The Great 7;ortl.-wsst-wfat TIE Census Of 1850

The Great North wes5-WEat tie Census o. 1861
VIII show.
The United States census, which aocor-
ding to law will he taken ir 1860, will show
the Great Northwest Republic in itself
In extent it far surpasaes the Southern
and Eastern Stats combined, aud the fig
ures will show that in the increase Of its
population and wealth, it has left other sec
tons of The Union clear in the back ground.
Among the States so designated will
number then the following.
Ohio, Illinois, Minnesota,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Nebraska,
These States and Territories are now
represented in Congress by twelve Sen
ators, fifty six Re- resentatives and three
Delegates. Under the Census Of 1860,
with the present ratio Of representation,
they will be entitled to eighteen Senators,
and from eighty to ninety Representatives,
far more than enough to hold the balance
Of power in both branches Of Congress, be-
tween the North and South. Instead OF
fiddling second to these older sections OF
the Union, and being set aside whenever
the honors and cmolunents Of Government
are distributed, the world in future will
know there IS q West. 1t only wants con
cert Of action, combination if need be, like
our brethren of the South, to have our pro-
per influence in public affairs. The valley
of the Mississippi and the basin Of the
Great Lakes must inevitably be the polit-
icai as well as the commercial centre of this
great nation-such is manifest destiny
The trade OF these inland seas now e.
quals our own foreign trafic-a fact which
lately announced in Congress by one of our
Western Representatives,, was dispatched
by telegraph to the Associated Press, star
Ting the whole country.
1t is time this Western world threw off
its swadling clothes and began to set up
business for itself. 1t has been in the
hands Of guardians long enough. 1t is of
age, as we in the West count years, and
its manhood shonld now be asserted. We
are dependant on nobody for anything.
We raise all we want to eat and wear
and have productive resources enough 10.
feed and clolhe the world besides. We
have commerce Of our own. both foreign
and domestic. We have the largest pra-
ries, longest railroads, and richest lands on
the globe. We have all the elements of
individual happiness and national great
ness that any people can desi.e, and we
only need the determination to consult our
common interest and combine our political
power to constitute ourselves the centre and
soul of this rising Republic. Shall we do
it? Shall we now break off our vassalaoc
to Other and older parts of this Union, and
take our position us the integral but indie
pendent part or the nation, or shall we con
tmue on as mere appendage to the Gov
erment? What say our brethren of the
press on the subject? Let us hear from
yor, gentlemen. We know there are
minds among you that DO their own think
ing. Let us see if we cannot combine and
wake up spirit in the West that will do
its own acting - Cleveland Plaindealer.

NATIVE AND FOREIGN TREEs.--We are
not nsensible to the superio beauty and
value Of some foreign ornamental trees.
Our pleasure grounds could i'll spare the
Norway spruce, Siberian arbor vitae,
Swedish juniper, Scotch larch, English
linden, mountain ash, &c. But we fear
that the richness of our own forests is I'M
appreciated by many planters; to some,
perhaps, it is unknown. Let it not be for
gotten that while we have fifty species OF
oaks in North America, all of Europe has
only thirty. North America has forty
species OF pines and firs-the United States
over twenty-while Europe has only four
teen species. Who among our readers has
pride of country enough to collect all the
native trees which will grow in his lati-
tude? We would travel many miles to
inspect such a collection American Ag

What will come After {

The New York Tribune, in an article es
timating the influence which the present
great revival Of religion will have on the
Slavery question makes the following re-
mark:
The great religious revival at the close
OF the last century was followed in due time
by the abolition Of the slave trade. The
religious revival of quarter of a century
ago again recalled attention. and in more
decided tone than ever before. to the sin
and curse of sIayholGing. 1t is lmpossi
bic but the religious revival now going on
should be attended by appeals to the con,
sciences Of men, and by social results of a
still more decisive character. |, is an nm
deni';bIe fact that the great party founded
on oppSition to the farther extension OF
Slavery, which has sprung into existence
within two or three years past, includes IA
vast proportion Of the religious men Of the
country. Nor can it be doubted for mo
ment that the great religious revival now
