Bat few peopas seea b understand where
the gain maskst Of he West really is.-
Most svssy enc believes that Europe IL The
great rscspsacls and consumer ofour wheat,
and that We must continue to look to that
side Of the ocean 70 dispose Of the larger
portion Of this kind Of grain. This Is
mistake, - the export figures shows. II
b demonstrated beyond doubt, that the
eight Northeastern States use more Of the
wheat crop Of the country than is exported.
Thsas eight States, consisting Of six New
England States, New York, and New Jer
ssy, contain, according 70 the census Of
1860, 1900, 900 people. The average con-
sumption Of wheat BY the people Of this
cosntry 10 five bushel TO ths person, which
gave demand in those States Of $780,
900 bushels Of wheat. The product Of
those States that year was 100000
bushels, leaving . balance Of 97,0"O,OOo
bushels to DO supplied by the agricu ltural.
lists Of the West, and this demand is in
increasing each year. The nine central
Western States in 1860 raised 1922.
O0b, $50 bushels, and consumed 90, 600, 600,
leaving 81 .OOO. 900 ~ marketable surplus.
Out Of this 81, DOC, 900 is used in the North.
eastern States, leaving 100000 for
Great Britain, Europe and the West Indies.
The same proportion holds good Of corn.
The Northeastern States are the great
manufacturing ones Of the Union. They
do not raise near the amount Of corn and
wheat they use while the more agricul
tural States Of the West have . surplus
Tho next ten years will show that thes,
States have doubled on the amount ofthes
articles raised, and that without interfering
with the other products Of the SOIL 1t ma.
be the amount Of grain sent to the Easter
market will not be - large in proportion
to the population as it was in 1860. Tn
increased population Of the West may re
tain more grain in the country, while tn
establishment Of manufactures will aid il
consuming it. The country known as tn
Great West is to be rs celebrated for it
manufactures a. it is for its agriculture
products. Combine these together an
population and wealth will flow in upon US
and We shall take the lead of the nation i
the production Of material wealth, to whic
We can add the other concomitants that z
to make up great people.

JOHN BRloHr ON IRELAsD.-Mr. John
Bright, NJ. P, in a recent Reform speech
in Birmingham, England, referring to the
condition of Ireland, says:
With regard to the land. there have
been TWO hundred Acts Of Parliament
passed in favor Of the landlord. and not
one in favor Of the tenant y (Cheers.)
Look at the Church, am always sorry
to have to say anything which appears in
iurious to the character of the Church
the Church religious is one thing. the
Church political is another. CHEERS
Don't let any laboring, earnest Protestant
clergyman in Ireland think I am under
yaluing any services he may render to
religion-I speak Of the Church as a polit-
ical constitution act downin thatcountry,
not by the opinion Of the people, butby
the power Of the tory people in England.
I say that so long as that Church exists,
there never will be, there never can be in
the nature Of the human mind, there never
ought to be content and tranquility in
Ireland. To the outward eye monarchies
and parliaments seem to rule with an alb
solute and unquestioned sway; but, and
I quote the words which one Of our old
Puritan poets has left for us-Has'7
"There is an earth a yet auguster thing,
Yelled though it be-. than Parliament or
a. King, g ,sl ,,,,g
That suguster thing is the tribunal which
God has set up in the consciences
OF men. It is before that tribunal that I
