IT'S done The Iore agony is over !!
And Illinois still reposes in the arms of
legitimate Freedom -
The returns OF The election, though
bu' partially received, shew that the
Friends Of Freedom have triumphed, by
decisive and overwhelming majority,
over the Friends of SIavery-the dis
turhers of The peace ofthe State, and con-
spirators against the tranquility and har-
mony OF the Union.
Upon this event, SO auspicious to our
future prosperity and happiness, every
true lover of his country will rejoice. The
religious aud moral part Of the commu-
nifty, who have buffeted the storm, may
congratulate themselves upon the con-
summation and happy termination of their
benevolent labors; and they will consi-
der themselves as amply compensated
for the personal violence and scurriIous
rawlings which they have experienced
from the pimps Of an aristocraiic junto.

FINISHES business for the new coroner
Big More, with his senses sobered,
retires to his farm contented, while Mr..
rockingham bustles about as meddle-
some as ever. The political parson as
sumes his lawful calling, and all the
world jog on as formerly.
Thus that which began in a Farce
ends in most horrible Tragedy-the
people resume their rights, the curtain
falls and the scene closes.
N. B. AS this tragicaI farce will never
be performed again in this state, those
who wish to avail themselves Of read
ing, had better send in their names to
the Convention groceries" who are
authorised to receive subscriptions.

From the New-York American.


Messrs. Ed,tors.--A great discovery
is thought to have been made lately in
milking cows. The old way is entirely
changed, by introducing into the teat a
rye straw or some sort of tube, through
which the milk is evacuated. Now this
is no new invention. | have known
boys who did not love to milk, practice
this method many years ago.-The tact
is that il is an invention OF ia=iness, and
will not answer any good purpose. The
first objection is, tina, by drawing off the
contents of the bag in this way, tho cow
in one week will no, yield as much milk
as formerly by one third. The dugs re-
quire handling and pressure, (Which
somewhat IN effect resembles the suck
ing of the calt) to stimu late the secreting
organs OF the bag into full and perfect
action. This is the ordination o. MA
TuRE, goddess who loathes and rejsc,s
all interference with the economy OF her
works.
Another difficulty is, that in general
COW May be MIXED in the ordinary way
much sooner than she can be famhed
of, A hard milking COW tina. pes' ct
the mik-maid) nigh, alter the case. A
third difficulty remains to be tested: hut
a cozu f,hisioIogist may as well settle the
question new as ever. The contracting
power, which at the extremity of the
teat like a sentinel guards the escape Of
the milk, until dolly relieved by suction,
pressure, or the rye straqo, must be We
ry soon injured by The habnna! introduc-
ton OF a pumping instrument, tap and
iasset, or whatever the new Invention
may be called. There must be more
or less muscular sensibilny in an organ
designed to control and give, after the
manner of sphincter muscle; and
where there is such sensibility, it is GER
tain it may soon be destroyed by the
continued application of a foreign and
inmate subsistence. The power, there
fore, naturally given to the teat OF an
animal to retain the milk when secre,cd
may be destroyed, and thus the contents
of the bag, even If secretion were to con-
tinue, would voluntary escape. Please
to make these facts known for the pro-
lection and benefit of your country rea-
slers. DAIRYMAN.

Mr.. HOOPER Warren,
SIR-By letterpublishcd in the Spec
tator of the Sd inst. l perceive you adj
dressed Col. Post on the subject of my
communication, concerning the memo
rial presented to Congress, praying for
land in the Arkansas Territory.
The circumstance alone of writing to
Col. Post Justlfies the inference, that you
doubted the truth Of my statement.
Although l am aware oil the object Of
the many unjust accusations against me,
and notwithstanding my distaste for
newspaper quibbies; in justice to ruth,
my friends and myself, must repeat to
you and the pubic, that, whatever have
stated is correct; and as it would seem,
that attempts have been made by Mr..
Cook, to cast unjust reflections on Col.
Post, conceive it my duty to remove
them. Col. Post in presenting the me-
mortal in my behalf, was no doubt acluat-
ed by feelings of friendship, and from
our intimacy was perfectly justified IN go
doing: From conversations had between
US heretofore on this subject, he knew
he was NEE ing my wishes and expecta-
tons, and acting in accordance herewith,
nothing could, therefore, be more unjust
than to subject Col. Post 10 the least
censure for the part he has acted in this
transaction. Yours. sc.

The Philadelphia Freeman's journal,

the news probable, and that if true the
movement at Natanzas is likely to be
followed by similar change through

an apprehension Of the people of color

Lord Byron's G,ecian Orphan
Daring the massacre ofthe Greeks by
the Tulk,, a, Scio, a Greek boy, about
eight years old, whose parents and
kindred were sava9ely hutchered by
the inhdeis, crept instinctively into an
oven of his paternal home, to escape
the general slaughter. He remained
there two days without any nutriment
whatever, when, at the expiration of
the second day, he was providen'ially
discovered, senselcss and exhausted
The late Lord Byron having been full
~ Uniformed of these singular facts, i'm

history of hi, preservation, and the sad
havoc OF HI, race, endeared the child

fection: He was constantly with his
L)rdship, to the last 10 ,meni OF his ex

PLATED CANDLEs.-Every

body knows what are plated candle
sticks, but every body does not know
what plated candles are although they
are as common as plated candlesticks:
they are manufactured as follows. The
maker dips the cotton and the incipient
candles from time to time, until they
are nearly finished, in tallow OF every
inferior description; and when they
have almost attained their required
thickness, be dips them in another
mould, containing fine tallow, TO give
them finishing coat. The outside
bears the same comparison with the
inside, as the shell OF the egg does to It's
yolk; when burning you will Ind me
inside consume faster than the outside
the melted grease resembling oilin tai
low lamp. These candles are usually
sold to oil and candler's shops, who re,
tail them a penney cheaper than the tai
low gamblers. Plated candles are at
almost any price; you may discover
them by their smell.--There are other
plated articles which we shall strip OF

The lovers passed three days in raptures mex
pressible it was not till the fourth that Ademda
thought of leaving the house to enjoy the cool
evening air. After he had walked about as long as
he pleased, he began to feel weary, and directed
his steps towards home. Not far from his house he
saw well dressed man walking to and fro ; he
seemed to have some particular object III view and
no sooner did he perceive that he was observed,
than he precptately retreated, under cover OF the
dusk. sWhat p said Ademdai to himself, SIS it

searching look At length unable longer to represss
his jealousy, he inquired in tremulous voice, whe
