ADDRESS TO THE Publ &c.
The propositions Of the Missouri Emigrant
Association" are made TO the industrious and
snterprIzing---none others are desired and none
but such will be knowingly received. The de-
sign Is to interest all and benefit en- ch, and no
plan can be presented which unies more pros
pect of success and benefit, with less chance of
loss, than the one proposed. II Is bas: d. as ell
successful movements must be, UpOh the enter
prize, industry and prudential character Of those
who join IN tue undertaking. Each man must
be the architect of his own fortune, laborng for
himself and Teaping the rewards of his own
industry. There 10 no community OF interest
afterthe division ofthe lots takes place; theres
handling of the funds " profits by select few,
or others specially appointed after that time, but
each man will pursue his own interests and his
own happiness, as his best judR-'at shah die
The benefits proposed to the emigrant are 20
be found in the rapidly increased value of The
property purchased aud the improved comforts
Of life by the nstant combination of SO many
families upoA ore advantageous point Of lOca liz ~.
The value OF Town lots increase IN direct pro-
portion t. the advantages OF the loc1t1n and
the number, industry and prudence of the inhab-
tant+. lot IN any village Of forty or fifty
families will cost from $50 10 500. and ia a CITY
/ $500 to s., 900, and here Is proposed to create
city at on ce of one thousand families, whore 6ve
large lots and four acre out lot may be obtained
/ for one hundred dollars The increase Of value
| must be rapid and by proper care and manage
ment will lay the foundation Tor future indePen
dence aud il may be- wea lth to each individual.
| The adjoining lands will be IN the possession of
! the company who expect a. once TO erect saw
mills, Flouring Mills and other machinery for
| manufacturing purposes all conducive 70 the en-
/ plOyment and interests of the industrious Eml'
grant.
| The proposed lots will be owned in severalty;
each one will be m Ister of his own time his ow n
labor, and his own mt Tests,rsO that there can
be no collision between the original prOprietors
and the respective owners of the lots. Each one
Is left TO rise az he may be industrious and pru-
dent or TO fall should he be idle and impi Ovident
/ Thus If you Join the Association" you are
promised nothing, unless YOU Join as a citizen TO
find a new home and a bstter field for your in
dustrY in the opening and fertile WEST. II
you remain behind you must stay IN an obscure
village with property al low price add thea not
WORTH buWnR, or Il you go into town OF one
thousand families you must expect at once q
pay from $500 10 $1,000 for small lots when you
can obtain FIVE lots and the out lot by dSSOciating
90 create city az once
| Cities the size Of which Il Is proposed 70 com
nence at once, have been from fifty 10 one hun,
bred years ne growth. Here al a moment, you
have the schoo, houses, the market house, you
own church lots the mill the factory and all thu
advantages and Conveniences Of the old settled
and loRg civilized portions Of the country
