for we are among the admirers of Mr.. Calhouns

with the construction of his breeches, OF the shape
Of his toe.nals.

We presen, our readers with an abrevated view,
OF the Report of the Secretary Of State Of New

laws Tor the relief OF the poor:
The permanent paupers in the State amount to
G,896.
The temporary poor, who receive occasional re-

ted form total OF 22ll paupers and poor occa-
sionay relieved.
Among the permanent paupers are 44o dots
and lunatcs 237 persons who are blind; 92o who
are aged and extremely in6rm 797 who are lame,

2604 children under IA years of age. There are
1887 Laupers Of both sexes, although not IN the
Vigor Of life, may yet be considered capable oil earn
ing their subsistence, ii proper labor were assign

form it, and whose laoors might produce at least
$4,000 annually to the State.
OF the number of permanent paupers 1858
male persons who were reduced to Pauperlsm by
drunkenness, and with them their wives, amounting
10 9S9, also their children to the number OF 2loI.
Intemperance has produced more than two thirds
Of all the permanent, and more than hall oil the
occasional paupers
The male paupcrs amount to 1888; the fe'
male to II, 800 of whom $685. are aliens or nalu-
raized foreigners; 1928 native citizens. There
are 1888 children under ii years oil both classes

ance OF five months, under the superin-
tendency of its originates, Messrs. Ro-

utmost care and unremitted attention
have been thereon bestowed. Notwith-
standing the total want OF suitable books,
and the privilege granted to the students
OF going to hear preaching, when they
pleased, which occupied nearly one half
Of the time, as most of them lived con-
venlent to several places of public wor-
ship, considerable progress has been
made in study. Besides reading large
portion OF scripture daily; while some
made good advances therein, others to-
tally memorized the shorter catechism.
By the younger class, allotments of sa-
cred writ were committed with facility,
and apparent delight.

FOR THE SPECTATOR.
MIR. WIGGINS' FERRY,

This establishment to carry people and
their ftu~der across the Father Of 7oa-
terS," was thought by some loggerheads
TO be pune convenience, inasmuch as il
was somewhat difficult for citizens ofi,ii-
nois and travellers from abroad 10 get into
the land OF slaves, without some vehicle
oil transportation. Blu. it seems that some
OF the 7Vtse heads of this county have
made the profound discovery, that instead
OF being matter OF utility, it has become
an alarming nuisance; and the good
people are now GENEROUSLY urged to
petition the legislature to raise its strong
arm and put an end 10 the power and pri-
vl'ege OF taking the peoples money for
helping them over to ST. Louis mark Ell,
Some OF the mos, important reasons why
such petition should be filled I'd with
subscribers, in St. Clair county, and why
Its prayer should be granted, may be ar
ranged under the following heads:
/. 1t is known to the writer, and the
public generally, that tue proprietor OF
the ferry has, IN divers ways and ct re-
peaed times, insulled tile public spirit
OF ST. Clair county, by constructing roads
in the county, and building bridges over
Cahukia creek, in which no doubt be
has expended about one thousand dol
lars, the most or all OF Which was real
lied from travellers and the people who
pass over to market Now as it is we'll
known that neither the county authority,
nor the public spirit of the people would
make road on the American Bottom,
or have built bridge over the aforesaid
creek, for private individual to do this
IN open defiance of the expression Of the
public voice, can lie considered in no
other light than gross insult TO the
county. 1t is practically saying, +" Gen
tlcmen, you don't appear disposed to
open or keep up communication to the
river, | Will assume the power and ex-
pend my money in your business" Be-
sides, 1t is we'll known that al the last
session OF the legislature, law was pass
ed authorizing an individual TO erect and
keep up toll bridge over that very
creek; but before the gentleman cou Id
set up his gate, or even build bridge,
Mr.. Wiggins had a new and substantial
bridge finished, over which the public
were required to pass zvithout haying
toll, and all this was done in the broad
face of day, and before the eyes Of all the
people And when that bridge was swept
away by the very unusual food OF las,
June. what does this same individual do,
but in direct defiance Of the public ex-
ample every where setin that part of the
county, proceeds 10 erect another bridge
in the same place and on The same terms.
2. But since MIR. W. has thus tres
passed upon the rights Of the county, by
building bridges and making roads near
his ferry, | am disposed to put him down,
because he has not made reads through
Ill the quagmires, aid bridges over ell
the sloughs in the different directions
through the American bottom. Now
every body knows thsithere is not road
