consin.

The FIRST AND LAST FATAL DUEL IN ILLINoIs.---
Clair county, between Alphonso Stewart and Will
liam Bennett. The seconds had made ii up TO be
sham duel. Stewart, one OF the parties, was sup
posed to be in the secret, but Bennett, his adver
that Bennett somewhat suspected trick, and after
receiving his gun from his second rolled ball into
il. At the word fire Stewart fell MORALLY wounded.
Bennett indicted, tried, and convicted for
der great effort made to procure him a
pardon; but Governor Bond would yield to no en-
treaties, and Bennett suffered the extreme penalty
of the law, by hanging, in the presence of great
multitude of people.
This was the frat and last duel which has ever
been fought in the State by any of its citizens The
hanging of Bennett made duelling discrcditablc
and unpopular, and laid the foundation of that alb
borrcncc OF the practice which has been felt and
expressed by the people of Illinois.

Progression in every art;
III every trade and profession,
Each labors to get the frs start.
Yet some who've the start cannot keep it;
They soon get put out of their place;
But MACULLAR, in spite of all others,
Has long been the first in the race.
The Signs of the Times are Improvement
And greatest perfection of skill;
And none can expect to be foremost
Without both the means and the will.
MAcULLAR OF both hath possession,
on6lhed with the greatest of art;
And these may he sure by all comtrs
Who visit his wonderful mart.
The Signs Of the Times show that goodness
Must still be with cheapness combined;
And garments cheap, tasteful, and useful
AT the mart OF MAcULLAR you'll find.
Clothes made in a style of perfection
Which no other store show;
And offered at prices the public
Are apt TO think almost too ou.
The Signs Of the Times are a craving
For all that is novel to view;
And MACULLAR is always presenting
Some fabric or fashion that's new.
Then hasten to pay him visit,
Ere you list 10 another days chimes;
For you'll find that his mart is temple,

President FILLMORE, it is your singularly
good fortune to perform an act such as that
which the earliest OF your predecessors per-
formed fifty eight years ago. You stand where
he stood; you lay your hand on the cor
ner-stonc of building designed greatly to ex
tend that whose cornerstone he laid Changed,
changed is every thing around. The same sun,
indeed, shone upon his head which now shines
upon yours. The same broad river rolled at his
feet and bathcs his last resting place, that now
rolls at yours. But the site of this city was then
mainly an open field. Streets and avenues have
since been laid out and completed, squares and
puoN SFOuuUo cuctOscu uuu oTtIutUcutcu, until
the city which bears his name, although com.
paratively inconsiderable in numbers and wealth,
has become quite fit TO be the seat of government
of great and united people
Sir, may the consequences of the duty which
you preform so auspiciously to-day equal those
which flowed from his act. Nor this only may
the principles of your administration and the wis
dom Of your political conduct, be such us that the
world of the present day, and all history hereafter
may be at no loss TO perceive what example you
have made your study.
Fellow-citizens, now bring this address to n
close, by expressing to you, in the words of the
great Roman orator, the deepest wish Of my
heart, and which know deeply penetrare the
hearts of all who hear me: "Duo modo haec opto
unum, UT MoRIExs poPULUM RoMAKUM LIBERUM
RELINoUAM; hoe mihi majus dis immortalibus
dar nihil potest: aterum, ut ita cuique eveniat,
ut de republica quisque mereatur."
And now feow-citizens, with hearts void Of
hatred, envy, and malice towards our own couu-
trymen, or any Of them, or towards the subjects
or citizens of other Governments, ortowards any
members of the great family Of man; but eyult-
ing, nevertheless, in our own peace security, and
happiness, in the future, let us return to our
homes, and with all humility and devotion offer
our thanks to the Father of all our mercics,
political, and religious.
