pointed at not having carried the mayor in

Wood as Mayor, and refusing to permit him
to he sworn in until he has legally proved his
right. One of the speakers said that il
Wood went to the city on New Years day,

committee, including the names of Erastus

contributions for contrasting the election, II

Rtsotrta, That in the OPINION Of the sub.

make no unusual discrimination against the

discredit orany Bank mot known or believed
to be insolycnt or suspendcdD by rejection

TO THE pIiDIJC

The undersigned feels called upon, at this
time Of moucytOry excitement, to make n
public statement for the benefit of such per.
sons as are not in the way Of being correctly
informed as to the value of Illinois Bank
bills of suspended Banks.
Every Bank Of this State, under the Gen.
cral Banking Law, has dcnositcd with the
Auditor in the bands vi tho Treasurer, good
interest ,.ogmg bonds of the several States,
to the t0U amount of every dollar of their
own bills; and all registered money is cgual.
~ secured, one Bank with another. Those
that have closed their doors have in no way
deprecated the security for their bills they
are Of their .taH rdige HOr-but cannot
command specie until the Auditor disposes
OF their bonds or securities according to law,
which is required to be done Immediately,
at which time due notice will be given and
the bills redeemed in specie. No sacrifice
shouls bc made on Illinois Bank bills what.
soeyer--not even suspended Banks.

TIM MoEMoSs -While some Of our politi.
cotemporarics are working themselves up in.
to an excitement about the Mormons, il is
daily becoming more apparent that the 'let
alone policy" will be quite sufficient, if rig
idly pursued for few years, to relieve the
country of ali cause Of anxiety on that
score. 4 wrilcr under date of Sept. 80,
from Salt Lake City, says;
There is very little money in circulation in
Salt Lake City. The heavy tithes and the
failure Of some crops, have exhausted the
resources Of the people, and the only coin in
the country is in the hands of the Gentle
merchants and the elders Of the church,
This last Summer many families had seeded
from the church and gone into the States
There are hundreds who would follow them
if they were able. The system of concubin-
age has become rcpulsvc to many who
knew nothing Of the peculiar institution
when they left their homes. AS there is
no limit to the Presidents wives, and as
he is building n new and magnificent ha-
rem, no beautiful young woman is safe
from his glanccs, 50 devoted is the Proph-
ct Governor to "raisirg up pure and
perfect generation to the Lord"

Within twenty years about one hundred
churches, numbering about twelve thousand
converts, have been planted along the coast
of Africa many schools also have been estab-

and hundreds of natives have received, and
are now receiving, a christian education, and
yet, previously to that time, the whole
twenty-five millions of that section Of Africa

must be but a small sum, in ordinary times

4 MAN Rus OFF IN A BALLooN.-Profcsso
Elliot was to have made balloon ascension
from Richmond, Va, on Thursday, but was
persuaded by young man named Carrier to
let him 90 up short distance. The Dispatch
states that Carrier got into the car and rose
above the heads Of the multitude; when to
the establishment Of every spectator, he cut
the cords which held the balloon to the earth,
and waving his hat, sailed oifrapidy towards
the sky. The disappointment of Mr.. Elliot,
who was anticipating a magnificent aerial
voyage, so affected him that he tainted, and
during lie evening two phyGicoGs mad to be
called in. The spectators were also quite in
dignant. Carrier, when last seen, had asccn-
ded to great height. 1t was subsequently,
asccrtained that he descended safely on tho
farm of Mr.. f. Snyder, where Professor T.
previously descended.
