from the country entered a large private house
in that city, and demanded dinner. A dinner

message will probably be delivered tomorrow.
In it he recommends q complete reconstruction
of the present military plan that the most
liberal legislative encouragement be given to
the formation of volunteer companies through.
out the State.
He recommends that the banks Of the State
be required to secure their circulation exclu.
sively by the United States and Illinois stocks.
In regard to the difficulties at present exist.
ing South, he says: If grievances to any por-
ton of our Confederation have arisen within the
Union, let them be redressed within the Union.
If unconstitutional laws trenching upon the
guaranteed rights Of any Of our sister States
have found place upon our statute books, let
them be removed. II prejudice and alienation
toward any of our fellow countrymen has fast
ened upon our minds, let it be dismissed and
forgotten. Let US be just to ourselves and
each other, allowing neither threats to drive US
from what we deem to be our duty, nor pride
of opinion prevent us from correcting wherein
we may have erred.
He recommends that if Illinois has passed
any laws tending to obstruct the operation OF
Federal authority, or conflicting with the con.
stitutional rights of others, they at once be
repealed.
Speaking, not merely for himself, but reflect.
ing what he assumes to be the voice Of the
whole people of Illinois, irrespective of party,
as it reaches him from all quarters, he adopts
the sentiments of President Jackson" The
Federal Union it must be preserved ITO
which sentiment he trusts the Legislature will
give emphatic expression at an early day.
The finances Of the State are represented to
be in q very PROSPEROUS condition.
