piled, 81 shall not leave this spot before

Much tumultuous discussion took
place, which time forbids me TO repeat,
| am convinced the sittings and distur-
Dances have occurred because Iturbide
wishes to destroy the Congress.
The General presented letter, which
he received from Davila, in which he is
invited 10 re-couquer the Empire, and
place it under the protection of Spain.
But, as ii the Devil had hand in it, the
plot was discovered. These plots and
usurpations have destroyed the equili-
brium OF our government, and we are
now in the situation of Buenos Ayres."

which they expected to gather from the
supineness and imbecility of the new
states. We congratulate our country on
its escape, SO far, from the disastrous
revolution which the cupidity OF few
designing politicions was Fastening to
consummate. The speech of Mr.. Ed
wards, of Illinois, on this subject, in the
Senate OF the U. S. appears to have put
an end to the discussion in Congress-
Mr.. Edw ards speech is published in a
pamphlet form. 1t is powerful, and
indeed it may be said to be an irresistl-
BILE argument. We regret exceedingly
that II is not in our power to present it

SERIOUS JOKE,

A gentleman from one Of the back
towns in this state, relates the following
circumstances, which took place recent
ly: A party ofyoung people had collect
ed together one evening for amusement
when it was proposed by some of them
to couple themselves, and go to young
justice and be married. This, it was
thought, would be fine fun, and clever
Joke on the young squire. All was rea-
dy in twinkling, and the company
marched off; some of the old damsels
led off with great glee young beardless
youths of fonrteen--and all soon appear

The Editors of paper entitled the
Augusta Examiner in their prospectus
say,
"They wish to be fairly understood
that they are the advocates for Southern
rights as defined in the Constitution OF the
United 5 ates, and clearly avo"ed by
the trainers OF that ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
.meled by those conditions and reStric-
tons which were avowed on the floor of
Congress as sine qua non on the adj
mission of Missouri into the Union,
To freSerUe these rights in their origi-
nal purity, they will 4varmiy advocate
the election Qfa Southern PRESIDENT"
We know not who is the candidate
of these champions OF slavery, but re-
commend to him to disclaim their sup
port as quickly as may be. A few such
oflicious advocates would seal the
fate of any aspirant They who engage
in the wicked design to work and toment
sectional feelings for the advancement Of
their own interest, should have sense to
know on which side the strength lies.
We should be the last to bring local and
partial considerations 10 bear on The Pre-
sldential question, but we should also
be the last TO submit to their influence if
resorled to by others, and we think the
same may safely be said Of the great
mass of intelligent and patriotic voters
Of the North. They will not object to
President because he Is from the south,
bat they will not take one who has no
other RECOMMENDATION.

The Governor of this state has, by
proclamation, offered reward of two

victed Of the crime ofburglary at the last
term of the Green county circuit court,
and escaped before the sentence Of the
law could be pronounced upon him.
Confusion zvorse confounded." The
arrangement of the affairs Of the post
Office department, in this section Of the
country, has reached its maximum, I'M
less indeed we are to be excluded from
all the benefits Of the mail establishment
Our readers have been made acquainted
with the circumstances attending the de-
lay to carry into effect the law for alter
ing the mail route from Ninccnnes to St.
Louis. In anticipation of the fnlflment
of this law, proposition was submitted
to two of our members OF congress. dur
ing the last winter, for an alteration in
The arrangement of The mails carried Oh
the cross-routes to and from Edwards
vile, by which the people north and
south of this place would receive the
news at the earliest possible time, and
by which an annual expense of several
hundred dollars would be saved to the po-
vernment. This proposition was prompt
ly submitted, by Mr.. Cook, to the post
master general, who assured the former
that he would adopt the plan, and give
orders to that effect Immediately. But
how has this promise been fulfilled? The
transportation of the mail between Ed
wardsville and Bclleville is discontinued,
we understand, by order of Mr.. Meigs.
The latter place, therefore, has no COM
munication with any post office, but by
the way OF Kaskaskia, situated fifty miles
south of it. Poor LEBANON is left out
altogether; and the carrier ofthe eastern
mail having thought i, more convenient
to take a by-pa,h to St. Louis, than to
pass through Edwardsville, it is owing
TO the neglect Of the postmaster general,
when he gave his order to change the
direction of the mail from Vincennes to
ST. Louis, SO as to pass through Wanda
liza, to discontinue two other routes, which
by such order were rendered useless,
that this place is not at this time in the
same situation. From such state OF
things, Return Jonathan to the perform
ance of the duties Of your Office, and de-

EXTRACT TO THE EDITOR, DATED

Washington, My 10, 1922.
"DEAR SIR-Never was there during
the administration of Jefferson, or Madi-
son, more violent opposition party than
the present administration has to encoun-
ter. 1t is composed principally of Mr..
Crawford's friends, and he is supposed
to be the real head of it. If this be not
the case, it is a singular circumstan ce
that, just in proportion to the devotion
of his friends to himself, is their hostility
to the President. This is too evident to
be any longer disguised. What the con-
sequence will be, l cannot say. But all
that have heard speak upon the subject
concur in opinion that no high-minded
and honorable man ought to reconcile it
to himself to continue member of an
administration with which he could not
cordially cooperate. Harmony has Ger
tainy fed from the cabinet. Dlscord
reigns triumphant. Opposition, how
ever, has sustained many signal defeats
during the recent session, particularly in
the house Of representatives.. But they
still persevere. 1t is "aut Cesar aut
nuilns" with them"
