THE LAKE COUNTRIES.

If one were to search the Western papers for
facts showing the rapid growth and improvement
and vast production which the fertile shores of the
great interior Lakes have already reached it would
we are convinced, amaze the most intelligent and
best informed of our readers. One or two isolated
facts which have caught eye may convey an
idea Of the present business and future prospects of
the Lake countries.
The Buffalo Advertiser states that during the
last week in May there was sent from Buffalo via
the New York canal, sixtyone thousand and ninety
seven barrels of flour, and sixtyeight thousand six
hundred and fifly-six bushels of wheat. Allowing
each bushe of the latter to make fortyfive pounds
Of flour, and each barrel Of the former to contain
one hundred and ninety-six pounds, the total of
pounds was fifteen millions si1ty-four thousand fue
hundred and Muty-taoo! During the same period
there was sent from the city along with this
immense quantity of -four thirteen hundred and
torty-eigM thousand tUo hundred and thirteen
pounds of butter and lard. There was also sent
over two and quarter millions of pounds of pearl
ash and other ashes.
All this from the south shore Of Lake Erie alone
probably, and the vicinity of Buffalo, and all in one
week. What commerce will soon cover the bosom
of those great inland seas
Lin addition to the above, the same Buffalo paper
states that within the previous t,oenty-for hours
there had arrived in that port over 5000 barrels
Of flour, and $4,000 bushels of wheat, and other
articles in proportion.
The Detroit papers mention the opening Of
route from that place across the State to Chicago,
near the head of Lake Michigan, which consists in
part Of railroad, and that the receipt Of flour at
Detroit by this route is fifteen hundred barrels a
from the Lake Michigan country.

sideratons and enjoy it in common, as the heirs o

during his visit to Boston, accompanied by letter
from Wendell Phillips, chairman of the committee,

ring with the President upon the subject of the

quest; and, while publishing the memorial as part
of the history Of the times and to crafty those who
desire to see it in a Philadelphia paper, it may
not be amiss to say that, in our opinion, the move
ment was injudicious-unciv in short, under all
the circumstances Of the case. We never could
approve of this system Of badgering public men,

Of accomplishing the specified object, but to pro-
