A BpIDcE At MoRRI-1he people Of Morris
are beginning to Ogitate the subject Of building a
bridge across the Illinois river at that point
Their plan is ID erect the bridge in two years, at
a cost of $4,000 in bonds; $1,000 TO be issued
the first year, and a tax levied to pay ten per
cent interest upon them; and the second year
$1,000 more and an additional tax TO pay inter-
est on them. As the bridge would be finished
at the end Of the second year the tax would then
cease-the tolls on the bridge, it is thought, would
pay more than the interest on the bonds, and
eventually liquidate the entire debt.

NcUrS Ehtors-Some time since an article APP
peared in your paper on the subject Of McCor.

it j. but proper to state IN the authority of Mr.

MCormicks own straight sickle, and not the

sent over, and whiah was used generally through

This is worthy Of note.
While on this subject, it may be well to remind
our many manufacturers tina, there is to be trial

Last week, the man Of the CoGstitu,ionallst ap-
peared to be very much alarmed at the slim pros
pect public sentiment shows there Is for Wing
candidate for President,
1t seems that he has been trying to learn
something Of the principles upon which the Dem
ocratic party rests, but is no: able to comprehend
them. This is not strange; for all who believe
in the divine right Of the well born to rule the
people, are troubled in the same way Yet lie
seems to be conscious there is to him an iudehn-
able somethius-some great principle which he
cannot appreciate, now agitating the minds OF the
people, which must prevail At the coming cleo
ton.
His favorite candidates for President are Mr.
Webster and Mr.. Fillmore neither Of whom lie
thinks would turn hand over to secure his own
nomination. II is fortunate for the country that
the Wing party can boast OF having men in then
ranks who SO love their country that they would
devote themselves to lis service. with the hope
of no other reward than being elected President
Among such men it is to be regretted that Us

By reference to our advertisement columns it
will b, seen that another effort is being made To
raise means to build bridge across the Illinois
river at tits place. We hope this effort will not
prove abortiye as SO many efforts have Every
man who has the least calculation about bin
must know that stock in bridge here would
pay well and certainly there is no public work
o. more urgent necessity and actual utility as
well to the travelling community as to the citizens
ON the south side Of the river and Of this town
than the building of this bridge. We feel conf

of stock, and we have no doubt that those on the
south side of The river feel the want of the bridge
enough to do their part. We understand they
have already subscribed liberal sum.
