The sacred fire, bu!' the tonSeTrdtors oft, by
which alone the purest patriotism VAS lighted.
Tie very principles upon which this |
government is based arc righteousness and
Justice, and it cannot be destroyed, for there
is God whose hand is visible everywhere
presiding over our dcstinies. The glorious
Constitution, given us by God himself, is now
in lis hands, and not in the hands Of tie gen
erals. What VIC need now is to turn our eyes
from our generals, from our Cabinet Minis
from men whose breath is in their nostrils, to
the Lord God of Hosts. Let us seek after 4
purer faith, and Eindle at the alters Of our
God, fires Of purcr patriotism

s1EEcu OF ws1- BRoss, ESQ.
Mr. Bross of the CHICAGO TRIBUNE WAS
called Oft to respond to this toast. He CON-
n1cnccA by relating an Interview between his
former pastor in Grunge county, y. T., and
himself, OIL the lake Shore two or three years
after Mr. B. CAME to Chicago. The reverend
gentleman had just arrived on q visit, and his
former parishioncr was telling him of our
lakes, pr;aiTits and rivers, when Mr. Wood re-
Piled, "Yes, Mr. Brose, you indeed have great
rivers, and rich prairies, and great lakes, aud
agreat many great things, and you surely can
tell great stories" T ny reverend pastor
be satisfied th,t the Northwest can get up
great Sewing Machine Convention.
The sentiment speaks Of the Northwest aS
the great lap Of the continent It is, indeed,
one Of the largest and most productive val
less in the world, What is known rs the
Northwest is embraced in a boundary COM
menclng, say at Cairo, and running northwest
to the s1im1nits Of the Rocky Mountains west
| Of Denver City, some !, 500 miles west Of us.
| Thence along those submits run the line LOCO
! miles north, when it turns east through the
| beautiful 1tasca Lake, and through the great
lakes to the mountains of New York, Penn
! sy1vania and Virginia whence issue tue springs
Of the Ohio, and thence down that beautiful
Of Of The L missouri ana the Piatte At the southern
extremity Of our own Prairie State. Another
country so vast and so rich in every element
fiat can give wealth and all the means Of q
high intellectual and social refinement
inc sun dues not behold in all bis
course. That part Of It west oj
Lake Michigan Is alone capable of making
fourteen States as large as Ohio and vastly
richer and more productive. In regard to thi:
point, he was few years since riding through
1llinois With company Of the first pomolo
gists OF the country, and he asked these eXpe
ricnced gentlemen how much Of that land the,
wanted to live on, or in other words AoV
mich it would take on the average to supper

cd proprietors Of the Rochester (N. ~ Nnr
series, said 4 la1facre was ample, and none o
them put it higher than an acre. If that b
correct a very simple calculation will shoE
that Illinois will support IS, 5,si0, 900 people
Iowa will support some thirty millions

and granting not balf Of this to be true, til
mind is really overwhelmed at the g1oriou
fnture that is before US. It is the mission {
