While we would refer to the card of these
professional gentlemen. the latter Of whom
has fixed his residence in our beautiful and
thriving young city, we take occasion "a
publish the following article from the POUCH.

The attractions of the "West" are con.
stantly drawing thither the enterprise OF
The EAST" Labor, Genius and Capital vie
with each other in their western march
and are alike certain Of the objects they pur.
sac.
When wealth overleaps, rs it does the
Eastern State the limits assigned it and
,eek for itself new channels, there is indeed
needed head to contrive and hand to ex.
ecute the direction OF the current. CAPITAL

sentng Itself in different aspects Yester.

by experience, To 10 PROV it furnishes land
for labor, and this is the true idea. Land
is the basis ot wealth, and when labor is ap-
piled to it, il Ut once becomes the source of
wealth, to the couulr, and its posse ssors.
And when the thousands who throng our
cities, factories and work hi ps scarcely sub
ss,in1, and witAou. the remotest hope Of
accumulation, learn their true interests,
they obtain lands, rich and productive lands
in the boAndless praires OF the West not
Tor speculation but for labor. And they 90

made upon the in eIlectual, moral and mon

The truth OF these remarks is shown by an
illustration occurring in our midst.
JoHS =. TALLMar. ,be present Surrogate

who have grown up among US, and have for
several years past been honorably and prot
tably engaged together in the practice of

here, on the first Of the present month,
formed new Gu. partnership, in which they !
prosecute their professional, Money, and
Land Agency business, in the City Of Dav-
enpor, in the State OF Iowa. Mr.. PowERs
loes TO Davenport as permanent resi-
dent, AM To give immediate attention to bu-
siness there; while NJ. TALLMaN remains
in poughkeepsie, continuing as hitherto his !
official and professional duties in this cosn.
", and also repr senting the interests OF
concern at the West, and being responsible
.o' the transactions OF the firm.
These gentlemen have travelled in and
are acquainted with the Western States

their complete success there, as they have
already risen here tmnence in Society, in
the Law, and also in Politcs,--each in
turn having been at the head of the politi-
cal organizati OF his party in the county.
