OF LA SALE,

rs PROPOSED TO be held upon the ground, on
Il FRIDAY, the 22d day of November next
La Sale, which will henceforward be the port of
entry for the largest trade the gulf is situate
upon the mainland exactly at the north western
angle of the Gulf of Mexico at the terminus of the
present line OF mail steamers from New Orleans
to that coast, and embraces the only ground upon
the western margin Of the bay of Mata gorda where
vessels drawing more than six feet of water can
come TO anchor and discharge cargo at wharf
without Tightening.
The proprietor of this site after a residence of
twelve years at Galveston, the last six Of which
have been principally devoted by him TO hydro
graphical and typographical examinations Of the
Gull OF Mexico, (and moro especially of the entire
coast OF Texas,) has selected La Sale in perfect
confidence that II Possesses, more than any other
place, from the mouth of the Mississippi TO Yucca
tan, decidedly superior advantages for concentrs-
ton Of the principal trade of the Gulf
IL IL not deemed necessary 10 speak at large of
the peculiar conveniences and advantages OF the
position Of La Sale. slight glance at the map
(taken in connenion with the fact that IL presents
the best entrance and anchorage 90 be found for
many hundred miles on that part of the Culf) will
show conclusively 10 intelligent men that il must

San Antonio, G Guadalupe, La Baccs, Nsvidsd, Col
orado Caney, and Bernard rivers in Texas as we'll
the trade of all northern Mexico west of Loredo
or Eagle Pass, embracing FL Paso del Norte Chi

which for quarter of a century past has gone 10
these regions by way OF Santa Fe, IL taking the
route by way of the bay of Matagorda. From this
bay TO the city of chihuahua, the distance ia less
than from Santa 70. No question is therefore en-
tertaned that nine tcnths Of what has been hereto
fore called the Santa Fe trade WILL after the pres
ent year, take it's course by La Sale from all the
eastern al not also the westerly cities Of the Union
II may also be looked upon as an adiudicatcd fact
by the common sense Of the world, that the over
land line Of trade and travel between the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans, whenever il may be resolved
on as national work, must have it's beat eastern
terminus practically at La Sale, wherever IL may
suit politicians men sectonally interested (os-
tensiby) 70 fix IL. II will certainly be the point of
embarcstion for the principal emigration from Fu-
rope TO the State Of Texas.
