Emigration westward and southwark has hi
thcrtO proceeded without a plan but the at
tempt to introduce slavery into the territory
west of Missouri has aroused the North to every
possible means of resistance; and the happy
thought of encouraging emigration by the form
alton Of companies with large capitals TO aid
and protect the emigrants, has been proposed
and adopted. The result we cannot doubt
will be entirely successful, as regards that ter
ritory and not fer that end only, but there is
now every probability that the same Organiza-
ton will be adopted for the settlement of the
waste lands of the Northern slave States.
Large districts OF country may he purchased
at low price, and. by settling free popula-
ton on them. the value of land will bedoubled
and trebled in short space of time. On this
plan, the great objection which Northern men
have to settling in the Southern States may be
obviated. That objection is the deprivation of
social privicges-such as the church. the
school. and freedom of speech. BY settling in
large bodies, all those blessings of a free State
may be enjoyed. aad, in u little time. slavery
itself will give way before the increasing pres
sure OF free opinions.
The European emigration to the United
States is now, and has been for some years past
400, 900 per annum and the Northern popula-
ton, which is constantly on the increase, throws
off an ever-incrcasing surplus From these two
sources the supply of settlers for the new Ter
ritories and States cannot be less than eight
hundred thousand--perhaps a mllion--per
annum. Is it not evident that, at this rate, all
the good lands west of the Mississippi and east
of the Rocky Mountains must in "a few years he

MINERAL DISCOVERIES IN CANADA.-Thcrc has
been much exploring done this season on the
north shore of Lake Superior and Lake Huron.
and we understand that many valuable tliscov-

been made. Heretofore explorers lave confn-
cd themselves mostly to the shores Of The lakes
bat this year they have venturcd further into
the interior of the mineral regions and have
been we'll repaid for their trouble.
Several very large and promising veins have
been discovered in the region north of the
Bruce Mine. and some new discoveries have
been made Il hundred miles or more cast of that
place. These localities on Lake Huron are
well situated for mining. and We wish our
ncighhors every success in the business.
On Lake Superior large native copper vein
has been discovered Oh Michipocoton Island.
and is now being opened blythe Quebec Mining
Company. and several other veins Of Ike char
actcr have been discovered in that vicinity this
season. This goes to contradict the usually
received theory on the subject Of copper mines
on the north shore. 1t has been supposed ly
biologists that copper would he found only in
the shape Of sulphurcts. and that the native mo-
