WASHBURNE'S EDWARD COLES 109 tion and it was necessary to change it. The times were hard. The farmer could find no market for his abundant crops. Manufactures languished, improvements were at a standstill, and the mechanic was without work. The country was cursed by a fluctuating and irredeemable paper currency, which had driven all real money out of circulation. The flow of emigration to the State had in a great measure ceased, but a great emigration passed through the State to Missouri. Great... numbers of well-to-do emigrants from the slave states, taking with them their slaves, were then leaving their homes to find new ones west of the Mississippi. When passing through Illinois to their destination, with their well equipped emigrant wagons, drawn by splen- did horses, with their retinue of slaves, and with all the lordly airs of that class of slaveholders, they avowed that their only reason for not settling in Illinois was that they could not hold their slaves. This fact had a very great influence, particularly in that part of the State through which the emigration passed, and people de- nounced the unwise provision of the constitution pro- hibiting slavery, and thus preventing a great influx of population, to add to the wealth of the State.
