CARRYING WEAPONS

Late occurrences in our village, justify,
us in making some remarks upon this bar.
barous practice of carrying arms in com.
pany. We fear that an increased inter.
course with the Mississippi country has had
an effect TO vitia,e public taste and lower the
standard ofmorality in this particular. We
can remember very we'll when any one who
came into peaceful company with dirk
or pistol peeping out Of his bosom was re.
garded with kind Of horror: now nothing is
more common. We know Of several res.
pec.ab!e and we'll bred young men, who
scarcely ever had quarrel, and who from
the known placidity of their temper, will
hardly ever have an enemy, who, never
ihe'tss, in humble imitation of others make
those deadly instruments Fart oft cir or.
dinary Costume. Sword Canes, and even
the hateful BO'cie Knife, are often of late
ostentatiousIy displayed in public. At
time ofgreat public excitement, this prac-
tce might be IN some degree excused,
though never to bcjustifed: Bat in a time
Of quiet like the present, it is chilling to
morality and abhorrent to our social ma.
turcs, for such a practice 10 prevail.
There are particular occasions, for in
stance, where a man had good right to be-
-Ilcva that he was about to be dangerously
assailed when it would be his duty 10 make
preparation for preserving his life: VIC do
le rot find fnult with this, but it is usel,s S and
vulgar practice of going armed in com.
Pany, we obiectto. There is nc her way
Of meeting this vice lhanby pubic op;n or.
1t should therefore, be Reproduced by the
orderly ,isp' d citizens Of the community,
IN such ems as may leave nothing to BE-
6 e;sed at. Abom!nable as d, cling is {
has no: such gross and disgusting features
as the mode oftaking human lif; on fri.
vo!ous preteyts, to which the practice Of
carrying arms generally leads. We call
upon the la,lies, in particular, who are forci.
bly called the retiners of society, to set
there faces against custom so odious.-

MR.. WEBSTER AT PEORIA

The Peoria UlIinois) r R,gister of the Oath ul-

speech in that place on the 2lst. Nearly the
whole town and neighborhood had assembled at
the Court House, and NJ. ". spoke moro than
na hour.
was opposed to all the measures of
the late administration, having reference
to the regulation of tn? currency, from the
word Co Tie late President of the T..
staes, man Of high purpose, OF strong
character, and 4 gallant and successful
soldier, whose honest intentions | have
never questioned, said in 1882, he could
submit a plan by which the monied con.
Germs Of the government would be much
better conducted and carried on. From
that time the experiment has been lin pro-
gress, and what does i. prove? Why, that
grea, a soldier as he was, he was mistaken
in his powers as fnancier. and that The
country is now in condition far worse than
it was then. Instead Of the Bank oGthc l.
States, he has given Us lnnumerable state
banks, as repositories Of the public treas
ure, who act in no concert save the agree
mcnt simultaneously Y to become bankrupt.
IA laugh. Whether they will be as un-
animous to resume specie payments remains
to be seen.
The government is the great receiver
and disburser of the money OF the country,
and it gives character TO tie currency. Its
effect on the currency is similar to the
flowing of your rivers. Your Illinois and
Upper Mississippi flow Oh, till the mighty
