Mr.. JEFFERsoN.---We have not APPROX
ed of any of the propositions to raise mon
ey for the relief Of the author of the De-
claratlon Of independence, except in the
way in which he himself has expressed u
willingness TO be relicved--supposng that
we acted in perfect accordance with his
secret wishes, if any he has, on the subject:
but we observe that in New York, aud els
where, it's proposed Is purchase tickets in
the lottery for the disposal Of his property,
and burn them on The lh Of Juiy This
cannot, we should suppose, be other than
pleasing to our venerable friend--and GER
tanly, is the happiest scheme yet thought
of, to afford the relief needed and pay a
beautiful compliment to one who, on hat
d1G Wty y,rrs before, was at his post, "and
pledged his life, his fortune and his sacred
honor" IN support of the declaration, that
"thcse states we're, and Of right ought to
be, free, sovereign and Independent"

INpJASs.--A general removal of the
Indians, from DE whole state of Missouri,
il now nearly accomplished. The Kan
isas have removed, the Shawanese were a.
bout 10 follow, and the Iowas are making
arrangements for the same purpose. The
proceedings had in respect to this matter
are highly approved of IN Missouri, and
they appear to have been conducted with
much moderation. We hope, however,
that some settled home for the Indians may
be established, and that, in future, new
territories or states, will not be made
without special reference to the lands Civ
en- TO them in exchange for those which
they have rclinquisbed. Ibid
TRAvELLING,--The seemingly pre-
sumptive declaration made by Oliver Ev-
ans, in the presence of the editor Of this
paper when boy, Gin 1870 or l79l), that
"thc man was then living who would see
the Ohio and the Mississippi covered with
steam boats, and that the child was born
who would travel from Philadelphia to
Boston in one day." is rapidly approach
ing fulflmcnt. The journey from Phila-
dclphia to Ncw-lork is now made in less
than ten hours, and from New York to
Boston in twenty three hours and twenty
ty-two minutes. The other part Of the
prophecy was long since completed. ID.

The present crisis in our great politi4
cal concerns calls aloud for the solemn
consideration of every member of the
republic The due and regular course
of the laws are SO frequently obstruct-
ed, and the administration of Justice
rendered so preearious and uncertain,
that the whole fabric of our political in
situations are in danger of speedy dis
solution Repeated efforts for many
years past have been made by large
aud respectable portions Of our fellow
citizens, to effect reform-numerous
petitions have been preferred from time
TO time to our legislative body, TO pro-
vide by law for the call of convention
to revise and amend the constitution Of
our state, and there being good caus-
es to believe, that very large majority
of the good people of the republic are
DESTROYS of reformation, the opinion of
small ma ority Of our legislature to
the contrary Notwithstanding. On So
lemn consideration whereof, be it resol-
we'd:
Isl, That our existing constitution
has failed to perpetuate the great OBJ
jects OF its original institution has and
hat nothing can save us from all the
horrors of civil discord and confusion,
but wise temperate, and timely inter-
position Of the sovereign power of the
peoples to appIy the proper corrective.
Cd, That we attribute many OF the
political evils we no" endure, to the un.
equal representation in the house of de-
legates-and that this inequality is so
gross a violation Of the equal rights Of
the ci'izen, so repugnant to every prin-
ciple of free government, that it ,ciH
not be much longer submitted TO.
3d., That we will, lin cooperation
with our fellow citizens throughout the
state, friendy to reform, make another
effort to obtain legislative provision for
taking the opinion Of The people, on the
great and vital question of { Convention
or no Conrention," and if we shall be a.
gain disappointed, that we will consider
ourselves justified in resorting to ulteri.
or and energetic measures, for attaining

solemnly instructed to use their best exc

lature to obtain the passage of a law for
ascertainikg the opinion ofthe people Ola
the question of convention or no con-
vention," and respectfully invite our fell
low citizens throughout the state to in
strnct their representatives. on this impor-
tant subject. TO THE EDITOR.

PHILADELPHIA. March Is.

Yesterday, we are informed by some
Of our old residents, was the anniver-
sary of the greatest storm ever known
in Philadelphia, and to day and to NOR
row may be added to it, for it lasted for
three days, commencing on the 18th OF
March 1896, and continuing TO the 18th.
The wind blew so powerfully, that there
was little or no tide in the Delaware
TIE vessels in the Docks were lifted high
and dry,-the underpinning OF tie
wharves were laid bare, and persons
walked from the jersey shore TO Wind
m island The storm extended across
the Atlantic Ocean, and few vessels ex-
posed to its fury escaped without dam
age.
