Read Them Out.

We would suggest to the Democratic
party Of Illinois, that Convention be
called at Springfield, or some aer con-
venient part of the State, to take into
consideration the proprie.y of formally
accommodating the adherents of Doug
las Nebraska scheme, from the grea,
democratic brotherhood. As long as they
are suffered TO remain in full fellowship
with those who stand upon the Baltimore
Platform of 1852, we can never again be
victorious over our enemies, the Wings.
Time enough has elapsed for them to re-
pent OF their heresies, and recant: bu,
the longer they are INDUCED, the more
intoierant anu iactious they become
we see no other cour Q than TO deal with
them as open and ayowed enemies; thew
are wofse-deseuers Of the ancient stan
dard, IN an hour Of need; and as such
they should be punished. 1t is idle to
wait any longer; The election approach
es and something mus, be done to save
US from certain defeat. Men aad bre,h-
rem what say you'-Ga. Jefsrsoaian.

A VERY IMPORTANT MOVEMENT or
THE GENERAL LAND OFFIoE.-We I'm.
derstand that the Secretary OF the Interior
is about to restore to market" all the
land withheld from sale on account of the
contemplated railroads running through
or near them, except, of course, in cases
where Congress has actually made the
grants for railroad purposes asked. A
large body Of very desirable land will
thus again become subject to private en-
Try at 81 IS per acre, or 10 location with
land scrip. This is important to be speed
lily and widely known by way of prevent.
ing speculation in Wash. Star.

R1- We learn that our old friend
jerks has taken the job Of Transporting
the mail from Fulton City to Upton, and
is now making the necessary arrange
ments to run hack between those points
semi-weekly, and will be prepared to
carry passengers. At Fulton City this
line will connect with the line Of stages
to Dixon and Rockford, so that we can
have direct communication with those
points.
In these days of mail failures, and Of
so much irregularity in their transporta-

RAILWAY TRAvELIso.-Mr. Meg 5
OF New York, in an elaborate paper on
railways says that the Emperor of Russia
has taken the frs, great step towards the
ulsimatum of railroad travel. Instead OF
cutting mere drill through the country,
and going around everything in the way
OF a straight line, he has cut broad way,
800 miles, from ST. Pe,ersburgh to Mos.
cow. He has made it oil the way 200
feet wide; so that the engineer sees every.
thing that comes on the road. The rail-
road from point to point runs with ma,he-
ma'lcal line. The rails ten times stronger
than are now used, the locomotive on
wheels of far greater diamater, puage .f
relative breadth, the signals and time
perfectly settled the roads on both sides
during the transit OF trains, having the
gates Of the wall closed-thea instead ~
travelling loo miles an hour, we shall
more safely travel 800 miles an hour
That now seems fast enough. as did 20
lew years ago, and we are now O.,
very unsafe rails on some straight runs
treated 10 90 miles an hour In this cou,trv
and in England 100.

Price of Stock.

During the past few weeks there has been
grea, falling off IN the price Of stock. Cattle
have fallen nearly one half in the interior parts
of the country where they depend more upon
corn. and where the crop has suffered severely.
Cows that would have brought from twenty to
thirty dollars few weeks ago, could now be
purchased at from ten to fifteen dollars. Stock
hogs it would be difficult 10 sell FOR want Of pur-
chasers, owing to the price and great scarcity
of the grain which would be required to faften
them. The roads leading from our drouth smit-
ten prairies to ST. Louis, and other parts have
been thronged with cattle, as owners were de-
sirous to sell before the time for feeding came
upon them. Many OF these cattle were in rath-
err poor order, as the grass in the woods and
prairies has suffered like al growing things
therefore they were the less saleable, Under
these circumstances prices have ranged very
low.
This fall in the price Of stock has been pro-
duced solely by the failure Of the corn crop;
there are no other reasons TOR decline, and
we venture to predict that next summer will see
stock much higher than ever, ~ there vii be
much greater demand FOR it, owing to the
failure Of pork; besides the number of cattle
viii be fright ully diminished, by excessive
slauy atering at these low rates; when every
other kind Of eatabes is high, or by cattle dy-
inS in the winter for the want of food. Look
out for the price Of stock in IS. Chester Ran

Ncbxas.sa Meeting at the NORTH
MarketHau
.NS.7TURD.1f EVENING
SPEECH or LIEUT.. GOV. WILLARD.

1, was ANNOUNCED las. week that Lieut..
Gov. Willard, Of Indiana, would speak
in Dearborn Park OH Saturday afternoon
on the Kansas Nebraska Bill and Know
No,hingism. For some reason which we
did no, learn, the meeting was adjourned
to the North Market Halt to commence
at Z o'clock in the evening.
AT that hour quite large crowd as
sembled, and by 8 o'clock the Hall was
crowded. Gov. Willard was speaking
when we go. there, and was engaged in
discussing the Kansas-Nebraska act. -
He is forcible and pleasing speaker,
and handled all the arguments which can
be advanced ia favor OF tina, measure with
much ability and power. The only trou-
BILE seemed to be ,ha,:she had bad cause.
He dwelt at length upon the sophistry 50
often refuted, that the bill simply grant
ed to the people the right to govern them
selves. II was thrown back in his teeth
from the crowd, that the people had that
night before. The bill was different from
other territorial bills, IN that it permitted
slavery TO go there that is just what and
all Il did. The question was settled be-
fore and so it should have remained.
There was throughout the meeting at
times too much "no;se and confusion"-
altogether too much for the credit of Chi.
cago, as our enemies here and elsewhere
will endeavor to create sympathy for their
cause by again declaring tina. the meet
ing was controlled by mob. This is the
farthest thing possible from the truth
The people were throughout in the best
possible humor. 1t is true they asked
many very kno,ty questions, a portion of
which Gov. Willard did not and could
not answer; but he bore all this with the
greatest good nature, and pursued a
course directly the reverse Of Senator
Douglas. Three cheers were given for
he Compromise several times for Tom
Benton for the speaker, and various 9TH
ers: and in almost every instance three
: stuAning awful groans for Douglas.
After one of these had subsidized, some
one said, "Now shake your fist''-at an.
other, Poor Douglas" Sc, &c.-alt Of
which were received with peals Of laugh.
ter. Mr.. Douglas Sd, upon the stage,
and of course was not d,slnterested
listener to all that was said.
Of one thing, we think all who were
at the meeting were perfectly satisfied,
and that is that the people OF Chicago
have no. only read the Nebraska bill,
but they have carefully studied the en-
tire history of their country. BY their
questions and answers to Gov. Willard,
they showed themselves perfectly famil-
lar with every fact and every subject and
argument winch ne introduced Indeed
they were as much at home as the speak
er on whatever ground he chose TO lead
them. True, there were some half dog
en- loaiers, VINO sometimes made fools of
themselves and disturbed the meeting,
but the people, with these exceptions,
were disposed TO hear him patiently
