I will take the State oif Illinois fr ristunee. and what I say af that State asill hold of qthers. making allowance fact dliference of local cijcumnstances. The State of Illinois uu dertook .a fe w year' since the conlstructioe of a ship canal of abouet 100 mili in length, to unite the waters of Lake Michi gan usith those of the lilinois river ; and moro-recently projected end commenced the esecutioni of 1300 miles of 'railway. On these works mace ha. borrowedl and ex pondled above 20,000.000 of pounds. T~ze work -is incomplete arnd sonprodnetive. The. populhation of t be Stato is that of a secoted sized English county, short of half a million. It is what in good times would ho conisidered an.- emuined~rif proeJerous population ; butil am inclined to think that if rhe Englishincometuaof lastg'ear were, by the -Legislature of -Illinois, laid on that State, more than half -the popuala tion possessing in the aggregate that pro portion of taxable pronpsery, -would, in thme present period of general distress. faell be low .the point of esemption. and that of the other half a small number only would r ise above that point.- Andl yet the un fdeveloped resources of llinois are almost boundless. The State is larger than En glaod and Wales. Bly the Mississippi it is counectedl with the Gulf of Mexico, by Lake Atichigan with the St. Lawrence; and it has a most eztensive internal navi gation by means of several noble rivers. The clinatne of the State is mild ; it con taius, I suppose, as large a body of land, not merely cultivable, but highly fertile, as can be found lying. together in the Uni ied States; it abouide in various kinds of mineral wealth , it is situated about in the centre of a horizontal field of bitumi nous coal. which Mr. Lydell pronounced the other day to is as long as Great Bri tain; and it is inhabited by an industrious, frugal, iutelligcnt people, tuost rapidly increasing iu numbers. That sauch a peo ple will for any length of time submit to a total pvristratiou ofpublic credit I can never b3lieve. -I btir,gent!emen. the loss as well as tie. reproach, for vwidespread and severe as has been the sufering in this count-ry., enused by the default of some of thestao% I mar own losses, public andl private, I be lieve to base becn greater. -The states thermselves, as govcrnments, have expe-I rietced the greiest embarrassmeonts frrn the sudden destruatiou of crediL (er~'nd Ittg alike 10 Ihose states which have andl those which have not he,uornbly and promptly set their oblhgationit) hfti credit on which alunc, iu some instances, they .epenaded for the resources neeessary .toa omplete and render productive their pub. 4c.%yorks. -Tbo grneral Government of the united Sintes, after havine paid oti a >ublic debt ul nore than 2S00,00),000 of dollars, has found itself unable to negwtiaie a trifling loau in this great metropolis of the finatcial world, whose superabundant apital, but for th1e default of some of tie states, would have conueinel to be for those states thenbelves, and for inldividu a. a vast gold mine of unexhansted ca. pneity.

Auil yet, genleten, the elasticity ad power of recovery in the couutry are reat beyond ihe conoeption of those n ho o uot know it from personal observation. -ven within this disastrous period, to which I base alluded, a private commer ial debt to ihis county, estimated at twen iy five millions of pounds sterling, has been pail by the American merchant. with as little loss to the credi'ers as would attend the collciin of an equal amount of domestic dcbt, in this or any other country.. .
