y7.It will be seen from the head of
this number of our paper that Mr.. l.
Adams has become a co-partner in the
Radical office, whose qualifications for
the responsible and important station
that he now occupies, will doubtless
make this arrangement highly satisfacto-
~ to the patrons of the Radical. The
present arrangement will enable US to
make our paper, situated as it is, in the
midst of a fertile and populous region OF
country, surrounded by a reading and
enterprising people, with no other press
nearer than about 40 ms. with its increas-
cd circulation, one of the most interest
ing and important country newspapers

SPEcuLAT1oN.-A lawful game OF

pie productions are used instead Of
cards. They who play the game out
are lofers. The winners are those that
intently watch a favorable stage in the

rowed from them without interest. Thi,

We learn, through the St. Louis papers,
that the Shawneetown Bank has made
arrangements with the Bank of Missou-
ri, and other institutions, by which she
will probably be enabled to resume
by the 18th of June. By this arrange
ment, her circulation will be reduced to
about $500, 900, in which state it is sup
posed she can resume in perfect safety;
having more than a sufficient amount of
specie and exchange, to redeem her en-
tire circulation; the amount of which, on
the Goth of February, was 100000.
By this recent arrangement, and by col
lections, this sum has been reduced to
less than 5000, 900, which tells well for
the officers of the Bank.
'The negotiation says the Reporter
"has given unmingled satisfaction to our
business men; and our institutions, with
out an exception, prompted by the best
feelings, are resolved TO act in good faith
towards the Bank of Illinois, at Shaw
neetown.'
1t seems that the commercial operatins
of the business men of the great empori-
um of the west, have been held in COM
plete check, by the single operations o. a
banking corporation, situated in an OBJ
scure town in the State of Illinois.
This is, perhaps, all right,-but-we
don't believe it.

Armed with a spear, and truths bright

And while she sings her glorious birth,
Waves the LONE STAR Ger the field,
While deafning n peal to Heaven,
Their kindled thunders jar the earth;
Lo! this the year to glory given,
A year that crowns a Nations birth.
Let the full soul of all the nation,
Join to sing the wondrous lay;
Let shouting millions on the occasion,
Shrill to the Heavens the news convey.
The theme demands creations tongue
To bear its swelling chorus high;
The anthem first that Texas sung,
Shall be heard till time shall die.
See Houston with his gallant army rise.
A Phenix from his ashes wakes;
Its blazing wings illume the skies,
The reeking throne of Mexico shakes.

Strike terror 10 tl.e gHiIv name,~
