attempt was made to provide in the bill, for
an enumeration of factories and distilleres,

determined Congress to withhold from the
people this information, we cannot distinctly
see.-BostOn Palladium.

ELEcTToNEERING IN ILLINOIS. The can
dldates Tor Governor and Lieut.. Governor
OF Illinois, are Mr.. Kenney and Mr.. Casey.
The former is Baptist, and the latter a
Methodist preacher. The electioneering
address calls upon the people of that State,
to rejoice that =" Christ is preparing the way
to set up, in that State, glorious and
everlasting Kingdom, the Kingdom of the
Saints 1t calls the candidates, "two burn
ing and shining lights, bright luminaries of
the Church militant on Earth. Praised be
the Lord be is raining down blessings on
his Saints in Illinois. They shall be god
y people; Christ himself by his servants,
shall he at the head of affairs" Again
1.-The two Churches, to which thew be-
long, are to be united in this work of right
eousness, until the kingdom of the Saints
shall triumph over the world, the flesh and
the devil; and the great hosts of the ar
mics of darkness shall be overwhelmed with
an everlasting destruction. Then shall our
lllustrlous brethren, Kenney and Casey 90
forth armed with the sword of Gideon. car
rylng the candle of the Lord in their hands :;
they shall smite the Philistine, even from
Dan to Beer-she-ba; and illuminate the
dark corners of the earth with the light of
heavenly day. What glorious time, for
the godly in Christ Jesus, who shall live to
see it."
Most extraordinary language truly for an
electioneering address.-.Salem Observer.
