Improvement on the late policy; still it is
in many respects highly protective and

and the average duty paid on them was
46 per cent. The same goods viii now

and yet our petted manufacturers are not
satisfied. They are displeased that they

ILLINOIS RIvER.-We would call the
attention of our readers to the able letter
of Mr., Gregg; in regard to the improve.
ment of the navigation of the Illinois
River. AS we suggested last week, it is
matter of grave consequence, how such
improvement can be effected, since the
general government utterly refused to no.
tice the stream. We are pleased to see
the matter agitated, hoping some course
may finally be adopted which will accom-
plish so great a good. The general
government aoiI not improve the River;
the state, at present, cannot; consequ.
emily there seems to be but one chance
left, and that is far company to do the
work. We regret that there exists ne
cessity for placing works of that kind in
the hands of companies, but there seems
to be left, at present, no other course.

TO one State, nor to the western states,
but has extended to the Atlantic, visiting
many places, with unusual severity. In

prevailed have not been remarkably fatal,
though few families have escaped, en-.

Providence. 1t is hoped the sickness is
subsiding, though their is still room for
acts of charity. And those who are
able, should extend the hand freely to
relieve the wants and sufferings of the
poor and the afflicted, remembering that
thereby they derive that solid comfort
which is the chief good ofthis life.

Army VI THE WESf.-Mr. John j..
Hughes writes from Santa Fe, August
25, as follows:
The population of Santa Fe, is estimat.
ed at four to six thousand. The town
occupies an area ofseveral miles in ex.
tent. The houses are built of unburnt
brick, called adobies in Spanish. In thecity
there are six Catholic churches, and no
schools. The public streets are chrooked
and narrow. The public square is abou,
ninety yards from north to south, and one
hundred from east to west. There are
many stores and shops fronting this square
At present,the square presents, very much
the appearance of the Old Markes place
IN st. Louis. The Governors residence
or place, is situated on the north side Of
the square. The architecture is of the
rudest order.
The Mexicans here are generally di.
minutive in size, and of a swarthy com.

handsome, yet their eyes are dark and
penetrating, and they seem to possess
more intelligence than the men.
The distinction of.this army, when we
left Fort Leavenworth, was positively and
unqualifiedly California; but Gen. Kear-
ney having since received discretionary
orders" Col. Doniphan has SO far used
his influence with the General, that il is
now highly probable the volunteers reg /
ment, if not the whole army, viii march
to the city Of Chihuhua to cooperate with
General Wool in the reduction Of that
place.

The following is from c. M. Clay's True American.
1t expresses the true principles of the Liberty party
and if Mr.. Clay will carry out this principle it is all
we ask of him or any other man, 1t is truth which
both parties will do well to faithfully consider that
so long as they contending with each other, for
mere party purposes, slavery will continue to exist
but these old parties can be broken up and
the majority of the people be induced to upon
the common platform of Liberty, and make anti slavery
not party, the test Of membership the work of freeing
the slaves will be accomplished. We thank God and
take courage since the signs of the times indicate that
this long hoped for day is not far distant We would
ask Clay wings and Polk democrats to read and re-
read this extract coming, it does from who had
been a STAKEHOLDER, and knows, from experience, what
he affirms.
"Wherever you find leading partizan, there you
find slavery doing up its bad housekeeping down the
spirit of inquiry pactying all opposition. If such
partzan is in the church, then slavery is also there,
reconcinr the religion of the church with the inter
ests of partyglossng its heaven-hated measures,
such as the election of Clay or Polk-the annexation
of Texas, with slavery-the giving the master power
to count his slaves freemen to put down northern
freemen, and to draw public money, and counting
them as cattle for all other purposes All, yes break
ing up churches that the parties may rob the poor of
the Bible, and barter Gods loved ones.
We say, if the parties were destroyed, nobody here
abouts would differ in feeling, in talk, or measures a

parties. And they are going, and when they co. a
way goes slavery New Hampshire, the Gibraltar OF
northern democracy, has fallan. The wing and dem

constitution will be the rock on which they will split
