Of the Anglo-Saxon race which frat settled the


Eastern States, commencing at Plymouth 222 years


ago, we must recolect that the population has not


been confined to former limits, but breaking over


imaginary barriers, many years since, the tide Of


population has flowed steadily to the West
I" Two thousand miles westward from the rock
where their fathers landed, may now be found the
sons OF the Pilgrims, cutiva,ing smiling fields
rearing towns and villages, and cherishing the pa
trmoniai blessings of wise Institutions Of liberty
and religion Advancing, generally, north of
a line drawn through the fortieih degree of North
latitude, the descendants of a Puritan ancestry
now preponderate in the Northern and Western
parts of the States of New-Ycrs and PENNSYLVANIA,
Northern Ohio, Indiana and Illinois and all parts
Of Michigan and Wisconsin. 1t may safely be as
serted that in these States and Territories the pop
ula,ion of New-England stock amounts 10 at least
three millions Of souls. Nor do rivers, mountains.
or seas resist the progress of industry and enter
prise. Ere long the SONS OF the Pilgrims vii! be or


he shores of the Pacific. The Imagination hardly
keeps up with the progress of population, Improve
ment and civilization" We take no accoun, in
.hese observations of those numerous emigrants
who, from spirit Of commercial enterprise or
'ther causes, swell The population of cities, or
seek their fortunes in Southern and foreign climes
