In subvrdinetion to this essential idea, is ita humbier machinery for the aid of enicrants on their way, by combining parties, so that friends and neighbors | wight aunraey together; by purchasing tickets at | wholesale, and furnishing them to individuals at the | aetual cost; by providing for each party a con- | @uctor famiiiar with the road, and, through these simple means, promoting the economy, sefaty, and | eomiort of the expedition.
