prosperity Of tho west, was never more ap-
parent than now. The wealth which our
farmers are now acquiring is no, Of fc-
ticions character-wheat, the staple COM
modify Of the country, is now flowing into
the market towns Of the west, and the
amount of cash which is daily disLurscdto
wheat growers, will have sensible influ-
ence In relieving the pecuniary wants Of
the country. A constant succession Of
wagons loaded with wheat are arriving of
this place, and the cheerful countcnances
OF multitudes Of farmers, who visit US from
the country, indicate that their pockets
have recently been replenished, with cash
Nor is Southport alone the scene of great
activity in trade: other towns on the lake
shore exhibit much life and animation in
the wheat trade.
It's surprising 10 us that, any eastern
farmer, who is posscsse of a small estate
in land, and who is obliged to toll hard,
from year 10 year, to gain a subsistence
for his family, should hesitate for a single
moment TO emigratc to the west The su-
perior Inducements which Wisconsin holds
out TO eastern farmers of small capital, are
most forcibly illustrated in the present
price Of produce here in connexion with
the price Of lands. A few hundred dollars
will purchase good farm in Wisconsin,
while in the State of New York or in New
England, it requires some thousands OF
dollars. The superior productiveness OF
Wisconsin over New York and New Eng
land cannot be questioned The expense
incurred in fitting the soil, and raising the
crop is also less in Wisconsin. Therefore
estimating the capital rcquired,o purchase
farm, and the amount Of labor, required
10 produce the crop, it is safe 20 conclude
that wheat can be raised in Wisconsin for
a price about one half less, than at the
east. The price Of wheat per bushel now
IN this Territory in the towns on the lake
Shore is over three fourths the price paid
| per bushel in the State of New York
The difference in favor of Wisconsin is
therefore apparent, nor can any eastern
farmer who calculates his business on the
score of profit, hesitate to choose between
east and west

WAsHINGToN, WEDNESDAY,, Aug. %.
Clouds and darkness gather around the
Wing party. Every thing that was feared
is likely to be realized. The scene beheld
in the House, 10 day, was painful. The
fierce denunciation gainst the Pres
ident. not only in debate bat in private,
have no precedent. The Wings seem bent
on their own destruction, as party. OF
course, their dcnuncialions of Mr.. TYLER
have no effect 10 conciliate him; on the
contary, he is irritatcd, badgered and wor-
ried, every day, till he has lost all patti
cnce. 1t is now believed that he WILL veto
the new bill. Mr.. Potts declared that he
would DO so, in his speech to-day, and
menaccd him with severe punishment for
the offence. What he purposes TO offer to
Congress as the punishment of Mr.. Tyler
is TO invite him to resign, and, if he will
not do that, then, he says, Gin his handbIl
published 10 day. "God help US, for we
can't help ourselves"
All this is from mere personal piquc.
The Wing party and the repose of the
country are TO be sacrificed to The miser-
able caprice of a few disappointed and
malicious individuals.

The Disputed Territory.-The Bangor
Wing copies an article from the Wood
stock IN. b. Telegraph, from which we
learn that great excitement prevails in the
neighborhood Of the Boundary Line, in
consequence Of the proceedings Of the Am
erican party of exploration. The Tclc-
graph says:
" We have been informed that they are
running a new line Eas, Of the old bound
airy, cutting down and leaving a space Of
from forty TO eighty feet wide, and marked
the United States Boundary Line. The
angie formed by this new direction of the
line is said TO be so great that several ex-
tensive cfearings belonging to our farmers
in the back settlements have been taken in
and included as American property. We
have heard ofseveral farms losing from so
to 100 acres, and one in particular, we had
been informed, had been entirely included
in the sta tc OF Maine, and an idea held out
that those persons must become American
subjects, which has caused an unusual de-
gree Of exciteme Mt.

resolved itselfinto a committee ofthe whole
and took up the Bank Bill reported some
weeks ago by the currency committee. Mr.
Sargent proposed some amendments which
arc substantially as follows. The capital
Of the proposed bank is 10 be twenty one
millions, with power to extend it to thirty
five. This bill provides for agencies only
and not for offices Of discount and deposit.
The corpration is not to discount but 10 be
permitted to buy and sell foreign bills Of

unless education is made TO keep pace Win
our progress in other matters, our pros
Porty cannot be permanent There are
many who suppose that in new countries
like this, comfortable dwellings and the
! common conveniences of life should firsl
be secured and that schools and acade-
mics may in due time follow after. This
is mistaken notion, and utterly repug-
nant to the spirit Of our institutions. Our
New England ancestors erected THEN
school houses simultaneously with their
dwelling houses. And would we secure
the best interests of our town and establish
It's future character, no time should be lost
in making the subject Of education para
mount TO every other.
The wants of this village and the sur
rounding country, require the establish
ment of Il permanent academical school in
this place. Unless some institution of this
character is soon located at this place we
shall lose much Of the vantage grouad
which we now possess, and other villages,
possessed Of more literary enterprise, will
take the lead. And unless our young men
and women, can en- JOY the privileges Of an
institution Of learning here, they will go
elsewhere to accomplish an education.
The time has arrived when u proper num-
Der of academies or high schools, can be
maintained in the Territory, and there is
probably no point which presents stronger
claims for the establishment of an acade-
my than Southport. There is at present,
but one Incorporated academy in the cas-
tern portion Of the Territory, which is at
Prairicville, a distance Of moro than
forty miles from this place. This institu-
ton is yet in its infancy, but its. future
prospects we are informed are fatterng.
There arc no other schools in this part Of
the Territory, save those Of a temporary
character, which are designed for the high
or ban hes Of study.
The commanding position of Southport,
and the business relation which it suslains
to large extent Of territory, renders it
most desirable location for a literary in
stlruton, where parents may send their
children to be educated. Our best interests
as village and community, are init
mately connected viii the diffusion Of sci
cnce; and that citizen who is the most ac-
lively engaged in promoting the cause of
education, is entitled TO the greatest graft
tude Of his country.

~ and belonging TO the treasury; and the of
TINS nieaphorlcal sense is this, that anccntly, gov

several men to carry it, This bio basket received the

Treasury took the name of big basket. Thus we
trace the word fiscal in this bill, To the latin iscus and
fscalis and that to its Greek root phaskos and phas
kalos; and all comes to the same thing, that is TO
say belonging to the Treasury"
This is an unanswerablc argument against
