The Northwest.

II has occurred to US this very Instant what sec
ton of the country is meant by the Northwest! We
have lit is Minnesota. We Infer it from many
condolences. Ii might AT time have heen Ohio,
but that is now somewhere down east. 1t mi hi at
one time have been Illinois. but that is stuck in a
slough, and there are no such things in the high !at
tudes. II it vas ever Wisconsin, il is not that now,
fos Wisconsin, is State and is called BY ITS name.
There is vast and important count y somewhere,
called the Northwest, and il is real country, f,r
Lewis and Clark went there, and did the
disciple Of ST. Anthony, aai did Lcws Cass, who
went up there once, especially - The Eastern
papers ARE now having great deal to 81, about that
country, as Of vast importance in extent, in the
grandeur Of is lakes and rivers, in the fertility Of
It's SOIL ia the opucnoe Of its minerals, in the charms
OF IFS scenery, It's fascinating landscapes and the
hcalhiluess Of It's climate. Chicago, in these times
is ;alain, mach ab1at the trade Of the Northwest.
We hear from various quarters that vast number Of
reoric v mex; spring, crate there, for they don'i
fancy the West. Minnesota is the Northwest, and
no county can be Northwestern, till YOU get to Penn
bina, whose Northwest is an illimtabhc extent o!
an,.s and lakes ,owai d behring's Straits, and Asia
which IS Northeast. z. f. ID.
