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

and expect it. ‘The oppressed and ignoran

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.

_ Ata numerousand yery respectable meet-
ing of the citizens of Monigomery county,
composed, without distinction, of political
parties. 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. Kitchell, the chair ap-
pointed the following committee, consisting
of persons from each political party, for the
purpose of presenting to the meeting a pre-
amble and resolutions expressive of their
views, viz: Messrs George [H.- Anderson,
Robert Paisley, Alfred Kitchell, John Me-
Ewen, Enos Johnson, Ira Roone, Augustus
Knight, Alexander McWilliams, Robert C.
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. Let us for our-
selves declare that we ayo detormined to be
freo and that we will submit no longer to

such violstions of eur rights. Th ysperience

of our State’s political career for the last eight

years has fully shown that “the price of

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,

_ Ata meeting of a portion of the Democra~
tic citizens of Lawrence county, convened at
Lawrenceville, Monday 6th inst. Dr. William.
G. Anderson was called to the chair and Aaron
Shaw appointed Secretary. The object of
the meeting being fully explained by the
chair—the following resolutions were unani~
mously adoptec.

_ 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.

On motion of A. Shaw—James Rawlings
and Willard Durkee, were chosen delegates
to represent this county in the State Conven-
tion to be held in Springfield on the 13th inst,
to nominate candidates for Governor and
Lieut. Governor.

Resolved, That said delegates have full
power to appoint suitable persons to discharge
the duties devolving or both or cither of them
as such delegates,

Resolved, That we view with great satis-
faction the return of our democratic brethren
thronghout the U. States, to tke ranks of hons
est democracy, supported by “the sober second
thought” of an enlightened community.

Resolved, That time has fully proven the
utter worthlessness of all promises of “better
times,” restoration of confidence, easy times;
&e. &c. as proclaimed but a short time since
bya party headed by coon skin and. hard
cider demagogues,

Resolved, That the thanks of this meeting
be tendered to our United Senator, Hon: Sam.
McRoberts, the able and uncompromising
friend of the West and advocate of true dem-
ocratic principles,

Resolved, ‘That the delegates appointed by
this meeting be instructed to use all honora-
ble means to procure the nomination of Hon.
Jolin M. Robinson of White county. for Go-
vernor.

Resolved, That the Democratic papers
be requested to publish the above.

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

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.

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.

party, that was, opposition to the Democratic administration, based, doubtless upon

ors of the country.

spirit which then quailed not, still tives to,

individvals are presented, a choice between them is not
unattended with embarrassment, We have felt this, and have patiently weighed
tnd maturely considered all the circumstances surrounding Us—the great stake we
all have in the approaching contest, the diversified imerests of the State at large,
the duty of the Democratic party at this crisis, actuated by no other desire, but to}
present for your approval stich persons as we consider-true exponents of the prin-
Fiples of our party. With as much unsnimity as could he expected, in view of all
the circumstances attending aselection, we have made choice of ADAM W. SNYDER,
Of StClair county, for the office of Governor, and of Joun Moore, of McLean
county, for that of Lieutenant Governor, and recommend them to your confidence,
as worthy of your suffrage. é : : :

‘They are well known to you as gentlemen of high honor, incorruptible patriot-
ism, sincerely devoted to the great principles we profess, and efficient actors in their)
support. With them, we believe, the interests of the State can be safely entrus-

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,

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

sto permit the laws to remain as they are, without any change, until the people|

away, would bring the Executive and every other department of the government

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

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

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.
When moderately active, and with the means to sustain 1, happiness and prosper ri-
ty will resalt-—when carried to excess, schemes are planned, resembling more the
dreems of the visionary enthusiast then the sober calculations of intelligent minds,
‘and much mischiefis, produced. ‘That whole communities, composed as they are
a individuals, should be acjuated, by Wiis feeling, is neither unnatural nor censurias

‘A few years since, almost every State in the Union stnrted simulianconsly in the carcer

Ilinois was but acting in obedience to its impulses, when she commenced hersys:em ofinter-

consideration tending to enhance them, it is uot strange that she should attempt to cut
throngh the high eniumit dividing the waters of her great inland sea from those of the
Mississippi, and thus mingle them together—that she should project a vast thoronghfure
through the interior of the Stare to serve as a great artery of trade, and communicatiuny
| into which mumerons veins should bring their supply of circulation—that she should

design (o connect the great “inther of waters” by a direct route, with the Wabash, and
thus unite with the improvements of her neighbors, in fine, that she too should have ful-
lowed the spirit as she beckoned her on, when she thonght she saw the flowers of prowi
springing up in her steps, and rich fruition atthe goal to which she pointed. [cis not

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

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—

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

denied. ‘The next proposition isto. autho:

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

quer notes, is one borvowed from the system

introduced in England by Six Robert Wat

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

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

continental bills and a copyist of the Engli h

The inhabitants of the west can now bo fur-
ned with the justly celebrated Sis’ Improved
Vegetable Fnnily Mediciue. ‘The rendy sale and
unparalleled success which bas attended the in-
troiluction of this medicine in various parts of
the western country, has induced the proprictor to
estnblish an agency for its sale in the State of
Ilinois, to meet the wants of community. ‘The
high reputation it has acquired at the cast, has
given it additional lustre a3 an antidote for dis
eases in. the west, being universally csteomed
where it is known and administered.

"To prepare a remedy which should be snfo in
its administration, and never injurious to the con
stitution, and yet wonderfully eficient in its op
eration, has Jong been n luudable and much de-
tired object. ‘This the author confidently believes
fio has nccomplished, and this belief is founded
on the freely accorded and gratevul testimony of
those who have proved its intrinsic worth.

‘As a specibc (or Bilious diseases, it is unrival-
Jed. Itis just euch n medicine as every family
requires, and none should be without it; it hae in-
Ken the’ place of a fiwily physician, in the most
alarming ciges of fevers, with the happiest re-
cults. In usiogit, it should be tnken in sufficient
quamities to produce a thorough evucuation.—

Thence it passes into the stomach and intestines
and regulates the Jisgestion. ‘Thua we sce when

of bile, causes frequent nausea, in the stomach;
