The IIIinois BIock Law.

This Infamous edict has excited the most unquaI-
fled disgust throughout the NORTH and we are glad
TO say that in no section than in Northern ILL.,
nois, has it received the condemnation of the popu
lar heart aud conscience. The press in Northern
Illinois, whether il calls itself Wing or Democratic,
is almost unanimous in its Reputation of this
sttutiona, barbarous and cruel, law. The Chicago
Journal denounces it in the bodest language, and
declares that it will be dead letter in the statute
book, far the northern portion of the State is
concerned The Democratic press Of Chicago
speaks in equally explicit terms, in condemnation Of
the spirit and purpose of this act, while the Rock
ford Forum, Wing press, characterizes il as
loathsome eruption of legislative conduct, and an en-.
during stigma upon the history and character of the
State. ave cannot find words" it says, "to utter
our adherence Of the diabolica deed Unconstitu.
tona, unprincped, unsocited, and unnatural in its
origin, it is insult to to common sense, and in d.
rect anlagonism TO the popular sentiment
Every thing that takes place in the moral or phys.
ical world, possesses dual character-there are
two sides 20 every thing This law OF Illinois is an
outrage on humanity, and great wrong to the poor

too moastrous to be detailed. The positive charac-
ter ofthe act is and vile, but it has negative
influence, and that is good, 10 its tendency. 1t pro-
duces agitation, discussion, and opposition, which
all healthy and hopeful elements IN body poll
tic. Enacted to subserve the interests of slavery it
causes reaction in favor Of freedom.
When we remember the resolutions of Congress
aboishing agitation; and when we remember also,
the platforms ofthe pro-savery parties, which set
tied the slavery question, forced to admire
the good providence Of God, which ,out Of the means
employed by tyrants to further their own designs,
brings confusion and defeat The Slave Law Of H.
nois will only arouse the good and true men Of that
State, to make stronger exertions for the overthrow
Of the slave power.
The miserable toadies and Npoogists of slavery,
do not understand the material Of which anti.save.
ry men made. They suppose that our princi-
Piles are ephemeral their own, and that an
ephemeral legislative act change our convictions
Of duty, just it changes their course Of political
action; but they will always find themselves mis-
taken. With truth, justice, and liberty, for our
motto, will continue 10 defend our principles and
bear faithful witness against slavery so long as there
remains law like that Of Illinois upon an American
Statute Book, so long there is disposition
manifested TO make such law.

NECESSITY FOR VARYING INTELLECTUAL LABOR.
One of the worst results of overworking the brain
in any exclusive direction is that it tends, when
it does not absolutely break down that organ, to
produce mental deformity AS the nursery maid
who carries her burden with her right arm exclu-
sively is afflicted with spinal curvature, so the
thinking who gives his intellectual energies
to one subject or class of subjects gets twist in
his brain. Those, therefore, who are chained to
mental labor, and cannot give the brain repose,
should try to vary their labors, which is another
form ofrepose. Intense and prolonged applica-
ton to one subject is the root of all the mischief.
As your body may be in activity du ing the whole
of the day, if you vary the action sufficiently, so
may the brain work all day at varied occupations,
Hold out stick at arms length for five minutes,
and the muscles will be more fatigued than by an
hours rowing; the same principle holds good
with the brain.

BoLIvIA.-The Panama Echo says 'sThis
government takes deep interest in the navga-
ton of the Amazon and its affluents- several of
The largest of which are in the Bolivian territory,
and they look to the yankees to effect it
They say that they shall have the preference over

caring three ports upon them free ports ports of

first steam vessel navigating its waters into b.
livia, and also the entry of her entire cargo duty
free. will send you copy of it as soon as it
appears"
PERu.-The Panama Echo says: awe learn
from Capt. Thomas, who arrived in the Nueva
Granada that the day before the steamer sailed,
an express arrived overland from the American
Exploring Expedition on the Amazon, that the
explorers had reached point the river, in
nearly a direct line some three hundred miles
distant, but by the circuitous rout which the ex-
press was compelled to take, was about three hun
dred and seventy-fye miles distant. There they
had found magnificent and most productive
country, with resources beyond previous concep-
ton. Cotton sheeting stood at SOC per yard
coffee and indigo at &C. and ell other products at
proportionate prices, cutlery especially being very
high. The imports are fully equal in their rates
to the exports. 1t seems by the statements of
Capt. H. and others, that the Yankee steamer will
secure the bonus of $4,000, spoken of in our
correspondents letter-and the entrance of the
said ports.
