ILLINOIS CANAL.

The bill to aid this State in opening the ina
portant communication between the Illinois
river and Lake Michigan; which, as our read.
ers will recollect, was reported to the Senate
by MIR. Thomss, has been lost by the casting
vote of the Vice President. We pretend not
TO assign motives to MIR. Calhoun, but must
say that we are disappointed in our expecta-
lions of him. However popular the projec.
may be with the Administration, and however
determined that gentleman may be to oppose
the tavorte measures of Mr.. Adams, we still
hoped that Mr.. Calhoun's views were too en-.
larged to admit Of such an exhibition of hos
tility. II MIR. Calhoun were the representa-
tive of South Carolina, it would appear differ
emily for, possibly, the policy of that state
may be opposed to the measure. But his re.
aton is directly to the Union; and the policy
of the United States States is undoubtedly to
facilitate communication between the differ.
ent sections and moreover the voice of the
should be borne in mind that similar bill-or
one at least having the same Objects still
pending before the House. We hope it may
be so arranged in the details, as to make il less
Objectionable to the Senate, or its presiding
officer.
Thank the Delaware Gazette for its disin-
terested counsel shall Gas is usual in the
matter Of advice) observe just so much OF il as
may suit our own notions. The dan
ger of losing the immense patronage we now
enjoy-the printing Of some thirty or forty
laws-is increased; for Illinois now boasts a
fourth newspaper! ....-.

With regard to the cause Of the
Greeks, il overwhelms me with grief to
state, that the las, ,idings from them, by
the Ontario, are Of the most melancho-
ly cast, and leave a strong conviction
that, without the aid OF some christian
power, their fate mus, ere long be seal
ed, and all hope of their emancipation
be totally extinguished.
+" The Egyptians had scrs an addi-
tional force Of 5000 men into the Morea,
and we're again upon the march to Mis-
solonghi. Napoli di Romania is Sc
cond Gibraltar, and was well supplied
with provisions and munitions of war.
Great respect was manifested by the
Greeks towards our Commodore, who,
l believe sincerely sympa.hises with
them in their present condition; he vi
sited the authorities twice, and upon the
landing Of his gig, was each time salut-
ed from the castle in the harbor.
Last summer, while entering the
Archipelago, between the Islands OF Ce-
rigo and Gambia, we fell in with and was
boarded by the commander of Grecian
brig Of war, upon a cruise; he very
promptly furnished US a pilot to the
Island Of Milo, where we got others for
Smyrna. While on board, he was con-
Quoted throughout the ship, and his ad-
m;ralioD Of her surpasses description.
Among other remarks he observed, that
with ono such ship he could sweep from
the Dardanelles to the Atlantic every
Turkish flag tina, Hoated. He regretted
that in the wisdom and benevoleUCe Of
the American people, they had no, sen,

bill Is desirable one, and that the stock
will be valuable TO the government,
should Congress consent To- take part
of il.
The bill to aid the State of Illinois in
opening a canal to connect the Illinois
river and Lake Michigan, was also dis
cussed in the same committee OF the
whole 10 which the Louisville Canal bill
was referred. From the brief, but very
clear explanation given by Mr.. Cook, Of
the advantages to be derived to the whole
western country, in commercial point
of view, from this work, as we'll as those
to be derived from it by the government
in military point Of view, it appears to
us that there is no work of the kind in
the West that is Of more Importance
A choice between the markets OF New
Orleans and those Of the North, and
which is in great degree to be furnish
ed by this canal, mus, be an object oil the
highest importance TO the people OF the
West. Our attention having been drawn
to this subject by report, that was made
in relation to it at the last session OF Con-
gress, we can with propriety say, that it
deserves the candid and serious conside-
ration of those to whom the decision OF
such matters is conhded--and as this and
the Louisville Canal bills, are subjects
10 no degree connected with party poll
tics, it would seem that all parties might
fairly unite upon them.

On Monday lasI meeting was held al
the Cly Hotel, Nsw-York, IN pursuance
Of notice Of the Mayor, "ior The pur-
pose OF dev,sing measures to relieve the
venerable THOMAS JEFFERSON from the
pressure OF ms advertisements" The
meeting, which was very numerously at
tended, without distinction Of parties,

solutions s.s ct,.
WAereas, THOMAS JEFFERSON, one oil
the earlies. friends OF American liberty,
aud the iHu%rious author OF the Decla-
ration oiIndepende0ce, alter more than
fifty years service, In Various public
trusts, finds his patrinonial estate and
other property incumbered, and in dan
ger Of being aIienated by the just claims
of his creditors; and, whereas, an al
most exclusive devotion to the service
Of his country, during that prolracted
period, has in q great measure been the
cause of his present EN- EMBARRASSMENT
Therefore, ResoiUed, That the citi-
zens of the City of New-York view the
affairs of Thomas Jefferson as of a pub
lie concern, and entertaining a most
grateful remembrance of his services in
" times that tried mems SOULS" they
deem it their duty 10 cooperate with
their fellow citizens throughout the Unit
ed States, aud tender to him all the re-
ilef he may require.
Rescued, That, this meeting enter
tains iull and entire confidence that the
people of our " free, sovereign, and in
dependent siates," will not suffer the de-
clining years o: their earliest friend and
venerable Patriot, to be disturbed by the
pressure OF pecuniary claims, or render
cd painful by gloomy annclpations.
RESOLVED, That committee, consist
ing OF ,wen,y-four ci,izens, be appointed
to receive contributions from the inhabI-
lan,s OF this city, with powers to enlarge
their number, and appoint sub-commii-

sails on Monday next. In his speech
yesterday, he stated that he should leave

NEW ORLEAN..- Schooner John, Of
New York. had embarked at Vera Cruz,
cargo OF cochineal and dollars to the
value of $4,000, when northern wind
began blowing with such violence on the
22d March, as TO drive the vessel on
shore, and made her total wreck. The
specie, however, will be saved.
The ship Diana. Of Philadelphia,
bound from Cadiz to New. Orleans, was
captured in the Cult, BY Mexican
cruizer, and sent ipto Vera Cruz, be-
cause she had Spapiards and Spanish
property on board. The vessel, how
ever, has been, subsequently released,
and may be expected here next week.

EDwARDsvILLE. JUNE 2. 1896.

Our readers will perceive that We have
changed the day of publication from Saturday
to Friday Morning. This has been done to
accommodate the greatest number Of our SUBJ
scribers particularly those who live east OF
this place. By this arrangement our subscri-
bers in Greenville will receive the paper on
the day that it is printed, and those at Wanda.
liza the morning following. The citizens OF
Greene county, and the counties above, were
DESTROYS, before the alteration of the time of
arrival of the eastern mail, that, instead Of ~
ing here more than day, (trom Friday NOR
ming till Saturday noon,) it should proceed
directly on. BY the present arrangement
we receive the eastern mail on Monday NOR
ming and the mail which passes through Shaw
neetown end Belleville, and which brings
most of our eastern papers, on Wednesday
evening. The southern mail arrives on Sat.
urday, and proceeds directly on westwardly
and northwardy, but has very little in it. Now
it is evident that the people who live in the
counties bordering on the Mississippi above
this place, are not accommodated by the pre-
sent arrangement; 'as the two principal mails
lie here, one five and the other three days, be-
fore they proceed northwardly our paper.
howeyer,will be but one day old, when it starts
in that direction. We anticipate change, for
the better accommodation of the northern
counties.
We, poor wights Of editors, are sometimes
put to our shifts to make out any thing like
decent paper, especially when, as at present,
the mails are rather barren of interesting mat
ter. We might indeed gather, out of the
scores of newspapers which we receive, from
Maine to Arkansas-and from Missouri to
Georgia, mass of matter sufficient to fill di.
vers such sheets as ours; but the difficulty
lies in culling such as would be acceptable and
useful TO our patrons. The few items of 70.
reign intelligence given to day, are to be
found in nearly all the Eastern and many in.
termediate papers, and literally comprise the
whole we find, worth insertion. 1t happens
too. that our Congressional abstract is more
limited than usual, by reason of the omission
of one or two papers-the order of dates be-
ing thus broken. In this scarcity of better
matter, we have made another selection from
the sketches still circulating. Of Mr.. Rantlolph's
speeches. Although we confess we do not
think them peculiarly adapted to the purposes
of instruction--at least on the subjects by
which they are elicited-yet they will doubt.
less amuse the reader; and at a much cheaper
rate than that at which they entertained the
Senate and people of Washington. They
show too, what sort Of an instrument the op.
position is using.
