A GOOD EXAMPLE.

1t has become very common for us to
to hear the intelligence Of some of oui
subscribers moving themselves off, OF
refusing to take their papers out of the
Post Offices to which they are forward
ed, without ever having rendered us the
least compensation for our services
Such conduct is as unpleasant to us, a:
1t is dishonorabe and dishonest in them
and cannot longer be tacitly endured
Those persons, therefore, who intend in
future to leave us unsatisfied for unre-
mltted and constant labor, may calculate
on being, in some way or another, OK
posed However disagreeable and I'M
pleasant this may be, on our part, it will
be no more than duty we owe ourselves
and may further serve as warning to
our fellow citizens, where such charac-
tiers may reside. Zanespiiie Messenger.

IN Tuesday last we, the Register
" and Receiver OF the I.and-Office al
Edwardsyille, made known that the pub
lie sale of lands, advertised by the Pre-.
sident's proclamation of the 9Th of April
last, would commence at Edwardsville
on Monday the I'd, and continue until
Saturday the 2lst of October. This was
in pursuance of the proclamation, which
states that "each sale shall continue
three 4veeks and no longer" But it
would seem, by a subsequent law, viz
/" An act making further provision for
the sale ofpublic lands" approved April
"a, 1920, that the several public sales
authorized by this act shall respectively
be kept open for tvo weeks and no lon
ger"
Now as it is thought that this is one OF
the public sales contemplated by this act,
it is necessary to correct our former no.
tice, by informing the public that the
sale will, in pursuance of the 5th section
ofthe said law, continue two weeks only;
and that the lands will be offered for sale,
as near as possible, in the manner and
on the days following, viz:
On Monday, October 2, townships Il
and IL, north of range west.
On Tuesday, October 8, townships IL
and II, north of range west.
On Wednesday, October 4, townships
4 and IL, north of range west.

GOV. M'NAIR'S SPEECH
TO THE MISSOURI LEGISLATURE.

TO THE MISSOURI LEGISLATURE.
Fellow Citizens ofthe Senate and ofthe
House Of Representatives.
Having been notified by you, that I
have been called by the voice of my
fellow citizens, to fill the Office of Gov
ernor of the State of Missouri, it be-
comes my duty to enter upon the dis
charge of the arduous and important du-
ties which the constitution of our state
has assigned to that magistrate.
In doing SO, cannot but feel the
greatest diffidence and embarrassment,
arising as we'll from want of experience
III the affairs of the civil administration,
as from the present Important political
crisis ofour country. Relying, however,
much upon the aid which l shall receive
from the Representative of liberal and
enlightened people, and above all, rely
ing upon the protection of the Supreme
Being, who watches over and directs the
destinies of nations, l feel encouraged
in entering upon the arduous task before
me.
I congratulate you, gentlemen, upon
the happy change which has just taken
place in our political affairs. From the
dependent condition of territorial gov
ernment, we have passed into sovereign
and independent state. We have formed
for ourselves Constitution which
though perhaps not free from the imper-
fections incident to all human institutions,
does honor to the character and intelli-
gence of our infant state, and gives us
every reason to expect that we shall
without further difficulty be admitted in
to the federal union.
Much remains yet to be done to en-
sure to ourselves the perfect enjoyment
of all the inestimable blessings of self
government, and it becomes us, in the
| measures which we shall adopt, to put
the new government into operation, to
act with degree of prudence and de-
Liberation COMFORTING with the import.
ance of the duties to be performed, as
the future character and prosperity OF
our country, in very great degree, de-
ponds upon the measures OF the First
General Assembly,.
You will have the Constitution laid be-
fore you, which points out the principal
subjects of immediate legislation, to put
the new government in operation.
1t is deemed advisable to remind you
that the election of President and Vice.
President of the United States is ap-
preaching, and that it will be necessary
to make provision as soon as possible for
the election Of three electors in this state,

fish. Taking into view the vast quanti-
ty of overAown ground occasioned by
the mill-dam (of Nicholas Jarro0 in
width at least two, and length FIVE miles,
in the level and rich Mississippi bottom,
within two or three miles of ST. Louis,
contiguous to the rich and condensed
settlements of the Six Mile Prairie and
Goshen, who can expect any other than
baneful accumulation Of discase--and
Fill the atmosphere with noxious vapors,
to oyer-balance the vital air, SO conducive
to animal existence.
The terms of stopping the mills, and
letting the waite" run entirely of, as re-
commended by Foreruuner," may an
swer we'll, in case the distractions to the
streams are entirely removed; but it
will not possibly answer any good pur-
pose to have the Cahokia creek obstruct-
ed from Edwardsville to the Mississippi,
by mills, as they are now, and always
will be, common and public nuisance;
taking away the rights of the people Of
the most essential nature--that is, their
health, the benefit Of navigation, and the
periodical floats of fish from their great
reservoir, the Mississippi-which are,
or ought to be, common to all, being the
gift of natures God.
Let any of the settlers near this creek
testify, if the complaints called bilious
are not of a more pernicious nature than
before the distractions complained Of.
Also appeal to those of the same de-
scription, if this creek do not hold water
sufficient, flowing smooth and gentle all
the spring months, and greater part of
the winter, to carry vessels with load
equal TO that of two hundred bushels of
corn---no Improvements wanting but to
remove the drift-wood, which would re-
move the cause Of disease very much,
and be of infinite benefit to wait our heavy
produce from this fertile and luxurious
county to the Mother of Waters. If the
people of this county think as the writer
of this does, they will petition the next
legislature for remedy Of the obstrnc-
tons of water courses in general, parti-
cuiarly to have the Cahokia creek de-
clared navigable--establish company
to remove the impediments to its nayiga-
ton, and charge the passengers small
but competent tonnage, which would IA
cilitate our agricultural as we'll as mer-
camille pursuits, more than many are
aware Of; and be the means, through
mercy, to prevent many tender mother
from shedding tears.
We are much encouraged to apply to
the state legislature, on account Of the
zeal and capacity of the members Of that
body that represent this county. The
suffering people have an inherent right,
both by the laws of God and man, to re-
move the distractions comp lained of, as
a public nuisance, and recover their lost
rights, even if it should be by force
However, more moderate terms, if indi-
Gated with that zeal that self-preservation
doth inspire, will not only answer that
purpose, but will he the means to CONT
nue. the same advantage to future gene
rations. OLD RUSTIC.

FOR THE SPECTATOR,

Upwards of twenty years past, l have
wished for population in the Illinois to
be willing, and in some measure COM
petent, to clear the drains of the impe-
diments which prevent the running oil
the waters, which settle in stagnant pools,
to propagate unhealthiness OF the people
in autumn; but, to my great regret,
when we are blessed with an increase OF
population, I see the reverse practised
much, by stopping of our water courses
by the erecting of mill-dams. The fatal
consequences are severely felt by our
citizens, and were justly, ably, and pa
thetically explained by Mr. Blrkbeck,
in an address to the society of agriculture
of this state, sitting at Kaskaskia-and
to my satisfaction see the subject taken
up over the signature Of "Forerunner,"
in the Illinois Intelligencer-which mo-
destly, truly, and fairly, sets forth the
cause of much calamity, by the stopping
of our water courses by mills-and gene
rously offers printed petitions on the
subject, which the undersigned requests,
for humanity's sake, to have few CO.
pies sent to him, care Of the postmaster
at Edwardsville. The writer would not
have troubled the public with these Rus
tic hints, but to make known a positive
fact concerning the state of Cahokia
creek, which nature ordained to drain
the greater part of the surplus waters
from the county of Madison, as well as
part of the county of St. Clair; but is,
unfortunately, arrested in its course by
mills to the amount of three--all unlaw-
full Instructions, and calamitous in effect.
About the first of this month, the writer
of these, in company with others, had
occasion to visit said creek, about the
head of the lowest mill-pond on the
creek; when the party were insulted
with an uncommon obnoxious smell, SO
strong that it affected the stomach of one
Of the party, who requested to shnn a
cluster Of bushes, supposing it contained
carton. which produced the offensive
smell, and arrive at the creek at one
other place; but to the disagreeabie as
enlistment of all, the water gave the
efluvia, and was positively rotten. We
went our course down the creek damned
bv the mill-pond) and found the smell
too strong for the human constitution to
bear; and to mend the matter, vast guam
fities of fish lying in heaps, dead-met a
company of fishermen, who said they had
killed some, but threw them away, on
conviction that the putrid state OF the
water had killed so many fish, that those
a,iye could not be sound. twill be I'M
derstood that the putrid smell came from
xhe water even where there was no dead
