have two reasons for desiring you to give place
IN your columns 10 the accompanying resolution,
which was adopted at democratic meeting in Shaw
neetown, Illinois, upon the motion Of Gen. William
A. Denning, gentleman of high standing and we'll
tried democracy.
My first reason for wishing the publication OF the
resolution is that has Of late often been asserted
that the entire west in favor Of the exploded and
ant-democrauc system OF internal improvements by
the general government. have never for a momen,
entertained belief Of the truth Of such assertions
but have, on the contrary, held so much confidence
in the love Of principle, and the orthodoxy Of the
people Of the great and growing westin their hdel
ity To the true republican doctrines Of Jefferson,
Madison, and Jackson-as 10 forbid that should en-
terrain suspicion that they could be induced TO
brace such political hsrssy-that they could 30 far
lose sight Of one Of the great landmarks OF the DEM
oeratc party and so far disregard the true interests
OF their country, as 10 recognise MS constitutional
and exPedient, principle which sound policy con-
dennis as in-expedent, unconstitutional, and danger
Gus to the purity and permanency Of our insutu-
tons. In accordance with those views and feelings,
hail the sentiments embraced in that resolution, as
an emanaton from the people, strongly corobora-
tive OF the correctness Of my opinions, and showing
that have not oyerestimated their devotion to the
true principles Of the republican party. The reso-
luton ls a. expression from the democratic party
proper Of the second congressional district Of Illinois,
and, doubtless, speaks the true sentiments Of, not
only the democracy of that State, but Of every
other one OF the western States upon the great ques
ton of internal improvements l# g.#ll.

"THE TARIFF PANIC.n

Everything indicates the intention of the pro-
tectionists TO create panic The course of Mr..
Webster in the Senate-of the National Intel
ligeneer and the affiliated wing presses-the
threats in the city papers to shut up the man
ufaetories, and discharge the operatives, are all
calculated TO affect the public mind. The wing

When was it ever known before that free people
were Disguised and alarmed by lessenng their taxes
That tho farmers-the great body Of the nation
were to be deferred from the prosecution Of prop
er policy by getting their goods cheaper and ex-
tending the markets of their own productious,-buy
ing cheaper and selling dearer'
What portion ola State is il that is most active in
raising this pane' Is it the country, or IA it the
eities'-the plain, hard-fsted, honest yeomanry Of
the land, or the bank-parlor men of Philadelphia
Are the farmers to complain because they get their
ploughs and their axes 30 per cent duty Because
Il they buy them from abroad, they pay 30 cents
in the 100 for what they formerly paid 10 or 1902
The domestic manufacturer receives 80 per cent. on
his fabrics more than he would receive, II we were
to get them abroad; and the farmer pays that much
more in proportion. Is it for this that the manufae-
turer expects to raise u panic among the farmers,
and to make them believe that the whole country is
about TO be ruined'
The fact is, the manufacturers have been getting
rich at the expense OF the agricultursts and other
classes; and because their profits are TO be raced
and the poorer people ofhs land are obtain the
ticles they may want on more moderate terms il il
to be expected that the farmer is rise in mutiny
against his govenmenI-that government, which
would now enable him to purchase more goods for the
same price, or the same quantity Of goods at lower

the power Of the body OF the people, we increase
the general comfort and advance the public pros

What employment has absorbed so much capital
lately Ii is manufactures. And Why Because
it is a more profitable investment. And does not the
profit pass into the hands Of few rich lords Of the
spinning jenny and the loom, at the expense Of the
people' See the exertions which have been made
by these thriving capitalists to perpeuate their mo-
nopoly. The plain farmer stays at home, and leaves

Y ---sii Known that Mr.. McClernand, together
with two of his colleagues, (Messrs. Hoee and
Fickiin) took bold and decided ground against the
whole system. They voted against bills containing
appropriations for the west, az well as the east.
They could not be seduced by appropriations for
their own section of the Union or even for their own
State, from what they conceived 10 be sound doc
rine TO do that which they believed TO b. wrong in
principle and ruinous in practice During the dis
cusslon OF that question in Congress, and since the
terminsuon Of that discussion, | have frequently
heard the remark, that Mr. McClernand was not
representing the views of his constituents on that
subject, and that they would rebuke, if not defeat
him, upon 1t. Iadmit that those whom have heard
pass such structures upon his course were such as
had themselves fallen victims to the power and inu-
ence OF the system, and in whose Judgments could
not repose the utmost confidence to popular feel
Ing on the question; yet feel relieved and highly
grahed to see such sentiments az those contained
IN the resolution avowed and proclaimed not only
in that section of the Union, but also to hear his
own enlightened constituency speaking out applau-
slvely for him, endorsing and approving his course
IN such manly, pointed, and unequivocal terms.
Mr.. McClernand deserves--tninsntiy descrves--the
commentator and support of his constituents. He
is one of the faithful sentnels of the people, watch
ing over and guarding their rights; standing upon
the ramparts of the constitutions; ably battling for
its wise provisions; and faithfully toilng to have
ample and equal justice done to thu whole country
lie eminently merits, and amply possesses, the con-
hdence OF the true democracy in and out of Con-
gress; and such confidence he will continue to merit
and enjoy so long as he shall continue to carry out
IN all their purity the great principles of the demo-
cratic party. At the last election in his district he
succeeded without opposition; and far, in the APP
preaching election, he has the field to himself with
every prospect of successful and pleasant

fully expressed Time and reflection had but con-
frmed him in the conviction of their truth. He was
aware that it was very delicate process to separate
the government and the banksdelicate at all times
but more especially in the midst of war; and under
that impression he for one could not have objected
to its postponement had that been the general desire
of those with whom he acted. But delicate the
process was, it could be gone through successfully
even p time of war by resortng to a proper meas
ure. And under that impression he very greatly
regretted that portion Of his friends on that side of
the House had thought proper to put any restriction
whatever upon the Of treasury drafts as hereto
fore employed He believed it would have been
imprudent, even in time of peace, but extremely
so in time of war; and therefore he could not
but regret the course which some of his friends
had thought proper TO take. II would, he feared
increase the difficulty very greatly; but greatly
as the difficulty would be increased, he hoped
to see the system go successfully into opera
ton. As sincere friend from thorough conviction,
he should vote for it, because he believed that it
would be eminendy useful to the government and
the country. 1t would essentially benefit all manu-
featuring industry give greater stability to the
rency, and prevent those excessive expansions
which had always, when they occurred, proved to
be so injurious to every branch Of industry. Again
he regretted that the mode of introduction and the
time of introduction should be likely to put such a
great and beneficial measure in peril IL the war
was continue, he could not doubt that there would
be very great pecunary embarrassment They
had gone into the war precpitately, and conse-
quently there had not been due preparation in re.
gard to the finances and, in his opinion very great
expenses had been incurred which might otherwise
have been avoided. Now, when these difficulties
which he anticipated occurred, ten chances to one
that they would not be traced TO the proper source
and the very measures which had been adopted
though good in themselves, and not contributing in
any degree to the production Of that embarrassment
would be covered with odium in consequence. As
these measures had been recommended by the Sec.
rotary Of the Treasury and the President, he MIR
CO. had been exceedingly anxious to avoid war al
this time. Now that il had been commenced, he
was exceedingly anxious to end il soon as posi-.
bic. He had done his duty in the respect Of en-

The Earthquake The Boston Traveller OF

before o'clock, an earthquake of very consid-
cradle violence was experienced in this city
and vicinity. We have heard from Cambridge.
Newton, Lynn, Nahant. Salem, Beverly,
Westboro, and Worcester. and in these places
the houses were shaken, windows and doors
ratified. bells were rung. and the slumbering
were walked up. The vibrations do not APP
pear to have been preceded or attended by that
Rubbing sound which usually accompanies
earthquakes. The sound as i, appeared to Us.
was more like that produced by the sudden
and vioen. motions of person in an adjoining
room. or in the chamber over head. Some
say there were two or three successive shocks,
bot to US it rather appeared like one continued
lar or shock of considerable violence. The
magnetic intensity at the Observatory at Cam
bridge was greatly disturbed by the shock
The vibrations appeared to be in direction
north and south, and TO have continued for
second or two. We shall look with interest
for news from South America, which will
probably bring us the intelligence of severe
earthquake in tina, section of the world. the
effect of which we have slightly felt. The
Springfield Republican says the shock was
distinctly felt at that place few minutes be-
