The Increase.
The natural tendency of West Virginia
has been to go forward and increase. Only
q Chiurse-shoe policy has been able to
keep her back. A hostile policy aud
burdsnsome taxation have kept her down
close to the earth, yet despite the load she
has crept along and has allthe time gained
on the east The census report shows that
in ten years the white population of the
new State increased sl.2s2 or 80 per cent.
while the slaves have decreased nearly
thousand in the same period, or 81 per
cent. The whole of old Virginia in The
sans teu years, gained II per cent. only.
on her white population, aud per cent. on
her slaves; the entire increase being only
l2i per cent. lis small thing TO say
that West Virginia, in the next ten years.

A reasonable estimate is that she will
quadruple it. The advance in the val

In . still greater ratio. The increase of
values in State is always largely in over
proportion to the increase of population.
