government as the rich: Tha, we are on
posed to the assumption of the state deh,s
by the general government, because The
federal government being one of limited
powers, has no right to make the ci,;zers
oil one state, who have acted pruden,lv
and husbanded their resources, paw a ,ay
to hquidaie debts contracted bv citizens
oil different states, which they had I'M
voice IN making, either personally or bv
'''eir representatives: That we are oppo.
SEQ to the creation of any more limited
States Banks or National Excbeopers be-
cause their tendency is, as demonstrated
by sad experience, to make the favored
few rich, and the mass of the peo,la Moor
destroying the just landmarks of renubl;.
can simplicity, virtue, and equality and
that the only distinction recognized in w.
publican governments is virtue, temner
ance, and intelligence.
6. ResOlved, That, while we will cheer
fully support the nominees of the demo-
cratic National Convention vet. we nre.
fer, for President, MARTIN VAN BU-
Rem, of New York, who has been weigh.
ed in the democratic balance and not fonnd
wanting, and whose integrity and ability
have been fully established and for Vice
President. Col, RICHARD M. JOHN.
SON, of Kentucky, whose valor has been
tested in the field and whose counsels
have given character TO our nation: and
although beaten at the last election. we
feel the more solciious that they should
again be nominated, that we NAV, with
the same men, wipe from our natianal
escutcheon the disgrace of the hard cider
campaign Of 1910.
Z. Resolved, That, in view of the ap-
preaching county, congressional, and pre-
sidential elections, it is the duty of every
democrat 10 aid in thoroughly organizing
our party, that the principles of the de-
mocracy may again be in the ascendancy
and our country no longer disgraced by
the misrule Of the sell-slyled wing party.
8. ReSOlUed, That this meeting will ap-
point central county committee of five,
whose duty it shall be to call primary
meetings of the democratic party, county
conventions, correspond with the precinct
committees, and perform such other SER
vices as the interests of the democratic
party may demand.
The meeting appointed the following
gentlemen said committee : Lorenzo Lee
land, Fl. G. Cotton, L. B. Delano, VIM.
I Reddick, and John Hse.
The proceedings were ordered to bo
signed by the officers and published in
the Illinois Free Trader, and then, on mo-
ton, the meeting adjourned.

New Hampshire Election.

The election took place in this state on the 18th
of March. Henry Hubbard was reelected Cover
nor, and Edmund Burke, John X. Redling, John
+. Hale, and Moses Norris jr., are elected to con-
gress. The regularly nominated democratic tick
ct for governor and for congress have as usual in
this state, been successful. both branches of the
state Legislature have majority of tho old regu-
lar democratic par,y.--Hubbard's majority has
been greatly reduced from last year. We are not
able now to give the precise vote.

Lord BrOugham-This distinguished British
statesman, orator, lawyer, critic, and decidedly a
"great gun" made use of tho following language

so infinitely over value, perhaps, the import.
once, the vital Importance to the interest Of this
country and of mankind at large, of good under
standing, of cordial footing being restored be-
tween this country and our kinsmen Of America.
that care not how this line of boundary is drawn.
| am utterly indifferent what direction that line
takes; let it goa few miles or leagues to the right
or left, even let it affect Cape Rouse, even let it
affect the navigation of the st. Johns river--wel-
come! take it all! Give it up! Give me peace

THE FREE TRADER.
Ottawa, ILL.,, Friday, April z, 1913
'R'hc Presidency.

BY reference to the proceedings "a the mass
meeting OF the democratic party of this county, 1t
will be seen that resolution has been adopted
expressing preference for MARTIN VAN
buren, of New York, and RICHARD NJ.
JOHNSON of Kentucky, as the democratic can
ddates for 1914. In obedience to this expressed
preference of the democracy Of this county, be-
ing in accordance with our own views and de-
sires, we this week hoist once more the banner OF
VAN BUREN, & JOHNSON to our mast head,
as the democratic candidates for 1911, SUBJECT
TO the decision of a National COnvention. In doing
so, we cannot let the opportunity pass without
briefly aiverting to the claims Of the defeated can
Jidatcs of $780, to the Partially and favor of the
democracy in 1914.
Two full years have now elapsed since the
democratic President and Vice President retired
from their stations, to make room for their success
sors, who came with flushed counienances and
nking bones to manage the affairs of this mighty
nation. The storm tina. carried them triumphant
Iy over the democratic batllements, yet rang in
their cars, and goaded them on to the work before
them. The axe of the guillotinc was sharpened,
and its bloody work commenced. Democratic
heads were Topped off, one by one until the work
was finished. All ready, the administration of
tho nations affairs commenced, and the result is
before the world. Two years have the people
witnessed the rule of the whigs---half a presI-
dental terrl-and where are the blessings so con-
fidently promised the people! Echo answers,
,oherc ? On every side we hear the voice Of con-
demnation, and the very men who assisted to
PROSTATE the democracy are now anxious to re-
store them to power. The wing party itself, once
apparently so mighty--so powerful, is as a broken
rced-borne down with the weight of its own cor
rup,ion and Encouragement. They even arc led
TO disown each other, and chief Of their own
choice Is deridcd, vllilicd, and abused.
This being the condition of the wings, it well
becomes the democrats to rally once more under
the old banner of 1910. 1t has lost none of its
former brightness by the smoke Of tho enemy's
guns. Its old and war-worn stripes are yet
cheering and beautiful to behold, and the demo-
eracy will rally, as one man, to its rescue, and
bear it triumphant from the field. To achieve a
victory is always desirable, and doubly so will be
the one that replaces Van Buren, & Johnson in
the country's service. They fell in good cause
living sacrifices to the democratic creed-and
gratitude and Justice demands their restoration
The democracy Of La Sale has bucklcd on her
arnor--the banner is unfurled--we have nailed
it to the mast, and, with the APPROPRIATION Of the
democracy Of the Union, will follow i. unninch-
ingly to the battles close.

STATE Of Society in 81. Louis.--From the follow,
ing which we find in the St. Louis Republican Of
the Both ult.. it appears that "ihe fools not all
dead yet" The idea tina; the doctrines Of any re-
lisious denomination, no matter how absurd, can
be suppressed by mob violence, is as insane as it
is disgraceful to the city in which the attempt is
made.
MHerism IN 81. L0ui3-An immense concourse
OF persons assembled at Concert Hall yesterday
evening" to hear the disciples of Miller hold forth.
The meeting was more like the mass meeting
held in this city, the late Tyler meeting in New
York, than any thing we can compare it to- Soon
after the speaker commenced, clapping and all
sorts of noises were uttered. Scotch snuff or cay
enne pepper had been scattered over the loor and
all sorts OF SMILING and coughing ensued--cggs
were thrown at the speakers, their charts were
torn down, and the disturbance arose TO such an
extent that Mr.. Xaupi, the lessee of the room, had
to appear on the stage and request the audience
not to iniure the room. On the outside, several
hundred were collected in the street, and some
evil persons threw stones into the front windows.
When this commenced the meeting broke up.
The whole was as unlike a religious meeting as
can well be conceived Of; in fact, i, approached
very near 4 mob.

Tie Cioc'atg TFbe Of Iadiaps.--The Arkansas
Telegraph furnishes, from the Choctaw Almanac,
statistics indicative of the progress of this tribe to-
wards civilization:
They have printing press, from which they
have issued, up to September, 1912, $4,000 i'm
prcssions, or more than three millions of pages,
consisting ORGANISATIONS of books pamphlets, &c.
They have also contributed $4,000 to the build
ing Of central college, where they intend to conf
pletc the education Of Choctaw youth, and pre-
pare teachers for the general instruction Of youth
Their country is divided into four districts.
There are courts of law in each, judges inferior
aud superior, with all the necessary officers. Re-
ligious and temperance societies abound, and trade
is carried on with spirit.--tho population OF the
four districts which comprise their territory is II,
600. There are many missionaries among them
In one district there are eighteen, fourteen OF
whom are of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

a good efec, in preserving harmony IN the demo-
cratic ranks.
The proceedings Of the meeting were character
lied throughout by the utmost harmony and good
feeling all the former dissentions Of the demo-
Gratis OF this county appeared to have been forgot
ten, and the great mass moved together as one
man-as friends, and as DEmocRATs. So mote
it always he! II, in our future meetings. the de-
mocracy suffer themselves to be guided by the
same spirit there will be no more divisions in the
ranks of the democracy of La Sale, and, when
the time of voting comes, she will be found in her
place, to the perfect dismay of whigcry.
But, that this union may always be preserved
in ourranks, we cannot too earnestly urge upon
the precincts the Importance of acting upon the
suggestions contained in the first four resolu-
tons. ]; is fact that cannot be concealed, that
most, if not all of the divisions in the democratic
ranks of this county heretofore, have resulted from
the looseness, and, in some cases. positive unfair
ness with which our conventions have been
got up. A few expert party taciiclan' could, un-
der the old system, pack any convention without
the least difficulty, ana make whatever nomna-
tons they pleased. The nominations made IN
this manner were very seldom such that the whole
party could be united upon, and the consequence
was invariably disunion in our ranks. This can
only be avoided in future by the adoption OF a
new and better system, and that, we think, will
be attaiued by acting upon the suggestions of the
resolutions to which we have referred We hope
to see the different precincts take this matter in
hand. Let all the delegates to the county con-
yontion be elected on the same day; let no citizen
of one precinct be permitted to interfere in the de-
lcgate election of another precinct; and let the va
cances that may occur in the delegations from
the different precincts be filled only by and from
the precincts themselves in which they occur, and
we will bear no more Of uulairness, no more Of
disuniou, and no more Of JohiRg regular nomi-
lions.
