vassalage, and deprived of her place in
the Senate, then the West will begin to
calculate the justice Of the present politi-
cal arrangement. She feels now that, in
this war, she has done all the fighting
and is paying all the taxes Immense
applause The high tariff excused by
the debt of the country is enriching the
manufacturers of Massachusetts at the
expense of the farmer of Illinois, and
that continually growing and increasing
debt may make this unjust and injurious
policy the permanent habit of the govern
ment. The West and the South, upon
this question, agree in that great princi-
pie of political economy that leaves trade
unembarrassed by legislative enactments.
They would support the government and
pay its debts, not by enriching capital at
the expense Of labor, but by taxing capt.
tai and protecting labor They would
have, as the universal rule of commerce
throughout the world, GREE TRADE AND
SAILORS RIGHTS" Immense applause
ia contest Oh these principles, without
her southern ally, the West would exer-
else a power in the government entirely
disproportlonate TO her extent Of area and
her population.
New England with twelve Senators,
has 40 area Of 65, 092 square miles and
a population of 8 ,137 ,301 souls
The northwestern States, with fourteen
Senators, have an area of 1856, 533 square
miles and population of 1902, 226
souls.
Ohio and Illinois, having together an
area of $1,000 square miles, nearly
oiae-tiird larger than all New England,
and population of 4,551 1852 souls,
nearly ne.fourth larger than the popu-
lation of all New England, have four
Senators, or only one-third of the repre-
sentation of New England in that body.
The New England States have as large
a population at this time as they will have
for many years to come. The West is
increasing with incalculable rapidity, and
her fertile fields can sustain population
as large as that of the Russian dominions
Massachusetts has population of one
hundred and fifty-seven to the square
mile, and when Illinois shall have a popu-
lation bearing the same proportion to her
area, she will number her people as eight
million sac hundred and niaety-eigM
thousand. This disproportion must,
therefore, become greater and more APP
parent in each succeeding year.
The West would maintain the Union
as our fathers made it, and by the same
compromises; and unembarrassed by any
sentiment of abstract rights, but inau-
enced by sound Judgment, acting upon
rights established by law, and dealing
with systems and conditions, not as she
would have made them in the first in
stance, but as she finds them existing
now, aoiR preseroe the Union. And we
shall yet behold, in the front of the great
procession of nations, the banner of the
Republic, with its honor untarnished, its
glory undiminished, and respondent with
the efulgence of ALL ITS STARS. Long
continued applause and cheering

FACT, TUY AND FANCY

Common sense is valuable in all
kinds of business, except love making.
"A sweet temper in wife is worth

him, and the other because we do.
The man who was stuck up with
pride has been taken down, and hangs on

hook should give way, let him lie upon
his own liabilities until he is prepared to
sleep on clear conscience.

goes unrebuked: A wag has invented a
new telegraph. He proposes to place a
line of women (widows preferred) fifty
steps apart, and commit the news to the

Gen. Meade's Advance.

New YORK, Nov. 3o.-The Philadelphia
Enquirer to-day publishes report of Gen
Meade's advance, furnished by one OF its
correspondents at Versiersville, 8 post vii
lage in Orange county, Va, IL miles from
Orange G. H. The despatch furnishing the
information is dated Saturday noon as fol
lows: When our cavalry and artillery were
driving the rebels down the turnpike to-
wards Orange q. Il. and were within eight
miles of that place nothing but skirmishing
bad taken place since the army crossed the
Rapidan, and our losses were slight being
confined to cavalry, Our left wing was ex
tended out to the wilderness and Spottsyl-
vania @. H. The rebels make but feeble
resistance and fall back whenever they are
pressed. 1t is reported that the rebel force
at Fredericksburg has retreated towards
Richmond, and thus we hold the roads that
run direct from Fredericksburg to Cor
louisville. We have succeeded in cutting
the rebel left from the main army and it IS
hoped that many are already taken prison
ers Rains have annoyed the army to a
great extent, but will delay them bnt very
few hours.

Through some mistake the Sd corps did
not get into position as soon as expected,
which gave the enemy temporarily some
