that great many have no opinion On the
subject; and that the head men of the
party he is now connected with have al
ways had hankering that way, but
wanted chief of sufficient ability and
courage to lead them on to the accom-
plishment of their object. If the next
election is conducted like the last, and
opinions are on this all-important subject,
we may expect an exactly similar legis-
lature to the last, which can be moulded
into any shape by this Tennessee con-
lurer, particularly if he fills the chair Of
state: for pleasant words and good din
hers have a wonderful effect on the in
tellects of such men as are too often
chosen to represent the people. A le
gislature of this kind could easily be
ilattered and stuffed with the belief, that
it was necessary to call convention
and this convention, if composed of ST.
milar materials, might, by the same
mode of reasoning, be made to believe,
that it was absolutely necessary to tole
rate slavery. And as it is not customary
to send amended constitutions TO congress
for ratification, we might ever after look
on Illinois as slave state.
Citizens Of Illinois
You are called upon to investigate
the subject, and Judge for yourselves.
10 every man belongs a part of the
government Of the state, and to every
man this government ought to be dear.
You have eyes-you have ears, and you
have the faculty Of Judging Alright; and If
you find the present candidate for govern
or, of contrary principles to what have
represented them to be, then | will join
you in his support But if you find that
he always has been determined advo-
cate m.' slavery, then discard him from
your counsels, as man dangerous to the
liberties of the state. But, for Heavens
sake, do not sleep Oh your posts, and
let this eventiul crisis pass away without
giving it that consideration which its I'm
portance deserves.
One Of the PeofAe.

~isast men III congress upon this ques-
ton, shall not be surprizcd to find such
division also amongst yourselves. ifsuch
shall be the case, and my course shall
not be approved by you generally, must
look Tor consolation to that spirit of tole-
ration, which, 10 free government, adj
Tnits of difference of opinion, without
involving in that difference, any unwor-
thiness OF motive. Led by the dictates
otmy own understanding, and unenlight-
ened as that is by long experience, it
would be vain in me to suppose myself
free from error; but whatever errors |
may commit, il know myself, will be
errors Of judgement and not Of intention.
During the short period have served
in the distinguished station to which
your favor assigned me, / trust | have
learned, that the interest of the nation
IS the interest of each state. 1t is, in my
judgement, the practical acknowledge
ment oft this truth only, that can keep this
conlederacy united. The individual,
therefore, who is clothed with the high
powers OF Legislation for nation, should
embrace within its political horizon, ex-
tensive as 1t is, every portion Of that ma
lion.
In a country, embracing such diver
sity Of wants and interests, subject too,
as its councils are, to such frequent
changes, changes which are necessary to
the preservation of their purity, it is not
to be wondered at that entire perfection
does not exist in its legislation. That
perfection, however, may be looked for,
when experience shall test the ineflicien-
cy of existing measures, and point with
precision to the proper improvements.
Under the gradual application of this
test, | hope the time is not far distant,
when the statesman at the helm, the aux
Hilary crew, and the numerous passen-
gers on board the ship of state, with one
voice, may truly proclaim Ills we'll"
Accept, fellow citizens, assurances of
my grateful acknowledgements.

Justice as from the considera-

impartial Justice as from the considera-
tons above alludedto, to delay any further
proceeding in the case, until a convention
Of the Legislature might furnish them
with light to govern their wanderings,
in this maze OF doubt and uncertainty
The commissioners, upon examining the
act above alluded to, discover direction
of the Legislature to" proceed to Perry
vile in the county of Fayette, and there
to appraise and ascertain the damages
sustained by the proprietor or proprie-
tors of lots in said town in consequence
of the removal of the seat of justice
therefrom:" They also perceive by the
same act that they are to be sworn be-
fore some Judge or justice Of the peace,
" faithfully and impartially to ascertain
the damages aforesaid" But they have
not been able TO discover in any part of
said act any authority to compel the at
tendance, or otherwise to obtain the tes-
timony Of Witnesses, by which that ap-
praisal could be accomplished.-The
commissioners, thus left without the
power of asccrtaining the truth; yet
compelled, as well by the said act, as
by their oath, to report it impartially,
perceive a discordance which they can
not reconcile, and therefore submit it to
the wiedom Of future Legislature to
prescribe some method by which these
difficulties may be surmounted, and the
interest Of all concerned more correctly
ascertained and impartially determined.
