The democrats of Illinois will hold their State con-
ven,ion on the oath inst for the nomination of State Of
cers and presidential electors, and for the selection of
delegates to the national convention Most Of the coun
ties have already acted, believe, and it is important
that the State convention should be well attended The
democracy of that State will engage in generous rivalry
with the democracy of Missouri in the coming election
to which win give the largest majority for cause.
In Missouri the party united with cordi-

district represented by Mr. Wentworth. We doubt not
however thai the dssenson existing there will be sea-

Resenting a Kindness.

Several months ago, the proprietor oftfe
Herald inserted in this paper the card of
Isaac Hodges Of Platteville, merely as an act
of gratuitous kindness toward an old ac-
quaintance. We never asked nor expected
any pay for it. After silently enjoying the
benefit of our publication Of his card for
the greater part of year, and meeting US
often in Plattevile without intimating an OBJ
lection to its publication, here comes this Mr..
Hodges with an advertisement in the coli
umns Of the Platteville paper, notifying us
to discontinue his card. We will do so
with pleasure; il il were only as an act of
Justice to the mercantile establishments Of
Platteville, which are respectable.

Attempt to Murder.

A Memphis paper gives the following par
tlculars of a most diabolical attempt at muir
der last week, some twelve miles below
GAINESVILLE, by young man named Wynn,
son of a widow lady of that county. WYNN
had stolen off two of his mothers negroes,
and sold them in Mississippi On return
from Vickburg he formed an acquaintance
and friendship with a young man from Ohio
or Pennsylvania, whose name our informant
did not recollect. At the mouth of the Cum
herland Wynn induced this young man to
go up home with him, by promising to 60
on with him to Ohio or Pennsylvania, in
short while. Some twelve miles below
GAINESVILLE they both landed, Wynn stating
that they would take by-path, a near way
to his mothers house. They had proceed
ed short distance, when Wynn, the other
young man being in advance, drew a pistol
and shot the young man in the neck. The
wound though it only grazed the neck, pass
ing through the hair, brought him to the
ground. Wynn then beat him over the
head with the pistol; and TO make still surer,
took out his knife and drew it across his
neck on both sides, cutting through his era
vat and inflicting deep gashes, though with
out cutting the arteries. Wynn then rified
his pockets, taking a considerable sum of
money from about his person. He then ri
fled his companions trunk, and after salts
flying himself by turning over the body and
calling to him by name, that he was dead,
he returned TO the river and crossed over to
Palmyra to take an Ohio river boat then ly-
ing there.
When he was gone the young man so far
recovered as to be able to reach the river
where he detailed the facts above given,
describing the money taken from him and
the clothes taken out of his trunk by Wynn.
Pursuit was made and Wynn was arrested
in Palmyra, the money found in his posses
