SPECTATOR
EDwARDsyILLE, JUNi 10. 1921.

The hopes with which tie friends of
freedom were inspired, for Ae cause of
liberty on the continent of Europe, are
dissipated by the accounts which will be
found under the foreign head. Itisthe OPT
MON of some of the eastern editors, that
this movement of the Neapolitans is
only to entrap the Austrians, the more
completely to ensure success; but its
tendency to depress the spirits of the
soldiers of the former, and % elate those
of the latter, renders such a policy
not only doubtful, but extremely impro-
bable.
We have no advices relative to the
proceedings of the Missouri legislature.
BY the speech of Gov. M'Nair, as we'll
as the tone of til .sMissouri newspapers,
there can be no doubt of compliance
with the terms of the resolution of con-
gress for the admission of the state into
the union. Thus we see that after all their
vaunting and yituperation," the Mis-
sourians are ready to submit to pre-
scribed conditions But it is the
character OF the bully to cover when he
finds that he has unluckily engaged his
superior.
If a man upon knocking at the door
of his neighbor should be met by de-
mand, as preliminary to his admission,
that he should behave himself peaceably,
the presumption would be plain that his
character was at least viewed with suspi-
cion; and under such circumstances he
would doubtless consider whether the
advantages to be derived from an admis-
sion were paramount to the act of i'm
pairing his "rights" and compromising
his "dignity."

dunn, produced by the commercial ba-
lance, which is constantly against US, as
il must be against every new country
which is rather in state of preparation
than of the actual production of the ne
cessarics and luxuries of life. There is
another subject of the utmost importance
TO which | would call the attention of the
General Assembly. Remote causes, over
which the people of this state had no con-
troll, and in which they had little partici-
patton, have produced a depression in
commerce and credit, which has been
severely felt throughout the continent.
The evil beginning in the Atlantic cities,
has gradually extended itself to this
state, and produced pecuniary embar-
rassment and distress, both public and
private, heretofore unknown among US.
/ feel myself unable to point out a rene
dy commensurate with the evil but con-
tent myself with suggesting to the Gene
raj Assembly, thatif there be any feasible
plan of relief, the public exigencies i'm
periously require its adoption; if it may
be done without trenching on the funda-
mental principles of the constitution,
those great and sacred land marks which
should never be removed or departed
from.
At the last session of the General AS
sembly it was deemed expedient to pro-
pose several alterations in the Constitu-
lion. AS my views were then made
known upon that subject, it cannot be
% HAT Chn,,lI ka ra-
peated; Twill therefore merely call your
attention. to the subject for the purpose
of reminding you that if not now acted
upon, the matter will be beyond the reach
of this General Assembly, as your regu-
lar session in the approaching autumn
will be too late to allow the time for pub
cation required by the Constitution. 1t
has heretofore been impossible to eata-
blish regular system of finance, and to
rive to our resources their utmost pro-
ductive equality. This cause together
with the enlargement of expense made
necessary by the change and organiza-
ton of the government, has rendereRthe
receipts into the Treasury inadequate to
its necessary disbursements. Your best
attention will therefore be necessary to
such branches of the revenue as have
not yet been fully developed and applied
10 the public service. And in connection
with this subject the establishment Of a
rigid system of economy in every de-
partment of the state, and the retrench-
ment ofevery unnecessary expense, are
subjects greatly to be desired.
Gentlemen, as you are assembled Tor
the consideration of matters special and
urgent in their nature, ] will suggest the
propriety of shortening your session as
far as is consistent with the public good,
and of postponing until your regular SEES
sion in the fall, such measures as may
be thought necessary for the general
amendment OF the law.

FOR THE SPECTATOR


A YOUTHFUL REVERE.
When fortune propitiously smil'd on my youth,
And pleasures from childhood surrounded my
way,
And nothing assaiPd listening ears hutthe truth,
And Music's sweet sonnet-enrapturing lay
Soft dreams of felicity sweetened repose,
And bright gilded castles arose to my view,
Encircled by beauty, perfumed by the rose,
AS she blushingly sniPd in the mornings soft
dew.
As the beams Of Aurora diverge from the east,
70 enliven and cheer all creation around,
So delicious emotions were thrown to my breast
From the rivulet'sgentlys soft murmuring sound.
With rapture traversd the fowery mead,
And musingly rambed the shadowy grove,
While Fancy and Hope the deluded would lead
TO the bowers of peace and the Eden ofloye
But alas all my pleasures stole swiftly away;
Those scenes which enchanted youths fanciful
heart,
Escap'd like the sun at the close of the day.
Adieu, lovely vision farewell! we must part
The linnet no more shall delight with her strain
This bosom, now shroudeding looms ofdespair;
To murmuring rills which meandcr the plain,
No more shall ever with raptures repair.
The accent offriendship denies her protection,
The hand that supported, alas! is no more!
Those eyes which have once heam'd with loves
soft affection,
Are closed in the tomb--I shall meet them no
Alas! how the prospects around me are
changed,
No friend to commiserate sorrows sad child,
Integrity seems to be lost or estrang'd,
While truth has receded, and virtues revild

ADDRESS

Qfthe Mayor and aldermen Qfthe City
of.Neqv- Orleans, TO Major General II.
jackson, voted unanimously in the SIZE
cial sitting ofthe Esd Of April, 1921.
S1R-An event, which your valor
had prepared, brings you again to this city
after an absence of many years-years
not wasted in the sterile enjoyment of
your well-earned fame but devoted to
your country. After serving it in times
of peril, when it required the exertions of
those high virtues that save or elevate
empires, you consent now to consecrate
to its interests the talents which your ex-
perience had given you in civil life
thus initiating in peace, as you had i!ni-
tated in war, those renowned men Of an
ancient republic, who knew alike how to
command victorious armies, to negoci-
ate important treaties and to direct the
establishment of infant colonies.
Like them you have also felt, that un-
rivalled services could not shelter the
great and the virtuous from the hatred
and envy of those who find it an easier
task to hate and to envy, than to emulate
great actions; but you have triumphed
over their intrigues, as you did over the
armies of England and the hordes Of the
Seminoles.
You tread here on ground consecrated
by the memory Of your exploits.
wealth, the prosperity that surround you
is your workout for you, and the brave
men who fought under your banners, a
heap of ashes and scattered ruins would
have been all that would have remained
of New-Orleans. The spectacle which
you now behold, contrasted with the dis
asters you avertcd, is recompence wor-
thy of a mind like yours. Though ac-
customed to look to posterity, as the best
rewarder Of illustrious deeds, you can
not be insensible to the gratitude of a
reople, who, through the organ of their
magistrates, proclaim you their deliver
CT.
With hearts filled with the same senti-
ments which we have expressed in the
name of the ycitizens Of New-Orleans,
we welcome you within these walls,
which your valour rendered so impreg-
nable to our foes; and we invoke on you
the choicest blessings which can be be-
slowed on man by that Divine Providence
which sent you forth in the days Of our
calamities to work our deliverance.

COMMUNICATION,
YUM NIUATIUN
NEW JAIL AND TAXES!

L
1t will be seen by the notice of the
clerk of the county commissioners court
put up at the courthouse door, that the
commissioners have determined TO build
new Jail of brick for Madison county,
of an unnecessary size, the cost of which
cannot be less than from four to six
thousand dollars. With every respect
for the gentlemen who preside in this
court, l nevertheless take the constitu-
tional liberty of examining their decision
on this subject. 1t is unnecessary to re-
mind the citizens Of this county of the
offer made last year by several individu-
ais, to build for the county not only a
Jail Of the same or greater dimensions,
but also courthouse, and to make do
nation thereof to the county; not sin
gle cent would have been borne by the
county on account thereof; the situation
infinitely to be preferred both for con-
yenience and health. The court at that
time thought it necessary to defer the
consideration of the offer of donation un-
til a period when they would be out of
Office. From this course the persons
making the cffer saw that It was merely
to evade "a decision that the postpone
ment was made, and accordingly with
drew their offer, to save the gentlemen
the necessity of decision on question,
which if they had determined against the
offer would have met thsdnquali6ed dis
appreciation of at least two-thirds of the
county. The question has however been
revived, not by those who made the ORR
ginal offer, and let us now see with what
propriety or necessity. There is Jail
already competent to hold all that may
be committed, and it is fact Of notorie-
ty that nearly the whole year through
not more than one or two prisoners are
committed, and frequently none for
months. Where then can be the neces-
sity of a Jail of a larger size than the pre-
sent one But let us inquire, who is to
pay for it? The county must if it be
built according to the notice, be taxed,
to do it, at least five thousand dollars,
and no additional tax has been levied of
any amount. Are the commissioners in
real earnest? If so, they have made no
provision to meet the contract on their
part. 1t will be said that the county by
the new law will sreceive two-thirds of
the whole tax levied and collected upon
the lands in the county. This is true,
but in the valuation of lands no more
than the actual amount paid on each quar-
ter section can be estimated; of course
the taxes for the ensuing years will fall
short more than half the amount Of for
mer years. Lands rated at large sums
will now pay only nominal tax, and
there will also be total loss to the coun-
! ty Of q large SUM by individuals letting
