absolute necessity, inasmuch d New

have adopted constitutions without
such a submission and in considera-
ton Of the fact that the people OF
Kansas will have an opportunity to
make any change they may deem
proper, Immediately upon her admlss-
Jonas State, exist therefore, TO quiet
the baneful excitement; throughout the
country, thinks it preferable, as meas
urc Of policy, to admit her under the
Lecompton Constitution, even. though
1t may not express the will OF MAORI
ty of her citizens. No damage can re-
suit from this course, as change IN
relation to slavery can be made in a
muc h shorter space of time than by
any other arrangement.
In this position We have ever sns-
tanned the administration and al
though members Of our party, in this
city, may differ with us As to the poll
cy of the plan, We consider them none
the less democrats.
We can see no good reason for a
split or division upon this question.
We regret exceedingly, the course
which has been pursued by the Demo
cratic Party and its organs in the
State of Illinois; and we trust,-as the
consequences Of continued division
must be disastrous,-that before the
convention adjourns We shall be able to
lay before our readers statement that
all differences have been healed, and
that the two bodies of delegates have
gone harmoniusly to work together.
The members of the convention can
not but understand the necessity OF
union, not only, in their approaching
state contest but also to the Demo
cratic Party throughout the Union.
If the differences be not reconciled,
the result must inevitably be, defeat
in their State election, and disconr-
agciug influence exerted upon the par
ty in their State.
In Union there is strength.

"Our JESSIE

at appears by the biographies Of Mr..
Benton now appearing in the papers, that
"Our jessie" was christened Ann, and that
she had no right whatever to the name OF
Jessie; but assumed it for political pur-
poses"-Ez.
Alas that such heavy wet blanket
should be thrown upon the poetical
admirers Of John Charles Ere
mont, the "Rocky Mountain Path
fndc."-thc "man who parts his hair
in the middle and the husband OF
"Our Jessie"
Jessie is pretty name-a name
out ofwhich POLITICALLY disposed young
gentlemen, in eighteen hundred and
tifty-six, drew machine inspiration !;
but Ann-plain, homely, Ann-has no
poetry in it.
The matter is only a trihc, but it is
one of a thousand upon which John
Charles Fremont hoped to ride into
popularity-and the presidency.
1t is small, contemplate election
cering trick, which would have been
beneath, any person other than an ad-
venturer.
The mere fact that John Charles
Fremont, would stoop to the dirty,
mean, disgraceful trick Of changing his
wife's maine for the purpose Of gain
ing popularity is sufficient to prove
him totally unfit for the high office to
which he aspired; and wholly unworthy
Of either the respect, or confidence OF
the people.
We hope now, that we have heard
the last of "John Charles Fremont for
Pr resident in 1902
Since writing the above we clip the
following we'll written paragraph upon
the same aubject from an exchange
which supported Fremont in 1856 /:
We are shocked and undone, our feelings
violated and our confidence destroyed 1t
turns out that Jessie Fremont, "our Jessie"
is humbug, myth. canard, an election
eering card. Her name is Ann-Ann Ben
ton Fremont-plain. simple, homely Ann,
and nothing more Jessie was family nick
name. perpetuated through 1855 to catch
votes and make poetry with. The discovery
is fatal to Col. Fremont in 1860. The Re
publicans can never fight another battle un-
der his lead without "our Jessie" We ten
der our sympathies to that army of proud
mothers with two year old babies named
Jessie Fremont. It is too bad-really too
bad.

The Illinois State Convention.

The Democratic State Convention
Of the State OF Illinois, met yesterday,
we presume, pursuant to call, at the
State House in Springfield.
The number Of delegates to be elect
ed, was five hundred and thirty.
1t is useless to disguise the fact, that
much difficulty has been anticipated
on account of the fact that the Demo
Gratis Of the State of Illinois are divided
among themselves, upon the Lecomp-
ton question; and have elected two sets
OF delegates, representing the Douglas
and the Buchanan sides of the ques-
ton.
Both Of these bodies, probably met
yesterday, each claiming to be the true
Democratic Convention.
1t cannot but be a source Of serious
regret to the National Democrats in all
sections Of the country, that the party
in the State Of Illinois, should thus al.
low themselves to be divided, and thus
draw'a line between the Administration
and Mr.. Douglas when the only exist
ing difference, is upon question of
policy.
If some new principle were about to
be established, or some additional
plank to be introduced into that plat
form-standing upon which the glori-
Gus victory of 1856, was achieved
the matter might be different.
There, then might perhaps, be some
reason for a division. But Mr.. Buch-
anan and Mr.. Douglas, both, stand to-
day, upon the platform Of ls56-both
advocate and sustain the principle of
popular soverignty-both freely &C.
