Free Soil NItkli6g-the darkies arcuslng.

The ''gemmen" of the sable race held
meeting in Chicago on the 18th. ult.,
the proceedings (which was published
in the Western Citizen. A committee
was appointed to correspond with the
cOlOred"PhplatiOn' ,hrOughoutihe State,
in order to effect such an organization as
will bring about repeal Of all laws that
make distinction between the whites
and blacks. Resolutions were passed,
calculated to influence our next Legisla.
ture, and to bring about repeal of the
laws which they characterize as "a dark
spot which disgraces the pages of our
statutes" The people,of the State were
ecensuEed in the resolution, for adopting
the clause in our new constitution in re"
gard to negroes.
This meeting was great demonstra-
ton in favor. ofthe Van Buren, movement.
The darkies on beholding the honors
heaped upon the odoriferous Bibb, and
Douglass at the Buffalo convention, are
determined upon declaring and maintain
ing their rights in this State. They,
probably, if the vote for Van Buren, IS
sufficiently strong. will take measures
Immediately for calling a convention to
amend our constitutions. The prospect Of
I'the,increase' Of the abolition party by Mr..
Van Buren, dessfting his own party and

Messrs. EDIToRs:-
The great Democratic mass conven.
ton, which came offat Paris on yester.
day, was most splendid affair; and the
manner i'm which it wal conducted, did
great honor to the Democracy OF the Wa.
bash, and shows that all is right for Cass
and Butler in Illinois and Indiana. The
number PRESENTS variously estimated; but
the most competent judges fix the mini
mum, at fifteen thousand. 1t was mighty
outpouring of the sterling Democracy Of
the Wabash Valley; and the feeling Of
enthusiasm which was manifested, caused
the cheek Of %higgery to turn pale, and
shrink in dismay before the mighty dem.
onstratiJn of principle.
At eleven o'clock, a procession was
formed, extending more than four'miles in
length, which after marching round the
town, halted in a beautiful grove selected
for the occasion, where the vast multitude
was entertained till late hour in the
day, by speeches from the Hon. Joseph
A. Wright, of indiana, Hon. O. b. Flick
lin, Hon. w. i. Ferguson, and other dis
tinguished speakers; which for force of ar.
gument, eloquence and productivity, have
never heard excelled. The lucid manner
in which Mr.. Wright proved the fhIlaciec
of the whig party, and showed their iden
~ with the federalist of 1910. was thos
striking. He held up the Janus facec
policy ofthe whig party in its true light
and after stripping off all the trappin IS
which have been thrown around it. tc
conceal its deformity, he made its cor
ruption and rottenness so apparent, tha
to use the expression of distinguished
man in our country, "You could see them
with the naked eye"
The convention adjourned about five
o'clock, and after candle light, the speak
ing was resumed at the Court House. land
continued till hour. S. S. Hayes, Esq
State Elector, addressed the immense
assembly at the Court House, in a very
happy and effective manner. Several
new converts to the democratic faith were
present, and two or three of them made
speeches. giving the why's and where
| fores for their announcement Of whiggery.
The hand of fellowship was extended to
! them, and they were cordially received
into the ranks o. the democratic party.
At "a late hour. the meeting adjourned
after sending up their tremendous shouts
for Cass, Butler and Democracy, to meet
the wings at the polls in November next

ROADS,.


Our neighbor over the way, in his last
number, pits forth labored article on
the subject of roads in the neighborhood
of this town. And in the midst of many
we'll tined remarks, he eviuces the quer-
ulous character of his temperament on
the subject Of road supervisors. He en-
deavors TO convey the idea that universal
delinquency was chargeable in that quar-.
ter.
Now we apprehend that if the editors
patriotism had prompted him TO make as
frequene visits to Plainfeld, since as be-
fore election, he would have discovered
that great change has come over the
Joliet portion of the road, connecting US
with that beautiful localiV--that even the
great lion of the way, the "6ig Slough

trious and energetic citizens, is rapidly
improving. These improvements would
have been made in the early part of the
Summer, had it not been for the album,

clusion, that the supervisor on the route
referred to, is democrat, consequently.

DEMOCRACY.

The following extract from the writings
of Thomas Jefferson, is brief exposition
of some of the principles Of Democracy:
Equal and exact justice to all men, of
whatever state or persuasion, religious or
political peace, commerce and honest
Friendship with all nations, entangling al
,iances with none; the support Of the State
governments in all their ri ghts, as the mosl
administrations for our domestic
concerns, and the surest bulwarks against
'anti-repubican tendencies; the preservation
Eof the general government in its whole
constitutional vigor, as the sheet-anchor of
our peace at home, and safety abroad, a
jealous care of the right Of election by the
people; mild corrective Of abuses, which
arc Topped by the sword Of revolution,
where peaceabIe remedies are unprovided
!: FOR, absolute acquiesence in the decisions
lot the majority, the vital principle of re-
gpublics. from which there is no appeal but
force, the vital principle and immediate pa
rent of despotism, well disciplined mill
tia, our best reliance in peace, and for the
first moments of war, till regulars may re-
slieve them; the supremacy Of The civil over
/ the military authorities; economy in the
spublic expense, that labor may be lightly
Sburdened; the honest payment our debts.
and sacred preservation of the public faith;
encouragement Of agriculture, and of COM
MERGE as its handmade; the diffusion OF
sinformation and arrangement Of all abuses
at the bar of public reason: freedom of re.
of the prcss-and free
dom of persons, under the protection oil
: the habeas corpus-and trials by jurie.
selected. These principles
sform the brightest constellation of which
has gone before us and guided our steps
through the age Of revolution and relorma
slion. The wisdom Of our sages and blood
] of our heroes have been devoted to their
attainment, they should be the creed OF
I our political faith-lhe text Of civil instruc
stions-the touchstone by which to try the
sservice of those we trust-and, should we
awander from them in moments of error OF
{ alarm, let US hasten to retract our steps
