HOUSE OF REPRES ENTATlYES.
Monday, AhrH l9.


After the reservation Of some peh-
tons, the Speaker presented 10 the
House communication from the Hon.
Ninian Edwards, in relation to charge
made by The Secretary of the Treasury
against him, of having given in false
statements before committee OF the
House, appointed to inquire into the
transactions of the Secretary with the
Western Banks.
A motion was made by Mr.. Floyd to
Law he communication on the table.
Mr.. Kreamer rose amid some excite
ment, aud called for the reading OF it.
The Speaker decided that ii was IN or
der for any member to demand the read
ing.
After some conversation, Mr. Kreamer
withdrew his motion, " hen Mr.. Warhe Id
renewed ii, believing that the House
could not act on any communication,
correctly, without an understanding oil
its import.
The clerk then proceeded to read the
communication, and after he had com
pleted about one half Of it, Mr.. Warii Id
withdrew his motion, which MIR. Moore,
of A labama, renewed, when The whole
Of it was read.
Mr.. 2ucker, of Va. moved the print
ING of the communication, and went on
10 make some remarks upon its language
and spirit.
Mr.. Hebster observed, his first wish
was to preserve the dignity and charac-
ter of the House in mater SO delicate
as the present. He said one OF two
courses presented itself to the considera-
ton of the House, either to order the
printing OF the communication. or TO re-
fer il TO a select committee. He was IN
favor of reference OF the whole subject
20 a select committee, as the c0mmunica-
ion had already been read. II any gen
temen would move such reference, be
would give il bis support.
Mr.. Ftoyd after some observations,
moved that the subject be referred to
select committee.
Mr. Liuermore hoped it would be sui.
ferred to lie on he table.
On the question being put on refer
ring the communication, with the docu-
ments to select committee, and to print
them--Mr Forsyth made some rem arks
upon he characterof Mr.. Edwards, WHEN
Mr.. Wright withdrew his motion 10

a select committee was determined IN
the affirmative.

Fellow Citizens Of Illinois,
As friend and we'll w;sher to your
happiness and prosperity, | wish to sub
nit few thoughts, facts, and obser' a.
tions to you, respecting the great ques-
ton that now agilates our state. Ii is a
we'll known fact, that the most honest
and influential part OF the convention
party, acknowledge their object is the
introduction Of slavery into our now free
and happy state, by calling convention;
and their conduct, likewise, tes!ilics the
same, from the beginning: therefore none
need to be ignorant OF this, Tho take any
pains to inform themselves, or feel in-
terested either way.
Now my fellow citizens, I humbly re-
quest you to take another view OF the
su blect, at this late period of The debate.
Il is universally granted that The practice
of enslaving aud tratlicking in human
flesh aud blood, is one of the most hei-
nous crimes that can be committed
against holy and sin avenging God, by
all those who have any sense OF moraii-
ty, religion, or tn cir accountability to
their Maker. Therefore shall say no
more on this subject, in moral point OF
view, only his, that 1t is asserted that
.the admission Of slavery into this state
will not add to the number oil those who
are now III slavery, therefore the crime
cannot be chargeable 10 u.s." think
very differently. Etfor.s are making to
colonize all those negroes that are Tree,
and many are becoming willing Isome
from principle, and others from sad ex-
perience) 10 lbera'e their slaves. 1t is
easy to see that the extension OF slavery,
strengthens the bonds oil those who are
in servilude, by suspendiDg those evils
that naturally grow out OF slavery, and
thereby rendering the exertlons Of the
! philanlhropist more Intellectual. In this
sense ii is plain to be seen that it even
tualIy adds TO the number OF slaves.
Each state in the Union is independent
oil the others in its own domestic econo-
my, therefore as we are now free IRON
this curse and have the power Of remain
ing so, The crime undoubtedly becomes
ours by admitting it here.
But says one, " they are already slaves,
and do no, become so by being admitted
here" Well, then, let them remain
where the people are willing TO be an
swcrable for these crimes. =" But it will
mitigate the sufferings of the slaves, by
coming into this land of plenty, where
they can have plenty to eat and wear"
Fine logic indeed 1t is mercy for the

In the Spectator of July II, 1919, is a
letter from gentlemen on a visit to H.
lnois, to his friend in Kentucky, dated
July OH, 1919.
AS this letter was written some years
before the prevalence OF the Convention
Fever, by a gentleman who had tho
roughly investigated the subiect-a ma.
tive and citizen Of slaveholding state,
andwho therefore could not be unduly
biased in favor of our Institutions, his
opinion is well worthy the attention OF
the convention party; for which reason
it is hoped that the printers of that party
will not fail to lay the following extracts
before their readers:
Alter describing the natural advanta-
ges OF this state, the writer proceeds as
follows -
"Such are the prospects Of Illinois,
in sectional or local point OF view. In

On the evening OF the 18th inst. De-

Representatives of The United States ar
rived at this place, with summons Tor
The Hon. Ninian Edwards to attend
committee of the House, to give tes,imo-
ny against the Secretary of the Treasury
for official misconduct.
An article from the Washington Re-
publican, which will be found in our
columns, will give the reader an outline
of the matter to be investigated.
The summons found Mr.. Edwards in
disposed, in bed, under the operation of
medicine, which he had found it neces-
ssry 10 take. He, however, departed
early the next day for Washington. And
it is hoped that sickness may not retard
his passage, or prevent his arrival in due
season for, we understand, he carries
with him evidence OF the most decisive
character against Mr.. Crawford, which
he procured at the Land Office in this

More Indian distur6ances.-We learn,
by gentlemen from Batesvlle, that the
most serious alarm exIs s among the CT
tizens above that place, on White River,
in consequence o the disorderly move
ments OF the Shawnees, Delawares, and
other Indian tribes who have been re-
moved to that section of our Territory
within the last two or three years. Some
of the old and friendly chiefs have given
notice to the white inhabitants, that they
cannot restrain the srdor OF their head
strong young men, who are resolutely
bent on numbering the whites, and the
strongest apprehensions are entertained
by them, that they will very soon carry
their savage designs into effect. Two
or three old and respectable chiefs, find
ing their efforts unavaling to maintain
peace on the part of the young and
refractory men Of their nation, We under
stand have actually removed from the
country, and are returning to their for
mer residence.
The while people, as may we'll be
supposed, are panic struck. Some have
already left their habitatlon and improve
ments, and many others are preparing
to leave as soon as possible; and it is
the opinion of some of the most intelli-
gent men in independence county, that
the country above Batesvile will soon
be abandoned to the Indians, unless some
efficient measures are promptly adopted
10 secure our unprotected citizens from
the aggression Of their savage neigebors

% THE MEMORY OF A YOUNG LADY, SEEN
Pea THE FIRST TIME ON ASPIRING MORNING.
! love the memory of the hour,
When first in youth found thee;
For infant beauty gently threw
A morning freshness round thee.
A single star was rising there,
With mild and lovely motion;
And scarce the zephyr's gentlest breath
Went DER the sleeping ocean.
love the memory of that hour
II wakes pensive feeling;
As when within the winding shell
The playful winds are stealing.
Il tells my heart of those bright years,
Ere hope went down in sorrow,
When all the joys of yesterday
Were painted on tomorrow.
Where art thou now? thy once-lov'd flowers
Their yellow leaves are twining;
And bright and beautiful again
That single star is shining.
But where art thou? the Bonded grass
A dewy stone discloses;
And loves bright footsteps print the ground,
Where all my peace reposes.
Farewell! my tears are not for thee -
'Twere weakness to deplore thee;
Or vainlv mourn thine absence here,
While angels half adore thee.
Thy days were few, and quickly told:
Thy short and mournful story
Hath ended like the morning star,
That mclts in deeper glory.
