Growing too Soon.

The whig journals are in ecstacies at the
action Of the Democratic Legislature of Illi-
nois in passing a Bank Bill, and that, too,
after it had been vetoed by Gov. French
and they claim that that settles the question
that Banking is Democratic!
The bill which has passed the Illinois
Legislature, we understand, is called Free
Banking Law, and is to be submitted to
the people for their sanction AID approval
before it goes into operation, ard that it re-
ceived the votes of many members of the
Legislature who are opposed to Banking,
but who were willing to submit the ques-
ton to the direct decision of the people.
This, we must confess, is much more dem
ocratic way of settling this question than
the rag barons of Ohio have got, who first
foist their rag mills upon the people, and
then declare that they are beyend the reach
of any future Legislature. But before the
Ohio ragocrats are too much carried away
with rejoicing over the passage of this bill,
they had better wait till the ~Hoosiers y
speak for themselves.

the office of the Secretary ofSta.e, entered
into bargain with the Brokers of Wall

ton, TO give him 5000, and he was now
prepared to prove it, if an opportunity was
given him.

Cheering.

The action of the Constitutional Conven-
ton upon the question of corporation taxa
ton certainly furnishes occasion for rejoic-
ing among the friends of equal rights. Al
though the action Of the Convention upon
the subject of corporations has not met the
reasonable expectations Of the Democracy,
yet they will rejoice at the prospect of COM
pelling the charter-mongers to bear their
just proportion of the burden of taxation.
1t will be seen by an article in another coli
umn, from the Cincinnati Enquirer, that the
Convention have decided by large ma
jority, that sthe property of corporations
no,o existing or hereafter created, shall
forever be subject to taxation, the same as
the property of individuals. This provis-
ion, we doubt not, will be approved by a
very large majority Of the people.
But while we rejoice at this action of the
Convention, we must acknowledge our sur
prise and modification at the vote of the
member from this county, DR.. Cook, who,
it will be seen, not only voted against the
provision, but voted to strike out tie whole
section after the amendment was adopted.
We can account for this vote in no other
way than upon the hypothesis that he was
determined to betray his constituents; for
the doctrine of equal taxation for corpora
tions and for individuals was one of the
most prominent doctrines laid down by the
Democratic Convention which nominated
him, as it was also with the Free Soil par
ty, with which be professed to act, and
to the support Of which his constituents had
his written pledge. This is not the only
instance in which his votes show his strong
proclivity to favor special privileges and
and chartered monopolies. He voted against
the right of repeal, and against prohibiting
paper money banking. Judging from these
votes, there is more hopes of whig than
of him. In happy CONT asst with bis votes
are those of Mr.. Swift, from this county
and Summit, who has uniformly been found
on the side of the people against privileged
orders. ..-

position to Banks Of tirculation-in favor
of the right to repeal all charters, past,
present and to come-opposed to the crea-
ton of State debt-oppesed to special
legislation-in favor of each county having
the power to perform its own local legisla-
tion-in favor of homestead exemption
in favor Of equal taxation-in favor of ten

An English Vessel Wreeked--CreW At.
tacted by Patig0Rians.

The English ship Prince Albert, bound
to San Francisco, was wrecked IN the
Straits Of Magellan, on the 18th OF Octo-
ber.
The crew sailed ashore to procure fresh
water. Soon after, party of armed Fat
agonians came on board and refused to
leave. They sprung upon the captain,
knocked him over and threatened to mur-
der him if he attempted to move. They
afterwards attacked the crew, numbering
two and badly wounding another. The
natives then got possession ofthe sea stores,
including the ardent spirits, drank freely,
and soon were badly intoxicated. Soon
after, the captain and surviving seamen
managed TO escape from the vessel leaving
The wounded maa and the male in the
hands of the natives, and after six days Of
suffering reached the Sandy Point, $50
miles distant, where they procured the
American steamer w. G. Hunt to return
to the wreck. They found the natives
still in possession Of the vessel. They re-
fused to give up the vessel, when the w.
G.. Hunt, opened fire upon them, a:
which the natives left and fled to the hills.
The mate and wounded man were
found to be alive and were conveyed on
board the steamer; the man however, was
sinking fast. The wreck had been com.
pletely stripped by the natives. The
wrecked crew were subsequently conveyed
by the steamer 10 Valparaiso. After the
steamers departure the natives again took
possession The wreck and set fire TO her
The loss exceeds 100000.

The Census Of the q. s.

The Washington Globe N q review Of
the census Of tbs U. s., as far as ascertain
ed, says the results are curious, and some.
times startling: Ten years ago, Wiscon-
sin had population Of 81 900, and now ii
has sos, 900! Iowa, of $4,000, now l75,
900! The greatest absolute increase has
been in Ohio, now 2,150,000, in 1910
100000. The greatest relative increase
has been in Wisconsin. California we re-
gard as ON exceptional case, otherwise she
shows the greatest relative inerease-of
more than two thousand percent, in two
years. Her population is now not much
under 100000 probably. The smallest
absolute increase has been in Delaware,
now 80, ,407,in l84O, 90, ,Os5. The small.
est relative increase has been in Vermont,
now 214.332. in 1910, 26l.2lS. The
slave states now show population OF a.
bout 100000 in round Numbers; in le4O
il was 7,220,0O0. There are in all zo'-
600, 900 of whites in round numbers; q.
500 900 free persons Of color, and S,1Oo,'
600 slaves. The population of the Dis
trict Of Columbia was, in 1s4O, SO, ,845; it
is now 54,00O-showing q considerable
increase, and this. we presume, is exclu-
sive of the portion reroceded to Virgioia,
about onethird as regards territory, but
much less as regards population.

DECLINE OF THE SLAVE TRADE.-Our
.srriuate accounts from the coast Of Africa
state that the slave trade is on Its last legs,
ard nearly all the slave dealers on the
South Coast nre bankrupt. Such was the
vigilance Of the cruisers that there were
e000 slaves in the barracoons at Ambriz,
which they would not run the risk of ship,
ping. The Phoenix screw sloop. Com
mander Lysaught, was stalioned off thnt
plnce. The lrlze captured by the Cy-
clops, steam frigate, Captain the Hon. G. +.
Hastings, on the 18th of November, had
been waking feur months for the chance
of slipping away with her cargo. She
had actually passed urder the flag ships
stern, at Loanda, without suspicion, but
was fortunately pounced upon by the Cy.
clops. She was of 100 tons burthen, but
had no less than go slaves. She ship
ped her cargo one morning twenty five
miles north Of Loando, at three O'Clock,
and at eight P. M. she was under the guns
OF the steamer. She had no slave deck,
and was so crowded, that the Cyclops, for
humanity sake, took out 800 of the poor
wretches and conveyed them TO ST. Helena.
