In respect to the growth of western trade and
commerce, extract few sentences from very
valuable address before the Historical Society of
Ohio, by William d. Gallagher, esq, 1850:
"a few facts will exhibit as we'll a volume the
, wonderful growth of western trade and
merce. Previous to the year $500, some eight or
ten keelboatc Of twenty or twenty-five tons each,
performed all the carrying trade between Cincin-
natl and Pittsburg. In 1902 the first Government
vessel appeared Lake Erie. In Isl the first
steamboat (the Orleans) was launched at Pitts
burg. In 1926 the waters of Michigan were first
ploughcd by the keel of steamboat, pleasure
trip to Green Bay being planned and executed in
the summer of this year. In 1892 eteamooat
fret appeared at Chicago. At the present time
the entire number of steamboats, running on the
Mississippi and Ohio, and their tributaries, Is
more probably OVER than under six hundred; the
aggregate tonnage of which ia not short of one
hundred and forty thousand-a larger number OF
steamboats, than England can claim, and greater
stean commercial marine than that employed by
Great Britain and her dependencies.
And now, fellow citizens, having stated TO you
this iufabe proof of the growth and prosperity of
the nation, ask you, and would ask every man,
whether the Government which has been over us
,,as proved itself an afliction n curse tn the
country or any part of it? Ye men of the South,
of all the original southern States, what cay you to

rJNHE inventors and proprietors after long time
l. spent in pcrfecting and simplifying their in
veution, and having now received United States
Letters Patent on the same, are prepared to offer
for sale the exclusive Right of Territory for States,
Counties, and Cities; Machines, with the right to
use. This is entirely original invention, no.
thing at all similar having ever before been offered
to the public; the right OF the invention is therefore
uncontested. Our Machine, by the Use of two nee
dles, supplied with thread from spools, forms
near stitch which will not open or ravel-in fact,
fast stitch. II is adapted to the sewing on all kinds
of fabrics, also on leather In straight, circular,
or other seams. 1t is capable of being worked at
great speed, and requires but lithe power By
means of the feed carriage, which is compact and
convenient, the stitch may be regulated to any
length. The needle strikes perpendicularly upon
the table of the Machine and affords opportuni-
ty for sewing far In from the edg of the cloth as
may be desired. The Machine is worked by trea-
die hand or power is easily regulated, and, being
compact and simple in construction, is not liable
to get out of order. We confident that our
