Her inland seas and noble rivers, have already become the high ways of a vast and rapidly increasing commerce. The silent forest of by-gone days has disappeared before the progress of civilization, and the matin voice of a mighty nation resounds over a scene as varied as it is beautiful. In the foreground, stand the populous cities and ¿ourish ing towns, which stud the margins of her rivers, and the shores of her lakes in the perspective, repose the free and happy homes of her rural population. The farmer is the owner in fee-simple of the soil he tills, and re joices in an independence of the most sturdy and com plete character. In the various industrial professions, enterprize, economy, and prudence, rarely fail to secure a competence in numberless instances they are the avenues to wealth. This country abounds with mer chants, who by the exercise of these qualities, have been eminently successful and every-day experience presents to our notice mechanics who, as the architects of their own fortunes, have won their way to positions alike well merited and honorable.
