THE RIGHT OF AcoRETloN.--The good
people of Illinois seem to think that the
Island OF Cuba is ours by right--some
peregrlnating geologisl having convinced
them that the Island has been formed by
deposte from the Mississippi. There
seems 20 be much force in the argument
All the land wasted by the Mississippi
belongs to the United States; if that fan
tasticaI river chooses to disregard ou
rights aud carry this land away and give
it to some one else, shall that illegal &C
divest US of our property? Most surely
not. Ours should instantly be reclaim
ed; and we propose that Congress aP
point a commission from Illinois to col
lect and convey TO the United States
every particle oil earth which they cal
identity as having come from the MIssis
sippi. The right of accretion may be
very fair among individuals, bat it can
not--no more than common honesty--b e
tolerated among nations Della.

usual price Of $50. The students were
promised the cutting up of the subject on

next morning, however during lecture
strange sounds were heard in the room,
