MODERN PoL1TIcs.-Capting Solomon Jump
er, ofthe schooner "Two Follics," gives long
account of his political bringing up, the sum and
substance of which is as follows:
"Now, l have shewn, you what my origin is:
and what has been my political education- Wash
ingtonion on my mothers side, and Jefersonia'
on my fathers side; and experience has since
taught that the true and safe course for self is
to go the Jefersoniam till matters get into trouble,
and then fall back for the sake ofthe country upon
the Washingtonian principles; just as General
Jackson did when the dermJefers0ni0ns talked
of"state rights and he lost rights Of he STATES,
and got things so riled up that NuttifcntiOn be
gan to work and then he fell back AMI with his
hickory fetched it a true Washingtonian wipe O.

please to say to the mir' d and unmjr'd democracy
am Jefersonian till trotrbte comes, and then a

TROUBLE IN THE W1GwAM.-We perceive
by letter from Henry Clay to the New York
Young Mems Wing Association, that he positive
ly refuses to suffer his name to come before a
treatment received in former days by those calling
themselves his friends, whom he characterizes as
'knaees using his name for the purpose Of attain
ing their o1cm personal ends" The Charleston
Mercury, which has become within the last day
or two very good authority with the Wings, says
that MIR. Clay-notwithstanding "his political err
rors"-''can do nothing mean" In the face of
such authority, which is so entirely relied on, we

should serve warning.
(Whe Mr.. Strickland at church Mrs Strickland
walked into the garden and followed by OF the
children belonging to the yard, both black and white
but of his sons boy of eight nine years Of age,
remained, and with him two three negro children who
playing in room where there loaded gun

the toy of their diversion. While they going
with their childish amusements, the white child holding
the gun, he, by means unknown, discharged it !
the load struck of the children in the chin ranged
along the left jaw and fractured greatly The child
not killed instantly, might have been supposed
but yet living and it hoped that, if modification

Council, on Saturday last, convicted VIM. L-ylcs
of selling spritous liquor to slave, on two occa-
sions, and sentenced him to pay fine of ten dol

Much credit is due to Mr. Joshua Sowden, and
the other Town Marshals, for their indefatgable
zeal in detecting this and other low vagabonds
who seek to make living by corrupting our
slaves. We trust the good citizens in the neigh
borhood of Mr.. Lyles' negro trap will exercise
careful supervision over him in future.

ILLINOIS.

If the creditors of the deeply indebted State:
were willing to take land and its products at tbs
prices they bore when those debts were contract
ed, they would be paid in full but silver and gold
the people have not, nor can they, when all the
natural relations of land. labor, and capital, are
deranged procure them in sufficient quantities to
meet the various demands made against them.
This is especially the case in Illinois The
scarcity ofmoney is there great that nearly all
the trade, in many parts of the State, is reduced
to simple barter. 1t is impossible, in such con.
dition of things, that any large amount of taxes
| should be paid in money. But what the people
have, they willing to give. They are willing
ito give their canal, their canal lands the water
power, and the other appurtenances thereunto at
tached, to the holders of the canal bonds, on the
simple condition of their completing the canal
Of the intrinsic value of what is here offered to-
them, the holders of the bonds may form iudg-
ment from the great anxiety the people of the
State have had to complete the canal on their own
account Spite of all the disasters that have come
upon them, since 1887, they have perscvered in
their efforts to accomplish this object, nor would
anything but dire necessity induce them to part
with so valuable property. Indeed, we know
not but that transfer OF this kind may be regard
ed as payment in full The creditors in the
State may hereby get full as much intrinsic value
as they gave, though not precisely in the form or
iginaly stipulated |
Under the management Of trustees appointed by
the bondholders, the canal will be completed at !
much less expense, and afterwards be far more
productive than it would be if under the control of
the State. Uniting the waters of the great lakes
with those of the Mississippi, and extending thro'
region of unrivalled fertility, few works of inter-
nal improvement promise to be more advantageous
than this Michigan and Illinois canal, if placed
under proper management.
Ef this transfer can be effected, the debt of tire
State will be reduced to about four million dollars
the interest of which, some seem confident the
people will be able to pay. Ofthis we are not so
positive. 1t is extremely difficult to raise large
amount of money by direct taxation, in an agricul
turaT community-especialy when that communi
ty is nearly destitute of money. The Chancellor
of the British Exchcquer could not do it, even
with an army of soldiers to back his army of tax
gatherers. He depends for nine-tenths of his rev.
anue in country where money is abundant, on
indirect taxation. The completion ofthe Illinois
canal will, however: rapidly has:cn the develop
rent of the natural resources of the State, and,
when this is DONE there would surely seem to be
prospect Of the people being able to raise in some
way the amount necessary to pay the interest on
he residue of the debt. Some years must elapse
before this will be practicable; and for the pres
mt it appears TO that the only choice the bond
holders have is to take what the State offers or to
AXE nothing i

The prices annexed to the above articles arc
given by the editor, and not by Mr.. Dodge. We
have put the sums low, generally, and some of
them, probably, are less than Mr.. Tappan sold
the marketable part of his crops for. But every
one acquainted with farming, well knows that
most crops have refuse, unsaleable portion
This portion is included usually in the gross a.
mount of crop, but cannot be sold for much
For this reason, we must put prices low, or VIC
shall mislead many readers.
The stover, or corn fodder, is not included in
the above; it probably was worth from twelve
to fifteen dollars.
AS the quality ofthc articles was unknown to us,
we probably have hit wide of the mark in many
instances. Four hundred dollars worth of pro-
ducts from five acres of land, when prices are
low as at present, is large amount.
