ILLINOIS learn from Springfield that Gov Ma'teson
has appointed Hon N Edwards Of that city State Su
pernte OF Common Schools Meetings being held
h the State protecting against the repeal Of the
Missouri Compromise and expressing the greatest indgna
ton at the resolutions adopted by Douglas pntisans in
the Legislature in favor of the Nebraska bill
One ofthe Illinois delegation in Congress Hon Richard
Yates the Representative om the With District throws
zone additional light the adoption Of these resolutions
ofnstructon lie says in the speech he delivered in Con
gress the 23d ult
And it is my opinion that majority of the people OF
the State of Illinois will rspudiate this measure notwth
standing il goes them with the prestige OF such high
names the Senator and my colleague, both Of whom
share largely in the confidence and consideration OF the
people that State The passage Of resolutions through
the Legislature favorable to the bill has been
herslded great triumph, but when properly under
stood they will be regarded in the light Of most signal
defeat In fact cir stronger evidence Of the popular
odium OF this measure be presented from any
section of the country than evinced by the action OF the
Illinois Legislature. There one hundred members in
both Houses, and only forty fve-not msjority OF the
whole number-voted for the resolutions or hy four
Democratic member in the House. only twenty seven
voted for-just one haf-snd Of twenty one Democrats
in the senate only fourteen voted for the resolutions OF
the seventy five Democratic members in both Houses,
thirty four either voted against the bill or lodged the
question And yet Sir this called victory IL in that
Legislature composed Of the personal and political friends
of the 81 and my colleague, with whom their inia
ence upon all Of party and policy has been a.
most omnipotent such is the fearful falling off, is It not
omineus Of deep and strong condemnation Of the mea
.ure by the people upon whom the stringent appliances
of party domination and discipline cannot be brought to
