1t is necessary, my dear friend to say but little
upon this subject; but my blood bolls with indgna-
ton when read speeches in Congress in which John
Tyler i, denounced as a traitor John Tyler hon
esl John Tyler one of Virginia's favorite sons, a
tTaitor! would us soon expect to see the sun rise
in the West and set in the East, that noble OF
the Old DOMINION turn traitor. No, sir; you want
to end traitors, look to Congress, and there you will
find them; men who have violated their pledges TO
their constituents. John Tyler has yet violated
pledge; he never wa, pledged to charter an United
Sta es Bank, and he has given them an Exchequer
plan which is far preferable to an old Biddle Bank
and put 1t TO the vote morrow, and am GER ain the
people would prefer it by large ma orily. po-

enough to make me and every man upon this SUBJ

try you ever beheld-the boundess and rich prairie,
spreading out in every direction, beautifully rolling,
clothed in the most luXuriant crop OF grass. The
well cultivated farms you occasionally see, and the
immense crops of corn, wheat and oats, to reward
the farmer waving in the wind and at distance, have
more the appearance of growth of sapngs than
a corn CROP | hesitate not moment in saying that
the average crop throughout Illinois will not be

bushels shelled corn to the barrel. The oat crops
