1t is time to put an end to the anarchy
whish tears Spain in pieces, which de-
prives her OF the power of giving peace
to her colonies, which separates her
from Europe, which has interrupted all
her relations with the august sovereigns
whom the same intentions and the same
wishes unite with his most christian ma
Jesty, and which compromise the repose
and the Interests of France.
Spaniards France is not at war with
your country. Sprung from the same
blood with your kings, can only desire
your independence, your happiness and
your glory. lam about to cross the Ply
reDnees at the head OF one hundred thou
sand FreDchmen, but it is to support the
Spaniards who are the friends of order
and the laws; TO aid them to liberate
their captive king; TO raise again the
altar and the throne; to rescue the
priesthood from prescription, men Of
property from spolialion, and the whole
nation from the domination of few am
bilious persons, who, in proclaiming H.
berry, prepare only the slavery and ruin
ofSpain.
Spaniards Every thing will be done
for you and with you-the French are,
and only will be your auXiliares. Your
standard alone shall wave on your cities.
The provinces traversed by our soldiers
shall be administered by Spanish autho-
rites. The most severe discipline shall
be observed. Whatever is required for
the service Of the army shall be paid for
with the most religious exactness. We
pretendfDot to impose laws Oh you, or to
occupy your country. We wish nothing
but your deliverance when we shall
have obtained it, we shall return to our
country-happy in having preserved a
generous people from the calamilies &C.
nera,ed by revolution, and which ex-
peri-nce has taught US but too well 10

this too, in case where their duties are
exclusively ministerial. Such daring
usurpations could not be tolerated with
out endangering the most essential rights
of freemen. For, as / have heretofore
observed, when the laws emanating from
free people, as the legitimate source
OF power, cease to command respect, and
are openly set at nought, with impunlty,
by those who are entrusted with their
administration, they can, no longer be
T lied upon for Protection. Every m an
IN the community is therefore, deeply in
terested in maintaining their authority.
When once enacted, all, owe obedience
to them, until they are legally repealed.
Those who would claim any exemption
from this general obligation OF obedience,
would constitute themselves privileged
class, in direct repugnance to the prin-
cipies of rational equality. The people
Of Illinois are not SO mean and AFFECT, as
TO submit to such impudent pretensions,
from any quarter whatever.
The President and Directors could not
be ignorant that the effects of the mea-
sure, so improbably imputed to them,
would necessarily bring reproach upon
our public character, and depreciate our
paper, to the injury of the state, which
receives it, at far !; and to tina, of the
citizers at large, who stand in need of
| the soundest practicable circulating me-
dunn Nor could those gentlemen doubt
that such consequences would sooner OF
later bring upon them, those universal
execrations, which such conduct would
SO Justly merit.
They would have clearly perceived
that, such disregard of official duty, and
want of respect for the people, would
have been attributed TO disposition,
right, or wrong, to promote the interest
of Vandalia, at the expense OF the rest of
the state, which could not fail greatly
to increase their public condemnation.
Besides, having no authority thus to
depreclatc our paper, and then pay it off
at such monslrous sacrifice, they could
expect nothing less from an insulted and
injured people, than to be made to bear
the loss themselves.
They would, by such conduct not only
have been liable to Impeachment, but
to indictment, also; and had the charge
been true, and known to the Governor
of the state, it would have been his duty
to have lost no time in communicating it
to the Attorney General. But more upon
the subject hereafter. l musl now con-
clude, having only time to heseech my
fellow citizens not to suffer themselves
TO be SO cheated and imposed upon as to
part with their state paper al the present
depreciation. If now had leisure, and
probably shall have in few days, l
think could demonstrate that our paper
ought to advance greatly. Those who
will keep it will find that l am not mis-
taken. l shall, at all events pursue the
subject hereafter.

SPECTATOR
EDWARDsyLLE, JUNE IA, 1898.


When we read the remarks of T. w.
Smith, Esq in his paper Of the slst ult.
we did not believe that he intended to
adhere to his promise, not IS to notice US
in hahe,' quar-" We considered it
mere pretence, to conceal the movtiGca-
ton he felt, at not being ready to present
some smart, witty, or bombastic reply to
US, sufficient to sustain the high opinion
with which he had con,rived to inspire
his employers in regard to his mighty
controversial powers. Under this i'm
preston, we prepared the subjoined re-
marks upon lis publication; but Ast we
might be mistaken, and at the same time
thinking that his declaration afforded US
favorable opportunity of demonstrating
our repugnance to contests of personal
nature, we suppressed those remarks,
and Aattered ourselves that we might,
for while, at least, escape his further
vituperation and abuse. His last paper,
however, shews how little reliance can
be placed in his promises, though pub
licly given; and how fallacious were
our hopes, Of escaping his venom, even,
for one week. DID we not believe that
his attacks were intended to destroy our
usefulness in contributing 10 prevent the
Introduction of slavery into this state,
they should be treated with the silent
contempt they merit; but, as they are
connected with the cause in which we
are engaged, we feel the more at liberty
to notice and repel them. We would,
however, prefer to discuss with him the
question of a convention, without any al
lusions of personal nature. Whenever
he ceases to attack US, we shall forbear to
retort upon him. He, therefore, may
put period to all personalities between
US, whenever he pleases. But he ap-
pears TO be too vain of his smartness, wit,
and circumlocutory style, to let slip any
opportunity of displaying them; or has
too little confidence in the justice of his
cause, or his powers of reasoning, to en-
gage fairly in the investigation for which
he is employed. This he cannot safely
much longer defer. His patrons expect
something more of him, than mere abuse
of US. They are already beginning to
complain, that they cannot see any thing
in his paper uhon the main hoins. They
are equally disappointed, because they
expected much, and see so little.
We challenge him to come out, and
demonstrate the justice and republican
ism Of calling a convention, under the
present ratio of representation, and to
state the pressing grievances which de-
mand that measure, before the next emu
meration. Or, if he like it better, to
shcw the policy and justice of introduce
ingslavery into this state. We are ready
to meet him on these grounds, and hope
he will not finch.
The want of time prevents us from
replying, in this number, to the re-
marks in his last paper.

Cadiz has rendered to the State, for the last
