Mr.. COOK.
We perceive by the last Illinois papers tina,
The opponents Of this gentleman are Masking
very inJnst efforts 10 prove to his constituents
'hat ne aces not command proper share Of
the respect OF the body to which he belongs,
and is incapable from that circumstance Of ren.
detinT any service TO his constituents This
effort is made through the columns of the onl,
paper that advocates the Caucus cause in that
state. Prom our situation as reporters of the
proceedings OF Congress, for the two last ses-
slons, we are enabled to say, most nnequivo-
ca'l', that such representations are wholly
un!oandcd. We do most sincerely believe
that no member Of the House of Representa-
tives Possesses more Of the esteem of his fel-
low members 'han he does. From his bold
and fearless discharge Of his duties, like every
other independent man, Mr.. ConK has his cne-
mics, bat they are only political opponents

lance, we believe he has not single personal
enemy. On the contrary, it is well known

dor, industry, and general worth. In relation
TO particular sii5 iect to which his opponents
ro'er-that is, the bid Cor the relief of the pur-
chasers Of public land, we know that he
c1cried all his abilities 10 procure its passage
a11 we also know that it was owing TO his in
detatigable exertions that the Committee on
the Public Lands in the House of Represents
tlves consented TO report the bill in the first
Instance. So emphalically was he considered
the author OF The measure, that by those who
more particularly knew OF his exelton in its
support, il was called as mode of ready de.
slgnation, "Air. Cooks BILL" Our intimate
intercourse with some Of the members of the
land committee, enables us to state that the
F'$t draft OF the bill wa,,repared by Mr.. Cook,
and without material alteration was reported
70 the House.
II Mr.. Cooks constituents could witness
his eSertions, and the general success which
follows them in the House, we should think
such mode Of opposition as we have referred

To TIE Editor ofthe Illinois Gazette.


Similarly in last year, about the
time that the Convention Question was
FORCED through our Legislature, the tel
loving resolutions passed the British
House of Commons gpithoNt a dissen-
tient U0ice:
"That it is cxpedien, to adopt edectu-
al and decisive measures for ame,iora,ing
the condition of the slave population in
his Majesty's Colonies.
That through determined aud pre-
serving, but, at the same time, judi
cious and temperate enforcement oil
such measures, this House looks for
ward to progressive improvement in
the character Of the slave population,
such as may prepare them for a par,ici-
patton in those civil rights and privileges
which are enjoyed by other classes OF his
Majesty's subjects.
{" rha. this House is anxious for the
accomplishment of this purpose at the
earliest period that shall be compatible
with the we'll being Of the slaves them.
selves, with the sfaety Of the colonies,
and with a fair and equitable considera-
tion ofthe interests Of private property"
On the 10th of March, in the present
year, Mr.. Canning, the prime minister
of that government, stated to the House
the measures which had been adopted
in pursuance Of the above resolutions
from which statement have extracted
some particulars for the entertainment
and instruction ofmy fellow citizens.
1t is proper, in the first place, to OBJ
serve that the British Colonies, in the
West Indies, arc Of two classes the one
class is governed by authorities formed
after the model Of the mother country
in those, every proposition for the anne
Iteration Of the condition Of the slaves, j.
uniformly and violently rejected.-In the
other class Of colonies, the government
Of Great Britain rules without the inter
vention Of Legislative Assemblies, ant
in these it was determined to establish

sided at the latter, should have considered II
an honor. But Cato has been fortunate in tel
ling single truth, but that is strangely inter-
hrded with misrepresentation. 1t is that all the
anti-convention candidates in St. Clair, are OPP
posed to the call of convention. This is SO,
and were it not, some of Cato's principal pa
irons, might longer possess the means OF in
juring, and Of disgracing the people.
But Cato stupidity charges me with being
the main protector of the nominating system,
among the anti-conventionists, for the purpose
of union and concert and in the next breath
charges me with copying and modifying the
Greene resolutions, which he says were in SUBJ
stance the same. lfthe plan had been before
in operation in Greene, how could have pro-
jecteditf
Thus it appears that Cato is detected in
causing falsehoods to be published, and of
suppressing the truth. Let the people de-
termine how long the finger of scorn shall be
pointed at a man who has thus dishonored his
own. credibiity. My object is only to correct
presentations.

The convention party in St. Clair
