HON. HENRY A. WISE-JU STICE.

A short time since most violent attack on
the character of Mr.. Wise appeared under the
editorial head of the New World On Monday
last the Richmond Wing contained mastery
and noble vindication of Mr. Wise Though
politically hostile, the editor of that paper and
the writer of the vindication, seem to be fully
aware Of the injustice done the Virginia states
man in the New York neutral paper. They
are also aware that personal and groundless
charges made against an exalted character, can
never injurc the standing Of the one so rudely
assailed. On the contrary, all such attempts to
demolish powerful political adversary, but add
to his strength. No friend will abandon him
when vanously slandered and prosecuted, but
many an enemy, Gas we have just SEEM con
WINGED Of the fragrant injustice done, yielding to
the best impulses of the heart, will become his
friend and defender.

Canal F.nnls---:9,atc Bonds, &c.

The reader will find below a letter from
Mr.. G.. Shaw, of England, in reply to one
addressed to him on the subject OF author
izng the sale Of the lands owned by the
state of Illinois and to receive state bonds
at par in payment. Mr.. Shaw was for
merly partner in the house Of Thomas
Wilson a. Co., who. we understand, took
the first stock issued by the state TO pay
the Higgins loan. Mr.. S. is now the prin-
cipal agent Of the house Of Morrison Il
Son, London, who we think hold mil
lion of our bonds on their own account.
We mention these facts that our readers
may fairly understand the source Of the
letter and rate its Importance accordingly.
The writer had no doubt consulted the
Morrisons on the subject Of which he
treats, and it is not improbable they ap'
prove the plan Of selling our lands fol
bonds. We have no boubt the subject, il
some shape, will come under the consid

will commence next Monday.
We also learn that another plan ha
been submitted to our bond holders il
Europe, to which reference is made ii

Arab Horses.

A mos, moving incident, illustrative of the cx.
traordinary strength as well as attachment, Of the
Arab horses, is given by Lamartine, in his beau-
tiiul travels in the East;
AN Arab chief, with his tribe, had al
tackled IN the nighta caravan OF Damascus,
and plundered it; when loaded with their
spoil, however,,hc robbers were vertaken
in their return by some horsemen OF the
Pacha of Acre, who killed several and
bound the remainder with cords. In this
state of bondage they brought one OF the
prisoners, named Abou ell Marck, TO Acre.
and laid him, bound hand and foot, wound
ed as he was, at the entrance of their tent,
as they slept during the night. Kept
awake by the pain of his wounds, tho
Arab heard his horses neigh at a little
distance. aud being DESTROYS TO stroke, for

OTTAWA, ILLINOIS, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1912.

debt may, am confident, be so far redu-
ced, as to be within the means Of the State
to pay. Whether the plan | have detail
ed is the best, will not undertake TO say;
doubtless ii is susceptible of improvements;
investigation and scrutiny is invited, and
shall be thankful for suggestions from
any source. | am only anxious TO de-
wise the best means to ensure the early
completion of our canal and ultimately re-
lieve the State from debt. But, general
proposition | feel warranted in saying,
that it is in the power Of the State, by ac-
ting honestly, by doing what she can to-
wards the payment of interest, by secu-
ring her creditors with the means she has,
to complete the canal, pay off her debt,
preserve her faith, and regain her credit,
who then will hesitate when by making a
small sacrifice, we can effect so much
good? Suppose the resources of this
State placed in the hands of single indi-
vdual, of ability, honesty and intelligence,
and will any one doubt but in few years
he would pay off, and have something
left still. And may we not hope that the
affairs of the State will be conducted with
rs much wisdom, as those of an indlvi-
dual? Our condition then is far from
hopeless. 1t needs onl y prudence, hon
esty, wisdom and economy in our public
counsels, and we shall weather the
Storm"
Another source Of encouragement, is in
the rapidly increasing wealth, and pros
perity of the State. This increase is
rapid almost beyond conception. What
a contrast between our State now, and lis
condition eight years ago. eight years to
come, under wise legislation, will pro-
duce still more striking changes.
A few days ago, | was at Aurora, on
Fox River at the Agricultural Fair. |
saw there the elements of our prosperity.
| saw the products of our prairie farmers,
as we'll as specimens of that mechanical
skill, which is doing so much to improve,
to elevate, and ameliorate, in every way,
the condition of man. There was dense
crowd Of Industrious and intelligent far
mers, surrounded with specimens of The
finest stock beautiful and ilourishing
village, with its schools and churches ;
luxurious and highly cultivated farms in
every direciion--all indicating rapid and
healthy prosperity. When looked upon
this scene, said, these are not the men,,
nor is this the State, to repudiate a just
debt. Ten years ago that lively scene
slept in the unbroken solitude Of nature.
The fat and useless vegetation, rotted at
ease, in the depths Of the forest, and on
the lap of the broad prairie. The whole
land now blossoms like garden. The
air is vocal with the mingled tumults Of a
vast and prosperous population; every
rolling prairie, smiles with abundant har.
vests; every meander, almost, in tia,
beautiful river, shelters thriving village
and every thing denotes happy activity
in every branch Of social occupation.
There Is then, no occasion for dspalr.
Far, very far from it. Illinois has re-
resources adequate to her own redemp'
lon.-Ihe time will come, ii she is only
The Illinois free trader and LaSalle County commercial advertiser. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1841-1843, 1842-12-09

The available resources Of the State,
consist of the canal. and canal lands. in
ternal Improvement lands, railroads, rail-
road iron, and 100000 acres, OF mos!
valuable land selected under the late dis
tribulion bill. There are of canal lands
unsold about 100000 acres, including
several highly valuable town sales.--future
is due Coz lands sold about one million Of
dollars, including forfeited lots. The In
ternal improvement debt is about five mil
lions, and the canal debt, it is believed
something less than five millions of dollars.
Now the first great question to be settled
is how can we complete the canal and
provide for the canal debt: complete the
canal, and its income, and the canal lands,
rendered of immense value by It's compile
ton, will relieve the State from any
trouble in relation to the canal bonds. !
regard the completion of the canal, and
the payment of the State debt, as SO init
mately connected that the former is abso-
lutely necessary to effect the latter. l
look TO the canal, and canal lands, as to
the source of the great sinking fund, from
whence the State bebt is to be paid. Bat
the value of these lands, and these canal
revenues, depend on the completion OF
the canal. But how shall this be done !
Can the State do ii! Ifso, let it be urged
forward with every possible energy. But
| can perceive no means by which the
State can do it at present. Money she
has none, and she cannot borrow. A
very long time must elapse before she
could complete itby money obtained from
taxation. TO throw the canal lands in
discrima!ely into market, before the COM
pletion of the canal, would be wantonly
TO sacrifice her only great resource; and
would still leave the work unfinished. Is
there any other mode by which this great
work can be finished! The eyes of in
telligent men, are very naturally turned
towards the canal bond-hoders, for further
aid, and there is little doubt but they vii!
afford it, in some form. Their security
for loans already made, depends SO much
upon the completion Of the canal, thai
every one is looking for some proposition
from them. The State in reference &c
the canal, stands in the position Of mar
who has attempted TO build magnificent
structure, which when completed will pay
large rent, and yield good interes
upon tie capital invested but which Il
worthless until finished. Let us carry
out the illustration by supposing this in
dividual to have borrowed money to
large amount and invested it in this slruc
ture, and pledged the building and lis an

THE PAUPER's DEATH BED.
BY MRS. soUTHEr.

Tread softly-bow the head
In reverent silence low
No passing bell doth TOLL
Yet an immortal soul
Is passing row.
Stranger, however great,
With lowly reverence bow:
There's one in that poor shed,
One by that psltry bed,
Greater than thou.
Beneath that beggar's roof,
Lo! earth doth keep his state.
Enter--no crowds attend
Enter--no guards defend
IHis palace gate.
That pavement damp and cold,
No smiling courtiers tread;
One silent woman stands,
Lifting with meagre hands
A dying head.
No mingling voices sound
An infant walls alone;
A sob suppress'd-again
That short deep grasp, and then
The parting groan.
Oh change-oh. wondrous change
Burst are the prison bars
This moment there, SO low,
So agonized, and now
Beyond the stars
Oh! changc-stupendous change!
There lies the souless clod.
The sun eternal breaks
The new immortal wakes
Wakes with his God.
