Mr. Calhoun supported Mr. Buchanan and spoke

Mr. Rives replied to Messrs. Buchanan and Calhoun.

THE TlMES.-A new year has just set in and in
spite of all the promises nude by whl9gery things are
IN a worse state than when Van Buren, left the Presi,

Of the times seems be felt in our sister cities; among
those who have dipt in speculation alarge commission
house in Balt has given way connected with coal
companies in Pennsylvania. AT The East heavy fail
uro has taken place, embracing liabilities as high
as $500,O0O." large milling establishment in
Rochester has gone by the hoard with loss of $500
0f0. The people of Mississippi have refused to pay
their State debts; A large meeting has been held in
Philadelphia calling on Pennsylvania to do the samo
thing; Indiana paper calls on the people oflha State
to follow in tho wake. The general Government is
bankrupt with debt of $l6,O0OOOo. bml before
Congress 10 borrow $16 600 more, and plan for
Government paper currency Of $4,000, eCOto to back

So we see the new year commencing with instead Of
"Beer times, individuals embarrassed, States embar.
rassed, and the National government embarrassed All
in debt; all out& credit What is The causel The
answer is the Credit system. Ii has worked all the evil
that now hangs over The country 1t has induced men
to abandon the honest pursuits life, and run head
long into speculation in the vain endeavor 10 make or-
tunes without work. II has induced States to borrow
money for the purposes ofiuterna improvement with

that shond have went to meet lis expenses and to lay
the foundation for public debtthat will never, never

ton. 1t is correct, as stated by the COM
mittee, tina, the Legislature passed an act
authorizing the commissioners of Lasalle
county to employ a competent person to
make a complete index to the county re-
cords. On the 23d Feb. 1871, and. that
in pursuance of this law, the commission
ers gave notice that they would receive
proposals for the job. In consequence Of
