Mr.. EDITOR:
A correspondent in your last paper alludes to
the unlimited credit given by Merchants and
Traders, and cites it as cause impeding the
prosperity of Kenosha This is true, and if a
credit system is a natural system growing out OF
the wants and necessities of society, its natural
operation is reversed, or in other words, it is no
longer natural. Let US see. The Farmers pro.
duce the raw material, which forms the basis for
all the productions with which we are acquainted
The Merchant and the Manufacturer can do no.
thing until the articles of commerce in crude
state are furnished by the Farmer, the Miner, OF
the Woodsman. 1t would seem natural there
fore, that if credit is to DO given, it would seem
that it should be to the Merchant or the Mocha
mic, by the Farmer. But this is not the case.
The Merchants and Mechanics of this and other
places where the retail credit system prevails
give from six months to years credit to the
Farmers, while the Farmers as general rule
receive ready payment for their produce. Now
how is this unnatural result brought about ?
Most obviously,by the crowding togetherin towns
and cities of the masses of men who are poor
but who must live at any cost of labor and toll to
themselves, and who are competing with each
other, which shall sell his labor for the least COM
pensation. This competition makes it essential
that man should have good business location.
This he can not have, unless he buy or rent at
an enormous cost to those of small means. and
the impossibility of healthy and remunerative
trade existing under these circumstances, is an
other OF the many reasons which might be urged
as impeding the prosperity of Kenosha.

u Among our news items of last week, was
one giving an account of an attempted flight of
slaves from Washington, and the arrest of VIM
j.. Chaplin, of New York, for assisting them.
Mr.. Chaplin is the candidate of the ultra aboli-
tonists of New York, for Governor, and is said
TO be gentleman of fine talents and of warm and
generous emotions. He will probably be hand
ed over to the authorities of Maryland, who it is
expected will mete out to him the severest penal
ties the laws of that state will admit of. Most of
our readers recollect the generous efforts of a
couple of South Carolinians, Huger and Bolman,
to rescue Lafayette from the horrors of Austrian
dungeons, the unfortunate termination of their
efforts, and the consignment Of the captive to
deeper dungeons, which his noble-hearted friends
were forced to share. 1t has occurred to us that
In the good time coming, when right. not mirht
shall rule the land when men shall look throuoh
the fimsy wickedness which now enwrans I'll
our institutions, and fix themselves on the nr;n-
ciples of eternal truth, the efforts of VIM. 7,
Chaplin will occupy the same page in human
admiration, as those of Huger and Bollman. This
may seem presumptuous prophecy, but we ex-
pect in that good time alluded to,which aoit come,
that all humanity will be considered as occupy
ing common ground in respect TO rights, and
it will be understood and recognized that ''inas-
much as ye did it unto one of these the least of
my brethren, We did it unto me-"
We speak of the future. The duty of men
with reference to the laws and institutions under
which they live, however antagonistic they may
be to their convictions of right, is question ne
yer yet settled, and one which we need not ex-
press an opinion with reference to. There is one
thing though, which we may safely assume to he
a cause of universal regret that we have inst;tu.
tons and laws, which outrage the better FEELINGS
of humanity, and which makes it a question
whether the highest dictates of duty require that
they shall be observed or violated.
