Illinois,.

Things seem to be getting badly out of joint in
Illinois, as we learn by the papers. The causes OF
difficulty thus concisey summed up by the N Y
News.
One Of the chief elements of improved confidence
in the stock market has been the prospect of some
settlement of the affairs Of the delinquent States
more particularly Illinois, which has made so great
stride towards recovery of her credit There is
to fear that all that has been done will be
lost. Michael Ryan, Esq, and Col. Oakley, it will
be remembered, representing the Democratic party of
Illinois, seized upon the only plan by which Illinois
could redeem ITS honor and preserve The fruits of its
expense hitherto incurred. That was, to procure
from the bond holders tie of completing canal
which is amply able to pay them for their whole debt
when completed. This the bond holders refused,
unless the people of Illinois pay tax TO meet part
of their annual interest This the latter agreed do
If the canal should be completed in a specified time
at a cost of 81 100000. The work has gone into
the hands of trustees whose first movement has been
to vote themselves 5000 per annum each, propose
bilrfor the expense of their unauthorized visits to
Europe sdeniand commission upon their whole loan
appoint engineer at salary of $1,000 to conduct
the work for them, and then reinsate on the whole
canal, all the same men who rioted in the profuse
expenditures of former years. The next movement
is suspend the Michigan lake section of the work
IN order to induce Congress TO appropriate 81 00(
more to make deep cut for ship canal. The whole
affair has, justly, created deep excitement in Illinois
1t has gone so far as to eopardize the payment of tn,
tax and in doing to diminish all hope of any uti
mate redemption of the Western stocks. Another
bad feature in the affairs of Illinois is the formation
of combination under Thomas Mather, the EXPIRE
sdent of that old sink of iniquity the State Bank
and relative of the Governor TO resuscitate that ok
90 promise-mine" We have repeatedly. within a yea
notified the Illinois citizens, that Barrett Bfather
and the rest at work in the interests of that oil
corrupt concern.

Guliibiiify.

1t is evident that the Of intriguing Poit-
clans depends upon the guibiliy of the community.
This gulliblity however is confined to particular
class of the people. There gulls in every cir
Gle Of society in every sect-in every party and
in every profession. The truth is that all man
kind are the fools Of one another-and the fools
of themselves. The learned deceive the ignorant
the ignorant deceive the learned; men deceived
by women and women by men-and they are all de-
ceived by their hearts. Intriguers and imposprs
while they are pursuing plans of successful intrigue
and imposition upon certain class of the community
are generally at the time themselves the dupes
of other deceivcrs II is the general opinion that the
common people they called, the only class
which is susceptible of imposition 1t is true that
men gullble in proportion to-their ig''e.ance-
but ignorance is not deficiency of-terary at
taifrnents-and wisdom is not necessarily connected
with usGnemsstr The common rustic who talks only
in nA4bsy1ab1es, and who could not understand the
language which is ordinarily used by our male aid
female boarding school misses has frequently SsOund
worldly wisdom than the majority of graduates when
they take their second degree. While it is allowed
that liable to imposition just in proportion
to their ignorance we must be careful not TO confound
ignorance of particular things with general Ignorance
or the knowledge of particular things with general
knowledge. Ignorance of literature of science
does not imply deficiency of general and liberal
knowledge; and there is probably many wise man
among citizens who has read neither Milton or
Shakespeare, ana who is very imperfect in his English
grammar. may be illiterate without being
an ignoramus-and an ignoramus, may in certain
respects, be quite literary scholar. Gulbility
therefore is most abundant among those classes who
have the least general knowledge of the ways of the
world and the most bigory and prejudice. Hence it
is not peculiar to any class of the community, but it
is the misfortune of the narrow-minded both among
the learned and the illiterate The only remedy for
this evil which is prevalent in every community,
must be afforded by self knowledge and the knowl-
edge Of mankind

Dewitt Clinton Ricl,. ESQ.

This gentleman, who was Wing candidate for the
Senate at the recent election, in the district of
Bartholomew and Jennings, is :" smart young man.
and rapidly rising genius. He couldn't quite come
it for SENATOR however and if he had, we had rod
in pickle which would have given him some trouble,
perhaps. He was ineligible to seat, had lie received
a majority of votes. But it seems he had some time
ago resolved to follow the example of his great leader,
Henry Clay, who virtually peJured his way into the
u S. Senate, if Greeleys biography be true is not

but he forgot some body at hand, "akin' notes :"

was probably made with eye to his ineligibility,

We have another young man who perhaps has
grown old as rapidly old Mr.. Rich seems to have
done but have not got the proofs all arranged pre-
sent. 1t would be well enough, however, for the
young sprigs of Whggery, who attempt to play this
kind of game hereafter, to be rather sly, if they
desire to avoid exposure.

For THE REFLEcTING. = The Detroit Free Press
publishes the following for those who think;
One specie dollar privileges the bankers to issue
three paper ones.
The people have TO conduct business on the prnci-
pie of " dollar for DOLLAR
Bankers can suspend or break with full pockets,
and laugh creditors to scorn.
The people, for the same act, would be put upon a
rack, or their bodies confined in a dungeon
Bankers are privileged TO draw interest on what
they owe.
The people are forced to pay interest, under the
same circumstances
Bankers empowered to issue currency of debts,
instead of the constitutional of gold and silver.
The people are prohibited from circulating indi-
vidual notes a currency.
Now, to draw no further contrast we ask if this
spectacle is not humlliating

of the Argus, the Watch-Tower says:

AN INDEPENDENT SOUTHERN REPRESENTATIVE
Felix G. Mcconnell, who ran against the regular De-
mocratic candidate In the seventh Congressional dis
trict, Alabama, has been elected. Mcconnell is what
is called hard case and his conduct was very Sc

phisticated locofoco"-and that IS If they did not
choose to reelect him, because he took his glass of

OErIt is difficult for even the most intelligent to
form perfectly true appreciation of the motives
which govern the conduct of Politicians and equal

motives 10 Judge clearly of the propriety or mpro-
priety of that conduct and the end which it tends.
All men more less falliblc; all, TO some ex-

exempt from these infirmites of human nature even
the best of them have full share thereof We speak
generally, of course; because, at all times some a

chief end and object, pursued in the face of many
obstacles with seadness and zeal equal TO the con-

easy always to decide justly as TO the comparative
validity of such professions When they conflict to-

egrity of either is to be found in their actions, and
in the nlotires melting those acts, far the latter
can be proved or inferred By actions or by other at

Gen. Gaines.

We should judge from what we see in the Wash
ngton papers that Gen. Gaines has acted more like
child than General. 1t appears that he actually
called upon the Governor of Louisiana for troops
without at any order from Warrington. The Union
in referring to this matter says.
1.-The fact is, that Gen. G. has acted without ORDERS
and, be his motives as pure as they may, they can
not exempt him from the censure of the Executive.
The command of the army of observation was
given to Gen. Taylor, and Gen. Gaines ought never
to have medded with his command"

DISTRESSING AND SINGULAR DEATH.-An accident
of most melancholy nature happened on the 9th in
slant, in Dickinson township, Cumberland county.
boy named Amos linn, aged III years, was sent by
some members of the family, to the well for water.
At the well he was met by two boys who attempted
to assist him in drawing it. The buckets descended
with too much velocity, and Amos, fearing that it
might be broken took hold of the rope to stop its pro-
gress when he lost his equilibrium and fell TO the
bottom, distance of 70 feet. A gentleman, stand
ing near, alarmed by the cries of the boys, immedi-
ately proceeded to the well and descended dis
lance, when he heard the youth excaim, "lft me up,
Il am not hurt" A rope procured and lower
ed and the boy requested to fasten it around him. but
after raising him some 10 or Is feet to the horror OF
all, he again fell and was instantly killed..
