EGOTISM.

Our friends will pardon us for pup
fishing, occasionally, few OF the many
words of cheer like the following that
are reaching us from every quarter.
Many cheering letters that we receive
are accompanied by injunctions OF Sc
cresy, from O morbid fear the writers
have of appearing in print; but we do
not feel that we are violating confidence
in presenting these:
"Dear Mrs. Dlmi,Cdy:-Please apply
the enclosed two dollars Currency on
my account. Don't know how much j
owe, as have not yet received my bill.
But I know you cannot supply your
friends with the intellectual feasts you
provide for them weekly without funds.
And, by-the-by, your paper grows bet
ter every week. God bless you, dear
friend. What would become of our no
ble cause without you? 1t is easy to
sit by our fires and sympathise with the
right, but to go forth and fight for it as
you do requires q spirit of self-sacriiice,
fortitude and ability which few possess.
Long live the New NORTHWEST and its
noble proprietor.
"Please change my address from Am
ity to Dayton.
"Your ardent admirer and true friend,
"T. S. WHITCONB.
dayton, Or, January 2l, '73."
We have not yet sent your bill, from
sheer lack of time TO attend 10 it. With
everything to do, from making beds and
biscuits to washing dishes, editing the
NEW NORTHWEST and making speeches,
to answering calls and patching trow-
sers, engineering Conventions and sew
ing on buttons, We find it impossible to
be as prompt in business matters as we
should like. But let every lady who
has a spare dollar for the paper send it
along. We must have money to keep
it going and will eheerfully acknowledge
all we receive.
The above answer will also apply to
the following:
"Dedr Mrs. D,mit0dy:-I did not re.
ceive my paper of January 10th; the
postmaster said it never came TO the Of
flee. Please send it, for am deeply in
terested in Mrs. Victor's story, and can,
not bear to lose chapter of it. And
please let me know when my subscrip
tion ends, for cannot do without the
NEW NORTHWEST.
MAY God speed you in your noble
work, is the earnest desire of
"MRS. S. J. CAREY.

WHAT A PITY!

Aspurlent, groveling mind is always
ready TO surmise an under-current of OBJ
scenlty in anything and everything
which 1t does not fully understand, orcan
convert It into dirty douJlc-entendrc.
Among this class of persons the effete
simpleton of the Forest Grove Hade-
pendent is making his mark. He hasn't
brains enough to become distinguished
in any other capacity. Sorry, very.
The man who controls the columns of 4
newspaper ought, for the sake of his
patrons, TO be above low, groveling mas
tiness Of Imagination.
1t is really too bad that such fostering
rottenness fiourishes in the otherwise
decent and delightful village OF Forest
Grove. But 1t can't last long, for the
cltizens cannot endure it.

THE CONVENTION.

When the next issue OF the New
NORTHWEST reaches our readers the
Woman Suffrage Convention will be in
progress; consequently, this is the last
opportunity for effective exhortation to
delegates, whether elected from auxili-
ary societies, or volunteers in the ser
vice-all Of whom are expected and will
be heartily welcOmed-to be sure to
rally around the flag Of freedom, justice
and humanity upon that important oc-
caslon. Friends, don't wait to be in
vlted. The cause needs you. Its Presi-
dent and subordinate officers have
many cares and much labor upon their
brains and hands. There are many
sympathizers who have never yet pub
liely identified themselves with the
movement.
Now is you chance, friends. Come
out to the meetings. If you can't make
speeches you can listen; if you can't
write essays you can vote. The Con-
ventIon needs you. Plenty of oppo-
nents to the cause will be there. They
always come.
Remember that by patronizing Cap
tain AinsWorth's line Of steamers or the
w. r. T. Co. in coming TO the Conven-
ton, you will be entitled to a certificate
from the President of the Association
that will enable you to return home
without extra expense. Entertainment
will be provided by friends In the city
for delegates from a distance. Every
friend whether man or woman, who car
speak, sing, write essays or read then
and rote is invited to participate.

THE OUTSIDE" ON THE wARPATH.

The McMinnville Patent Outside,
having been bafiled in its attempt TO
cast mud on the New NORTHWEST, now
tries another tack, and opens upon Us
with a scurrilOus volley quite as ridicu-
lous and false as the other. After garb-
ling and otherwise mutilating one of our
editorials, ii accuses us of "wrangling
in the Temperance Alliance" The
simpleton had better go slow until he
can learn to read and understand plain
English. The fact is that all the
"wranglingr that was done in the Tenn
perance Alliance, as full reports pub
lished in all the respectable papers and
now on file in the Library in this
city clearly prove, was committed by a
very small faction of weak minded men.
Not a lady there made one intemperate
speech. Every word that we uttered is
on file In the published reports, and the
sniveling outside knows, If it has one
grain of common sense, and will ae-
knowledge, il it has one spark of COM
mon honesty, that we stood our ground
with dignity and firmness, against the
meanest possible network of petty OPP
preston and noisy opposition; and the
right triumphed after hard and long
battle on the part OF our many friends,
against the deceit and treachery and ig-
norance and prejudice of 4 very few, but
very mean and noisy enemies We are
ready for the next mud ball.. Try
again, if it amuses you. We are not
hurt, but We are ashamed of some of
woman's protectors.

VIII our friends who have monies In
their possession which have been collect
ed as subscriptions to the New NORTH

At once? We are sorely pressed for cash

member, every little helps, and if you
cannot send but little at a time every
nai-dollar will help to swell necessary
sums wherewith to liquidate ever aecrn-
Ing bills.

Gen. Logan, of Illinois, has intro
Jluced 4 Utah Bill in Congress bearing
even harder on the Mormon women than
Senator Frelinghuysen's. Since this
bugbear of polygamy troubles our vir-
tuous lawmakers so much, why don't
they punish the men, who alone are re-
sponsible for it? Isn't it cowardly to
disfranchise the women and allow the
men to go scot free when the latter are
the greater sinners?

EmlQRATlON. !

During the last ten years, Minnesota
has been constantly engaged in building
railroads, and as natural consequence,
immigration has drifted along in the d..
rection Of established lines, and settle
ment has been cotemporancous with their
completion; thus the recently added pop
ulation Of the State, has been scattered
over portion Of the country compare
lively new. while the Oldest counties
have increased their population but very
little. A variety Of causes conspired to
effect cessation of railroad enterprises,
with the close Of last year, and the food
of immigration was left free to flow in
the more natural channels, along which
civilization and markets may be found.
As result of this freedom we find that
the newer sections of the State have re-
ceiyed but very little additional settle
ment, while the older have largely in
creased their population. Outside of the
cities and villages, this county has had
its population, increased by at least, two
hundred persons, during the preceding
six months, and we have abundant reason
for believing that the same is true of Free
born and Steele counties. Nearly all
of these have purchased land and become
bona fide settlers. Heretofore, the desti.
nation of foreigners coming to Minneso.
ia, was fixed by the emmigrant agents
and these latter have been in the interes,
or under the control Of railroad compa.
MES, which accounts for the fact that In
in some Of thevcry bestcounties of the
State the population, during five years
previous to the present, had not increas
ed ten per cent The result is perfectly
natural. With most Of the land owned
by non-residents and taxes unpaid from
year to year, there could be only such
improvements as were indispensable
while private enterprise was smothered
BY lack of.means. The expense Of main
tanning county government has been i
burden everywhere, not less 90 in the old
er settlements, than in the new, while thu
condition Of settlers on the frontier, ha.
often been Of such . character Is to re
quire aid from their moro fortunate fellow
citizens Of the State, and q. conse
quence there has not been that degree O
progress and prosperity that might other
wise have been expected. Thele Il
be learned from our present condition Is
