1LLNoIs.-Our sister State has at length
achieved proud position. The Springfield
Journal says, she is now clear of all the en-
barassments occasioned by her heavy State
debt, and will hereafter stand among the in
terest paying States of the Union. She has
in the last few years increased so enormously
in all the elements of wealth, that the tax
assessments applied by law to the payment
of the interest on the State Indebtedness, are
now quite sufficient to meet the entire
amount. Henceorth she enters upon a new
career of greatness. Not only is she now
able to meet accruing interest, but ample
provision has been made by which the prin-
cipal of the debt is also gradually being paid
off. For this purpose, on the first of Janua-
IVY next, over half million, the proceeds Of
the two mill tax, will be distributed in
Springfield. At the present rate of decrease,
it will not be many years before Illinois will be
clear of debt, clear of onerous taxes, and with
a revenue derived from the Central road am
ply sufficient to meet the ordinary expenses
of the State Government. Verify, Illinois is
staring a bright future in the face.

0rThe Editors of the Republican papers
in Indiana, hold their Convention of the 9th of
this month at Indianapolis, to determine their
future course. At first, some Of the less ex-
elusive partizans intimated a wish that the
conductors of the American papers should unite
with them. This overture has been severely
rebuked by the more ultra devotees of the
party, who declare it would "be opening the
doors to let the wolves into the stable" For,
say they, "these men will really enter our
Convention, fix their wires to some unsuspect-
ing noses in order to pull them after their
hearts content, shake hands with us and be-
tray us afterwards, prevent every thorough or
organization, and keep us from inserting any
good principle in our platform.
"These Fillmore editors have characterized
themselves by an utter want of all and every
principle, and if our Convention shall accept
them, it would amount to a political suicide
On our part We therefore protest against
such scheme" The invitation has, in con-
sequence, been withdrawn, and no one who
has supported Mr.. Fillmore, is to be admitted
to this Editorial Congress.
There is some doubt of the propriety Of
editors entering into a cabal to effect any pur-
pose; or submitting theselves and the course
of their papers to the dictation or direction of
any self constituted body. Our papers have
destroyed their influence and lost the public
respect by becoming the slaves and instru-
ment of political parties.
| The chief value and the source Of the infu
ence of paper is, in its being the organ Of
the public sentiment around it. When it SUBJ
mits to be the mouth piece of central junto,
it loses its greatest merit, and abdi"ates its
highest privilege. The pride and ambition OF
every paper should be to make itself the re-
preventative Of the sentiments and feelings,
aud the defender of the interests of the com
munity in which it lives. When it cannot
fairly do this unswayed by extraueous infu-
ences, it should sink, or its conductors abdi-
cate. We presume there are few communi-
ties who desire the course of their papers be
directed by party concave at Indianapolis.
1t is an assumption of power on the part OF
the Convention, and degradation OF its mem
bers that no Independent paper ought to sub
NIT to. By it the whole press of the party
is to be made to re-echo a set of opinions that
shall be prescribed to it and made to subserve
the objects of few designing selfish party
leaders. The. effect of the Convention will
be to impair the influence of those who unite
in it, and will thereby destroy their own
power to help the cause they design to pro-
mote by it.

AUsTRALIA.-The last accounts from this
lourishing British antipodal colony, represent
it as in a very prosperous condition. Fresh
discoveries of gold had been made; silver,
copper, tin, iron, slate and marble had also
been found, from which the most sangu inc
expectations were entertained. Trade was
brisk, the colony tranquil and prosperous, and
the inhabitants generally contented and hap
py. A very animated canvass for an election
for the Legislature and other colonial officers
was going on, in which it was evident the old
colonial authorities would be overthrown.-
The question of national independence is
held up in prospective, as an event not far dis
tant.

" There is railroad being built from
Charleston to Savannah direct. Fifty-fiye
miles of the distance from Charleston is grad
ed and ready for the iron. The Legislature
Of South Carolina has recently passed an act
giving this road $1,000 per mile, as fast as
the same be graded for the iron. These old
slave States are beating the free States in the
aid which they afford to works of internal
improvements. Virginia, North Carolina, S.
Carolina and Georgia are doing more, as States,
to help along their railroads, than all the others
in the Union.

NJ The New Orleans True Delta accuses
the General Government of Partially in CIV
ing all its contracts for provisions, and for
steam, mail service to Northern men. How
can the men at the South, who have not en-
terprise enough to build, purchase or manage
q single steamship to do the freighting be-
tween their own ports, but have been depend
emit for fifty years. on the North for every ship
and steamer that floats in their waters, expect
the government to giye-them the carrying OF
all the mails and doing the public service,
when they are unable to perform their own
home business? Every connection between
New Orleans and the Gulf ports in Alabama,
Florida, Texas and Mexico, is kept up by
Northern steamers, built by Northern capital,
and managed by Northern men. n. Orleans
does not own single ship to carry her own
cotton. The South could not perform the
service for three times the price for which
Northern men now do it. Her genius is in
the management of negroes and the growing
of cotton. The grumbling is unreasonable
and querrelous.
