Prospectus of'.The Weekly
HesPerian.''
A Journal DsrOtd 10 he Lisray hsre,h Of
The Mi'sis'iPpi Vaiey.

On Saturday, the fifth Of January,
1867, the subscriber commenced the
publication Of The WEEKLY HEspg.
RAN, a paper which, in matter and
style, he hopes to render acceptable
TO the soundest judgment and the
most delicate taste.
The lIesperian will be strictly lite.
rary, and its columns will contain
Romances, Essays, Poems, Historical
and Biographical Sketches, Reviews,
and articles on various other literary
topics. Religion It will leave to the
pulpit politics to the hastings, yet
at the same time it will endeayor to
inculcate q taste for the beautiful and
true among all classes and circles.
The leading feature Of the Hespe.
rian will be It's devotion to the LITE.
RARY INTERESTS Of the Mississippi
Valley. Here, il is evident, are to
be the homes Of the great body Of
the American people: and here will
be the mind, the energy and the
wealth to sustain and direct the af.
fairs Of our American Society. How
essential, then, that this mind be ele-
waited and refined, and how fitting
that the attempt be made at st. Louis,
already the bushes center, as il ought
to be the literary center Of our great
valley.
HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY
will form a special feature Of the
Hesperian. The history Of st. Louis
was commenced in the first number.
and it will be followed by a series Of
historical articles relating to New
Orleans, Memphis, Louisville, Gin.
einnati, Chicago, and oil the noted
cities in the Mississippi Valley. Ac.
curatc and interesting biographical
sketches Of the most prominent and
enterprising citizens will appear from
time to time in its columns.
MONTHLY FASHION Reports will
be published. These reports will
contain the latest Eastern fashion, as
well as a description Of what is worn
in the West.
CONTRIBUTORS OF MERIT,
and Of established reputation, have
already been engaged; and the pro.
prietor hopes, before many weeks, to
be able 10 announce hat he has en-.
listed the entire literary talent Of the
West.

What Radicalism Has Done.

Radicalism has been in power only about
seven years, yet it has accomplished much.
1t has lowered the standard of citizenship
in eleven states, by for-;ng negro suffrage
Ivy arms upon the unarmed people of the
south.
1t has made oaths valueless and of no eff
feet, By examining them down the throats of
unwilling and protesting millions!
1t has lowered the standard OF society, by
debaslng practices
1t has made vagabonds and homeless out
casts of the black race, which once fulfilled
its mission in the progress and advance
ment of the age.
1t has led to the violent death of more
than million human beings!
1t has burdened the country with debt
of many billions, which can never be paid
1t has mortgaged every mans farm and
house to secure yearly tribute to the
wealthy, which must endure for genera
fons
1t has prostituted the former purity of the
Judiciary, substituting partisan prejudices
for law, and party malignancy for iusticel
1t has rendered the poor man poorer and
the rich man richer
1t has set law at naught and over-ridden
cherished customs
1t has established military despotism over
American citizens in times of profound
peace
In fact, it has played the devil effectually
and is now dying its dogs death.-Niles
Senttnel.
The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1867-11-04

Among the names of the early statesmen
this country which are ofteu used by high
tariff advocates at the present day in sup
port of prohibitory duties, is that of General
Washington. Nothing could be more gra.
tuitous assumption. Notwithstanding that
there were reasons, in the infancy of the ma
ton, in favor of protective duties, which do
not now exist, nearly all of the publicists of
that day were against such duties, and for
such an ad justment as would permit the
freest trade possible, We are reminded of
this fact by glancing through some private
letters, just now published for the first time,
addressed by General Washington to the
Marquis de ChastelluK, one of the French
noblemen who fought in our revolution
There are thirteen of these letters, written
fromll7sl to 1888, and it is from one dated
at Mount Vernon, September 5, 1855, tina,
We quote:
at gives me great pleasure to find by my last
letters from France that the dark clouds which
overspread your hemisphere yielding to the
sunshine of peace. My first wish is to see the
blessings of it difused through all countries zane
among all ranks in every country, and that we
should consider ourselves the children of q
common parent and be disposed to acts of broth
erly Kindness toward one another, In that case
restrictions Of trade mould ranish /; should
take your wines, your fruits, and surplusage Of
such articles necessities convenience
might require, and in return give you our fish
our OIL, our tobacco our naval stores etc. and il
like manner should exchange produce with othe
countries. to the reciprocal advantage of each.
And, as the globe is large, why need we wrangt
for a small spot it? If one country cannot con
tain US, another should open its arms to us"

originally built of frame, over twenty years
ago, on the corner now occupied by the
American Express Company; was burned
down in ls43; rebuilt of frame on the site
of the present fremont; was again burned
down in lS49; and the present edifce, of
brick, was then built, in 1850, by Ira Couch
the croakers of those days Chicago has
always had its croakers) calling it "Couch's
folly" and predicting his early failure. 1t,
however, proved "a success." In 1853 the
Gage Brothers purchased the furniture OF
the hotel, and leased the establishment for
ten years. Mr.. Drake purchased an interest
with the Gage Brothers in 1855, and has
been the active business manager of the ho-
tel ever since. The great success of the
fremont during all the subsequent years
has been in a great measure due to the ener
CIV of his management. In 1863, the Ire
mont was raised to grade. enlarged and re
novated, and all the modern hotel improve
ments introduced into the establishment
and it has been going on prosperously as
popular first class hotel ever since, and vii
no doubt continue to do so.
The many friends Of George W. Gage
ESQ.,, whose pleasant face and gentleman,
courtesies have for so many years been prom
inent characteristics of the fremont, will re
| greet to learn that he is about to retire iron
| that establishment. May JOY and good fol-
| tune continue to attend him in whateve
| sphere of active life he may enter in the fl
