Travellers from Springfield report that
extraordinary disclosures have come to
light touching Judge Young's payment
of the January interest on the internal i'm
provement loan. We forbear repeating
the rumors. in the hope that an exposition
will be made exculpating that gentleman
from all improperly in the transaction.
A good deal has been said in the Spring
field papers, pro and con, during the au-
tumn and winter, about large sum (5O,-
900 dollars) in the hands of Judge Young
unaccounted for; but as the matter implied
degree of moral delinquency which we
could not credit without the fullest evil
dence, we declined noticing it. We pre-
sumo Judge Young can satisfactorily ex-
plain his conduct in this as well as in
every other agency in which he has been
employed by the state. Peoria Reg.

The way-bill that came yesterday Iron

Of having been concerned in the many

good things from this country.
This is very bad for us, and Monsieur
Harrison and Monsieur Tyler should
not come in Washington with the Log
Cabin and the Cider-they shall do very
much harm to the French trade.
France loves prosperity to the De.
