whatever to pay interest on our state debt arising
such tax is to aid the canal, which is looked upon
as northern measure. This idea we wish to
correct. 1t is true, if our state at present paid the
interest on her debt it would not he very difficult
to obtain loan to complete the canal; aud II a
tax had been levied by the last legislature TO pay
but a small portion OF the interest on our state
debit it may be equally true that 1t would have

Dixon Land q flee,

One can hardly keep run of the changes CONT
nually taking place in the land office at Dixon.
The latest news is that Mr.. Hogan has been re-
moved from the Office of Register, and Mr. Benz
Clifford late postmaster at Quincy, III this state,
has been appointed in his place. The Rockford
Forum is dissatisfied with this change, and says
Mr.. Hogan has been prescribed on account of bis
political opinions having always been a consistent
wing, &c. We know, however, of but one parii-
cuar in which he has been consistent whig,"
and that is, in his love for the ''oaves and fishes,
for, in other respects, he has certainly made the
whole circle Of the political compass within the
last ten months.

EOHN BOYLE, Scolchman, left his wife anu
% family of three children at Mapping Greek,
N. Y, for the purpose of going to Illinois, there
to earn and purchase farm, and to move his
family thereto. He left in 1889, and calculated
ia be back in two years; but as no return has
been made by him, nor has he written, It is pre-
sumed by his more than allectionate partner, that
he is not among the living, Verbal report has
stated about three years since the said Boyle was
at or near Chicago. He was man of naturally
light complexion, between 80 and 80 years old,
in his form was of stiff and rugged build; was a
good singer of Scotch songs His general de-
pertinent such as would command respect. He
married Margaret Morrison, of Scotland, who fol-
lowed him to this country in 1929. Part Of tho
time since marriage they resided in Patterson, y.
j., and part at Wappings Creek as above ANY

beautiful Sho, Tower in the course Of erection in

tremendous crash. 1t had been raised about 100
feet, and was to be raised forty feet higher. 1t

weeks past /, has been cracking, so as to cause
alarm in the ncighborhood. But men who are
good judges of such matters expressed the opinion

The last State Register contains an address TO
the people of Illinois, ffom meeting of the clti-
zcns Of Bond county, or the subject Of our state
allirs, which, from the importance of the subject
deserves passing notice. 1t will be recollccied,
it wa, by the citizens Of that county, or a. least
portion of them, that the black flag of repuda-
ton was raised few years ago, and we believe
1t bus been difficult matter for The last few years
to collect even a part of the state revenue due
from that county. The address complains bitter
ly of the heavy taxes the people have to bear 10
support the government. though from the fact al
ready stated Of their refusal to bear their portion
Of those burdens, we should think the people Of
Bond county ought TO be the last to complain on
that score. The address then suggests a number
Of ways in which the expenses OF the state might
be diminished, such as that the pay of members
of tho legislature be reduced, &c, oil Of which
are well enough in their way, and such rs will
moi be objected to. The canal next claims a,tcn-
ton, and while the great importance of the work
both in n state and national point of view is ac-
knowledeed the authors ofthe address are Of OPT
Mon tina, il cannot be completed during the present
generation unless /, is by the general government
and they recommend that the legislature Of Hi
nos, nj its next session, take up the whole bust
ness of western improyemcnts-the harbors on the
lakes, the Improvement of our rivers the national
road, and including the Illinois and Michigan ca
nal-and nuke an appeal in their behalf to the
western states and to congress, and, taking into
consideration that our next president will be a
western man, identified with western interests,
and that the national treasury is OVERLOOKING with
means, they think this appeal must be successful
The plan, If adopted, would certainly be the ckeop-
est upon which our canal can he completed, but
its feasibility we think may well be questioned
We are not, however, going to argue tho matter
Our main object is to draw attention To u singl,
remark of the authors OF the address, in this CON
necon, and i, is III ,hese words:
"The project OF taxing the people to propi,ia,,
the bondholdcr, and by this means obtain u loai
of sixteen hundred Thousand dollars, If successful
would he wholly inadequate to complete the cana

DEMOCRACY TRIUMPHANT /.

We have the proud satisfaction of
announcing the cheering news to our
democratic readers in to-day's pa
per, that JAMES X. Polk and Gro.
M. DALLAS will enter upon the dis
charge Of their official duties as
President and Vice President of the
United States on the 1th day of
March next!
Cheering as this news is to the
democracy and the country, we hope
our democratic friends will enjoy this
great and glorious victory in a be-
coming spirit of calm moderation.
In the defeat Of Clay, the ancient and
vindictive enemy of our principles,
every democrat has heartfelt salts
faction beyond expression or mani
festation, and should therefore walk
proud and erect on the soil Of free
dom, and inwardly render thanks to
his countrymen for the fresh impetus
thus given the glorious cause of re-
publican freedom. Democrats, RE-
JoIcE BE calm-bc moderate ! Bid
a long and last farewell to Henry
Clay! Farewell, Harry, peace and
comfort attend you in the calm and
peaceful shades Of Ashland!

PLmk Roads.-We copy the following para
graph from correspondent Of the Star in the
West. 1t is an interesting account of species
Of roads unknown among US
"Through all of Canada that have seen, the
practice prevails of forming their troioires side
walks, of pine planks; these when properly laid
make not only clean and pleasant but also (as
am told) very durable footway. 1t might not,
however, be for the health of some of our Western
folks to adopt them, for they have been SO long
accustomed 10 padding through the mud aud slop,
tina, a change to comfort and cleanliness, might
occasion a shock to their constitutions. The
plank roads of Canada are another improvement
which has not yet been adopted in the States. 1t
is as much superior to INFLAMMATION, as the lat
ter is to the old fashioned mode of turnpiking.
First, the road is thrown up and levclcd; then
square timbcrs for slcepers are laid lehg,hwise OF
the road; across these the planks arc laid, and
fastened down with large spikes; then the whole
is covered with layer of fine gravel, which con-
ccals the planks, and which, being laid on TO q
greater depth on the side Of the road prevents the
panks from working loose at the ends. Horses
and vehicles pass ever these roads as noiseless as
though they were passing over saw-dust, or tan
bark they cannot become mirey at any time o.
the year. neither rains nor frost can affect them
and they will endure ten or twelve years withou,
repairs"
