PRoBABLR INCREASE OF WEsTkRs Pop-
uLATIoN AND WEALrH-Person who have
figured closely on the matter, estimate that
the increase of population west Of Lake
Michigan, during the year 1857, will reach
full one million and quarter. Statistics
show that over $40 100000 in specie will
be brought into the county By actual set
tiers, during the year. 1t is also estima-
ted that the increase of wealth in the
Western States since 1910, has been tao
thousand millions Of dollars, and that they
must continue to increase in wealth in a.
bout the same proportion. This great in
crease of population and Wealth, is atribu-
table in a great degree to the Railroad en-

and an opinion has long been conceived,
that quickness of inyentii n, accuracy Of
Judgment, or extent of knowledge, appear

form general conclusions, from Instances
which by their own nature must be rare,

things lie is entirely unaware Of the
changed attitude toward each other Of lib-
erty and slavery He knows not but liber-
ty is forever to keep Oh recedlng before
slavery He knows not that at last they
are meeting in direct Conflict and in q
death grapple with each other. That ut
ter blindness and deep delusion,in which he
fancies things are to remain as they were,
reminds me of the old milestone dug up in
the city of New York seyral years ago, on
which was inscribed, % miles to New

it. But the milestone was as unconscious
of the change as Is he Dem crat. The old
