The SPIRIT Of EMIsaATIoN will probably
be greater combined emigration from the East to
the far West next spring. than has ever taken place
during any one season, In the growth of our country
Companies are forming in nearly all the States, IN
tending 80 soon as the frosts Of winter have depart
ed, to start, bag and baggage, with arms, cattle,
horses, and proper outfit, and boldly and hopefully
take up their line of march for the floweI-decked
fields, fertile valleys, and noble hills and heavenly
climate OF Oregon and California. Particularly to
the latter country, there will be combined emgra-
ton
Almost every day we hear OF new companies being
formed for that purpose, and hundreds, we believe
thousands Of pent-up citizens who are tired Of the
monotonous life Of the city, would be ready to shout
der their knapsacks and rifles at the first tap Of the
drum, and in one combined phalanx, march to Ca
lifornia's sunny cline. True, the journey is yet
tiresome one. -Four months travel across a sandy
desert, wrapped in blanket, sleeping in tent, and
being drenched with ram all night SO that it is al
most impossible to prevent being floated of-all
these not attractions TO those who have been &C
customed to the comforts and Injuries Of city life
But what are these hardshps to the adventurous
American emigrantl What barriers have ever
stopped him in his onward march From the time
when the Mayhower landed her passengers on the
ice-bound, snow-clad shore Of Plymouth, the pre-
sent, what has not the American emgrant dared
and done 7 He has hewn his way through dense TO-
rests fearless of the bowling beasts that threatened
to make him their prey. He has crossed noun
tains, forded lakes, marshes, and rivers-faced
storms, fought his way through tribes of mer-
CHESS savages; and guided by the rays Of the sun,
a. he sunk to his western home, has ceased not his
wearsome march till he has planted his foot in the
soil Of thefar Western forest-struck his axe into
the huge peoplers Of that forest, and hewed for
himself and those he loved log hut, where they
could live in all the comfort of the family relation
And these forests have fallen by the powerful stroke
Of the emigrant's axe The gentle zephyr OF a sum-
mer evening, now bends gracefully the golden grain
on the same ground where, but few years since,
the hurricane howled through the branches Of the
tall oaks. paradise has bloomed where only
wildness and uncultvation were before.
The spirit of emigration has done all this. And
this is the true conquest What is to stop it It re-
coRnizes geographic ines but must diverge to all
points, till The whole unbounded continent il

the rstborn in the long line Of brothers and sisters
which shall yet acknowledge America as their mo.
