For the Signal .

lux tIlc SISildl
MEssERs. EDIToRs:-I observe in cir.
culation Hand Bill commencing thus:
independent Democrats of Will
Your committee, at the request of the
Democratic Party, have come to the con-
cluson that the proper wayto bring suita.
BILE Candidates before the People, can
best be accomplished by calling a Meet
ing of the Democratic Party at Joliet, Nov.
9th, l947,at 10 o'clock, A. Nj. To devise
the best mode of operation.
Now, without stopping to object TO the
murder perpetrated upon the English
language in the above sentence, proceed
to enquire Of that sagacious committee
when, where, and in what manner the
above request was made known to them?
and whether the sweeping charge of cor
ruption they make in the next sentence
against the party theyassume to represent,
was also part of the trust confided to
them at the same time;which is as follows:
at is we'll known to a majority Of the
voters Of this county, that the Convention
System has become so corrupt that an
unassuming, honest individual is neither
safe nor satisfied with their proceeding !;
because, as general thing, they are
conducted without regard to worth, or
principle. As it has operated for the last
few years, three or four individuals have
made the nominations as best suited their
designs, without regard to the wants or
will of their constituents"
Another assault upon the Kings Eng.
lish, " hich pass over in a spirit of
compassion, and proceed in detail to tie
workings of this monster system of cur
ruption. as follows:--Four years ago

"When the brigade in which the CON-
mercial city of Cleveland is situated, was
called uponto aid in this war, only about
thirty human beings could be found sunk
so low in the depths of moral deprayity
as to be willing to join in cutting the
throats of their fellow man in Mexico. An
other brigade in my district, after search.
ing all the haunts of vice and dissipa-
ton, was able to furnish three volunteers
for this war. 1t should be borne in mind
that not one of the whole number was a
whig.-Giddiags, Speech.

THE CoURr HousE.--The work on
the new Court House will be resumed,
as the contract has been re.let by the
Co. Commissioners at called session OF

The new contractors are Messrs. Boss,

practical mechanics, and doubtless will
ensure the speedy completion of the
building. The building is to be CON-
pleted for SIS, roc.

CANAL MATTERs.-In to,day's paper
will be seen the report ola meeting of the
bondholders, which we copy from the
New York Herald. As will be seen, the
meeting was held for the purpose of seek
ing information in relation to the progress
of the work on the canal. The state
ments of the Herald, certainly, places Mr..
Leavitt, one of the Trustees on the part
ofthe bondholders, in no enviabIe light
before the people of this state. The dec.
laration that he did not scare straw for
the people of Illinois," has been fully pro
ven since his appointment as canal Trus-
tee. This meeting of the hondholders,
was the result ofCol. Oakley's visit to
New York, and the cause of the two
foreign Trustees visit to Illinois. Their
stay, however, has been short, as we
learn they have, already, left Chicago
on their return to New York. We are
alad to SEQ thai the bondholders are he.
ginning to show disposition to ferret out,
and correct abuses on the line of canal.

Later from Vera Cruz.

There had been no further arrival from
Vera Cruz, but the N. D. Pieaynne ofthe
26th publishes further letters received per
last packet. Ii is said that the guerrillas
in the vicinity OF Vera Cruz are taking
measures 10 dis tress the inhabitants of
that city by cutting off the supplies ofpro
visions daily sentn. Hitherto the count
ny folks have been allowed to carry on
their marketing freely; now, acting under
superior orders, the guerrilleros are cut
ting off this traffic. The Arco Iris pro-
tests against such a measure, il it has the
sanction ofthe Government Ofthe State of
Vera Cruz. II denounces it as inbuman,
as bearing intolerablg upon the poorer
classes ofcitizens, and as certainto bring
upon the country the curse Of foreign
as well as civil war.
The Picayune's correspondent writes.
under date Oct. 18th, that Gen. Patterson,
a few days 5efore, had despatched two
companies of Texan Rangers and some
other mounted men to scour the country
between the Jalapa and Orizaba roads.
where guerrillas were known to be quar-.
tered, aud arms and ammunition 10 be
stored. A few miles above Santa Fe a
party of Rangers came upon rancho,
where they found ammunition. and several
hundred bushels of American corn. They
burned the rancho, and then discovered
by the numerous explosions, that loaded,
firearms were concealed there. In the
vicinity of Medelil another party discov-
cred large quantities of arms and ammu.

0FEvery one. perhaps, recollects the
statement, which has been published and
upon which MIR. Corwin and other Mexi.
can orators of this country have harped
with the most sympathetic appeals. that
our army had killed a Mexican girl while
she was engaged in performing kind off
ces towards our wounded soldiers. In
reply to which, we publish the following
resolution which was adopted at a meet.
ing ofreturned volunteer SHIELD at Dayton,
Ohio-COrwin's own State:
"Resolred, That the unpatriotic course
of Senator Corwin in Congress, exhibited
more love and sympathy for the Next
cans than he did for his own countrymen,
and should be distinguished as infamous;
that his speech ;eeming with misrepres
entaIions, the object of which was to ex.
cite the pity and commisseration for the
Mexicans, and hatred, disgust and con.
tempt for us, and the cause in which we
were voluntarily engaged; that of such a
character was his allusion to the ange
Mexican girl who was blown to atoms
with cannon-ball while engaged il
carrying water to Stake the thirst ofthe
wounded and dying soldiers; II of which
if true, would have been deplorable in
deed, though we from actual observation
know that this lovely Mexican girl wa:
in truth none other than disgusting fe
male robber, plundering the bodies Of the
dead and dying soldiers when a muske
ball struck her,"

milton. and killed some sixty guerrillas.
When the Rangers returned to their camp
they were fully "armed and equipped a.
the law Directs" and little more 30.
All had new sabres dangling by their
sides, some had on gaudy uniforms, with
cooked hats, and numerous others curious
looking articls of clothing and Ornanaant.

THE NORTH WESTERN EDUcAroR.-
This is the title OF monthly periodical,
which has just been started in Chicago.

literature, and the first number displays a
degree Of talent which will render the
work useful and interesting. Itcontains
80 pages, and the typographical execution
is creditable. ]. L. Enos, publisher

the privilege. This is not the first time
that this has been minated by them--as
a hand bill which they had printed at the
wing Office on the eve of the last election
will show. Blu: if is any qualification
to them thus 90 stigmatize us, we say let
them enjoy it to their hearts content
We have not been so Fortunate as some of
them have been, TO be elevated to Offices.
where we could live without labor, but an
assurance that we have done our duty,
causes us to view such reflections in their
proper light.
No one can mistake the objects of this
call at this time. The editor ofthe "rhig
paper" and some prominent wings in this
place, have assisted in getting up this
movement. The common object is the
humiliation of the Democratic party in
this county. Ifthere is an honest democrat
who is unwilling to believe this, let them
examine the character & designs of some
of the leaders in this movement, and they
must see that the result will be disastrous
TO the party. Will such attempts at "dis-
organization" be countenanced by the re-
publican party of this county? Every
democrat must see the folly and madness
of assisting these men and their rhig al
lies in the accomplishment oftheir unhal.
lowed designs.
We have been induced to speak in the
manner we have, by our attachment to
the long established principles and usages
of the party. These men in this county
who now are attempting to revolutionize
the present organization ofthe democrat.
ic party OF the Union, will doubtless again
attack the printers of the Signal" but it
matters not, so long as we have the assur.
ance that we are upholdinga system which
alone can ensure concert OF action in the
democratic party. Whereverth the conven-
ton system has been abandoned,the party
has been disbanded AID defeated. If its
decisions are not adhered to, the princi-
piles Of the party, which are so essential
to the prosperity Of tie country cannot be
vindicated.
We do not deny that corruption may
and has crept into our conventions, in
some instances, but can any system be
adopted SO as TO avoid these evils? If a
compromise was desirable by the opposing
elements ofour party, why was no others
allowed to participate in this call, than
those who have declared in favor of a
"mass meeting" Tor nominating candi.
dates? The reason is too plain, gentle
men, you feared free expression of the
people. So soon as we see a spirit oil
reconciliation manifested, we will be ready
20 do all in our power to forward so desi.
rable an enterprise. But in the light in
which we view this call, we have no con.
fidence in the professions of keeping
"fraud and demagogueism from ruling the
people," at "mass meeting" where
such influences and motives govern The
wings may well rejoice, Cor if principles
(and not the spoils, are not adopted as
the rallying point between the two sec
tions of the party, the inevitable result
will be an overthrow of the democratic
party in the county.
