Mr.. EDITOR i have employed few leisure
hours in gancing at the Books kept by the clerk
of this County and propose giving you and the
public peep behind the curtains.
Ihave found much to call forth reflection on
the state of Society in this place, but for this
time let the first on his list ofexpenses suffice
Pauper Accountable find the county has paid
Poor bills for the City of Kenosha alone in the
year 1850 $500 70 while for the other towns in
the county it has paid only $50 8l--in gross
1851 30, now, sir, this is an evil that can and
should be remeded. There should be induce
ments offered or some means employed to induce
these people to 60 into the country where en-
ployment can be had at all seasons of the year,
for those in good health, and as understand it
large majority of the recipients of charity are
able to work, tbs true that in winter they could
obtain but small wages (but if they only got their
support how much better it would be, than to be
supported by the County,) while in the summer
help of both sexes is in demand-enly think of
farmers paying from IL shillings to l6 shillings
per day for harvest hands-from $40 to Sl8
per month for common labor, and $l0 per month
for hands by the year; but, sir, under the present
system let one of your paupers go into the coun-
try for work and he will ask the modest sum of
$40 or 1912 per month, and be as saucy as the
devil if you turn him out before the sun rises in
the morning, and as to working for small wages
, In the winter they will sooner flee to the good
City of Kenosha and be supported in idleness, SO
long as they can come it on your too kind heart
ed Mayor.
TO see stout hearted men and women who
could swing an axe, or slew wash tub full of
clothes without single grunt eating up the
best food we have, and that without sweating for
it as nature intended, is great damper on the
poor man who is willing to sweat that he NAV
eat his own bread--and more, It's degrading in
its effects it destroys pride of character and all
ambition to improve his condition, and once n
pauper is apt to be always a pauper, as often the
the case, as once drunkard he seldom leaves
his cups. Such is man, ambition once DESTROY
ed he is unnamed; but keep it constantly be
fore him that he is man. and has objects and mo-
tives for manly exertion, and you keep him a.
boye degradation whether from one source or an
other.
There are two classes of Poor, one from mis-
fortune and another from sheer lack of energy
a sort of degraded feeling without ambition to
remove the lethagy It's of the latter speak, not
the tormer-the former feel for and pity. and
cheerfuly help to support, but the latter have
no patience with while they are in health am
the poor man slfr9nd to the extent of my means
-a0hen in heath J acould help him to get uork
that he may eat his ovn bread, and when sick
will dir5de the last crust with him-but do hate
and desPise imposition, come under whatever
garb it will.

THE ILLINOIS RIVER,

Owing TO tho recent thaw, and the continual
rains, with which we have been favored during
the past week, the river is now completely clear
of ice and has risen TO height sufficient slight
ly to overflow its bank. There is every indica-
ton that the river navigation is now completely
opened, and we may look for the speedy appear
ance of regular packets plying between this port
and st. Louis
Last Saturday, while the ice was yet running
freely in the river, the steamer Mobas.ar made
her passage to this place; the qualification flour
citizens at her appearance, as the harbinger of
the resumption of the river trade, was expressed
by the loud thunder of cannon, with which she
was sauted. The steamer Luela arrived on
Saturday, the 22d, and proceeded up the river to
the Basin at La Sale, thence to Ottawa, return
ing on the 23d. The fine packet Prairie State
arrived from St. Louis on Sunday, the 23d.
BY this it will be seen that little more than two
months have elapsed since the close of the nav
cation of the river and its present opening. De-
tore IFS customary close, the steamer Connect
cut made the last trip to this place, arriving and
departing on the 9th of Dccembcr-La Sale

TEE RESCUE.

Several papers Of this city are making grea;
cutlery about the rescue of Shadrach, as if il
were gross violation of law and legal decorum
If the editors of these papers will examine the
Fugitive Slave Act they will find that this meth.
cd of rescue is the only means which that act
leaves open for testing its constituonaly. In
its great anxiety for summary proceedings, and
hot haste TO play into the hands of kidnappcrs it
cuts off the alleged fugitive from all appeal or
review, and leaves him solely dependent on the
legal opinion of the commissioner before whom
he may DO tried, who may be no better, either
man or lawyer, than the notorious Ingraham OF
Philadelphia.
The only possible way by which the consti-
nationality Of the law can be brought before the
Supreme Court of the United States is in a suit
for false imprisonment against the commission
er and marshal; and in order to bring such suit
it is indispensaby necessary that the alleged fu-
gtive should be at liberty.
The rescue then, so much complained of, is
only legal step, like an entry on land for the
purpose of laying the foundation for suit TO test
the title. The man who enters on his own land
may be sued tor tresspass, and those who help
the fugitive TO escape may de indicted for res
cue, but whether there Is any tresspass or any
rescue, will entirely depend upon the question
whether the person in possession, whether of the
land or of the alleged fugitive, have any legal Ii
tie; and that is the very point to be tried Have
the Advertiser and Courier law enough to un-
derstand this That the fugitive act should not
have provided some other means of testing It's le-
gality is to be regretted. That this can only be
done by riskiug a prosecution for high penal
offence is itself great objection to the ACT
But the fugitive and his friends are surely not
to be blamed for reso-ting to the only means of
bringing his right to legal adjudication Of
which the law admits Commonwealth.
