remarks which struck him most iorcibly.' The IDEAS
are timely and excellent, and ought TO have a wide
circulation.
Gov. Wright began by saying he had just returned
from Yankee land which he had visited for the first
Time 10 his life. He had attended several New
England Cattle Shows and Fairs-especally in
Vermont. He was struck everywhere with the APP
pearance OF comfort and independence that on all
sides met his eye, The hum of business was heard
in all directions He never saw so industrious a
people. Everybody seemed 10 have something to
do, and to be at work. This would make poor land
rich. The farms so good, but the farmers
were better than in The West. Owing to their econ.
omy and industrious habits, he verify believed the
tanners Of New England lived better, ENJOYING more
OF the comforts and Injuries Of life, than the same
class OF peopein any other part of the Union. tie
had searched for the of this prosperity and
had ound rs as he believed, in the 0rder and system
OF the people. There is more OF this in the East,
than IN the West. The hap hazard, heller SHELTER
policy is not prevalent. The labors OF individuals
and Of bodies Of workmen and of whole commune
ties are sysemzed and divided off, and this system
is carefully carried out. This nsufes success. In
the West, every man fights on his own hook, and
he lives more by fighting and brandishing his arms,
than by steady work. G. ldleness and want Of sys.
tenn on the richest soils are oeed poverty and
vice; whereas industrious and frugal habits aie the
sure road to competency and wealth.

There was vast responsibility resting upon the
West. In 80 years, TWO thirds Of the millions thar

country that is to rule The world. How important

lie hoped, however, that the education to which the
west might devote-itselfS would be sensible and
practical one. Let the children be taught from their
