Tn, Gazette of Cincinnati, and the Re
publican Of St. Louis, by joint effusion
published in the Missouri Republican Of the
9th inst. have expressed their doubts and
indifference for the North West" 1t is too
cold -
We fancy We see the venerable editors Of
these ancient papers, seated in their swell

days, with Goa. and vest of, and head and
bosom barred to the service, pcrpetrating
this milk and water article, headed in large
capitals-" A word to Emigrants.' Their
streets deserted, business dull, friends all
gone North and Northwest, to escape the
heat and malaria incident to sultry eli

and e1aspcratcd with toll, dust and confine-
mens, brush from their aching brows food
Of perspiration, rouse their energies, cast
their eyes in tn. direction Of their absent
naighbors, and send forth extinguishing de-
nunciations Of the North West"
The Ga-ette Of Cincinnati, says: "Many
have been disappointed in the character of
the North. western prairies. The winters
are foani to be long and bleak, ard the
winds have kcencr edge than even those
OF the Atlantic coast" These views are in
harmony with those entertained by the ST..
Louis Republican, for it copies and ap-
proves them, saying" The above is from
the Cincinnati Gazette, and as one among
the evidences Of the correctness Of its state
inents, at least in part, IS the fact that ma
ny good farmers who have tried the exper-
'ments Of living in section Of country
North Of the northern line of NJ ssour, are
to be frequently found in this State looking
out homes, alleging as their reason, pre-
feranee for one of milder climate" Seat
cd In our sanc'um at P. NJ with cool
and inTigorating breeze, driving the smoke
Of our meerschaum in our face, as We pe-
russd this article, We heartily wished the
writer's were transported, either in spirit or
person, to en- JOY our cool evenings, and view
with tie the realities of the great " North
West" Look over Iowa, and over our
vast fields of well-harvested grains Did
you ever see such wheat, oats and Hungarian
grass? And look at the endless fields Of
corn, here on the Missouri, growing so tall
the birds can hardly scale it ALL kinds Of
vegetables loading tho rich earth with Won
derfui yields to reward our happy and thank
fnl yeomanry. We heard with pain and re-
greet OF blieh'ing frosts in Ohio, and pro-
trncted drouths in Missouri and elsewhere,
when congenial suns and abundant rains
have constantly favored our growing crops.
commercial crises and failure of the
crops last year, have indeed unsettled some
people Of all parts of our country. Some
going one way and some another; but so
far as the Upper Missouri country is con-
c'rnad, we had better ste last year, and
we have sent large surplus of corn, oats,
and potatoes to swell the markets of st.
Louis. Do not imagine that the people of
the Northwest are responding, and do not
yourself despair Of the country "North Of
the North line of Missouri" Look at ,hs
vast delta between our great Mississippi and
Missouri, rich arabic lands, extending to
the 49th' Of North latitude. And cast YOUR
eye ove- the slope West of the Missouri, ex-
tending to tho auriferous mountains West,
and more than a thousand miles North. west,
spre"ding out in the great valley of the Vel.
low Stone, and interlocking with the Co.
!umbia. True, there is more of Indians and
Buffalo now in that region, than white m en-,
but, the s. march of empire is in tia, di.
rection, and it is all part and parcel Of the
North-Ecst''
We mad counted Cincinnati aud ST. Louis,
rs integral parts Of this my.hica! empire
but We have often been panied to sec
squirting towards Southern instead of
. Central Pacific Railroad, and a readiness to
>hudder at drifts Of snow, and similar ..bur
bears, y that indicate either doubts or dis
trust; and hence, We often hope to feel the
embrace Of those railroad arms, that are ex-
tending from the Lakes to shield and share
our iabors and our commerce. But We will
not abandon cur Southern lines, when we
secaro Eastern connections. The steam
srs that float on our great rivers of this
North West, float by the vharves of St..
Louis and Cincinnati, and rivers and rail
roads VIII aid each other in developing the
country. If Cincinnati and St. Louis ahan.
don the North west, they may at once bid
farewell to their future prc-eninence.-
Chicago is extending her hear. and hand to-
wards US, even to this region of the Upper
Missouri, North Of tho North line Of Mis-
souri," Is your "word to Emigrants," a
friendly hand, or n cold shoulder Our
neighbors Of St. Joseph, in their recent WIS.,
TO Chicago, expressed our views when
they showed thoir regard for a Northern
anu Southern commercial connection that
will be of infinite advantage to our entire
valley. St. Joseph does not desire to be
the. terminus of Missouri settlements, but
feels rs st. Louis should, that "North of
the North line Of Missouri the country will
vastly augment a Missouri commerce, that
will enhance tho wealth of all our cities.
We care nothing for the article, or the
spirit Of the article in the widely circulated
papers in which j, is published, but have
made it text whereby We hope to draw at
tention Ito the North and our future
great resources.
We believe our future wealth and worth
should attract and excite the acquisitive eff
forts of many sections and cities of our Re
public, and we hope honorable emulation

tend to accelerate our progress.
We are convinced that in the future, ou
friends in Cincinnati and St. Louis, will
