Frnro the National Republican. ILLINOIS is hu;i;!! Our readers will recollect, that on the first Monday of thi month, the. people of Illinois were to determine whether they would have a convention for amending
their state constitution, or in other words j whether they would introduce slavery into that yirc state. The question has been ! settled, and to the honor of her citizens, I
and that of the nation, and our repul lican svstcm of government, it has been decided in the negative. We have seen the returns from the counties of Fayette, Montgomery, Bond, Sangamon, Marion, Madison, St. ( lair and Lawrence, in which there were in favor of a convention 1410 votes, and against it votes, leaving a ma
jority of 1183 opposed to the introduction
of slavery. It is reported the counties of Crawford, Washington and Clark, have given a majority of 264 votes against a convention, and Wayne, a small majority in favor of it. No doubt, however, now remains, that a large majority of that state are opposed to a convention, at this time, and to the introduction of slavery there at any time. :

SLAVERY. This great national evil appears to be considered in many parts of the Union, as a legitimate test of candidates icr the Presidency. It w as first employed in Virginia to injure Mr. Adams, and there can be no reason why his friends should not take advantage of it.. That slavery is a blot upon our national character, is generally acknowledged.And I ask any candid man if it is not a disgrace to our country to have such a scene exhibited in the Capital, as is related in tho follow injr article from the New York American. An opponent of Mr. Ad-inn has, in one of the Ohirt papers, brought the following charge against Liui, viz : 444th. Mr. Adam has voluntarily resided for even years in a slave fclatc, and ut this moment t a fclave holder." The fact of his residence in the District of Columbia, Eincc he haa filled the office which he now holds with so much credit to the country, is undeniahle. That slavery exists in that district is unfortunately true; but it ts not lruey that Mr. Jldamt now does, or ever did, own any human being aprojjcrty or ever was a tlave holder in any sense of the term. As this subject, however, has been forced upon the public alter tr, by the iavlucretjou of Mr. Adam1 oppo-

Fmtn the Miami Republican. NEW YORK LEGISLATURE. TTic conclusion and the Triumph! Under these clarinp capitals,-the editor of the Alhany Arnus, in reference to the late session of the N. Y. Legislature, closes a paragraph as follows: "Tftc session of the legislature has terminated in the triumph of the friends of the coristituton and the Republican party.'1' We will briefly btate the facts upon which the above assertion is founded. The Legislature of New York having by law, or rather by an unconstitutional act usurped the power of choosing the electors of President and Vice President, thus robbing the people of that state of one of the choicest rights of freemen, the latter
claiming that they were capable of exercising the right of suffrage without the aid or intervention of their representatives demanded of their legislature the restoration of this right. This demand became so universal among the people, that the Governor found it necessary to convene the legislature for the special purposes of restoring to the people their constitutional right of electing the electors of President and Vice President.
And lo, when convened, a majority of
the members of the Senate, sotting a higher value upon the share of the loaves and fishes which they expected for themselves or friends under the administration of Mr. Crawford, than upon the principles of our free government and the unbiassed exercise of the right of suffrage, determined tohold fast theimsurped authority, and thus
to trample.. uon the Constitution, and the"

One half cash in hand, and a credit of one y ear tor the other half. The purchaser will receive a certificate of his purchase from the agent at the time of sale, and on payment of the last instalment will get a deed; but should the lat-t instalment not be paid at the expiration of one year from the sale, the purchaser will torfeit the money paid, and the lot purchased will revert to the coui ty. The above town has been selected by Commit sioncrs for the permanent seat of Justice of Allen county, Indiana, und is situated on the bank of the Maumee river, which is navigable from this place to Lake Erie, and by a canal lrom eight to 15 miles in length, can be connected with the navigable part of the Wabash. By n act of the last session of Con grethe lnd through which the proposed eanal will pass has been given to the tate, and little doubt is entertained but that it will be begun and completed in a short time Thus by the New York and Indiana canals and Lake Erie, connecting the water of the Mississippi and the Hudson, will open a field for the industrious and enterprising of every class, and bring the trade of the north and south to this point. I need not add that this, wit. its other advantage, renders Fort Way ne the most desirable part of the wet for all persons wishing to live by industry. Gentlemen wishing to purchase will do well to call & examine for themselves; they will find firt quality of land yet to be purchased of the Government within less than two miles of the towu.
