Responsibilities of American

Youth. BY MleS LEDLIF, OF T1-LINOIS«

Time in his rovolutions, for the last three centuries has wrought a mighty change in the character of nations. During this period some have risen from the darkest shades of darkness and ranked high among the nations of the earth, Others having arrived at the summit of power and distinction have by luxury and dissipation been gradually de~ clining in the scale of earthly eminence. While some in pence and tranquility have been moving with celerity in the path of im provement, and rapidly advancirg towards distinction and renown—others have been deluged with blood, and tossed by_ internal commotions or foreign wars. — While in some countries Linerry hus been oppressed ‘and weighed down by the united powers of despotism and bigotry—others have been in the enjoyment of civil and religious freedom.

Who can look upon the changes wrought upon our country during this period with other emotions, than those of reverence und and gratitude. Whocan view tho contrast but with wonder and amazement, and with- out feeling that on him rests great and im- portant responsibilities? ‘The prosperity and brilliant prospects of our country for the last twelve years, resemblo these of no other country on the globe, and are without a par- allel in past history.

Cast your eye back to the beginning of time—take a retrospective view of the dif- ferent nations which have existed in the world, and where in the longcatalogue,do you find one in its circumstances, condition & an- ticipations, so distinguished, so peculiar? Search the pages of history ancient or modern and where in the listof republics do you find one, in its rank and attainments equal to our own? ‘Though her prospects were ever du- bious, and her brightest hopes clouded with doubt and uncertainty, yet under the care, guidance, and united efforts of her valiant and patriotic sons she has surmounted every obstacle—cast off her wrongful allegiance to the mother country—burst the chains which bound her to servitude and slavish depen- dence, and clad herself in the garb of inde- pendence and freedom.

Since that period the sun of enlightened libs erty hasshone with a brilliant effudgence; our vastextent of fertile territory, opening an in- exhaustable field for successful enterprise— our magnificient system of confederated re- publics, carrying out and diffusing the prin- ciples of democracy—the unrestrained free~ dom of speech, and of the press—these with many other peculiarities, in the moral, s0~ cial, and political conduct of the Ameri- can people have given to our society a char- acter entirely its own, peculiar and unexam- pled. Hence when we reflect upon her past history; the valiant, strenous, and suc- cessful exertions of her venerable patriots and sons to procure her independence, and tosecure for her,an honorable rank among the nations of the earth, we see that every thing in the condition and prospects of our country, upites (o render the responsibilities of those to whose trust she will hereafter be committed, weighty and immense.

Lhe time is now at hand, when those who now figure on the stage of action will have passed away, and those now in their youth- ful days will be called upon to preside over the destinies of this nation, and to administer the offices of this government.

Would they hope to supply the places of those who may have preceded them, and to be able to guide the vessel of our republic safely through the storms and tempests which might assail her.

This should be among the highest objects of their care, and should tend to excite a spirit of honorable enterprise and laudable ambition. Who of them retaining in his veins one drop of the patriotic blood of his fathers, can Jong remain listless, inactive and unconscious of the claims of patriotism and his country? Her destiny is in their hands, her interest and future safety depend much onthe manner in which they discharge the duties devolving on them, and upon their es~ timation of her libert institutions, and dearest rights, in whose defence yast num- bers of her bravest sons, have freely and fearlessly poured out their “life’s blood” cn the sacred altar of freedom. How impor- tant.then that the “golden age” of youth should not pass unimproved, and that we early cultivate an interest in the welfare and prosperity of our republic. This is a period when our misdeeds can no longer be looked upon as the thoughtless vagaries of childhood, and os such excusable, but as a presage of what we shall be in life. Weare then supposed to be guarded by reason, and our actions ure narrowly watched, our mo- tives scrutinized buth by friends and enemies ‘and our dispositions are declared to the world. If we then acquire a good reputation it will long be remembered toour honor, if'a badone, to our disadvantage and disgrace. But how do theadvantages for acquiring excellence, enjoyed by youth of the present day com: pare with those which our fathers enjoyed. We look up to them as having attained an almost inaccessible height, but if we consid~ er, we shall see that their advantages for im- provement were far inferior to our own, and that they reached their lofty stations rather by their own perseverance and patient effort, than by any natural superiority over the yest of mankind or by nurnerous advantages. Would we rightly appreciate their virtues? Would we honor and revere their characters, and desire toreach the stations which they have filled with so much honor to themselves and country. Would welike them, secure the lasting gratifude and esteem of our fellow men. Then let us strive to imitate their most worthy examples—to copy their virfues and aim to equal them, but should we fail, let it not Le owing to ourown indolence and neglect. On conditions of constant vigi~ lence, they have left us in possession of ad» yantages and blessings peculiar to our own pation, and enjoyed by the youth of no other. These, by every honorable and just motive we are called upon to improve and preserve Our country for her own future welfare de mands it. Our parents and friends demanv and expect it. ‘The oppressed and ignoran of all countries imploringly and earnestly de

mand us their last and only hopa, Our he roig fathers who so nobly fought to obtai,

our blessings, about to leave tnem forever, loitering on the brink of the grave, cast back a wistful look with the dying injunction on their lips: Let not our toils ard achieve~ ments in that “dark hour’? be for naught. They behold inthe character of the rising generation the only hopo of our country. Who will deny that these high privileges and noble advantages impose on their pos- sessors duties weighty and immense. For their improvement and support the youth of America ae held Taeronst oe to the best in- terests and future welfare of their country. Her future character and happiness are now in their hands and are to be realized by their labors, their duties and their benevolent action, Let them bear in mind that though her condition, was but vesterday prosperous and happy and her prospects for the futuro brilliant and encouraging, yet the sunshine of yesterday hasbeen obscured by the clouds of to-day and that ere long sho may be as- sailed by the stormsand tempests of adversi- ty; and unless her conductors, be faithful and eflicient. she will be dashed on the rock oflas- tingoblivion, Other nations equally prospor- ous and happy have shared such a fate. ‘The republics of Greece and Rome once stood onan eminence which overloeked all sur~ rounding nations. Fora time they flourish- edin splendor but, alas they have fallen; and now present to the eye of the traveller a heap of crumbling ruins—the wreck of for- mer granduer.

But we cannot believe that such is the. destiny of our infant republic. She has led tho van in the march of nations; her pro- gress is still “onward and upward,” and she will continue to riso, until her young men become indifferent to her welfare and re- gardless of her interests, Let them go on- ward, then, to their exalted duties; neither

shrink from the dangers or surrender to the temptations that await them.

May they be ever mindful of their coun- try’s interests—ever be ready to engage in her righteous cause. May they never be forgetfial of the responsibil they are un- der to themselves, their fellow men and their country, and ever strive to sustain and ele vate the numerous and exalied privileges of the American youth.

For the Register. Sprincriecp, Dec. 3d, 1841.

Messrs. Evrrors:—Permit me through the columns of the State Register to suggest to our next Legislature, the repeal of the law paying a bounty on wolf scalps out of the Stute Treasury, generally known as the “Wolf Law.”

In the first place the bounty is a continual drain from the State Treasury, and the a- mount paid out increases three fold every year. From the passage of this law up to the special session of 1837, there was paid out as shown by the report of the Auditor

the sum of $13 00, From the Ist July to Ist Decom-

ber 1838, 390 00 From the lot Dev-1000, to. let

Dec. 1839, 709 00 From the Ist of Dec. 1939, (o Ist .

Dec. 1840, 2,576 00 ‘Ard from the Ist of Dee. 1840 to

the IstDec. 141, as taken from

the books of the Auditor, 7,049 50 An increase at the same ratio for

the next year would be about 28,000 00

The namber of wolves seems to increase

from year to year. The above statement shows an annual increase in the amount paid out from year {o year, and unless the wolves increased at the same ratio, why is it that thesum paid out for the last year excceds that of the year before nearly four dollars to one. ” {In the second place the Inw should be re~ penled because it operates unequally in dif- ferent sections of the State, and if there are no other reasons this alone Would be a sufli- cient one to my mind. It is anti-democra- tic in its operations in the several counties in theState. It isa notorious fact and can- not be denied that the Collector’s of sever: counties in this State have paid the whole revenue due from them to the State for the tax of 1840, in wolf scalps, and some of them have not only paid the revenue in in wolf scalps but have taken large sums of tnoney home with them, which they obtain- ed from the bounty on wolf scalps; sent by them to draw the money on. Wolf scalp certificates are a kind of circulating medium in these counties—they pass from band to hand the same as bank bi No one will pretend to say that the Legislature ever in- tended these certificates toform a circula- (ing medium. ‘That they do to some extent, cannot be denied. Instead of these counties paying a revenue to the State, the State pays a revenue to them. If all the counties in State were thus comfortably situnted our State would really presenta beautiful aspect, and there would be no lover of his country who would not go all lengths to repeal the law. Why not place all tho counties in the State upon the same footing? There are counties in this State which never have been paid a single dollar for the bounty on wolf scalps, and there are others that have been paid, 3 I have before stated, more than the whole state revenue due from them. Is this right? Is-it just? ‘The State paying a reyenue to the counties, instend of the coun- ties paying a revenue to the State, can only be compared to the General Government giving away her revenue to the States.

Icall upon all those who are in fayor of sustaining the credit of the State, all those who are opposed to repudiating our State debt, toaid in repealing all laws appropriating money uselessly, more particularly in this case Where the operations of the law are so unequal, and foster the resources of the State. Think fora moment that the sum alrendy paid out for tho bounty on wolf scalps, sinice the first of Decemter, 1840, is sufficient to pay the interest on one hundred and fiftcen thousand dollars of the State debt.

Aficr the house was called to or- der, and the objects of the meeting ex- plained by W. Kitchell, Esq., on motion, Mr. Easton Whitten, was called tothe chair, and W.D. Shirley and Francis H. Hereford Esqrs, appointed Secretaries, whereupon, on inotion of W.

Kenneday, Luke Len Steel, and H. H, Havron, 5

After a short retirement, the committee returned and, through A.Kitchell L’sq, sub- mitted the following veport, all of which was unanimously adopted.

“A frequent recurrence of the fundamental principle of civil government is absolutely necessary to preserve the blessings of Liber- ty.” State cop. art. 8. sec. 18.

Experience—the true test of all human reasoning has demonstrated, beyond all con- tradiction, that, economy, is a primary and fundamental principle of civil government; and that frugality and temperance, its es« sential ingredients nre as necessary in public, as in private life—in the government of na- tions, as in the governinent of families, These are indeed, laws given tous, in wis- dom and goodness, by the author cf our ex- istence, and which no people, whether per- sons, or communities, have ever been known to violate without in curring the coucomitant evils, of want, oppression, servitude, and slavery, a penalty, wisely presented in the nature of things, for such violations. An isolated case of individual disobedience, issuf- ficient to illustrate that of a whole communi- ty; and the same cause or causes which pr duced his in solyency, distress, dishonor, or servilude, will ever be found ruinous ito a na- tion, and to render its people fit subjects for oppression, the victims of a tyrant, and may atlength compel them tothe lowest station in the great family of man—that of a slave. It is a correct maxim, and no more trite than true, that the “Borrower isa servant of the Lender,” and it is no less applicable to a State than to an individuol. Weare burden- ed with onerous and injust demands ia the form of debts, but our case is not singular in that respect nor are we left to conjecture the cause—the history of the last eight years is foo plain to be mistaken, too familiar to be questioned. ‘These demands are angmenting with unparallelled rapidity and as to where must and will be the ultimate consequence, without an immediate remedy is found, there needs no fancy to conceive, no theory to de- monstrate. ‘The history of the past is full of it. We hayo a lesson isngiand, whose debt two hundred years ngo did not paced five millions or Wellars 5,000,000.) One hundred years ago, it was ubout $250,- 000,000,—in 1820 it was $2,700,000,000, —in 1827 §3,887,000,000,—and now in 1841 itis not less than $4,000,000,000,— The anmual interest on this debt, is more than $125,000.000, and this paid by her enslaved and suffering people, thousands of whom have no other subsistance than is attained by one penny"per day; who too are often stinted to a few potatoes alone, and in many cases, indved, families of men, women, and children, are driven to the necessity of “Miving Sawdust with their perridge that each may have a mouthful.” And whilst these people are living in (his wretched man- ner and buddled together like brutes and sleeping without beds or covering, their haughty tyrants are rioting in luxury, rolling in splendor arrayed in silks and reposing upon down. ‘The household expenses of the Queen (a person of less goodness and talents, than thousands of her poorstarving subjects,) costs these miserable people in their annual labor more than three hundred thousand dot - lars. Shall freemen, will the American free ~ men, after such a lesson of experience & de:- gradation as this, the fruits of oppressive an d unhallowed taxation follow, and imitate the Slave making policy of their British ancesi- tors? We are ready to answer no! neyes! But let us not be too hasty, Alas! bave they not already began to ape their foreign breth- ren in folly, extravagance and debt? Six years ago our national government was en- tirely, and our State governments compara~ tively free from debt. Whatare they now? the Federal government more then twelve millions of dollars in debt. and this rapidly in creasing. Our States together, near two hundred and fifty millions, and which is daiily and rapidly augemnting; requiring at this time a sum not less than fifteen millions a n- nually for interest,and more thanallya getat part of this to be paid by the labor of our people to foreign creditors. And our wn State, the land of our adoption, the home a wd hopes of ourselves and our children, hiow stands the account with her? Alas! how has she fallen! Betrayed by her own socis, pretended, agents of the people, and sold to stock jobbers beyond the Atlantic ocea n! Demands,vast and almost beyond comprehe in- sion, exceeding eighteen millions of doll ars are now made against her, for whichshe has receiyed in many cases none, and in the rest nyery inadequate consideration. The’ in- (erest on this sum is more than one mil lion of dollars annually and which at the en d of thirty years added to the principal will cons stitute ademand of not less than fifty mil lions of dollars. And for the paymentof this ins terest we aro now threatened with oppre ssive taxation, to gratify a merciless band of poli- tical gamesters, But let usnot despair. Al- though we are threatened with ruin and although our oppressors setting inhigh p laces are planning our destruction, they mus t and will be hurled from their statioas. Al aough thedemonsof fraud and corruptionare stalk- ing through the land with boldness and terror, yet, let us still hopo and believe that there is a redeeming power in the virtue and intel- ligence of the great body of the people to correct these evils and restore health. and vigor to the government.

I think it more than prob- able that the officious correspondent is one of those fellows, who escaped the punishment, he so richly deserved and which the magna- nimity of the President screened him from, or he is some fellow who had been refused admittance into the President’s house, by tho honest son of the Emerald Isle, whois station- ed ut the outer door of the President’s mansion to admit Gentlemen who come to pay their respects (o the Chief magistrate and his fam- ily, and whose long experience and nice dis- crimination enables him {o know the differ- ence between the blackgaurd and gentleman. What would be the feelings of an American, were he ina London Coffee House, and to hear such an article read, why sir, if a high minded American, under such circumstances he would almost sink into a nut-shell; he would feel himself so humble and mortified that he would almost be tempted to deny bis country. Butsir, there is no apprehension of that being the case, as our little Picgune pa- pers seldom have circulation, beyond their own and the adjoining States,

There has been going the rounds, Messrs. Editors, in the pagers an article in relation to Mr. John ‘Tyler jun. and his visiting cards. I spent two months in Washington during the extra session of Congress. I will admit there was such a rumor; | heard in.-several compa- nies persons speak of such cards being in cir- culation and invariably enquired, ifany gen- (lemau had ever seen one of them but I could not find one person, either in Georgetown, or the City who had ever scen ono; they had heard Mr. such a one, say there was such cards in circulation, and Mr. such a ove, said he had heard that such was the fact but did not know it of his own knowledge, at length T found that there was about as much trath in the report as the story told by the oid wo- man who swore that she heard the Doctor sav that an old lady in the neighborhood had geen phgsicked by hin und stie had, puked up three black Crows, which turned out to pe just.such a lio.ne-relates to the cards, for the old lady only puked up bile aboutas black as a crow. Now, Messrs. Editors, 1 made it my business both in the City and in Georgetown, to convince myself of the truth, or falsehood of the report, I proved to my perfect satis~ faction that it was a malicious fabrication, to injure, and also, to wound that amiable young gentleman’s feelings, for he is a gentleman in every respect, and as free from vanity as any young man of his standing in society as I met with while in Washiogton. Iam ac- quainted with the family and Tsay in truth there is not a more amiable family than the ‘Tyler family; the President and his family visited at the House I stopped at, und it was there I had the satisfaction of getting posses- sion of one of the private secretary’s cards. It was very plain,and as well as I can recol- lect, not even ornamented with a border, and had on it no more nor less, than ‘John Tyler juo.” i

The following facts we find briefly embod” icd by the writer of the money articles for the New York Herald. They are valuable to prompt reflection in this season of legislation. “The banking institutions in the South will continue their suspensions throughout the coming year, but they are taking every pre- caution to secure as many of the assets as possible before the Bankrupt law, which goes into operation in February next, shall interpose and sweep them from existence; capitalists look forward with anxiety to the events of the coming year, growing out of an annihilation by a law of Congress, of at least $200,000,000 of indebtedness that now exists in the shape of individual, company and bank assets. ‘This may be considered the great weight that drugs down the value of all stocks.

« Notwithstanding this, howeyer, the mer- cantile business of the country was never better than now. ‘The crops are large nnd change hands readily on n specie basis, not- withstanding the mass of irredeemable paper afloat, Pricesarelow, regulated by the great supply of produce, and consequently the ex- ports are large, and their returns, swell the to at least $40,000,000. over thos year. The income of State and Federal Governments feel the effects of this in the increaso of their revenues. This state of things may be singularly illustrated in the fact that yhe Government, at the late session, authorised a loan of $12,000,000 of which they have found it-impossible (0 negotiate more than $5,000,000. the revenue from the customs is actually

_ Resolved, Thatin the selection of all can-

didates for offices of honor and trust the true interests of the State should be held para- Mount to every other consideration, and that a selection should be made from those of our citizens, whose known probity and political honesty will be a sufficient guarantee that in all measures the good of the People willever be held in view, and that the public interest will never be sacrificed for personal emolument. _ Resolved, That we have implicit confidence in the principles of Jefferson democracy as advocated by the democratic party through- out U, States.

For tho Register.

Messrs. Editors: The shaft of “Jefferson” has hit his mark. The contortions and griev- ances of the Illinoian, shows the effect; it un- willingly pleads guilly to every charge, not only to those made by yourselj, but also ty “Jefferson.” What is the matter chargea against that print? What are the specific al- legations? Jefferson has charged the Tilinoian “Pte wetng ww vigan ava se pander 10 the vices of others; with being: the vehicle of falsehood anddefamation. Does the Iilinoian deny? Does it adduce evidence of its innox cence to the charge? Doesit show the re spectability of its origin and standing; of its original and present honesty? No, sirs, none of these things are done? If I mistake not the character of Jefferson, “he has grappled with the whole concern;.he will hold them fast, they-will not escape him. If I mistake.

him not, he has the courage to hold up: be~ trayers of social confidence—of treacheruus- coalitions; of private; public and official tergi- versations; hence they shali not escape? Does the Illinoian disprove the charges against it- self and eoadjutors? Yes;.gentlemen, it diss proves the charge of falehood by charging you with various offences; by a collection of the fish market billingsgate;.so common in the columns of that paper.

It accuses Jefferson of defamation, and with the design of reducing it to the level of hims self. Doex it disprove? where’s the proof?— does it disprove the specific matter against his gubernatorial friend? No. sirs, uot. one word is heard. Buttothereply. Ipresentit in a nut shell;—“level with himsell,” “loathsome thing,” “his blackgnardism.” “Alton, Alton, Alton” (this idea seems uppermost in his thoughts, surely the fellow must have some terrors of that place.) “Villians,” “pitied dogs of a higher grade” (wonder if he means the Democratic dog, secretly electioneering for Joseph DENGAN Hydrophobia,” “a detested heap of putrifaction.” “Nauscous,” Low breed- ing. We intend to take him out of the cor- poration on achip, by the first scavenger that passes. The Illinoian is accused ‘of defama- tion, and of pandering to the vices of others. It answers the charge by the aforesaid collec- tion of words. Itdare not plead, “not guil« ty—yet it says Jefferson is a “loathsome thing, villain, alow blackguard, a heap of pu- trifaction,” &c, Aye, in what predicament does it leave Gen. John J. Hardin; it leaves him occupied by innuendoes-at least, of put fing himself up into notice as a gubernatorial candidate, &c. Aye, gentlemen, the Illinoian answers this matter also, by the aforesaid speech. Gentlemen, (hat concern must sup~ pose the suckers to be fools to bo blinded and hoodwinked in this style.

I think I know Jefferson, I Jeave themin his hands, he is abundantly able to do up the whole concern, I am satisfied that he is not to be terrified, to depart from the line of duty, he will unmask the whole concern-

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION, TO THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOL

Fellow-Citizens: ’

Having been chosen by the people of the several counties as their delegates, we have assembled in Convention at the seat of Government, for the purpose of wlecting candidates to be supported by the Democratic party, at the election in, August next, for Governor and Lieutenant Governor of this State, This course. scemed to be the more necessary at this juneture, for the renson that several meri-| tocious individuals have been named in the newspapers and elsewhere, as worthy, yf selection, and are presented by their friends as cundidates for those distinguished | Stations, As the two great parties that now divide the State and Nation, will be arrayed against each other at the approaching election, it becomes us, if we desire the success of our principles, to leave no honorable means uni sayed to prevent division among ourselves, by which, with the greatest numerical strength upon our side, disaster and defeat would be the certan consequence. Atsuch times it has} ever been the usage of the Democratic party to assemble in a Convention compo- Sed of as many delegates from the countics as they have Representatives in the General Assembly, With additional delegates according to population, so that there: may bea fair and full expression of the public will in selecting a single eundidate) on whom the friends of all can unite, Tt is not the design of such an assembly, 10 dictate to you whom you shall support, or interfere with the voluntary action of any one of you. Tt acts alone by advice, it recommends but does not command.

Tis design is to preserve harmony by reconciling conflicting interests—t0 produce) yecess, Seven States ulone, among them our own beloved Illinois, withstood the concert of action—to inspirit by mutual friendly suggestions and advice every) hock——her Intelligence wus not decvived--ler virtue was not subdued—her de-

member of the party, and to be so organised, that when the day of trial comes, we may present an unbroken column, antinated by one common feeling, aud resolved on victory. i

Tha convention thus formed, the friends of all the candidates have an equal chance—the vote of a majority determines the choice, and. acting. iu a common cause, and for patriotic purposes, no desire conld be felt to deal unjustly towards any one of them, We have endeavored to canvass, honestly and fairly, the merits of all oninfluenced, we trust, by sectional or other wnworthy considerations, and although the friends of some of the candidates may regret the choice did not fall upon Uieir favorites, we have so much confidence in their patriotism and in their devotion to the maxith “union, harmony, concession, every thing for the cause) nothing for meu,” as Vo believe that they will conquer all such f-elings, cordially aiding in the election of the nominees; the only rivalry being whose aid shall be: the most efficient.

When so many worthy

nocracy Was unterrified, and the same animate the bosoms of her sons.

Such, fellow-citizens, were the means by whieh the enemies of democratic prin- siples obtained power, and not by your ceasing to cherish and reverence them—not that they had fuiled to conduct you to happiness and honor--not that you had di ierted the faith as hunded down from the futhers of the republic. The sceptre in their hands by the will of the majority, 11 may not be unprofitable to examine th what manner they have wielded it, and whether they have uot already verified the| observation of “a Roman Consul, in the early days of that celebrated Republic, that professions and promises made before an election were not always fultilied after i”

Exulting in a victory thus achieved, like the Scythian hordes of old, they cuin~ menced an indiscriminate slaughter, in some parts of the Union of old and young, the weak and the powerful, aud made the ofiives of the country the mere spuils ot ‘a barburian war. In the face of their repeated pledges made before and after the} electiun, thousands were driven from public employment for no official delinquen; ey, but to make room for the lank and hungry followers in their train. Like the sweep of the hurricane in its. werath, has been their desoluting course, and genius, virtue, fidelity have felt the killing blast, As wolves rush to the curcuse exposed on the prairie, so did these famistied political hyenas congregate at Washington, cager to Jap the blood aud tear the flesh of democrats in office, and with a kindred fierceness and voracity, g-oated and growledover their prey, Whilst patriotism wept at the sud and sickeniug spectacle.

Throwing off the masks they had assumed during the canvass, anxious to taste the sweets of power of which they had been so long deprived, at an unusual season Of the year, the country not yel recovered from the exeitewent and consequent exhaustion of the election; some States without representatives, and no pressing public necessity demanding it, a special session of Congress was called by the proc Jamation of the President to assemble on the last day of May. Tu the mean time death had deprived them of their leader, and by this accident the second officer} beceme the first in the Government, he holding one sentiment in common with his party, that was, opposition to the Democratic administration, based, doubtless upon & most patriotic desire to possess their offices aud enjoy the emolumeuts and hou- ors of the country.

With as much unsnimity as could he expected, in view of all the circumstances attending aselection, we have made choice of ADAM W.

promising but falthless men, into whose power you have committed them? Let your own observation answer these questions.

But, fellow citizens, turning from these things let us examine their conduct in other important particulars.

Iris well known, thut during the admimstration of the patriot Jackson, the na- tional debt was entirely discharged, and ull is influence exerted, as well as that of his illustrious successor, to prevent Congress from incurring another, by so cur- {ailing the public expenses us to render such a measure wholly winecessary A national debt, has always been regarded by the democracy as a curse, as by at, the} power and influence of the federal goverment is increased, a pretext fabricated for a national bank, giving employment and facilities ty thousands, too indolent to} Tabor and who destre to live upon the oil of others,—blending monied interests in govermontal afairs, and taxing the lubor of the people to pay the principal and the interest. For these very reasons the federal party have always favored a national debt, regarding it as a national blessing; and the creation of the firsi—the fundin aystem its concomitant and the bauking system its moving spirit, are the offsprin, of their financial policy. Hardly wari in their seats, dashing aside the democra tie colors in which they won your confidence and favor, in a time of profound peace, with all the elements of vational prosperity clustering around us, they fasten upon the country a debt of twelve millions of dollars, the annual interest on which is six hundred thousand dollars, avd the whole made a charge upon the public treasury, and consequently upon your labor, until fully paid! What is ore alarm ing sull, the leader of the party declared in his place in the Senate, that of the next session, an additional debt of sixteen millions would have to be created!)

Tn vain have been all the efforts of the patriot Jackson to pay off one national debt—in vain the efforts of his suecessor to prevent the accumulation of another— in vain have been the teachings of experience, the warnings of patriots and the op- position of the democracy! Had the advice of the retiring administration beew heeded, this measure would bave been wholly unnecessary, but the great ulterior object of the party, the creation of a national bank, could Hot be accomplished with- oUt it, and to that, allelse must be sacrificed, To the demands of the party for such a political engine, by which their power may be perpetuated, your interests must yield, and the oppression of the country, is a matter of thrifling concern!

Going into power with the welfare of the dear people upon their lips—as the poor man’s friends, and as specially devoted to their happiness and interests, how do they carry out these professions?

‘Lo tax heavily, the necessaries of life, which the poor must consume, is a mea- sure of extremity, to which no paternal government will be eager to resort, as the burden falls on those least able to bear it, Since 1829, under the democratic ad ministrations of Jackson and Van Buren, by the exertions of their friends in Con gress, more than one hundred millions of vollars were saved to the people by red cing the (axes on articles of prime necessity, such as sugar, tea, coffee, and many articles of clothing, and it was the general hope of that party, What still greater re- ductions would be effected. Noone dreamed ofa policy, by which the taxes should be raised, or even continued ‘at what they now are, and if an emergency should) arise, that it would be inet by additional taxes upon the luxuries of life, in which the rich indulge, but these silken patriots who stole into power by the most decep- tive ineans—these special friends of the poor—these pretended champions of the inmates of log-eabins—these “Demucratic Whigs,” at an extra session of Congress, without consultation with the people, and in defiance of their wishes, create, by their own unconstitutional act, a necessity for additional taxes, by plundering the! treasury of the proceeds of the sales of the public lands, amounting to more than) three millions anunally, to distribute them among the States, to buy voles with] and bribe them to their support! These proceeds come in part from your pockets, yon work hard for the share you pay, and have paid it cheerfully, never supposing that they were t be given to the other States, but knowing that they contributed to pay the corre! they have amounted to, the necessity for taxation, in the shape of duties levied up on articles which you consume. To make good the deficiency thus occasioned 11 the Treasury; the war duty of twenty per cent, is still retained on salt which you all consume, and in greater quantities than the whole tribe of bank managers,

erchants, brokers and dwellers in marble palaces—-retained upon your sugar, molasses, iron, steel, coarse blankets, and other articles in common use, and a bill actually passed the house by their votes, to lay the same taxon your tea and coffee,

Were it not for this abstraction of the land proceeds, the duty on salt might have been taken off altogether, and upon other articles reduced to the great benefit of the people. ‘This measure, seemingly calculated for the benefit of the indebted Stutes of the Union, is the one vpon which all othi

Ifthey approve the law, they will displace the President, if they agree with lim and disapprove it, they will displace the Congress. To tuke this power away, would bring the Executive and every other department of the government under the control of Congress, and would destroy the symmetry and beauty ofasys- tem, fashioned by the fathers of the Republic, and which hus extorted the adnvira- tion of the world. Yer, fellow citizens, is. is seriously designed by the party in power so to change the constitition us to get tid of this clog upon Congressional action, in order that a bare majority may enact such luws as they please in order that they may rule with undivided empire, and without letorh ndrunce, arbitrarily dispose of all your constitutional rights. Wall you consent to this, or rather will you not raise your voices against it, and pry wnceusingly that the day may never come to this Republic, when its destinies shall be committed to a bure majority of Congress? When it shall come then, on the instant must there bea separation of this glorious, end now happy Union—then will it be rent in pieces, and its frag- ments become the sport of the world. ‘This result is inevitable from the very ns ture of Uhings—there will not then be, as now, any power representing the interests of the whole Union, capable of protecting the weaker portions of it against the as- sauits of the strong, and upon principles of self defence, they must separate. The very moment this great protecting puwer is taken fromthe Executive, that moment the sun of this Union sets in dark, in cheerless, iueternal night’ The Senate would be no suilicient protection to the weak States, although they are equally represented there, there may happen an inequality, or if there should not, and it should be an obstacle in the way of the action of the House, then the nextstep will be to abo) the the Senate and leave the States at the mercy of a majority ofa single housel!! No, fellow citizens, suffer not your constitution to be touched by such impious bands. If they make a breach in it in this particular, they may, one by one, demolish all its defences provided for your safely and protection, until, at Jast, undermining the very wall itself, its fall will bury your liberties in sts ruins.

Haviny, fellow citizens, nowshown you the conduct and designs of the party in power, as they have been made manifest to the world by the events of the late ses- sion of congress, the actors in them stripped of their various disguises, and stands ing revealed in «heir original and uppropriate colors, we may be permitted to ask the question, does any reasonable man believe the people would have entrusted them with power, if, previons to the election, they had made “a declaration for the public eye,” that they would do as they have done, thut they would create anation~ al debt of twelve millions of dollars, certainly—and probably one of twenty-eight that they would increase the expenses of he government more than six millions of 6 Mars—that they would increase the taxes upon the necessaries of life which the poor consume—that they would plund:rthe public treasury of three miliions annual ly to bribe and corrupt the people with—that they would enact a bankrupt law to compel the honest tut unfortunate debtor to surrender his property for the benefit of his creditors, and at the same time omit fraudutent banks, in whore grasp is the property of the honest and confiding—the widew and the orphau—that they would establish a National Bank, twice condemned as iit has been by the people, and tos complish it. would destroy our beautiful and time honored system of governinent— that they would call an extra session of Congress at an expense of half a million of dollars to hasten these measures? No, none ean believe it, and even now in Sta where they were most successful, the voice of coudemnution has ascended from their valleys and rever! ed from their-hills, so startling, so indignant, as to cause these guilly ones to tremble in their seats of power.- From Maine to Georgia, and from Michigan to Mississippi, the same, voice is beard—the Key Stone aud the Empire State re-echo it, until their united murmurs fill the air. “Power obtained as theirs was, and used as it has been by them, must be short lived, ond alrendy through the gleom whieh so lutely shrouded ovr prospects und our hapes, a hgtt is now breaking—a sure harbinger of the coming of the star of democracy—a sure presage thatit will be again in the ascendant. Let us hail its return with appropriate joy, & learn of the past, never fora moment to despair, though shadows, clouds, and darkness may envelope it. Let us he convinced Ghat it cannot be utterly obscured, but from every eclipse will emerge with increased splendor, and with renovated power!

Leaving the further consideration of national affairs, a view to those of the State may neither unprofitable or unsatisfactory. That we have much to boast of in our natural position, all will admit, Occupying the fairest portion of the great valley of the Mississippi, with a soil unrivalled in fertility—with a climate favorable to animal and vegetuble developments—connected by a vast inland sea, with the commerce of the north and east—the Wabash, the Ohio and the mighty Mississippi washing its borders—its imerior drained by large and navigable rivers—prairie and forest beautifully diversifying its surface, and the ore of the most valuable metals struggling through it with inexhaustible fields of coal for fuel and quarries for build- y—_with a constitution of government formed on the basis of equal rizhts, and covering all with its ample and protecting shielé—with a population, hardy, enter- prising, honest, patriotic and intelligent, —receiving with equal kindness under her protection the alien from his native land, and the stranger of our own—ndinitting ho distinctions, but those of Knowledge and goodness, our ul imate destiny, though how berlouded, cannot but be prosperous, bright and happy. Our present emsbar- rassments, severe as they may be, will teach us a lesson we will not son forget and thas profiting by them whilst they are oppressing us, their origin and cunses should | be inquired into.

A desire to improve ones condition is natural to man, and remarkably charac- teristic of the freemen of America. Their forms of government and their laws, are wonderful improvements on those of the old world, while in the arts and scien= | cesvin. literature ond in arms, merican genius is most conspicuous: We are a r| quick. inventive, inquisitive and enterprising raccs and each new generation strives to outstrip the old, Ivis this spirit, acting on individuals that has overthrown mon~ archirs—penpled a continent; borne the ru tide of population ta this magnifi- t{ cent valley, which builds uur ships and our stcaniboats—esplores the mine and the ocean's depth, and prompts the most daring enterprises Acting upon state it has united by two diffrent ties, the great Jakes of the north with the oecan—scaled | the summit of the Allezhanies—almost anuihilated space by the application of sivam to railroads, and Worked ont the most wonderful results, towards the aues Tioration of the condition, and the advancement of the prosperity of their citizens.

Address of the Democratic Conven- tion to the People.

A luge portion of our columns is filled

with this document, and we could not open them to one of deeper interest, We lovk upon this address as one of the most able papers of the kind ever published in the Une ted States, whether we judge of it from the beauty of ats style, the strength of its reason- ing or the array of facts which it embodies. Notwithstanding its length, we hope all our renders will give the address a careful perusal.

Col. Adam W. Snyder. i] For severul weeks previous to the meeting of the late Democrntic Convention, the genteman whose namie henda this article became.a, promi nent object of abuse by a writer calling himself MSLasuenoarr,” by avather, calling himself “A Fruexo To: Stasuencare,” wlioso productions were printed in the Sangamo Journal, and dis tributed from that office in handbills, al over the State. About the same time, the Chicngo Demo- erat came to us with anarticle of the same cha- racter signed “I, P. Wanker,” and dated at Dan- ville, Minis, Ourrenders are aware that these numerous altacks on Col. Ssypen, had no other effect before*the Convention than to withdraw all opposition from him, and to cause him to be nominuted as the democratic candidate for Gover- nor, by Nearly a ynaimous yore. The members of the Coyention became satisiied that a fecling of personal hostility actuated the writere, which they disregarded.

In the productions of all these writers, there are but (vo points which are worthy of notice or re- ply. Itis asserted by one of hem that Col. Sny~ voted against the Sub in 1837, and bis name is ngled with those of Casey!and ni. ‘The facts were, as our journala of

session of C anost unjustly 0 May on that ques readers will recollect, and as the Congress will show, that no direct vowe was taken on the Sub-‘Treasury bill during that se ‘The motion having been made to lay the tho table, Gol.

Tiere iufavir of the bill, uccordingly he voted for it at the regular session, held a few mouths afterwards.

Another ubjection to Col Snyder is that he vos ted in 1837 fur Mr. Allen as printer to the House instead, of Blair & Rives. Col. Snyder gave this vote becnuse the editors of the Globe bad tken partin heir paper during the canvass in 1836, between Col. Suyder and Gov, Reynolds, in favor of the latter, while at the same tiiwe they were boil runing as deaeratic candidates, and both good democrats. For this dictation of the Globe, we caneall ic by no lighter name, the friends of Col. Snyder insisted to him, before he Left home for Washington City, in 1837, chat if there was any other democratic candidate field inst Blair & Kives, that he should give that candidniehis voto. Mr, Allen the opponent of Blair & Rives, professed unwavering Demucrtoy— was lou ia his professions of attachment to Mr. Van Buren and,to the party which sustained hi In less than five months Col, Snyder regretted his yote, in consequence of thetreachery of Allon, andon the door of the Mouse denounced him for his treachery to the Democracy, and openly stated thatif he hud to vote lor Printer over nga he woul give his vote to Blair & Rives.

Government Bank, After the President's message was read in the Senate, and while the question to print it was pending—

Mr. BENTON observed that he cou'd not reconcile it to himself to let the resolution pass without making a few remnrks on that part of the message which related to the new Fisca] Agent, Looking at that feature of jt,as read, he perceived that the President gave an outline of his plan, leaving it to the Secretary of the ‘Treasury to furnish the details in-his yepor). Ho (Mr, Brnrox) ap- prelended, that nothing in those detuils could reconcile him to the project. or in any mun- ner methis approbation, There were two oain points presented in the plin, to which he never could agree—both being wholly unconstitutional and dangerous, One was theyofemitting bills of credit, or issuing a tieusurycurrency. Congress bad no consti- sutional authority to issue paper money, or emit Federal bills of credit; wud the other feature js to authorize this Government to dealin exchanges. ‘The proposition to issue bills of credit, when under consideration at the formatiin of the Constitution, was struck out with the express view of making this Government ahard money Government --not capuble of recognising any other than a spe- cle clirrency—a currency of gold and silver —a currency known and valued, and equally understoad by every onc. Buthere is-a pro position to do what was expressly refused to be allowed by the finmers of the Consti- tution—to exercise a power not only not granted to Congress, buta power expressly denied. ‘The next proposition isto. autho: aland rege ulate exchanges, and to furnish exchange to merchants, This is a new, inyention—a modern idea of che power of this Governmeut. invented by Mr. Biddle, to help ont » Na- tional Bun Mach as General Hamilton was in favor of paper money, he never went the length of recommending Government bills of credit, or dealings in exchange by the United States Treasury. ‘The fathers of the church, Macon, and John Randolph, and others, called this a hard money Gov- ernment: they objected to Bank paper; and that goes beyond Hamliton, much as he was in favor of the paper system. The whole scheme making, this Goveramentia regulator ofexchange—a dealer in exchange—a fur- nisher of exchange—is absurd, unconstitu- tional and pernicious, and is a new thing-un- der the sun.

Now he, (Mr. Brxtox) objected to this Government becoming a scller of exchange tothe country, for which there is no more authority than there is. for'its furnishing transportation of goods or country produce. ‘There is nota word in the Constitution to authorize it—nota word to be found justify- ing the assumption. ‘Phe word excliange is notin the Constitution. What does this mes- sage propose? ‘Congress is called upon to establish a Board with agencies, for the puc- pose of furnishing the country with exe! ges. Why should not Congress be ulso. cal- fed on to furnish that portion of the commu: nity engaged in commerce with facilities for Iransporting merchundise? . ‘I'he proposition is ono of the tost pernicious nature, and such as must lend to the most dangerous con- sequences if adopted.

"The Brittish debt began in the time of Sir Robert Walpole, ci issues of exchequer biils —by which sysiem the Brilish vation has been cheated; and plunged irretrievably in debt to the amount of nine hundred millions of pounds. ‘The proposition that. the Gov- ernment should become the issuer of exche- quer notes, is one borvowed from the system

introduced in England by Six Robert Wat pole, whose whig administration was nothing

[He.(Mr. Bextox) had much to say on this subject, but this was not the time for entering at large intoit. his perhaps was pot the proper ocewsion to say more; nor would it, he (Mr. Bexrox) considered, be treating the President of the United States wuth proper respect to enter Upon a prema- ture discussion. [le (Mr. Bento) could not, however, in justice to himself, allow this resolution to pass Withoutstating his objection to two such obnoxious features of the propo- sed fiscality, looking, as he did, upon the whole thing ns one caleuluted to-destroy the whole structure of the Government, to change it from the hard money it was intended to be, to the paper money Governmentit. wasin- tended notto ve, and to mix it up with trade, which no one ever dretmed of, He (Mr. Bextox) had-on another occasion stated that this Administration would goback not only tothe Federal times of 798, but to the times of Sir Robert Walpole and Queen Anne, and the evidence is now before us.

He (Mr. Buxrox) had only said a few words on this occasion, because he could not let the proposition to sanction bills of credit go without taking the very carliest opportu- nity of ex ing his disapprobation, and denouncing a system calculated to produce the same yesults which had’ raised the un- funded debt of Great Britain from twenty- one millions to nine handed millions of pounds. He should avail himself of the first Appropriate opportunity to maintain the round he had assumed as. to the identity of this policy with that of Walpole, by aigu- ment and references, that this plan of the Presidenvs.was utterly unconstitutional and dangerous—part. borrowed from the system of English Exchequer issues, and part from Mr. Biddle's scheme of making the Federal Government an exchanga dealer—though Mr. Biddle made the Government act indirect- ly through n board of bunk directers, and this makes it act directly throughia board of Treasury Directors and their agents,

This is the first time that a formal propo- sition has been made to change our hard money Government (a3 it was intended to be) into a paper money machines and itis the first time that there has been a proposal to inix it up with trade and commerce, by make ing ita furnisher of exchanges, a bank of de- posite, a farnisher of a paper currency, and an imitator of the old Confederation in its continental bills and a copyist of the Engli h Exchequer system. Being the first. time these unconstitutional and porniciousschemes wero formally presented to Congress, he felt

The French journals reveal a monstrous fact.

On As inferior surface of the liver isa peculiar bladder in-which the bile is firat reserved, being formed by the liver from the blood. Thence it passes into the stomach and intestines and regulates the Jisgestion. ‘Thua we sce when thero is a deficiency of bile, the body is constantly costive. On the other hand, an over abundance of bile, causes frequent nausea, in the stomach; and often promotes very severe atiacks of discace, which cometines end ia death.
