From the Proirie Flower. A Legend of the Prairie.
BY NR. I. ALLISON.
The prairie. abounds iu legendary lore. The Red man, whose joyful laughter or vies torious war-shout once pealed far and free over these vast plains with no unusil emit ence or abrupt angle to echo them back ngain, have gone to seek moro peaceful homes beneath the Western Sun, leaving nothing but the mossy hillocks which cover tho remains of their ancestors and the light of their legend to immortalize them. ‘These vast solitudes, once pregnant with life and thought and bolder action, gathered within their precinct. all the softer dreams of un- civilized love and all the glory of valorous achievement; romantic exploits were told of, in all the glowing imagory of the untaught mind, and at the noon of night, the loved one stole forth to meet her dusky hero in their rude trysting bower. ‘The chase and battle, the courtand camp, called forth the courage of the young und the eloquence of the aged—ainid the wild tumult of the con- Mlct or the solemn stillness of the council, there pulsated hearts teeming with the gen: erous feelings of our nature and ardently sighing for glorious distinction. But with the flight of time their simple traditions are all we have left to linger upon—their race is nearly extinct—ard their records are to us almost matters of history. While the In- dian warrior basks in the presenco of the Great Spirit, and his faithful dog bears him company, let us remember that our actions will soon live but in story and in song and that

of power, b w'er gave,
Within the prnirie is contained all the ele- ments necessary to fanciful conception, and yet, in all il characters there rests upon it ihe sweetness of ropose. ‘There is sublimi- ty inits immense extent, beauty in its blend- ed coloring and melody in the whispering of its breezes. In thesunlight’s gleam it seems calm and peaceful as a summer’s morn, but when the tempest wakes up in its wrath and the angry cloud flies over it, tho scene is fearfully terrific. Flowers and fruits there grow in all the fertility of uncultivated lu: uriunce, and bud, blossom and mature to sat- isfy the appetite of the scented sir—the my: terious formations of nature in all their de- licate and exquisite arrangements abound in leaflet and shrub and tothe enquiring student
“Evory bush and tuftedree,
Warbles sweet philoaaph; Grandeur and loveliness aro admirnbly combined in its appearance, and the liveliest colours with which fancy would invest it would fall far short of reality. Mon may speculate ng to its formation, may assign. a certain physical revolution as its cause, or may assert that it was hurled forth from the Hand of the Omnipotent in its present like, hoss, yet their solutions have not been more demonstrable than the legend of the savage, whose Bohemoth ate the trees from its sur- face to satisty the cravings of its nppetite.
Tt was at the conclusion of one of those summers that had scaitered its richest pro~ fusion of flowers over the pririe—when the grape turaed purple, hung clustering on the wild vine and tho partridge was whistling to the call of its fellow, tant n largo body of Indian warriors assembled upon the cliff] which overhung the smoothly flowing waters of the Kickapoo. Inthe glen below all was richness in vegetable, and gaiety ia animal life—for the leaf of the poison oak, as it twin- ed around tho tall cotton wood had arrayed itsolf in scarlet drapery and the wind sigh- ing throvgh the branches sung a pleasing anthem tothe approach of winter—the turkey frequently called the young to her protection and tho jay made obsequious bows to the visitants above. Judging from the counten- ance, that sturdy band of the sons of tho prairie had caught none of the inspiration of nature. Of the finest mould of men, with braced sinow and strung muscle, theirfiufis of finaly dyed feathers waving’ gracefully, and the evlored porcupine quill tastefully arranged upon their persons, they were beautiful speci- mens of that race, belore the “fire water” had enervated tho elasticity of their bodies and relaxed their strength of mind. Yet in spite of that common trait in tho Indian character, which prompts them to meet death with the fortitude which will not suffer the distortion of a muscular lino, Visible anxiety was portrayed in their features and the eve quickly turned when the squirrel snapped a decayed branch in his passage from limb to limb. Mental emotion may often be obsery- ed in the movement of a finger and that guurded education which taught thein to calm the sterner passions and restrain them from bursting into boisterous expression, could not entirely hush the whisper or still the’slight quivering of the arrows in their bands. ‘The chief, taller than his fellows, after keenly observing every thing around, prostrated himself upon the ground and crept slowly to the edge of the bluff, his followers watching his actions with the gaze of a rattle-snake. With his head over the edge of the cliff he seemed intently bent upon catching some sound, so absorbed was he; but failing in suc- cess, lic clambered over its brow—-clinging by hazel twig and underwood, he explored each overhanging bank of earth and each tangled thicket, and leaning forward until his body appeared almost ata right angle with the precipice, he peered through the obscurity of leaf and vine. Gradually descending he ar~ rived ata point, the abruptsteepness of which admitted of no fariher progress—for the earth loose in its composition hind fallen away leaving a projecting ledge that shelved in- wardly along its whole extent. Despairing of the accomplishment of his object, thechief had turned his eye upwards to select route for return, when his well trained ear caught the rustle of withered herbage and sirultane- ous with the moment bis eye rested upon the spot—a warrior darted form the covert of a capse with rapid strides; bounded across the glen, supporting in his arms a female form, interposed asa shield between hims:If and destruction. Shrill rose the yell of that In- dian chief, waking the echoes of the morn, startling the deer from his lair and the pheasant from its cover, when he saw the
form of Opinais and her lover. A hundred arrows) twanged on the sfring—a hundred arms fell powerless by the side; tho recollecs tion of the benuty ond tho virtues and the simplicity of Opinais, provented the fight of the arrow and rendered her as invulnerable as the Grecian warrior. Thechieftain’s first impulse was to leap over that chasm and pursue; but his inevitable fate gleamed upon him, nature revolted and he looked placidly on, his countenance assuming its wonted com- posure. Opeetah, (for that was the unlet- tered name of him who boré the maiden in his arms) heeding not brako of brae, sprang across the waters of the Kickapoo, clambered up the steep ascent of tho opposite sido, rest- ing not until he had attained its summit; for he knew that a barricr, wide, as death, was between his loved one and his enemy, and that it was not far from thenoé to the lodges of his people. Little necd hui he to fear the anger of that chief; one glanceat his daugh= ter rendered him softand pliant ns a cradled child.
“There isa feeling of the heart,” part, of the Nature of the Beity, pure and lovely, which laughs at all the arbitrary distinctions of society und scorns the pre-eminence of rank and wealth. Within that bosom cover- ed by the tawny skin of the Indian—there js on intensity of expression none can mca~ sure, and ali his passions. cower before the force of parental love. ‘Cho earliest smile nnd word, the simplicity of infnatile prattle, thoearnest sorrow atdoparture, and the bright beam of the eye at the return, the kindness and attention of maturer years, so clearly evidencing that all the affections are centred upon one object, bura into the breast an im- pression which time and circumstances can- not eradicate. History may produce evi~ dences of men of stern and rugged character, bursting its bands and. despising its power; yet the commentary often adds, that tho ef- fort which sundered in twain the parent and offspring, softencd and snapped the father's own heart strings. Ithas no parallel save in tho return of fondness by the child—that fondness which hears sweet music in the ac- cents of the mother, plants roses over hier tomb and waters thom with tears—whose memory harmonizes the feeling, regulates the conduct and guides us
“When 6i And leay
and yeara and manhood dee us ACA mother’s knee.”
In such a mood was Waconsta that old chief, witha tear trembling in his eye, as Onsennt turned to survey the ‘scene, scorn curling his lip and his em raised as if in’, definiice of numbers, The recollections of infancy hnd quickly gathered; pent up and muffled by the walls of the chest, the breast heaved and seomed almost swollen to burst- ing by its increasing powor, until naturo has tened to his reliel, and that evidence of weakness so degrading to the Indian, stood clear and limpid upon upon organ of sight. “Will not Opinnis come back to the wigwam of her father,” he asked in a faltering tone, “the fire shall buen brightly and we will sing the song of gladness at your return.” Wa- cousta is like the stricken'deer, lone and des- olate, or like the giarled onk, reft of its loaves —he droops and will dio unless his daughter returns to the lodges of her people. Her joy § life will,restore strength to she deer and re- vive the decaying oak. ‘The voices of stran- gers gratclharshly on my ear, and shall Wa- cousta go tothe Great Spirit without a fare- well from the mouth of Opinais? ‘Uhe spirit of your mother beckons (0 you—come back, my daughter, come.
Woman's power is in her tenrs but that grief which cen subdue the harsher features of man’s character and bow down his haugh- ty soul beneath its weight, obiains the sym: pathy of the young and the good, and the scorn of the presumptuous... Despite the ardency of that loye which she bore toward tho warrior and which burned the more vividly amudst the stern opposition of her fathor, Opinais would have rushed to his arms (for who could resist the imploring tone of parevtal fondess?) had not Opectah touched her upon the shoulders, and as. she turned to look \ipon him, his countenance as- atined that forbid ng aspect Which awed her into subtnission, and clearly showed that he was lord of tho willas well as of the heart. As that delicate and gracefully formed girl sat upon the bank, ber hair floating in the wind and her wistful gaz dirccted towards her father, and ns Opeetah stood beside her with brawny-form and animated gesture, it wasn picture worthy to be copied by the artist of more romantic days. “You thought to.entrap the wild wolf,” said-he, “but you should have waited until his hoir became groy and his teeth blunted like those of his broth- er," and as he spoke he pointed toward Wa- cousta. “Follow him to his Inir, he defies your power and will not be ensnared.” He again touched Opinais upon the shoulder, she rose and followed him, aod they turned their steps toward their encampment upen the banks of the Indian. Wacousta gazed upon the form of his lost daughter until it vanish ed in the distance, and as hope expired, he brushed the tear from his eye, wended his way up the bank; placing himself at the bead of his band, he uttered his mouosyl- labic word of command, and slowly and mournfully they walked toward their home, high up upon the timbers of the Embarrass.
Opinais was the only child of Wacousta. Having lost her mother in early infancy all that affection which had been profusely lav~ ished upon the wife, wos poured forth with redoubled jfroce upon the only living evi- dence of existence she had left; he loved her for her parent, he loved her for herself and with the digaity ofan Indian chief, he loved
her because through her and her lineage alone could that rudo but despotic honor which he enjoyed be transmitted down to succeeding generations. Brave as a lion and senrrod in many a skirmish, Wacousta was better pleased to observe the growing evi: dences of his daughter's beauty, than to seo the scalp of his foe or hear the song of triumph. She literally grow up beneath his eye, during waking hours she was constant ly the subject of his direction nnd admira- tion, and the theme of his dreams in sleep; to her was given the Inst fareweil at departure, and hers was the first joyous greeting upon relurn. Plaiting the willow basket, paddling the canoe or practising with the bow, he would gaze upon the sparkling eye, the de
Hiente but finely moulded form, the ensy mo- tion, a9 if he could not tire in the employ: inent, and when her sonorous laugh rang’ through the forest, it found n rosponso in the rapturous emotion of his own bosom— Engaged in the domestic duties of the lodgo or the wild sports of Indinn life.she lived and loved her father, and incorporated into the very being of Wacousta, she. xupidly passed into womanhood.
Upon one of those winter ovenings that chill the faculties of man into numbness, and whilst her father was out upon a hunting ex- cursionyan Indian, tall aod of commanding ‘Sppearance, hegged at the wigwam of Wa- cousta, refreshmentand shelter for the night, Opinais kaew that he belonged not to her tribe; though the paint on his face was par- tially washed off, and the plumed eal ip ped with tho night dew, yet tho decorations of his person differed from those which sho had beon accustomed to see upon those with whom she had daily intercourse, and in the liniaments of his countenance she could ro- cognize nothing with which she had been fa miliar, Surrounded by friends, yet alone, ut first her maiden coyness prompted ber tor ject his request, but the emploring tone and beseeching look defied denial and that geu erosity which was characteristic of her peo- ple and succored the fuinting warrior of| other tribes, compolled' her to nequicsce in the rites of hospitality. Hy ate of the hum- ble but heart¥provision, and elept beneath the roof of the wigWa ut with the rising sin of the morn, he Seemed inclined to. lin ger within its threshhold, and no evidence of ulerity to go on his way could be perceived atits setting. Surprised at tho unusal ap- pearance of the stranger, but placing imp cit confidence in the chieftain's daughter, the inhabitnots, who remained, merely enquired his tale, andin the evening he was made welcome with the noise of the fenst, with wassail and revelry. Afier the first meeting, Opinais felt no unusual restraint in tho pre- sence of Opeetnh, but was astonished to find that whenever her stolen glance wns directed towards him, it found an absorbing gaze riv- etted upon her, but quickly turned away ot the unoxpected mecting. He told her in a musically toned voice that he had been com- missioned to carry the emblem of war to a
trilie upon the waters of the Suagamo—that unfortunate in obtatning food he had arrived, famished aod weary, on his homeward way, at the village of Wacoustn. Opinais soon learned to look upon him without fear, to ad- mire his manly form, to watch anxiously for his coming—to listen with undivided atten- tion tohis recital of feats of prowess; the subdued whisper and the frequent blush soon proclaimed (hit the beauty and the genius of Opectah wos fast acquiring mastery over tho the simple heart of the innocent maiden.— Opinais knew but little of love—yet she had heard of it in legend and confessed its power. In'a few days her whole soul had become cemented into thit of Opeetah and the most distant allusion to separation, would cause her head to droop and her usual vivacity to rolapse into absolute melancholy. Whilst in this condition of wild and romantic dream iness, the form of her father would flit acro: her mind and she feared that she “was tr ding on forbidden ground:” she knew that he would startlo with instinctive horror at the Prospect of separation from his child, and that he would never sanction her union with one who boasted but of an humble station in the rank of his tribe. Yet this thought made her rely with more trembling confidence upon tho faith of Opeetah, and his efforts wero not required to be urduous or the time long in persuading her to sever the bonds which existed between herself and her peo- pleto ly with him over the prairie, to be the bride of his bosom, and the pride of his heart. Wacousta returned to find his lodge ton- aatless, and his hope crushed ia the bloom- ing; the chango seared and withered the joy of the chiefiain and all his mirth was chang- ed into melancholy sadness.
Like the first impression of denth, the commencement of anguish is overwhelming. Tt admits no consolation, hears no soothin voice, and heeds not the sympathetic tear:
“The sky, sen, nis, that lived and glowed,
With light and life and lovoliness; suddenly lose the charms, and no beautiful bird or painted Nower or chequered landscape, but seemed tw mock at his phrenzy and exalt over his blighted and ruined prospects. Denth may gripe at bis victim, the hnir may grow grey upowhis brow, the spheres may wheel bringing successions of seascns, their fruits and their frosts, but unconscious of the change, his own woes are his only torture;
“Despair like a worm in the bud
Feedaon his pallid cheek,”
the tenement which encompasses his spirit sioks beneath its ravages, and their dissolu- tion is his final release.
Wacoustn’s desire was to regain his daugh- ter and revenge himself upon her ‘betrothed. Fora time it was evidenced in lonely wander ings, and not a pnssing smile or recognizing look could be observed to vary the monotony of higfeutures. But he outlived its*weight, and there returned the buoyancy of animn- ted action; the council again listened to his wild oratory, and their assembled wisdom proposed plans-nd matured intriguo to ac- complish their object. Yet no man dare look within the precincts of his lodge; there the heart of Wacousta retired within. itself,
and upon many a little altar, represented by some favorite oroament of his daughter, he worshipped her image. Fearful to encoun- ter in open contest the band to which Opeetoh belonged, in consequence of its superior strength, he harrassed his foe with wile and snare, the unsuccessful issue of which chill- ed not his endeavours, his failing body dis- covered the powerful agitation of his mind, yet that ‘mind became more ardent and vig- drous upon the ruin of its habitation.
Upon that morning on which the events occurred that we have before described, Opectah and Opinais impelled by its bracing atmosphere, and feeling perfect security in their uaion, had strayed too far beyond their accustomed limits and were notawnkened to their danger, until advised of its nlmost im- mediate presence. ‘I'he party of Wacousta had discovered on the moistened earth the
prospect of succvss, they endeavored to Re- cure theie victim. The chief was at the heat and spied-out their trail with the certainty of a grevhound. Sheltered by: the covering of the timbor and unseen, Opectah and his bride oxerted every energy to outstrip their pure suors; to arrest their course and impede their Progress, they waded through tangled thicket and traversed the course of the streams; they chose the most abrupt ascent of the ravine and were only checked in their onward flight by the rugged cliff that over- hung the Kickapoo. Walking backward in the very foot-prints which they had made in coming, until they had retraced somo. di tance from the cliff, they sprang upon fallen wood and lone rock, which left not a vestige of their way, and thus traversing the bluff by circuitous route, they found an cas y descent to the glen below. ‘There Opinnis Jay down in the arms of Opeetah to rest al= ter their oflorts and rejaice in their salvation.
Cautiously and: silently the pursuers ex- amined the crushed herbage, patiently they turned the waters of the rivulet and slowly they advanced step by step. until they arriv= ed at the spot where the commencement of our legend found them, ia tumultuavy, but hushed excitement.
Some few months after the events occur- red, which we bave before narrated, and pon the same spot, (wo large bodies of war- riors were engaged in fierce and deadly con- flict. Thore was a whistle in the fight of the arrow and an impulse given to the pas~ sage of the battle axe, which betokened the keenest animosity, and as one and another of the combatants rapidly fell, gliding form tree to (ree, the remainder closed up the line and tas furiously over the very from of
f prostrated brothers. ‘The ghastly con- vulsion of death they stopped not to look upon; neither intimidated or wavering, they sought tho thickest of the fray nnd weleorned the fate which mado them a victim. Opectah and Wacousta were in advance of the others. encouraging and animating their mien with yell and prowess, and across the intervonin= Space, their eyes gleamed hostility as if their very bear could pierce into the inmost. re- cesses of the bosom. Discouraged by his want of success, the chief had senttho chal lenge, and this was his-revengo, But dear. ly was it bought—foras the impotious rush began to fail and the deafening noise to cease, all the nobly formed men, who on that morn were fresh with strenath, lay writhing or stiffened on tho ground, except Opeetah on the one side, with Wacousin and a companion as rivals. ‘The furmer reserv- ng his strength for a desperate contest, watched his adversaries and endeavored to secure, by a bold manocuvre, victory over both. Pretending to fly, he attempiod tho movement of the last of tho Brothers of tho Horatii: with lagging limb and distorted body, asif wounded, he turned’ his back upon _his old enemy; by detaching them in pursuit ho supposed he could obtain. victory over each in single attack. Emboldened by what he conjectured fo be real fight, Wacousta, pres- ed on, but his ardor, could notoutstrip the gon- erous feeling of his follower, who rushed 0 the defence of his old chieftain. Opectah then saw po resort but to continue, and away he went, and away they followed down the easy descent to the glen, across the waters of its reain acd away along the upland ia the direction that Openais and himselChad former- ly fled fromthe mournful entreaties of her father. In that race, with so important a prize, they strained their swelling muscles almost to bursting and thoy gained or lost dis- tance, as hope or fear buoyed up or depres sed the mind of Opectah. He frequeutly turned to cateh the desired advantage; but his pursuers seemed to anticipate his wish and to feel that their united strength was ne~ cessary in the contest with so subtle a foe.— He soon arrived near his wigwam, resolving like'a tion at bay to defend it with every ¢ ertion, when he perceived the warrior a short distance in advance of tho chioftain; gra: ing his stone axe, ho poised it for n mon with well directed aim it cleaved the nir and the Indinn lay a bleeding corpse. Wacousta enraged to desperation by the loss of his fol- lower, and sensible that all was to be gained by a well directed effort, hurled his own with ns certain an nim, and Opecinh fell sonseless at his thresho!dnnd at the feet of Opinnis. Happy would it have been for the chief had his blow ended here; but glancing from the head of Opeetah it struck Opinais upon the brenst, nnd Wacousta opened the spring tu the life blood of his own daughter. Rushing up to scalp his victim, and uncon= scious of the havoc he had made, he had but time to observe hor point toan infant that Iny in the lodge and smile away into insen- sibility. Fearfully distinct was his sorrow —long and lingering the kiss which, kneel ing, he imprinted upon her lips. Lifting carefully the inanimate form of his daugh- ter and the breathing one of her infant, he passed out of the lodge, and though many looked upon him, yet they heeded him not or his burden, and arrested hitn notin his path, On that evening the inhabitants of the village were startled to perceive their old chief approaching, bending beneath the weight of a load, and to hear from within a wrapper of the deer skin, a low and plaintive wail. But when he unfolded the covering thoy saw the form of their favorite Opinnis and beside her an unweuned child, bearing evidence of its mother upon the countenance, the woman loudly wept and the old men wrung their hands, and together, with shroud ed face, they sat round that funeral pall, n- til morning light broke in upon their reveries. Then thoy built a pile near his lodge; wrap ed in the attire of the dead, they \uid her on it and around it they made her obsequics — But it was long e’re the memory of her vir- tues faded, and though with the recovery of his daughter's bedy, Wacousta appeared par- tially to have forgotton his woes, yet he was accustomed daily to repair to the shrino which encased her remains, long after they had vanished by decomposition, and bitterly wail over the fate which made the father the avenger of his daughter. The women nour- ished his grand-child with tenderness, and he grew upto be a sprightly boy and a daring chieftain. Wacousta was proud of his sue: cessor, and when, afier he had scen the leaf
imprint of footsteps; with that engerness which soon discovered that there was amon, them those of a woman, and inspired by the
bud for many a summer, his soul longed to view the Indians father,

Ata respectable meeting of the Demo- eratie citizens of Franklin county, Ulls., con- vened pursuant to public notice nt the court house in the town of Benton, on tho 20th of November, 1841, the meeting was called to order by the Hon. A.D. Dollins. Wheroup- on; the Hon. B, Parrish was enlled to the chair, and John Edgorloy appointed Secreta. ry. Mr, Parrish explained the object of the meeting ia a brief and lucid manner.
On motion of A.D. Dollins, that a com- mittee of three be appointed by the chair to draft rules expressive of the sense of this niceting.
Whereupon the chnir appointed Messrs. A.D. Dollins, Bonj. Smith, and Wilson A. Ren, who after withdrawing for a few utes returned the following resolutions, viz:
Resolved, ‘That in the recentacts of mod- ern whiggory in tho late extra session of Congress we manifestly see the finger marks of oneient Federalism too plainly depicted. The creation of a National debt and insatin- Ule thirst for a National bank, with innumer- able exclusive monopolies hns heon their manifest policy from their earliest political history. ‘The initiation and admission of such principles und powers as tho saltled policy of this Government has and over will
operate as a blighting mildew upon the pros- perity of the country, and ultimately a sub- version of our common liberties and free in~ titutions
Resolved, ‘Tat in the passage of the land
Uistribution bill, we see a manifest dispo tion by the whig majority in Congress to do the greatest injustice to the new States by depriving them of the benefit of the late cen+ sus, while wo depreeate such policy odiously unjust, Wringing from tho hands of the wes terh settler his hard earnings to be distriba- ted within the old States as bribes for partial and local objects, while we believe such policy in want for constitutional support.
it calmly went forth,
Resolved, That we most cordially approve of the policy of n State Convention to nom= innto candidates for Governor and Lieutens ant Govornor, a3 the only plan to produce harmony and concession in tho Democratic ranks and that wo will most heartily support the nominees.

Resolved, That wo have undiminished con= fence in the talents and integrity of A.W. Snyder, of St. Clair county, and recommend him to said Convention as a suitable candi- date for Governor, and further recommend our worthy friend and citizen, Braxton Pare rish, usa suitable candidate for Lieutenant Governor,
Resolved, That wo heartily disapprove of the unceasing baok suspensions, ns being exe tvemely unjust in principle, and long to seo the time when these institutions shall bo re- quired to conform to the just principles of equity, order and morality, and. believe that it devolves on the Democracy of this Union (0 require such submission to the laws and justice as early ns possible.
Mr. Mansfield offered the following resoy lutions, vi
Resolved, That we have the most implicit confidence in the doctrines taught by Wash- ington, Jeficr-on, Jackson, nnd Van Buren, and that we are more and more convinced of the designs of the opposers of those doctrines and principles as being hostile to our com- mon liberty.
Resolred, That we highly npprove of tho
joof che Inte United States Bank by John yler; which were unanimously: adopted.
Mr. Tuckeroffered the following resolu- tion, viz

December 3, 1841.
Since our last many distinguished gentle- men brave arrived at tho seat of Government: imong which are Judge Pors, of the District Court, Mr. Burrenriexp, U. S. District At ‘orney, and a large number of jurors from Jifferent parts of the State attending the U-
. Court, which -commenced its session on Monday last. Gen. Ewrne, Speaker of the Mouse, arrived on Monday last, and is at the American, Hop. S, BREESE, of the Supreme Court, arrived on Tuesday, and is at thehouse of Mr. Walters. Mr, R. Satu, Col, Hosp. peY, and Mr, CuicKeRtna, of Madison, ore atthe American. Dr. Berry, of Cairo, Mr. AnNowp and Mr. Davis, of Chicago, are also here, and put up al the American.
‘The reduced price of the State Re- sister... Proposals to extend itssub- scription.
We announced in our Jast that the sub- scription price of this paper is REDUCED to two dollars per annum, or one dollar for six yuonths, payable in advance. This reduction ig made in consequence of the hard times.— We have thus reduced the paper 33 per cent; wd unless we receive o corresponding in- crease {o our subscription list, we shall be considerably losers by the change. We ap- peal to our Democratic friends throughout the State to use their personal exertions in obtain ing subscribers.
In fixing the price of the Stute Register at $2 per annum, we have brought it down as low as any political newspaper, of the same size, published in the Union; while at the same time the expense to us of publishing the paper is 33 percent higher than it would be if printed in one of the eastern States. ‘The price of labor in the office, the price of paper, ink, and other materials, is higher in Illinois than in almost any other State in the Union. We mention these facts for the purpose of, demonstrating to our readers that the low price ($2) to which we have now reduced the paper, is in reality a lower price in Illinois, than the same sum isin most of the other
States. Two dollars for a pnper in Tlinois is
about equal to $1.33 cents for « similar paper
published in Philadelphia or New York.
The approaching contest....1ts im-
portance to a free people.
We hopo our Democratic friends all over the State will be active in extending the cir- culation of the Register. Twenty-five new subscribers in each county, would increase our list Two THOUSAND. Such an increase could not fail to advance the democratic cause. The approaching contest, which is to terminate in August next, is one on which much depends. A Governor and Lieutenant Governor are to be elected, to continue in of fice for four years, Members of the Legisla- ture are to be elected, on whom will devolve the choice of a United States Senator as well a5 the officers of State. It may be also that members of Congress under the new ecnsus, may yet have to be elected. ‘There is danger that the giant Democracy of Illinois may be cavght elumbering in the coming contest. Relying upon their strength, like Sampson, thecords of Federalism may bind their limbs before they are aware that the enemy is upon them.
Measures of the Federal party... Brief summary thereof, and brief examination of their character. The People of Illinois, asa constituent part
of the Union, are now suffering under the heavy burdens and tyrannical measures of a Federal-whig administration. A heavy na- tional debt has been fastened upon the coun~ try, and another still larger is threatened at the next session of Congress. The proceeds of the public domain have been squandered among the States, Illinois receiving but one~ third of her just share; that is, “in proportion to her federal representation in Congress,” (three members) instead of in proportion to her population. An increased tariff of duties hos been levied, by which the tax on salt, su- gar, molasses, &c. necessaries of life, have been raised 20 per cent—an amount of toxa- tion much larger, levied on the people of Iili- nois, than the State receives from the distri- bution law which we were told was to be measure of relief. The same Federal party also showed its willingness, at the last session of Congress, in the House of Representatives, to levy a tax on tea and coffee of 20 per cent: the tax baving actually passed that body by the votes of Federal members, but was defea {ed in the Senate by the firm and determined efforts of the democratic senators. A bank- rupt Jaw has also been passed by the same Federal party, to release from debt all that class of Fedetalism engaged in speculation in 1836-7 and 8, and (o enable another closs of the some party to wipe out the debts contrac- ted in 1840 in laying pipes, building log co- bins, attending parades, and furnishing all the costly trappings displayed during that year of humbug and delusion.
Present condition of the Country under Federal mismanagement. Federalism has been in power nearly a year,
‘and how stands the country? Nearly every
State filled with suspended Banks, whose cur-
rency is daily getting worse. Hardly mail
arrives, that does not bring us the news of a
Bank robbed by some of its own offices, or of
others broken down by mismanagement and
the corrupt conduct of their directors, The public mind has become so familiarized with
crime, that nothing short of wilful murder cau |__|
arrest the attention of the by-stander. Direc- tors and managers of banks appear now to think, that they cannot fulfil public expecta
tution over which they hold sway. The Fede- ral party are responsible for this state of public degradation, The spirit of speculation, and the grosping desire for MoNEY, MONEY, are the sources from whence have flowed the crimes of the age; and when, we ack, did a Bank apply to a Legislative body forthe priv- ilegeof refusing to pay her debts, that the whole of the Federal members in that body were not immediately found to bea standing capital of wh6se vores the Bank was sure, being already purchased, leaving on her hands only the task of buying up the remaining votes necessary to carry her demands into a law?
The Federal remedy for the evils
of the times examined.
Dut a remedy for all these evils and crimes, the Federal leaders tell us, will be found in a United States Bank! How absurd is such a declaration. Was the last U. S, Bank less corrupt or less reckless in its management, than the Stnte Banks are at the present day? Did not the Inte U. S, Bank purchase Webb & Noah of New York for $52,000, in order to haye the support of the newspaper which they conducted? Did not Mr. Biddle, the President of that Bank, expend hundreds of thousands of dollars in retaining lawyers and orators of tke greatest eminence, and in fat- tening newspaper editors with,heayy sums for the printing of their speeches in behalf of the Bank? Were there nut more than $200,- 000 loaned to members of Congress during the session the charter of the Bank was re~ netved, the same session it received its veto from the PATRIOT PRESIDENT, the incorrupt- ible Jackson? Did not the managors of the same Bank, after it was overthrown by Old Hickory as a National institution, suy a con~ tinued existence from the Pennsylvania Legis- Inture, by open bribery of some of ils mem- bers? The same stockholders, the same di- rectors, the same managers, the same capital, was continned by a State law, under the saME Name, “the United States Bank,” and we were then told by Mr. Biddle that it was “the same institution, only much stronger since its disconnection from the General Govern- ment.” WHERE Is THAT INSTITUTION Now? But six years hove rolled away since this boasted Regulator of the moneyed affairs of the country opened on what was procounced by its President a more useful career, and now we behold it broken to atoms—its immense capital plundered—its banking house occupied as a Clay-club-room—its notes sunk to 20 cents on the dollar—and numberless widows and orphans, the innocent owners of ils stock, {turned out upon the world, from a condition of competence ané comfort, to one of begea- ry and houseless want
‘And this is the institution, the likeness of which the Federal party passed through both Houses of Congress at ils late session—this is the institution which, since the veto, the Federal party tell us we must again renew, in order to restore confidence, reform the cur- reney, and arrest the march of crime! As well might we look for virtue in a pest-house— sobriety in a groggery—morality atthe gamb- Jing table—or religion in a club-room of infix
dels.
Fellow Democrats, throughout the State, it is upon you the responsibility rests of keep- ing Illinois free from the deadly embraces of Federalism. We ask you to aid us in extend- ing the circulation of the Register. Our whole time and abilities shall be devoted to the great cause of Democracy, which is that of equal rights, truth and justice to all men.
The Cumberland road.--An imme- diate appropriation therefor in- dispensable.
‘Another session of Congress should not be allowed to pass away without an ample ap- propriation for this national work. The nig- gardly sums which were penuriously and grudgingly appropriated some yearsago to this work have been stopped altogether for a year or (wo past; and we thiuk the time has come when western members should insist upon 6 more just disbursement of the public funds- At the last session of Congress no less than TWENTY-THREE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS Were voted, in various ways, into the National Trea sury; & how moch of this vast sum was appro priated to be expended in Illinois? Not a dolar. In fact the people of the Western States have, year after year, o Witness nearly the whole revenues of the Nation expended in the eas- tern States. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been thus expended, while the few thou- sands laid out in the West have been most grudgingly bestowed. After Congress as sembles under the new census, the western members may command what they now have to beg for. An equalization of the expendi~ tures of the Government in the different States is what the west must stand out for, Could not arms ond ammunition be as well manufac- tured in the West as in the East? Could not naval stores be furnished cheaper? Couid not even ships of war be built on the Missis- sippi and towed down to the Gulf? ‘The peo- ple of the west, while they pay the same taxes as those of nny other part of the Uni~ ted States, and their country isannually drain- ed by the payment of that tax, have hereto- fore had none of the revenues of the Govern= ment expended amongst them except the lit- tle that has been laid out on the Cumberland road, the small sum for the breakwater in the Mississippi, and tho salaries given toa few dandy Indian agents. [tis time this unjust sys- tem of legislation was arrested, and we want to see our members make the effort no We have been led to these remarks by reading the following in the last Vandalia Sentinel:
“Tue CumBertann Roap.—A_ public meting was held in this place a short time since, to urge upon Congress, through our Senators and Representatives, the importance of continuing and completing this great na- tional work at ss early a day as: practicable. We trust that the appeal now made for an act of justice to the West, will not pass unheeded by Congress. Whilst our citizens acquiesce with pleasure in the large appropriations an~ ually made for the improvement of rivers ond harbors in the East, and to foster the navy, they have a right (0 expect the Government to comply with its promises in regard to this measure. The belief that Government would net in good faith, has induced meritorious set- tlers to occupy the lands along the line of the road, which would otherwise have remained barren wastes, unproductive to the Govern-
ment for years. Sound policy as well ns good faith, should admonish members from the Enstero and Atlantic States, of the propriety
OLD HICKORY REVIVED. |
The subscribers propose to revive “OLD Hickory” on the Ist day of February next, tobe continned until the Ist Monday of Au- gust ensuing, at the low price of 50 cents for the whole term. A liberal deduction will be made to persons subscribing for ten, twenty, fifty, or more copies.
‘The “Old Hickory” proposed to be revived will be conducted on the same principles as the “Old Hickory” of 1840. Like its great namesake, its principles are unchangeable.— Iis object will be to sustain the great cause of Democnacy. We ask a reflecting People, now that reason and sober judgment have had time todo their work, whether the “Old Hick- ory” of 1840 was not as honest in its stote- ments as it was bold and fearless in making them? Were not the facts it developed unde ninble? Were not the principles it maintain ed, sound and pure? Have not the predictions it made, of the fruits of Federal supremacy, already come to pass, although but little more than one year hias rolled over our heads since they were made?
Who can forget the contest of 18407 Its imposing processions—its innumerable collec- tion of Jog cabins, flags, schooners, coon skins, catchpenny devices, and painted patch work? Who can forget the foul calumnies heaped up- on the head of that firm and incorruptible patriot, MARTIN VAN Buren, to blacken his name and put cown his administration? Who does not remember the PRoMIsESs Which the Federal leaders, from the highest to the low- est, made all over the Zcountry, of pETTER vines? “Let us have CHANGE, CHANGE,” said they, ‘and times will instantly grow bet~ ter,” or in the language of Mr. Clay himself, Inhis speech at Hanover, July, 1840, “Elect Gen. Harrison, AND CONFIDENCE WILL 1MME- DIATELY REVIVE, credit will be restored, ac~ tive business will return, and PRICES OF PRODUCTS WILL RISE, without refer- ence to the measures of his administra tion.”
‘This was the pledge, madeby the champion leaders, of the Federal party. How miser- ably has it been falsified, We know that his satellites plead that he is relieved from the pledge becouse his bank did not become a Jaw; but this does not relieve him. The pledge was, that prices were to rise ‘avithout refer- ence to the measures of the administra- tion.’ But does any rational man believe, for ‘a moment, that even If Mr. Clay’s bank had become a law, it would have raised the price of produce? No reflecting man believes such a monstrous absurdity. Was produce high in 1820, "21, and 122, when the Inte U. S. Bank was In full blast? No, it wasnot. Pork was down to $1,00 per hundred, to which low price it bids fair to fall again under this whig administration, instead of rising in yalue as federalism promised.
But the limits of this prospectus do not per- mit us to dwell either upon the promises of Federalism, or upon its measures since it has risen (o power. Enough, that it has created a National debt of twelve millions, and has promised to swell it sixteen millions more— enough, that it hns distributed the money of the public treasury among the States, and tax- ed the people to double the amount thus with- drawn to make good the deficiency. Enough, that it has proscribed honest men from office, contrary to its pledges, and put in their places pipe-layers, ruffians, and loafers—enough, that it showed ils willingness to fasten on the coun- try the most corrupt, unsafe, and despotic U- S. Bank charter ever presented to an Ameri- can Congress. Enough, that it has already largely increased the annual expenditures of the General Government, although its pledge was that it would greatly dimish them People of Ininois, it will be the great object of “Old Hickory” to expose these enormities ‘of the Fedaral party, and to hold up the plsin and simple truth of Democracy.

County Meetings. Having received the proceedings of several county meetings at a late hour, we have only room to give a summary notice of them.
STEPHENSON CouNTY.—A meeting of the democrats was held at the court house, in Freeport, on Saturday 20th ult,—Mr. Wim. Preston, presiding and Mr. G. Purington ac- ting as secretary. Mr. G. Purington and Dr. ‘Thomas Vanvalzah, were unanimously. ap- pointed delegates to the State Convention. Boon Couxty.—A mass meeting of the democratic party of this county was held on the 20th ult. at Belvidere. Mr. Cyril P.

Simple Sim, in his last paper, has the fol-
lowing sentence: “The State Register still insists that the Canal shall be made a political question.”
It is just as impossible for Sim to putout a single number of the Journal. without having at least one unqualified lie init, as it is for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, as the good book says. a
JES Destructive Guns—In the last war it is stated that we had more men killed on the lnkes by the bursting of our own guns than by the shot of the enemy!—through defects in
Nion, unless they join in plundering the insti-
of paying some attention to the wants of the West.”

The State stock in the Bank.--Was it sold, and for how much?
A friend has suggested to us that our par- agraph of Inst week concerning the Bank bonds, is calculated to mislead the public as lo the ownership of those bonds, Our readers are doubtless aware that the Bank bonds are owned by the State Bank ond not by the State of Ilinois.

“The State Bank and the Ranke of Ilinois having accepted the proposition of the Legis~ Jture for on increase of their capitals, the amount directed to he invested in the stock of those institutions was subscribed and paid to the State Bank for the two thousand three hundred and fifty-six shares, (wo hundred and thirty-five thousand six hundred dollars; and on account of the subscription to the Bank of Illinois one hundred thousand dollars. Soon after the adjournment of the special session of the Legislature [of 1837] the Commissioners proceeded to New York for the purpose of effecting a lean for the payment of the re- mainder of the subscription of the State to the Banks, as well a for means for the prose- cution of the several works of internal im- provement. After advertising in several of the newspapers of that city that bids would be received for loans for both of these pur- poses, they were much disappointed on the arrival of the day: fixed for opening the bids to find that po offers were made, ‘They had hoped that, nowwithstanding other States had failed to procure means for similar purposes, our State might find more favor with capital- ists, No disposition being manifested by them to take our bonds, au amount sufficient to pay the balance due and to become due to the Banks was offered to those institutions at par, viz: to the State Bank one thousand sev- cn hundred and sixty-five bonds of S1000 each [$1,765,000] and to the Bank of Illinois nine hundred bonds of the same denomina~ tion [$900,000.] Tuts OFFER As BEEN Ac- CEPTED BY DOTH BANKS.”—Ste Senate Documents of 1838-9.
Extract from the report of Thomas Math- erand M. M. Rawlings, Fund Commis- sioners, dated March 5, 1838.
“The balance due on the subscription of stock to the State Bank and Bank of Ilinois has been paid in bonds agreeably to the con~ tract heretofore reported. ‘The amount_ of stock now owned by the State in the first named institotion js two millions one hundred thousand dollars, and in the latter one mil- lion.’ —Sce same Documents.
‘The contract with the Banks, mentioned in the above report, was made in the latter part of 1837, and the bonds actually paid over at that time Co the Banks by the Fund Commis- sioners. What did the Banks do with these bonds? It was obviously their policy to sell them at once, for they could then be disposed of at par without difficulty, and the proceeds of the sale would at once place an actual cap- ital in the vaults of both banks, and thus en- able them to extend their business as was con- templated by the Legislature. By examining the statements of the Banks, afterwards made to the Legislature, we can readily see how long either Bank hicld on to the bonds. In the statement of the condition of the Bank of Illinois at Shawneetown made on the Ist day of December, 1839, is the following item among her means:
“llinois Bank and internal im~
provement stock, ‘$500,000.
From this itis evident that the Bank of Tlli-
nois had sold &500,000 of her bonds on the
Ist of December, 1838. In the statement of
the condition of the same bank dated 30th
November 1889, is the following:
(Qilinois internal improvement
bonds, $80,000.”
Tt thus appears that the Bank of Illinois had sold all ber bonds at par more than two years before, and then owned but $80,000 in bonds of any sort.
Let us now examine the official statements of the State Bank, in order tosee what beeome of her bonds. We extract from the Answers of Mr. Ripoxey, on behalf of the Bank, to the investigating committee of both Houses, Jon. 1840;
“Interrogatory 12, Give the committee a general statement of the condition of the Bank and each of its branches, every quarter since the commencement of its operations, until (the date of the forfeiture of the charter?”

Mr. Ridgley also states in the document from which the above is extracted, in answer tointerrogatory 20, that the amount of Bonk and Internal Improvement stock owned by the Bank was $1,765,000, and of Illinois and Michigan canal bonds $699,750, which togeth- er make the amount of State bonds owned by the Bank in December, 1839, $2,464,750.
On the 42d page of the same report the President aud Cashier of the State Bank, in reply to an inquiry put by the committee, says:
“In reply to these inquires, we state, that of the subscription of $2,100,000 of the stock of the Bank owned by the State the sum of| $335,000 was paid into the Bank in cash, and State stock tothe amount of $1,765,000 was created to be sold to provide the means of paying in that amount, From the report of the Fund Commissioners on the subject, it ap- pears that they took all of the usual means to effect the sale of this stock but without suc- cess; and that they afterwards offered it to the Bank at par in payment of the State subscrip- tion as above. This offer was accepted by the Bank under the hope that the stock mar- ket would speedily improve, and the stock could be disposed of. It has consTANTLY been held for sale evER since BY THE AGENTS FOR THE BANK IN N. YORK, who report that there never bas been a time at which anyfconsiderable portion could have been sold at par for cash.”

Resumption.
‘The Baltimore American, a whig paper, intimates thata strenuous effort will be made by the democratic party of Maryland to effect a resumption of specie payments at the ap- proaching session of the Legislature, and that the whigs will remain pretty much passive in the matter. =
‘The American declares that all parties are in favor of resumption, and then goes on, like a true whig, to argue with might and main in opposition to it. Itis in favor of resumption —sometime between now and never, but not now.
Every tyrant is in favor of liberty, and ev= ery rogue of honesty, when the right time| comes, bit present circumstances always re~ quire a departure from their fixed pritciples. So it ig with many of the opponents of the de- mocratic party in regard (o resumption. They are always in favor of specie payments upon principle,and generally opposed to them on the score of present expediency.
The tendency of the Age.
The progress of correct principles, within a few years past, is really astovishing. The doctrines which were formerly repudiated a3 “agrarian,” “destructive,” “Loco Foco” and| “disorganizing,” are now urged with bold- ness by those who were most lavish of their abuse. Even the New York Commercial Advertiser yields to the force of truth. That paper in an article on tariffs, &e, recently used the following language:
“We hope that a day will come, and that we shall live to see it, when free trade shall be the policy of every nation; when there shall be no Custom-Houses, Ao restrictions, no prohibitions, no duties even for revenue. When the prejudices of the people inthis country against direct taxation—the fairest, the simplest; the most republican method of raising reventie—shall have pussed away; aod when commerce all over the world, shall be regulated, not by what Governments, ot legis: Jators, or combined interests, conceive to be the policy of a nation, but what every indi- vidual man engaged in commerce shall know, by his own experience, to te that policy.”

Most Extraordinary case of Bigamy.— The Milton (N. C.) Chronicle of the 13th inst. gives the particulars of a very remarkable case of bigamy, perpetrated by a villian in that section of the country. It appears that three years ago, a person named Edward C. Boling, (son of the Rev. Mr. Boling, of the Methodist Church, in Milton,) married an es- timable young Jady there and lived with her two years. A twelve month ago, he left home for-the purpose of studying law in Greensbo- rough. On his arrival in that place he repre sented himself as Sidney 'T. Smith, of Ala- bama, and exbibited certificates from influen- tial geotlemen, stating that he was the son of a wealthy planter in the north part of the State. By this means he obtained large ered- its, which he promised to pay os soom as he could receive remittances from his father. He subsequently ingratiated himself with an ac- complished lady named Miss B—, of Guil- ford county, the daughter of a gentleman of respectability and property. “After the nup- tials, he stated his disappointment at not re- ceiving his expected remittances, and Induced his father-in-law to endorse the payment of a bond of $3,700 for the purchase of tract of land from a Mr. Boling, his other self—who, he stated, lived twenty miles distance. Smith pretended to visit this Boling, and returned with the story that the latter had defrauded him of his money. During one of his visits he staid eo long that his wife, Mrs. Smith, grew uneasy, and proceeded in quest of him to the houge of the Rev. Mr. Boling. No per- son of the name of Smith was koown to the family, but while there Mrs. Smith became acquainted with Mrs. Boling, whose husband was also absent, The two ladies remained together several days, ond mutually expressed anxiety for the return of their husbands, nev~ er dreaming that they were the wives of one and the samme man{ Mrs Smith finally rev turned home without hearing from her hus- band. Smith arrived soon after her return; told a smooth tale relative to his absence, ond still complained of his treatinent from Boling. The father of Smith in the meantime grew exasperated with the alleged conduct of Bo- ling, and proceeded to get redress from him by law. Accordingly a writ of orrest was Is sued, charging him with swindling Sidney T. Smith. In the interim, this double persoa attempted to get away, by stating that he was going into Southampton county to collect money due him; on his way thither, he stop- ped at Yauceville, owing 10 the Jameness of his horse, where he wos arrested as Boling, by Col. Lea, the deputy sheriff. When the fath- er-in-law came into court to appear against the prisoner, he exclaimed, “My God! thal’s the man who married my daughter.” |

Wurexas, Afier the reverses of the last year, it isn subject of heartfelt rejoicing 10 every true democrat, to witness the great and decided revolution which is taking place throughout the Union in favor of sound prin ciples. Our ears are grected with good news from the North and South, from the East and the West, giving ample demonstration that the “sober second thought of the people” will lead them back, and in good senson, to their true friends and their best ynterests, however widely they may, have been led astray by false hopes, or idle fears. Now York, the empire State, and good old Penne sylvania, the key-stone of the Union, have returned to their first love with stronger faith than ever. Nor have they come alone, but hand in hand with half their sister States. ‘The good work has sped from Maine to Geor- gia, from the shores of the Chesapeake to the great channel of the “Father of waters.” It continues to spread, and gather strength in its progress.

AWFUL CONFLAGRATION AT THE TOW-
ER OF LONDON. Avevent which will be long remembered in he annals of English history,and which may
be regarded in every respect nga truly na-
ional calamity, occurred on Sunday night,
Oct. 30, in the entire destruction, together
with its contents, of that magnificent build- ing forming so prominent a feature in tho
far-famod Tower of London, denominated Wo will not, however, dwell ugon this| The Grand Store-nouse and Armory,” con- taining, in addition to an almost innumerable quantity of trophies and other evidences of British ‘glory, no less a number than 300,000
land of arms, &c. besides a vast quantity of
military carriages, bombs, and other spoils of war captured in various parts of the world.
The flames having once penetrated this hall,
no hope existed that any portion of it would be saved, and the exertions of the firemen
are held up by any set of men, although in| were confined to the preservation of the sur-
the name of the whole people; but it will probably be found on reflection, that when
rounding buildings, upon which'they played with all the water they could obtain.
At
no individual is so prominent as to command] this crisis the greatest apprehensions were
an universal preference, the plan of non ating through a convention, where the di ent sections of a State or a district are fair! represented, will be as likely to insure good talents and fitness for the public service as any other, whilst it prevents much confaston whichis apt to arise, when individuals start in different quarters on their own respon- siaility, and scour the country in quest of yotes, whether suited or not for the office they are seeking to fill. With this view of the subject, it is therefore, : : Resolved, As the sense of this meeting, that the democratic piled of this county hould be represented in the convention pro- arail to bo old on the 2d Monday of De- cember next at Springfield, to nominate can- didates for the offices of Governor and lieu- tenant Governor of this State. Resolved, That the embarrassed situation to which this State hns been reduced in ber finances, his been brought upon us by indi creet management, on the part of our pul agents, and that especial vigilance is req in the fature choice of such agents, not only to guard against future disaster, but that every mensure may be taken which a suita- ble regard to the honor and interest of the people will allow, to shield us from the con-
1n-| entertained for the sufoty of the crown jew- els deposited in the regalia office, which closely adjoins the eastern extremity of the Grand Armoury, and the yeoman of the guard, under the direction of their captain,
were deputed to undertake the removal.—
This service was safely performed, without accident and tho whole of the valuables, in- cluding the beautiful model of the White Tower, were consigned to the care of the governor and placed in the vaults boneath
his residence.
‘The heat from the burning pile had now become so excessive that the firemen could no longer act in the centre square, and it was quile impossible to attempt to save any
portion of the arms, &c. contained in the grand storchouse.
Inteness of the hour, the alarm soon spread through the metropolis, and Tower-hill and
Notwithstanding the
its immediate neighborhood were densely thronged, At this period of the conflagra- tion the atmosphere was illumined in an ex- traordinary degree, and the fire might have
been seen at many milesdistance, while the reflection of the surrounding houses and on the shipping in the river, produced a most striking effect.
About one o'clock the appearance of the
sequence of past abuses. burning mass wassurpassingly grand. Tho
Resolved; That Thomas Stout, William S Wait, John Buchanan, Cornelius Lansing, Richard Bentley, James McGuhey, Samuel Huovter, Jr., Sloss McAdams, and Robert F. White, are hereby appointed delezates to attend soid convention, and assist in the nomination of candidates for Governor and Lieutenat Governor, with power to fill va- cancies in their own number, and if neccssa-

flames having at that time extended to nearly the whole length of thearmory, shortly after
the roofs, being completely burned through,
fell in with n tremendous crash, the flames ha lurid glare farabove the towers
The fire was not subdued, however, until
near 5 o'clock, and the mass of ruins was burning fiercely throughout the day.
Many rumors are in circulation as to the supposed
igin of the fre; but nothing is known at present on which confidence can be placed.— Over-heated flues are stated to have caused
the disaster, by some: while others attribute it to the act of an incendivry. An inquiry
will be, no doubt set on foot by the Govern-
ment.
The Grand Armoury is one of the most
modern portions of the citadel, and was built
in the year 1688 by William and Mary. [tis
now totally destroyed, and presents a melan- choly contrast to its former grandeur.
Tt would be utterly impossible to estimate
with any thing approaching to exactness the, extent of loss the couutry will suffer by this disastrous event, to say nothing of the nation- al trophies which it is impracticable to re- store; but there can be no doubt that the dam- age sustained by the building, together with the arms destroyed, cannot be replaced for less than one million sterling. FURTHER PARTICULARS.
About eleven o’clock on the night of the 80th, the eastern part of the metropolis was thrown into utter consternation by a dreadful fire breaking out tn the ancient tower of Lon- don. It is said to have originated in the house of the Paymaster Sergeant.
From tho London Morning Hernlil,
Throughout the whole of yesterday the same species of excitement which has. pre- vailed in the vicinity of the Tower of London since the lamentable catastrophe of Saturday night, continued without the slightest abate~ ment.
During the night of Monday, the Gre still raged with unabated fury within the walls of | the Armory, and several times the engines were called into requisition, and threw power- ful streams upon it. Throughout the entire of yesterday morning it kept bursting forth atintervals to such an alarming extent, that large bodies of troops were called out to re~ lieve each other in working the engines, a la- Bok in which they were occupied the whole
ay.
Shortly after 11 o'clock, Colonel Peel, the Surveyor General, and other members of the Board of Ordoauce, arrived at the Tower, and at 12 o'clock an investigation was opened by the Board in the Ordinance Office, on the south side of the White Tower, and several of the workmen, employed on Saturday last in and about the Armory and Bowyer Tower, where the fire first originated, under- Went examination, but on (he application of the raporter for admission to the inquiry, or for permission (o make extracts from the de- positions he received from Colonel Peel an answer that the investigation going on was strictly a private one, and that he could not allow copies of the depositions to be taken.— The Board broke up shortly before 4 o'clock and in company with Colonel Aden they paid a visit to the ruins of the Jewel office, &c.
About one o'clock, Lord Hill, the Coms mander-in-chief, with Sir Barkeley Drum- mond, and several other noblemen and gentle- men, as also the Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, &c, arrived. After viewing the ruins the noble lord had an interview with Major Birington, and shortly after a company of the Royal Ar- tillery were turned out actively engaged in conveying barrels of gunpowder which had been removed from the store underneath the White Tower, to a place more remote from the building, on Saturday night during the raging of the flames. The removal of the powder was deemed indispensable from the extreme danger at one period on Saturday night of the flames reaching the White Tow- er. On Major Elrington being informed of this, he gavedirections to Lieut. McBean, who commanded the detachment of Royal Artille- ry, to convey the powder to the waterside magazine, situate under the battery facing the Thames. | This was effected with great care, and with no little dificulty, damp. blankets being thrown over the barrels in order to se- cure them from the burning embers flying about in all directions. 400 barrels of pow- der, and 200 boxes of grenades and all car- tridges were thus in the first place removed to the Magazine, but as it would not contain the whole, a large quantity was for safely thrown over the battlements into the moat. During the night of Saturday and the morning of Sunday, the provisions of the Now Police Act, with regard to public hou- ses, were entirely set nt defiance. Indeed the doors of many public houses in the im- mediate neighborhood of Tower-hill wore broken open by the populace, who in many instances obtained liquor almost by force.
‘The government authorities be ena- bled to ascertain the whole amuunt of prop- ty with the utmost accuracy, About three weeks since an order was received by the authorities in the Tower from the Board of Ordinance, to take stock. ‘This ordor was at once complied with, and the task was com- pleted shortly before five o’clock on Saturday afternoon, but five hours before the com- mencement of the fire. ‘The result has been placed in the hands of the Board, and will no doubt greatly facilitate the investigation with which they are proceeeding.
One of those curious coincidents which occasionally occur, although in themselves unimportant, is, that the pass word used on tho night of the fire was the same as that of| Moscow—and for some hours the fearful scene which took pluce 1a the capital of Rus- sia had every appearance of being realized in London, for it appears that there were 400 boxes of gunpowder in the Magazine attached tothe White ‘Tower, and had this part unfortunately caught it would have boen one of the most calamitous events that had occurred in the history of our country.
Upwards of 100 officers and constables of | the City Police force were actively engaged during the fire at the Tower, and we regret to hear that the surgeon reports six of them as incapable of performing duty. Serjeant Patterson dislocated his wrist, two constables were injured in their eyes, and tho othor three were suffering from very serious colds.
THEYELECTION OF O’CONNELL AS LORD MAYOR OF DUBLIN—HIS ADDRESS, &o
Mr, O'Connell said, that if he was elected, no man should know what his polities were in his capacity as Lord Mayor, but in his private capacity he was and would continue to be a Repealer, being of opinion that a re- peal of the union would be the most benefi- cial mensure that eould be passed for this city and this country at large. Notwith- stunding this if elected, his conduct should be pune by the strictest impartiality to- wards men of all shndes of polital opinion. The Chair then put the question with reference to Mr. O’Connell, anda large ina- jority appeared in his favor. Ho was tho declared duly elected. After making the declaration provided by the state, Alderman O'Connell ascended the chair as
LORD MAYOR OF DUBLIN amid great and prolonged cheering. EXTENSIVE FRAUD ON GOVERNMENT.
A most extensive fraudulent issue of forg- ed Exchequer Bills, to a very large amount, recently discovered, hus created a very grent sensation in the public mind, and occupied the attention of the monied and commercial world. ‘Tho party impeached is Mr. J. E. Bowman Smith, son of a clergyman, and nephew of the celebrated Sir Sidney Smith+ The guilty party held the responsible office of chief clerk in the Comptroller General's office. ‘The amount is supposed to be not less than a quarter of a million. The bills are said to have been legally signed by Lord Montengle, but that his Lordship's signature was surreptitously obtained. I[t is further said that the signing of these bills were de- puted to the chief clerks. It was not known whether the Government would pay the amount or whether the loss would fallon the innocent holders. Mr, Smith was in receipt of asalary of £600 sterling a yenr.
There had been great floods in Lincolnshire, the Witham having overflowed its banks to

Human avarice and ambition, are like fabled waters or Arethusa: suppress them in one place, they spring up with renewed force in another. ‘Tho spirit of monopoly, manifested in banks and tariffs may have been put down, but it still lives in the hearts of men. When the occasion recurs, it will show itself with as much virulence and pow- er,as at any previous time. A temporary defeat does not conquer this disposition to in= Justice and exclusiveness; for it, like the im- mortal essence of Milton’s angels

It must be eradicated, not merely from prevailing institutions and Inws, if we may use the expression, but from tho protentialities of government, before it can be said to huve been killed. So long as moral sentiment of society ndmits the rightof partial legislation, there will be found a’ class ready and <oli- cilious touso it. ‘Theres an unwillingness on the part of many, to recognize the full and equal rights of others, which will exhib- it itself whon it is allowed the opportunity. Nothing but the strict establishment of social’
laws and arrangements upon the basis of por- -
fect justice, can arrest it workings, or ob- viate its effects.
We find in this fact, the secret of party divisions nnd party progress. . Men of the nore liberal way of thinking, will strive per- petually (o bring the relations of society into closer accordance with the abstract demands of justice. The attempt begets a conflict with those whoso feelings or interests lead them to desire the conservation of the exist- ing order of things, A ficrce struggle en~ sues, until the preponderance of argument remiins with the advocates of a larger freo- dom. Their opponentsare forced to confess, either tacitly or openly, tho new established truth, and an apparent unanimity of all sides, then takes placo, But it is only apparent.— The same motives which prompted the champions of the liberal faith to take the first step in advance, will prompt them to take the second, while their enemies will bo left to occupy the ground they have just vacated. ‘Thus, the positive position of parties is con stantly altering, but the relative position re- mains the same. ‘The story of one age, be- comes the whig of the next; the whig moves onward to still higher truth; and this series of advances constitutes the progress of the human raco, At bottom, thy characteristics of each party aro ever the samo, although each is incessantly shifting its ground. “In all stages of society,” says an English writer, “there have been two sets of men: those who were before the age, and thoso who were be- hind it; these who were the wisest among their cotemporaries, and those who gloried in being no wiser than their grand-futhers”
Let the people look to it!—Great Britain is warning to tho world of the consequences of tho “credit system,” involving at once a pub- Ne debt and paper a money. In both res pects she exceeds all other nations of Europe. Uer public debt is beyond the possibility or hope of redemption; and untilit shall be wiped off by some bloody revolution, her people must endure a burden which is a curse and ® blight to honest industry. Her poor must continue so, until they seal the emancipation in the blood of x public creditor. Her papor money is of a lower denomination than that of avy other country, except the United States. Hence she has beon subject to fre- quent revulsions in trade, to long und ropen- ted suspensions of specio payments, and hns been saved from utter ruin only by the vast quantities of actual wealth which her pillag~ ing bos brought from the East Indies. In Frauce it is otherwise.—Ga. Tel.

Mr. Van Buren at Home.—Columbia county, the native county and present resi- dence of Mr. Van Buren, has given more than double the democratic majority which it ever gave before. Gov. Seward’s county, Cayuga, which used to be whig has given about 300 majority for the democrats.
The whig papers generally account for the great falling off in the votes of their party atthe recent clections, by saying that the whigs did not turn out; while the Opposition came out in nearly their full strength. There is still a further point which requires expla- nation, viz; why did notthe Whigs turn out? Is it because they had too much confidence in their own strength or because they were indifferent as to the result? And if the lat- ter, what has made them indifferont? These
are questions which we should like to see an- swered,—Journal of Commerce.

POISONING OF GEN. HARRISON,
The Cincinnati Republican, on the authority of the Committee that removed the remains of Gen. Harrison from Washington to North Bend, contradicts in the most emphatic man- ner the idje tale which was set afloat by the New England Review, that Gen. Harrison’s death was caused by poison. The Republi- can states that the glass case, in which the remains were temporily deposited, was not broken, neither was the head swelled, a3 set forth in the “revolting suspicion” alluded to,
A vote to be remembered.—In the House of Representatives, on the 31st of July last, 116 members ALL WHIGS, voted to imposo a duty on SALT, MOLASSES, SUGAR, TEA and COPFEE.

This duty was to supply the deficiency in the Treasury, occasioned by the Distribution Bill, which abstracts frow the Treasury annually, and that cau be re- lied upon as certain revenue to the Govern- ment, and applies it to the purpose of udvanc- ing the value of State bonds in the hands of British Bankers.-—New Era.

Important Invention—Centrifugal Gun.— AL the late fair in New York city, an inven- tion called’ tho centrifugal gun, attracted much notice. The Express suggests that onthe the simple principle of the common sling, a machine constructed according to the design of the inventor, will, by hand or other power adopted to the weight of the shot, throw with destructive effect 9 vast number of shot, in a minute.
A fow engines of that description,. propel- led by steam, in floating batteries of a suita- ble form, would protect our harbors and rivers against the combined fleets of Europe; and on Janda hundred men ina fort or in the field, could by hand power defend thems selves when opposed by as many thousands.
