The inc ease in the population of this state
during the last five years has been 1876 227,
and that mott, outstanding tie state sent 25S.-
600 men to the army. This addition TO the
population of Illinois in five years is more
than the entire population of California with
all its gold fields The rapid increase Of the
population of the state is attributable to Its
large extent of prairie soil, fertile and easily
cultivated, requiring no clsf ing and entire
ly free from rocks and stones, so that often
you may so many 10 les without being able
to find stone. Ii has also o great variety of
climate, reaching farther north than Boston,
and farther south than Richmond.
Out Of 80, 10000 acres of land, Illinois
contains 80, 900, 900 acres of tillable ground.
Only one-seventh of this has yet been touch
ed by the plough, yet this ons-seven-h has
sustained its population OF 2, las, IT'S, and fur
nished surplus of food for expectation,
enough no doubt to sustain 2. 000,0 900 more.
Now, if one-seventh of the state, with it's i'm
perfect culture, furnishes food for four mil
lions of people, cannot the whole state sustain
a population of twenty five millions ?-Bos-

The Fenians and President johnson.

1t is no Hattery to say of the Irish priesthood
in this country, that it is made up of we'll edu-
Gated, hIghmlnded, conservative class of gentle
men, whose influence is invariably on the eide of
good order and the government 1t is signii-
cant fact that, had their iocks listened to their
advice the Canadian raid would never have
taken place. Their good sense taught them at
once the folly of such Quixotic sally, and they
threw cold water upon it. For once their voices
were impotent to prevent the mischief
The Canadians, even the Canadian Irish were
united almost to a man against the fenian inya-
ders, and if our government had not interfe
very few OF the would-be invaders would have
returned alive. Doubtless they would have sold
their lives dearly, for the Irish are constitution
ally brave, but they must have been overwhem-
ed by united and indignant people fighting for
their iresides. Every bush and wall in Canada
would have belched forth death at Sweeny's
troops. Even the most .supine win become des-
perate in defence of their homes and wives and
children
Fault has been found with President
johnson, because he did not interfere earlier
How could he shave done so. He could not
move until an overt act had been committed.
Inc fenans may thank their stars that he did
interfere vigorously and successfully To his
interference thousands of them owe it that they
are now alive, enjoying this lovely June weather,
and not fostering under the sods of Canada
aundry radical papers are endeavoring to
make political capital out of the presidents ac-
. .toh oy melting the Irish against him. But if
'.e iehians will beshink themselves they never

and organs have for the most part, until very
recently, been used to treating all lrashmen as
verisable animals-brute beasts-and they will
find that they cannot, by any magic there is in
few honeyed words make this abused animal
forget such treatment. Some eelfseeking Irish
men, here and there, may lick the hand that a
moment ago dashed him, but the immense major
ity of the Irish know well enough who have
been and still remain their enemies. At the
late Roberts meeting IN New York, to the eA,

scended from its high esta.s its glory would be
gone forever aud the assembiage responded
to this sentiment by repeated cheers.
1t must be evident to every intelligent fenian
that President johnson has done nothing more
than duty required of him. The president did
not hurry obviously to interrupt the warlike
movements of the fenians; but delayed the is
sue of his proclamation to the moment when il
was evident to everybody Of any sense or knowl
edge in the matter failure to do il would sub
ject him to the most damaging imputations of a

In congress the radicals are, as elsewhere,
trying to fool the fenians. A democrat moved
the repeal of the neutrality laws. Why, if as
they pretend, the radicals wish success to the
fenians did not the radicals in the house support
this motion? Instead of doing this they smoth-
cred it under other motions. The other day Mr..
Hogan, of this district, introduced resolution
calling upon the president for information as to
whether any steps have been taken by our gov
eminent in regard to the liberation of the fenian
prisoners captured during the late movement on
Canada But the radicals would not permit this
inquiry to be made. Banks (radical,) of Massa
chusetts, opposed it.
The radicals who hatter themselves that the
Irish are the brute beasts and stupid asses which
so many their presses Qike the Westliche Post
of this city, have so openly and frequently de
scribed them to be, will find by and by that the
fenians are not quite the fools they took them

REASONS WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH
Made at Waltham, Mass.
Is THE BEST.

II ismsde % the beat principle. Its frame is
composed of solid plates. No jar can interfere
with the harmony of its working and no sudden
shock can damage its machinery. Every piece 10
m ade and finished by machinery (itself famous for
its sovelty as well tor etfeetivenessD and 10
therefore properly made. The watch is Whist all
IN echanism should bezS Accurate, Simple StrsEg
and Economical Except some high grades, too
costly for general use, foreign watches are chiefly
made by women and boys. such watches are
composed of several hundred pieces, screwed
and riveted together and require constant pairs
to keep them any kind of order. All persons
who have carried 'sancres, - "lepines" and "Eng-
llsh Patent Levers,'' are perfectly well aware of
the truth OF this statement.
At the beginning ofour enterprise more than ten
wears ago, II was our first object to make thor
ough good low-preed watch for the million, to
tas the place of these foreign impositlons-the
refuse of foreign factores-whIc h were entirely
unsuitable at home and perfectly worthless every
where.
How well we have accomplished this NAV be
understood from the tact, that after many years
OF public trlal, now make more than haifof all
the watches sold in the United States, and that
others have ever given such universal satisfaction.
While this department of our business is contin-
ed with increased facilities foI perfect work, we
at present engaged IN the manufacture OF
watches OF the very highest grade known to
chronometry, unequalled by anything hitherto
sde by ourselves, and unsurpassed by anything
made the world. For this purpose we have
the amplest facilities. We have erected an addi-
ton to main building expressly for this branch
of our business, and have filled It with the best
work men IN ourservIce. New machines and ap
pliances have been Constructed, which perform
their work with consummate delicacy and exact
ness. The choicest and most approved materials
only used and challenge comparison be
tween this grade of our work and the finest i'm
ported thermometers. We do not pretend to sell
our watches Tor less money than foreign watches,
but we 90 assert without fear of contradiction
that for the same money our product Is incOmpar-
ably superior. All our watches, of whatever
grade, are fully warranted, and this warrantee is
good at all times against US OF our agents in all
parts OF TIE world.
CAUTIOS.-The public are cautioned to buy on
ly OF respectable dealers. All persons selling
counterfeIts will be prosecuted.
