cities and towns spring up as by mag

grand Central Road pays State ex-
penses, while other lines Of iron con-
meet IL with the Mississippi and the
East; last year one of the Captains
took his vessel, "Dean Richmond"

Illinois 10 rapidly developing her
educational resources, Scboolk, Cole
ges, Summaries and Universities Are
arising rapidly, well endowed and
vigorous. Our State 1nstitutions are
not closed, our blind aud mutes and
insane arc not driven out "a die, and
oar Governor IL q sober man.
IL 10 thought that extensive manu-
factories both Of cotton and wooIlsn
goods will soon be established along
Rock River, which affords ~ 6ne
watcr power o. can be foundat Lowell
or elsewhere Already largo quaint
ties Of fine sheep are raised and when
a few OF Gov. Wrights hydraulic
Rams are imported IL IL thought the
breed will be famous and the mutton
unsurpassed
/ But II we have no hydraulics we
have Judge Douglas. The little
giant" Is giving himself and bis
friends much trouble by making
speeches. He recently delivered one
at Springfield, in which Squatter
Sovreignty was boldly repndiatcd.
Utah has no right 10 choose her own
domestic institutions for Polyeamy
Il not allowed by the Constitution!
Just as II Slavery was spoken Of In
, that instrument The speech was re-
ported in two forms-one for the
meridian of St. Louis and one for
, Chicago, but all in vain, even that
precaution can't save him. He il
boldly contradicting all the doctrines
he advanced in the Senate, and in the
} contest Of SO. He is stullyfying bis
whole history and placing himself in

Will il buy him?
The Senator is a man Of mind and

complished sophist, and skilled in
making the worse appear the better
0 reason. He comprehends full well

. opprobrious titles upon his opponents
Q without stnt-he appeals TO the
Q coarser passions and leaves no means
untried to secure his hold upon the
Q "dead rabbits, f.shoulder hitters" and
: hard cases of society. He has much
2 ability-would that IL were consecra-
ted 10 freedom.

Q The South used him in repeating the

a him contemptuously aside at Cincin-
: natl, not even burying him decently.
1t willdo 90 again. In his own State
: even Egypt cant save him. He 10
in the u. s. Senate for the last time.
a When he shall have retired to pri-
J, vate life, and shall review his history
/ he will surely sec how he missed IL
t and that will give him scuter grieft

q upon what he might have been, viii
