PROSPECTUS

OF 6 new periodical work to be pubI.had
in the city Of Washington, entitled the
Edwardsville spectator. [volume] (Edwardsville, Ill.) 1819-1826, 1819-08-21
FROM THE SAME

In May 1855, congress adopted the
plan of laying out the Public Lands in
townships, sir miles square. This plan
has been followed in all surveys, ex-
cepting that portion of public land i'll
Ohio, which, by act Of June !, 1896,
was appropriated for military bounties
for the army of the revoution--that
tract was divided into townships fUe
miles sgnare.-Thc east and goeat bonn
dastes of townships being meridians, it
is evident that their approximation,
though scarcely sensible in a space of
sic miles, would, if not corrected, throw
into the form Of naralieilogram the
township which, by law, was to be
square. 10 cbviate this, the deputy
surveyors are instructed to form a new
base or parallel to the equator, at every
"a or so miles. The corners OF each
section and quarter section are defined
by marks, on at least two trees, whose
species, diameter, distance, and bearing,
by the compass, are entered on the field
notes. The magnetic variation at the
| time Of the survey is also noted for each
township. Each deputy surveyor de-
posts his field notes in the Office Of the
surveyor general within whose district
the, land is. These notes are copied in
! to bound books-he is, also, by his con-
tract, obliged to deliver to the surveyor
general three copies of plat and des-
cription of each township, and fractional
township. Of these, one copy is trans
nitted to the general land office; one to
the register of the land Office iii whose
district the land is and he retains the
other, which is copied into well bound
books, of which he makes out dupli-
cate, one of which is retained and the
other transmitted to the general land Of
fee, BY this multiplication Of authentic
copies, and their deposition in three dit
ferent and distant places, perfect securl-
tv is had from fire or other accident
This wise system takes away all tempta.

but this would elicit any thing; and that
to this, at any other time, there would
have been much more generous con-
tributior.
Another reason operating against us,
is, for the last year or two more has
+, been spent in the erection of churches,
the promotion of religious and charita-
bic objects, in all the places | have visit
| ed, than at any previous period; so that
the funds of charity were, IN measure,
exhausted. Another cause is, that a
very reasonable opinion was entertained
that the general government would soon
take up the measure, and that it was
only required of individuals and socie-
ties to make commencement--gi &c
an impulse to public feeling, and i'm
press suitable character upon the colo
nv, and afterwards aid in all the beneyo-
lent designs towards Africa; and, lastly,
| that there would be societies formed
| throughout every state, and that individ-
uals of piety and benevolence would,
from all parts Of the union, contribute to
its useful design. Such are the reasons
for preventing those who are anxious and
DESTROYS OF its success, from contributing
more largely, as though the success de-
pended on the Eberality of few.
If l am asked by the board, to what
extent the subscriptions now gong on
at the, south will probably be carried,
| am utterly unable to answer twill
depend on the number and active zeal
of those who manage it; upon the dill
gence with which personal applications
are made to the citizens throughout the
states. But we may be permitted to
hope that, as this is a cause of the first
magnitude, SO it will excite an unusual
| diligence in those who undertake it.
The report which have delivered TO
you, gentlemen, is an uncolored state
ment of facts which occurred, and can
did narrative of conversations held with
a number of our most intelligent citizens
to the south. | have endeavored to in
form myself, as correctly as possible, OF
the general feeling and opinion in regard
to our society, and the result has been
a conviction that, unless a great altcra-
ton takes place, or | have been misin-
formed, it will meet with liberal sup.
port. Our efforts should, in my opinion,
be principally directed to the south, and
our first coloIists should be chosen from
thence; because their mode of life, their
constitution and other circumstances III
regard to them, will better suit FIRST
establishment on the coast-of Africa.
With such hopes and opinions do Ire
turn from the mission you were pleased
to entrust into my hands; and an now
ready to serve you in any other way
which shall seem most conducive to the
welfare Of the society.

things exists, it is good index that the
bank is a public nuisance, that il ought
to be made to pay its debts, become bank
rupt and close its concerns. We have too
many banks by at least one half, and there
is no other way than this of getting clear
of them. When t1vo hundred in the u.
States are dissolved, the rest will be able
10 give us a wholesome currency, 10 sufli-
Client quantities, and we shall hardly find
kDots of managers whose discounts and
oUerdya,vings amount to more than the
capital of their institutions; as DOW is the
case perhaps, in many instances. We
shall have fewer "rag barons"-but ease
and comfort will be diffused through So
cisty; and economy, superaddei 10 the
terror Of speculation, secure the future
happiness of the people.
Let us then resist every succedaneum
that may give rise to fresh gambliugs in
paper. 1t is the laboring people who al
last must pay the losses made by them.
They should resolve to bear with, ana
forbear for a few months, ard firmly meet
the Universities OF the times, rather than
saddle subsequent productiveness as tri-
umphant seats for new marauders. All
that we have suffered or are now suffer
ing, will have to be suffered again--if We
yield one inch 10 the moDopolizers. The
instant that bank notes are no longer the
representatives Of specie, we shall have a
new bank forevery day in the year. II is
cash payments, only, that can defend the
people from swindling banks and bankers.
