Ar reader are referred to another col umn for an account of the melancholy and fatal occurrence which took, place at Al ton. Illinois, and resulted in the death of tv, !?,.- F P T.nveiov and a man bv the name of Bishop. Ve regret sincerely the event, and reprobate the conduct of the mob who made the attach. liut as the doctrines of the abolitionists aro not advocated by a large majority of the people of Indiana and Illinois, we hope the former will desist from their attempts to excite the people to unlawful acts, and a violation of th laws and "kt us alone." As far ai wo have heard, the N. ork lections have resulted in a large gain for the whitf. We think h "is disenthralled." At tha latest dates the cholera was spreading in the south of France. CIRCULAR To iny Ptlloiv-Citizea.i of the. Second Congressional llist rict. I took no little pains during the late called session to send amongst you such public documents as I could, to give a knowledge of the situation of our common country, and the extraordinary subjects brought before Congress: yet 1 feel that it is my duty to salute you on my return, and to give a brief review oi uie views ami course of action of your representative, though pressed during my brief stay, by manv long neglected private concerns. When the Prfsident con ened Congress the crisis had emphatically arrived for the adoption of measures long defeated by a veto power: unhappily the result only tends to prolong contention, and to throw the country back to a point of suffering never anticipated, which renders it proper for every freeman to re-survey with care the partitions and limits of constitutional executive authority- I do in charity believe, that the President had other views and opinions than were disclosed in his message, when lie issued the proclamation to convene Congress, since those set forth were mainly under his owi control some minor matters only excepted. The merchants' bonds, for instance, liad been extended; full power existed by law to arrange and settle with the deposit banks; if there existed no surplus, the deposites with the States could not be made. The Treasury had issued obligations more innocent and serviceable to the people than Treasury Xofrx; and the Siub-Treasury system had been partially introduced, without the Hill, (laid over,) modestly christened "A Bill to impose additional duties on public officers in certain cases," which allows the executive officers to keep and disburse the public money free of immediate congressional examination or control, and sanctions this famous revolutionary scheme, conveying arbitrary discretion, under a delusive covenno-. The difficulty of keeping the public money, when more was required lor use, could not be great: and the banks were Vir'-'lv divorced from tmancial alliance, bv treasury orders. The call of the late session, therefore, at an enormous sacrifice of time and mon?v, can only be ac counted for imon a belief that the Execu tive was anxious to shift t.he responsibility of its own policy from its own shoulders, (well knowing that it had and wiU be the source of national calamity) and to oivide with Congress the high honor of its persevering efTorts, inasmuch as every thing recommended is insufficient to justify the measure It is, I lament to say, too evident, that during the time the existing functionaries at Washington insist upon their present policy, as Congress is noworganised, no fficient and general relief can be certainly calculated upon to reach "the patty" disorders which have in a few years thrown the; country from prosperityi:ii' r ,m:i and r.T.'i:irrjts?mr:t. The

message was a well laborfdocuiiient, I did not want, and we have been reluscd recommending novel measures; attribnt-1 aid to improve our national streams when mg the lamentable effects of the rxperi-j the treasury was full. It is known that nviu" to a;'$rs which hud no existence ' the late Treasury Reports excited suspiuntil its operations brought them forth, j cioti, not to be allayed by mere professions, and therefore, neees-.ir.K (the cae being 'or pretextsthat t ho Mates mo not to desperate) free of evasion. But its pro-; blame- for the course ol the administration Cessions of popular lights, and its spe-ci- that the adoption of the "specie truasuous aspect will, on a careful reading, be ! ry circular" still operating, followed the r.,.,.i t,.P subservient to a desire of 'adoption of the deposit set, and may yet

obtaining nn increased executive power, usinc the new-fangled guise of pretended l),'rnori(in to deny rdl relief to the corntry, except through executive favor. This is (substantially the drift of the message, leaving the embarrassed condition of the country without any relief. What is to become of the blessings and benefits of our republican government, which should, "like the dows of heaven fall equally upon all sections and all citizens'? Public olhccrs may have gold and silver, or six per cent Treasury notes, it is true, and favorite speculators may enter lands with government responsibilities, but the veteran revolutionary pensioner has, in many places, to be content with dishonored bank paper, and the industrious farmer and honest mechanic can get nothing else. Were it not for the policy of the administration, this dishonored bank paper would he, in most eases, as good as gold or silver, and then the rich, who require no credit, would enjoy more of the many advantages the existing policy has already bestowed. I he message intimated some exercise of 'full constitutional power for the relief of the country," but advised of nothing only the difficulties of the administration, and virtually said, without a suggestion about general relief, that the people must take care of themselves. There mav be those who are readv to misinterpret the very condensed but faithful sketch I now en deavor to cive. Some may say that I ion the President and his inca sures without valid reasons!! We!!, I anticipated all such, and let us see how ha farts stand after propounding a few luestionsj tor reflection. ere we not comparatively easy and prosperous before the destruction of a general uniform enr reney? If the present distress has not proceeded from tha wanton or venal des truction of that once existing currency, whv have so manv banks been since cre ated throughout the Union, and whv is ink paper now discredited? Why order a:ul continue a specie-paving circular: Why obstruct the fourth instalment of th surplus revenue, and ask ten millions ol lollnrs of Treasury notes, thus beguiling the States and the nation into debt? Whv has the President charged the people with over-trading and over-banking, when these charges, if true to any extent, were caused by the acts of the adminis tration, and no feasible measure offered to rescue them? Where is the State now whose upright public men do not adhere to home interests, founded upon justice and equality? here is the State, (not one in the est) whose worthy public men do not now kick up at parly dictation. if the partv policy oppose its prosperity And shall I be blamed with impunity for condemning a course clearly inimical to vour interest, union and happiness? No, your honest convictions and liberal tolera tion will defend me I arn sure. Now for a birds-eye view of my reasons and votes manv of which you already know. Without details it might suffice to say that it seemed clear to me, that the necessity claimed for tho extraordinary measures recommended, originated with, and could be cured by, a change of action in the administration itself; that to establish a United States Bank, such as I shall depict, or to receive the paper of all specie paving state banks, were the measures to revive genetal credit; that to withdraw the means of the government from speculators upon its fund, and instead of wasteful and extravagant expenditures, to correct all such. would soon afford, with unexpended bal ances ami the accruing revenue, more money than the treasury required; that relief to the administration under any stalo of things, should never become synonymous with injustice to the people; that to use the people's credit for relieving the functionaries in power, and to refuse to sanction the use of it to themselves to supply a want of money promised and withheld from them, bears the aspect of injustice and a breach of faith; that such policy must tend to prostrate the power and prolong the grievances of the people, or if persisted in, render ol little avail the free dom of which we boast, and the bountiful blessings bestowed by a benifieent providence. But I shall be more explicit. The Treasury Reports and estimates furnished at the opening of the session, brought to my mind the old Post Office Reports. They were wrapped in obscurity, and proved to be erroneous and unsatisfactory. One item omitted, about seven millions of dollars, the price of the stock held in the late bink of the United States, (the first instalment of which with interest amounting to near two millions of dollars is now paid) need only be adverted to here. Another item might be estimated; live millions of dollars retained in the treasury as a "contingent fund," asked contrary to previous precedent since the nitliiin! (l(,lf ,1-ie: .itil i .-1...1.. .uln

the act of 1R17. The payment to the promote the leading interests of the connKates of the 1th instalment, was as obi iga- try upon an equal basis, without cxclu-

tory upon the U. States, as the payment of many claims to be satisfied with treasury notes and wc all remember when the new Ftates were suffering for want of mail routes, and contractors suffering for want of their pay, Gen. Jackson proclaimed to Congress that the Post Office Department "must relv unon its own resources" nnon tha same nrincinle I was willinrr to .

leave the treasury to correct its errors, and in talk it is only the Hieh man, who to arrest th extravagant appropriations oficaii do without credit. If a gold and silver the last Congress for fortifications, break- currency weru now practicable, it would I waters, and custom housas. These wc only operate as an eipensive Ux, by its

defeat the pavnv ntof the instalment here

after that the states would have receive 1, as they had previously, the paper of tin ir own institutions, and where more was deposited in them than their share, that payment could he made by them in funds as good as the deposits: above all, a loan of gold and silver in conformity with the constitution, would have superceded the ifsue of such notes, which will become a wedge to introduce the sub-treasury scheme, laid upon the table, I trust, to lay there forever that the delusive scheme of forcing upon the country a metalic currency, and of giving to the government the control of all the gold and silver, preventing the reception of Hank paper (ns good now as when confided in bv the Treasury) is arbi trary, and injudicious, will I trust, be deem ed reasons enough lor my vote agauiit postponing the payment due to the states I voted for the act extending time to the deposit banks to pay the government, am! desired a further extension of lime that they might without oppressing the coun try still more, be free of all treasurj con trol, or intciterencc at this lime I also voted for a further extension of lime to the importing merchants to pay their duty bonds, and thus to induce in dulgence to the consumers ol the west. I would not vote for the bill to create a new national debt by issuing ten millions of dollars in treasury notes all other rea sons and objections apart, and thev are numerous, the Constitution of the U. S in my humhlo judgment, forbade acquies cence. If the scheme submitted had not embraced the withholding from the states the 4th instalment of the surplus revenue I should have voted for borrowing as the Constitution authorizes, ;i gold and silver, whatever sum the actual condition of tho treasury might on examination, have rc quired. But to create a national debt with an administration paper currency under such circumstance., is a monstrous "ex perimeni" which the freemen of the U States will surely veto on the first occa sion. on can now judge who creates a debt and authorizes the issue of mon strous paper notes a loan in gold and sil ver would have cost the people less, circu lated throughout the count- have sav ed much after trouble, and dispensed with much new and injurious treasury maehin ery. t.vcn Air. undue the mobt lnliucn tiai oi ven. jacKson s editors, condemns the sub-treasury measure. lie urges in brief what has (with other valid objections) been established, "that in the first place it widJemarge tne Lxecutive power, alrea dy too great for a Republic. 2dly, that it contributes to endanger the security of the public funds. And 3dly, that it is calcu lated to produce two currencies; a baser one for the people, and a better one for the government. Lvcrv twentieth voter in the Union at this time, is dependent upon the Executive for office. There are about two millions of votors, and upwards of one hundred thousand officers. Uct the sub-treasury be organised as a fixed system, and the number must have a large increase, and the control be proportionate to sustain existing power. The measures glanced at, occupied the greater portion of the late session; indeed all others adopted, or agitated, were of minor concern one only excepted. Ma ny petitions praying the establishment of a national bank, were presented and relerred to the committee of ways and means. I hev were all answered by a brief reso lution declaring it "incj jicdicnt to charter a ft'innal hank.'''' Various amendments were offered. I proposed sending this question to the people, to be decided by a direct vole trusting with all confidence to their penetration, patriotism, knowl edge ami experience. Uy tins l was not ourting any false issue, such as "bank or no bank." I only sought the banishment of party slang, by which many good men had been imposed on, and asked the voters of the nation which they prefer, a United States Bank free of Executive control, founded upon a specie basis and well guarded, in which the states shall enjoy in proportion to population, and share alike, or a many headed treasury bank, demanding specie under exclusive Executive control? The people should know that the officers under the Treasury scheme, whould soon monopolise all the gold and silver that the constitution gives to themselves through Congress, the control of their own money that the sub Treasury plan would be a tremendous party machine and they know enough of tried, and "untried experiments" not to have their understandings blinded when experience has shown a convertible, uniform, and general currency to be essential to promote industry, regulate commerce, and "provide for the central welfare." The truth should be made known: if Congress cannot authorise, .1 .-. . . . . i Pr,niil iinirn-m t.,,wmr.r ir.

losses, and changes, upon the ciiicrpriiiig and industrious; and for w hat? who w ould be benefited? surely the Rich who can procure all they want without credit, and whose money becomes more valuable. I have occupied space enough, and have no limi for tedious arguments; but you should look ch.seiy into the alternatives. Will not an act establishing a subtreasury system, of Land Receivers, Post Masters, and Custom iloiue oliicers, Jtc. be as obnoxious toi'ictinu Cuctrdr, as an act fMaMi.-h'iig a United States hank, owned by the States, n'r.l controled by their authority and that of the Union? herein consists the difference of constitutional power in Congress, to establish them? Every reader knows that the creation of a currency through one as through the other, is an act of constitutional sovereignty, if done on behalf of the people: and will any freeman believe that Con

gress can authorize a mere Secretary of the 1 reasury, to do at the bidding of the President, and for executive officers, what that same Congress could not authorize state agents to accomplish, for and on behalf of the whole people? There may he such freemen at this time but the doctrine would soon be fatal if once sanctioned by law. The ballot boxes of the people are no longer illusory, as all recent elections throughout the Union prove only let truth be impresses!, and patriotic purposes adhered to, will soon satisfy the just claims and expectations of the country. In the mean time I would fain wish, that although the President may refuse his consent to a People's Bank, am! the leading partisans tiv.y continue to "keep the word of promise to the ear, and break it to the sense," yet that during my brief period of service, many of your wants and interests will be duly considered and provided fonand I trust the forth coming message, will not recommend partial relief for general sufferings. Before I conclude it is proper I should make a few remarks upon two cherished objects of deep and absorbing interest: I mean, Mrncy, to secure the completion of the Ciihi'nrumd Uoud through our State and alius, to piy for construct ing the extension of the abash and l.rir Canal to such point as the General Assem bly may deem and adopt, the head of Steam Boat navigation. On the 22d September the Secretary of the Treasury of the U. States, reported to Congress the amount of drawn and unaccounted for, with the amount of unJrawn, appropriations heretofore made to the Road, up to the 12th of that month, was $181,831 13: and the amount required to fulfil existing engagements, is reported to be the same sum precisely. I shall not fail to urgo an immediate grant of means to authorize engagements on the line of the road throughout our boundaries, as the contracted work exclusively at particular points last year, has been a subject of just and general complaint. In relation to the canal lands, I lost no time after my arrival in Washington, in seeking an interview with Mr. Whitcomb, the Com. of the General Land Office, and expressing my conviction that the act of 1837, granting Lands to construct this noble work, left the point of junction with the Wabash discretionary to our own Legis lature, and rendered the interposition of Congress now for an additional selection and sale, quite unnecessary. He seemed to acquiesce in this opinion, but required time to consult the Secretary of the Trea sury, and Attorney General of the United States. One of my collea?ues. Mr. White, afterwards obtained the corres pondence previously had on the subject with our board of Internal Improvement, to address the commissioner in writing. An official answer to meet the General as sembly, will be received by our State Hoard of Commissioners, and I cannot doubt it will be favorable. The benefit to our State of the original grant, so long contested, is thus again ev ident, instead of causing, it will prevent taxation, and afford new additional motives to the further and vigorous advancement of all our State in terests. I lament that the approach of the regu lar session will not allow of time to visit every county. It is incumbent on me to return to Washington in a few days; and if my best endeavors be thwarted there by a prevailing party policy, yet more pleasing results will be in prospect. The peculiar vigor of such policy has its only strong hold now, in the capital: with the great body of the people, it is almost eradicated. Under any state of things, we can therefore look forward to the near approach of a time when we may boast with patriot ic pride, of our national rulers and their prevailing policy when all tnc grievances which now repress industry will be remedied, and our happy union spring forward in the glorious race of virtuous independence. Most Respectfully, I remain your friend and servant, JOHN EWING. Vincennes, Nov. Dili, 1837. Abolition Excitement in Alton. The following is a copy of a letter from a friend in Alton "Alton, Wednesday evening, Nov 8. The curse of Abolitionism has again fallen upon ou town. Yesterday morning at 4 o'clock. A. M. a fourth abolition press was landed lrom the .Missouri I ui , . -i ir s. r-t ton, and put into Godfrey, Oilman & Co'sware house under guard of the friends of ring the evening many individuals collectled with a full determination to destroy it 1 he warehouse was again guarueu Dy some IS or 20 friends of the cause, and when the attack was made. Air. Lovejoy fired from a window and shot down a .Mr. . ii.

Bishop The populace infuriated at this, and not being able to make entrance set fire to the building. The individual who applied the torch to the roof was about to be fired upon (or was fired upon) by Mr. Lovijoy, when he, Mr. Lovejoy, received a mortal wound from some one of the assailants. Two others ius-ide received wounds, but not dangerous. '1 hrf press was then iven up ::nd destroyed. To-day we have peace ami qiiietntss, and tru:t in ( .'.'d it mav cmtinue." It addition to the foregoing, we learn that the crowd attacked the house of Mcisrs. CndP. ev, Gi'm::i A: ( 'o's house about eleven o'clock, in the night, but finding it drfeuded, they retired. In a short time afterwards the attack was renewed. At each lime no violence was manifested

except to demand the press. Those in the I louse having refused to five unioossession. iiand having expressed their determination to resist, it was resolved by the assailants to set fire to the building. ' For this purpose a ladder was r.tised and a lire kindled on the roof. The fire when first kindled did not burn freely, and a second person ascended to add fuel to it. Whilst he was in the act of ascending the ladder, die Rev. Mr. Lovejoy came out of the house and stood opposite to the S. W. corner of the building. He fired IVom this position several times at the man ascending but without effect. A man from behind a pile of lumber on the wharf below, fired it Mr. Lovjov; the gun was charged with two balls, both of which entered Mr. L's. body, near or in the chest. Mr. L. drop ped the gun wiiu h he was in the act oi firing, ran into the house, and as he reach ed the Clerk's room, fell on the threshold and expired instantly. Those in the house now proposed sur rendering, if the fire was put out. The crowd without ascended, and carried wa ter in their hats to extinguish the flame. The doors were then thrown open, and as the crowd rushed in two guns were fired bv some of those entering. The ball from one of the guns lodged in tha ancle of a Mr. Roil, one of the defenders of the house, and is vet doubtful, whether he will not lose his leg. The other ball lodged in the foot of Mr. Y eller. Several other persons in the house were injured, in attempting to escape. As soon as the crowd had gained possession, they took tin; press; broke it tip in many pieces, and threw it into the river. All then dispersed, and by two in the mornir.g the town was again quiet. The Mayor, we learn, was on the ground attempting to arrest the disturbance, but without any effect. He narrowly escaped being wounded or killed, r.s a ball perforated his hat. Mr. Lovejoy and Mr. Bishop were both interred yesterday, and every thing seemed to indicate that the storm had subsided. Report states that Mr. L. on the evening preceding his death had agreed to leave Alton and remove his press, but was dissuaded by Dr. Beefier and some others from doing so, on the ground, thai the war had been commenced there and must be terminated there. If the press had not been surrendered a large amount of property must have been destroyed, as the stone houc in which the press was, contained more than 100,001) worth of goods, exclusive of the value of the building. Every one must regret this unfortunate occurrence but the guilt of the transaction will ever rest with those who madly and obstinately persisted in the attempt to es tablish an abolition press there. I hey were warned time after time of the consequences, and urged by every consideration, not to pi ess the attempt; but to all they turned a deaf ear, and public opinion will hold them responsible for the fatal consequences. jVissovri He pub. t ictntij-jiv I-lie's.
