head, we respectfully suggest that tie citizens
owe il to. themselves TO encourage by their a..
tendance the excellent teachers who have
charge Of this institution. While the city il
increasing in business, wealth and population,
i, is an obipc, worthy of solicitude, tia, there
should grow up among us institutions, which
by facilities they afford for education, vii! cs-
tablish reputation obroad, attracting those who

1t is impossib,e TO fix any Limit to the cala-
city, for production, If Northern Missouri We
can have no adequate conception Of II. owing 10
the fact that when he who might think II set %
ting upon our lands, and becoming Producer,
looks around him for the prospect Of disrosing
of his products, lie bcholGs lao rnlrhtt; ~, what
is the same thing, lie finds no mcau, Of trans
portaion. Con.truc, this road, and the farmer
Of Shelby, and he of Linn, will have an ami le
market brought within one or $50 hours .ur-
ncy. This will direct emigration into !ho'c
counties for where the land i, rich and the
market good, there is always money 10 be made.
These lands will be sought; the increased de
manl, the competition omorg purchasers, will
raise their value II we suppose 20, 30, or loo
per cent. added by tho ,ilroal 10 the value Of
farm in Shelby lyina ambiguous 10 the border
line between that con and Marion, we must
also allow all equal ion to the worth Of .
farm adjoining, but or The other side Of tie
line il any dtera', it will he IN favor Of The
latter, because it is ,t..! nearer market; and
this effect, produced ly the Railroad will hc
Just the same, whether the farmer might choosr
to avail himself Of the Road, or, on account Of
proximity to market, transport his produce in
his own wagon.
We have said that the railroads would Lrng
in,o our State competitors for purchasing lands
who would elevate their worth far above what
il is at present. This ia true. The tendency
of trade, population and wealth, is already to the
Northwest. just now, We see much If these
passing ly US, and omptying themselves in'c
Iowa and Wisconsin -- attracted ihithcr by the
reputation for energy and enterprise which tho
peapla of those States have succeeded in cs;ab
fishing for themselves abroad. But our onward
march, cJHSlicEtUp cur want Of NiiVt" nv
vantrg'', and comparing i, with the usual pro.
eress Of states AM nations, furnishes no Just
ground of complaint. There is liz" foot o.
railroad, or an inch Of canal in the State AID
strange as the story may sound abroad ii il
nevertheless a melancholy fact, that Tie Grga
STATE Of Missouri, u, her ogo and with all be,
power and wealth, has reared not Gingl,
IN ,numon, Of her deposition 10 encourage cgri.
culture, or commerce, or any other branch 81
industry whotever Yet, within ten years the
population Of our State las doubted. Why
From no other cause under heaven, than the .,
yet comparatively undryeoped, hut cverywhcr,
apparent, resources, so abuudanty hrstowe,
upon ns by The hand o! nature, The decree o
our destiny is greatness, beyond and above all
our sister States Of the Wc,t: for ia fulhllm,ut
energy alone is required
We have stated nothing bu, Ec,s. Five will
ii. ihe prospect before us Is brilliaul. 1t be
hoeves Marion county 10 hasten, by all the
mean, at her command the great improvement
upon whci depends an Advance in her fortunes.
Marion county must subscribe, or the growing
credit of the company will be lowered in the
eyes Of Eastern capitalists.
