under the general government, to recon.
cile the people of Vermont to the Ne

1t is difficult to speak of the enor.

employing terms that SAVIOR of exaggert.

lost somewhat of its force, from the fact
that violence Of language and bitterness

ed, and that, too, not only by a most dis.

need expect no favor at the hands of
their constituents. The people will
never forgive so capital a crime.
The compact now proposed to be an.
nulled and r~epudiated is as sacred as
any that lies at tho foundation of our
national government. The South has
had its consideration, as agreed to by
the Missouri Compromise. and now at
tempts to ~repudiate its engagement, on
which that consideration was founded.
To accomplish this the more readily,
the beginning is made with two terrific
ries in which Slavery would hardly be
likely ever to gain any great foothold,

that curse is most distinctly and sacred

largest and finest. The owner, Mr..
Ira Church, was formerly and but a
few years since, q poor mechanic, and
within ten years has made a large for
tune, most Of it in keeping a hotel. 1t
is not a year since the Cages hired the
house for ten years, at a rent of twelve

They have been offered, for the unex.

The Mattison House, with so rooms.
is a new and fine hotel, and we'll kept

large and good hotel, and there are
many others. A new one, just built,
is called Young America.
There is one feature in life here
that is very pleasing to a stranger.
Every one who comes here to settle, if
entitled to confidence or credit, is at
once taken into fellowship. He is
treated rather as an ally than a rival.
AT the east, a new conner is looked up.
on as a kind of intrudcr-as a fellow
who is about to attempt TO divide a
very small piece of land. Hence,
very careful inquiry is made as to
whether he is what he seems to be,
and if so, whether he has any right
to be so-inasmuch as his father was
a blacksmith.
Whatever may be the faults of
Young America (if she has any), she
has not a spark of Jealousy. She asks
no questions about a mans father, and
cares not a straw whether he had any.
All she wants to know is, what he can
do, Whoever knows any useful art,
or profession, or has any steady habits
Of industry, will be received with the
greatest cordially. A mar who has
lived in Chicago a year. is no longer a
stranger. In the mean time several
thousand have come in, who are not
as old citizens as he is, and as every
thing is comparative, it thus comes to
pass that a years residence here
makes n quite an old citizen.
The buildings of Chicago, at first
slight and cheap, are now elegant, sol,
id and durable, with all modern i'm
provements, in both houses and stores.
Ira Cranch, who built the fremont,
has built a number of blocks of noble
stores an ornament to the city and a
monument to his taste and enterprise.
