EMIGRATION TO THE WEST

The tide of Western emigration has set in
with extraordinary force. The accounts from
Kansas ond Nebraka, of the sweeping human
tide which flows on and on, are unparalleled by
anything heretofore known in our history. We
can only compare these accounts to the de-
scriptions which come to us from the same
quarter, of the mighty floods of water which
occasionly sweep over the valleys of>the rivers
snbmerging towns and cities.
This emigration westward is for the present
stimulated by two powerful motives, VIZ: the
absence of employment in the older States,
"ouseqnent upon the late monetary prostration
and Tho 0Vpectatioa Of Ending gold. Whether
tbo aoIdon aroon,s arc destined to be leqlized
is doubtful We see numerous e0nh'rPng &C
counts Of the Pixies Peak diggings, an. are
unable to form an opinion as to, their truth.
Whether the reports of abundant gold are
prompted by interested parties, who are anx-
ious to draw population to the vicinity of their
town sites, as has been alleged, or whether they
are genuine, we are unable to say. At any rate,
they are believed in by thousands and tens of
thousands, who are hurrying on to the New
Eldorado by every possible means Of convey
anee, public and private.
The effect of this unparalleled emigration can
not be doubted. 1t will speedily convert Kan
sas and Nebraska into States of the Union,
and it is not improbable that third State at
the foot of the Rocky Mountains will spring
into existence with the magic speed which
marked the settlement and organization of Cal
ifornia. So immense is the flow of population
into these Territories, that we shall not be sur
prised if the next Congress be called upon to ad-
NIT the three new free States into the Union.
thus making the number twenty-one, against eff
teen slave States.
In consequence of the overwhelming pre-
ponderance which Freedom is rapidly attaining
in the nation, we may look forward to the ne
floa IN the near future when the malign inhu-
enee of Slavery upon the policy and charac-
ter of the nation must be rednced Lot tho
hePuohcans stand by their principles and or
gaalzation, till the victory be complete
