and beheld its sweeping desolation ; and
the world can never Abercrombie Outlet answer. I have seen thus, in all its forms and features, the grand and irresistible march of civilization. 1 have seen this splendid Juggernaut rolling on, and beheld its sweeping desolation ; and held converse with the happy thousands, living, as yet, beyond its influence, who have not been crushed, nor yet have dreamed of its approach.
I have stood amidst these unsophisticated people, and contemplated with feelings of deepest regret, the certain approach of this overwhelming system, which will inevitably march on and prosper, until reluctant tears shall have watered every rod of this fair land ; and from the towering cliffs of the Rocky Mountains, the luckless savage will turn back his swollen eye, over the blue and illimitable hunting grounds from whence he has fled, and there contemplate, like Caius Marius on the ruins of Carthage, their splendid desolation.
