20 ascertain. IL is little singular that
IN the comprehensive asd eompeadioss
volume. issued by the Unitesl States Gov
ernmeut last year. there Is no statement
showing the comparative rapidify with
which each is advancing, in each Of the
several States.
From the 6gnres therein contained. how
er, IL is not difficnlt TO frame such state
ment. We observe correspondent Of the
National lutelligencer has undertaken the
task. In long table Of figures taken
from the Census report, he arrives at the
following results. which although they
are as precise aud certain as any other
sum in arithmetic, large part of the peo-
pie of the Union steadfastly deny, or pur-
posely ignore.
A traveller who should sit out at the
Texan frontier, or anywhere else on the
southwestern side of the national domain,
and journey towards the North and East,
would meet on his road the following fact
one after another, in as regular succession
as the steps to ladder
l. Farms regularly diminish in size and
increase in number. as we proceed from
South North AMI East.
2. The proportion of improved land
steadily increases, and that of unimprov-
ed land steadily dim nishes, irrespective Of
the density of population, as we proceed
from South to North and East.
8. The cash value of farms, both in the
aggregate and in the prices per acre; regu-
larly increaoc, as we proceed from South to
Evrsls ssSrd Dast.
4. The production of corn and wheat
regularly and steadily increases. without
an exception, as We proceed from South to
North and East.
5. The productive industry of the peo,
pie, both in the aggregate and as individ.
uals, regularly increases, as we proceed
from South to North and East.
6. The density of the population regu
larly increases, as we proceed from Soutl
to North and East
7. The rate Of increase of population
Regularly increases, as we proceed iron
South to North and East
s. The number of manufactures regu
larly increases, aa we proceed from Soutl
to North and East.
9. The amount OF shipping regularl,
increases as we proceed from South tt

10. The amount of capital regularly in
creases as we proceed from South to Nortl

Il. The number of railroads regulall
increase as we proceed from Sonthto Nort

r. The number of canals and pos
roads regularly increases as we proceet
from South to North and East.
ID. The number of telegraphs and tele
graph stations regularly increases as w
proceed from South to North and East
IA. The number of persons who canno
read and write steadily diminishes, anc
that of the schools and scholars regularl,
increases as we proceed from South t
North and East
Is. The number CT churches and thos
who worship therein steadily increases a
we proceed from South to North an
East.
These are the facts shown by the unerr
ing figures of the census. They do nc
depend upon the com parative age, nor upo
the fertility of the States, for whether W
proceed from the older to these newer, c
from the newer to the older--trom tb
fertile to the sterile, or the sterile to Ii
fertile, the result is just the same.
This constant order of succession woul
seem to indicate some fixed law or cor
stantly operating cause. But what th'
law or cause may be the census does NJ
state. Neither does the Intelligencer.-
Neither do we. But we think it is write
plainly enough, and that too, 'in black an
white all over the face of this broa
continent.-Ala5any Journal.
