resources, which only require developement, to
ensure their continued growth These means
Louisville possesses; there resources are here
and both can be used SO ss to make il among the
greatest cities of the West
Look at its location

Ohio, and so situated As to command much OF
the trade that floats on the river which fows by

richest countries that We know Of mex

amount Of production. Across the river, We
have, in Indiana, thriving region, one that is
filling up rapidly, aud must seek here marke,
for its produce. Put the map before you, ana
contrast the natural advantages Of amy city
with those We ENJOY, in this respect, and the
reader Will find, that none in the mid west have
greater; few as great. We have all that we
could ask-fertile country, healihful climate
and fine navigable streams.
Observe its manufacturing faculties.
There is no end to these. The Falls max,

manufacturing purposes can be commanded
without stint. Living is cheap. The raw ma

points upon, or near the river. And theVf n'
portion III the year, unless ice blocks the river
when, whatever is made or manufactured, can
not be shipped East or West, North or South
We know OF no city where the manufacture
would find more r.munersting prices for his la
Dor.

Religious opportunities
