tV'Contrary 10 Custom, tho Locoioco meeting
did not pass the usual resolutions. They did not
laud the Tariff of 'l6-they did not praise the
Sub-treasury they confined themselves to the

fearful that recommendations will be made to the
next Congress to modify these two measures OF

Political Joke.

At the meeting of 40 ofice-holders and Office
seekers a resolution was passed, rendering the
thanks of the meeting to the Erecntice arm of the
public service "for the noble manner, in which
the American flag has been borne triumphantly
over the field of contest"
We suppose that the virtue of the Erecutioe
arm consists in the signing Of Santa Annals pass
through the Gulf Squadron and in so reducing the
strength of Gen. Taylors force as to allow a reas.
enable hope to the Presidents pet that he could
whip him.

the Illinois Constitution.

We have received from II friend, in S~prinslic d

State. We lave not had the time to examine its
provisions carefully, but from the fact that it re-
ccived the assent of all the members OF the Con-
v%ention present, except, we presume that 1t Is
well adapted to the genius of the Suckers. Be.
fore it goes into operation, it is to be submitted t.
the people for their adoption. Some OF the bes'
and wisest men of the State were members o
the Convention.

The first Fruits of WING LcgisIa-
linn

The State Auditor has given notice to the hold
ders of Ohio Canal Stocks receivable for Wabash
and Erie Caual lands. and of the Ohio Turnpike
Stocks, that the money is ready 10 redeem said
stocks, and that the interest will cease upon the
first day of November.
Thus begins the good work. Under Wing
management, the State is not only not compelled
10 borrow money to pay interest, but is already
in a position to pay oil part of the public debt
thus obviating the necessity of collecting further
taxes to pay the interest on this amount.

of all Wings and we hope a goodly share oil TIN
