Our ncighhor Of the "Consti,utionalist" has
taken upon himself the Office Of censor, and in
his paper Of yesterday talks to our people abou,
the state of their morals fright out "and docsn''
do anything else" He says:
Amostth entire voting population [ofOuawal
are rank politicians and to demaeogues of every
name and party (n politics. we can freely say
come h,her and you shall find genial home
Bot you must be good humored and polite to all
you may lie unbnshingy but not insul,nGIy
Your own party, whatever it may he, will sustain
you in any party rascality that touches their
humor.
1t is a source of consolation, however, to know
that our morals are not always to remain ut Thu
low cbb. The censor adds
Both in morals and intelligence the character
of the people is iavorably progressive.

The governor this morning transmitted to the
senate his report upon the subject ofthe Mormon
diliculues. The senate ordered $500 copies to
be printed for the use Of beth houses, lou will
therefore have an opportunity Of examining it at
length.
Quite a Number Of members have taken leave Of
absence until after the holidays are over. No bu-
sincss Of importance will be done for a week or
two yet. Indeed, DO not think that any very
useful measure, will be passed during The session.
am Of the opinion that the state would have
been much better OH without than with the pre-.
is altered, would he in favor OF not allowing the
legislature to meet oitencr than once in four years.
II VIC cannot have honest legislation, we Lad bet
ter have none, The character vi tie members
must be changed before we can have sound, just,
aud wise action. The man of sense instead OF the
demagogue must be selected the statesman in
stead of the politician. Men must be elected who
have reverence for duty aud conscience, lofty
love Of jucticc and constant regard for pure
equity aud the rights Of all.
The people, who feel SO much pleasure and
pride in the growth and improvement Of the state,
should speak out by petitions, by public meetings,
and through the public press, and demand OF the
legislature some efficient action upon the subject
Of the public debt. Have men ceased to entertain
profound regard for good faith Has fidelity
80 engagements ceased to be yirtuel Has com
mon honesty become useless to mankind Or why
have the people ceased to be interested about the
final di>pos ton # their public debt J Our debt is
rapidly accumulating, the legislature is doing no.
thing to relieve the state, and the people are ST.
lent. Can this state Of things continue If
the citizens of Illinois continue to disrc-
gard their solemn obligations, aud break their
pl9hted faith, aud repay confidence with deceit,
aud a trusting dependence ON their honor with
open injustice, obey must come to know and feel
bitterly tina, the high qualities they have set at
nought, are essential TO their own prosperity ;
that without them nothing is secure that emhar-
rassment and loss, undey,Iopcd resources which
only produce discomfort, and energies uncxcrcsed.
which create nothing but rcstlcssness, are the in
cyitablc destiny Of people guilty Of bad faith.
If the people nre honest, they should move with
nut delay, ins,ruc, their representatives,, and de-
mand justice at their hands, aud never rest until
the faith of the state has been redeemed, aud their
own horor secured from rcproach.

From the Harrisburg (Pa) Democratic Union.
Great Calamity.

The Cumberland JaNey Rail Road
Bridge Destroyed by Ere-Loss Of
Life!
On yesterday the 4lh inst, our town
was scene Of the mos, unfortunate con-
ilagration that has ever belalon it. Be-
tween and o'clock in the afternoon,
the cry of fire resounded through our
slreeis, and dense voley of smoke was
observed in the direction of the river. 1t
was soon discovered that the sparks of
locomotive that had shortly before passed
over, had communicated fire to the splen-
did railroad bridge erected by the Cum
berland Valley Company over the Sus-
quehanna river, and that its utter deslruc-
ton was almost inevitable. The fire
having originated near the Cumberland
shore, comparatively little assislane could
be rendered from this side by the eflcien.
corps Of Harrisburg fremen. who were
compelled to serve as almost passive spec
lalors of the dreadful scene.-The circum-
stance that the bridge had received thick
covering Of pitch, designed TO protect i.
from rains, also contributed greatly to the
rapid stride Of the flames. This created
most intense heat, so that our firemen
who usually suhdue the most formidable
fires, were compelled TO yield to the de-
vouring element an almost unmoles,ed
dominion.
But the most fearful part of the calami-
ty remains to be told. A large number
of persons had conceived the project of
disconnec,ng one of the spans by sunder-
ing ii with ages. This partially effected.
they remained upon the portion not yet
reached by the flames. No sooner, how
ever, had the consumed part fallen, than
the remainder necessarily yielded TO the
weigh! of those who occupied it-who
numbering no less. probably, than so To

bonom! The following are the princi-
pal sufferers.

Ii years of age, not expected to survive.
