We find that Mr.. Marc, has been cutting

He has done the same thing here, although
our prices have been low, for every species
ofblunk prnting--fuly fifty per cent, under
the prices paid to Mr. Marot when he was
without opposition in Allen county--and
lower than was ever paid 10 any individual.
This shows that the Reporter is not honest
in its professions of Reform, for when we
have brought prices far below their own stan
dard, they rat il still, showing clearly that
their object is to remove their opposition,
and thente charge the highest prices. :,

Total,
l3644.l7.


Of this amount, one half of the Coroners
expenses, 1857, and at least seven-eights of
the pauper and Jail expenses, $3,264 are
chargable directly to intemperance, making
the sum of $3,32l expense, which after de-
Quoting the amount for license, $685.. so,
leaves balance of $2,423. so against the
trade, to be collected of the people and maid
out of the County Treasury. The proper
ton of the above expenditures, attributed to
lntemperance, rests upon the observation of
gentlemen best qualified to Judge correctly,
and is believed to be much below the truth.
FINALLY, the important question to be de-
cIded by our votes is this: Shall we treat the
sale of intoxicating liquors as virtue and a
blessing, and throw around it the protection
OF law, and give it the powerful aid of pub
lie approval, unequivocally expressed at the
polls, or shall we withdraw from it the sane
tlon and support OF legal authority and leave
it like any other evil to stand or fall by its
own merits!

union Of effort, TO secure the completion
otthis great work. The same harmony
and zeal which have characterized the
friends ofthe Improvement thus for, ifnot
interrupted, will render success certain.
And surely the object is of sufficient i'm.
portance to warrant the hope that all who
are interested will lend their aid, with the
single view Of going on with the work.
and of accomplishing the whoIe work. The
Iroquois River must be improved as we'll
as the Kankakee. Both are alike neces.
sary. The farmer in Iroquois county is
entitled to a market; he as much needs
one as those who cultivate the rich soil
bordering on the Kankakee from the state
line to Wilmington. True, common pru.
dence would dictate that the work as it
goes on should be connected with the
Canal Feeder, that the Company, and the
country may derive profit from it as far up
and as fast as it is completed; but this
should be without any view to a stop at
any point short of the termination. This
appears to be the opinion of every one.
1.-THE Canal Trustees could, consistent.
ly with the interests of the canal, change
the location OF the Feeder Dam to a short
distance up stream, they would thereby
render infinite service to the proposed
improvement ofthe Kankakee & Iroquois
River. They would add greately to the
hopes and prospects of large, fruitful,
and at present inland country.
The importance of the Kankakee coun.
try is beginning to be understood. Its
healthy climate, fertile soil, and the ex-
'haustless water power afforded by its
stream; claim for it a large share of the
'enigrant's and capitalists attention. All
these must be appreciated; and when the
contemplated improvements herein alIud.
ed to, shall have given q market 10 the
producer and manufacturer, and shall have
opened the way to the denss forests, and
rich mineral regions of Indiana, may well
CLAIM for this portion of Illinois the pros.
;pect of a bright day. 1t will not only be
a rich agricultural and manufacturing
region, but in one sense a commercial
country. Nature has been bountiful to it
man can and should do the rest.
