A MOVEMENT AT CHICAGO.

A call has been issued at Chicago, signed by be-
tween three and four hundred persons, embracing,
it is stated, the most respectable members of the
democratic party in that city, for meeting to ex-
press their views upon the current controversy in
the ranks Of the party in the State of Illinois The
call is in the words following:
1--WE, the undersigned, democrats of Illinois, viewing
with regret the efforts made to divide the democratic
party, by drawing off its members under false prctences
from the support Of the administration Of James Buchan
an democratic President and being opposed to all
attempts to abolitionze the party believing that the
present national administration merits the hearty and
cordial support Of all true friends of democratic princi
pies and Of the Union hereby call meeting of the par
ty to be held at Metropolitan Hail. the twenty third
day Of July, 1885, for -he purpose Of reasserting
principles and maintaining them against all opposition,
whether coming from the republican party from those
heretofore of ranks who laboring for
the division and disunon Of the great democratic party
The time fixed for the meeting was last evening,
and the Chicago papers state that the meeting would
probably be q large one. The movement is import
ant indicating that the democracy of Illinois do not
intend to be merged into the backrepublican ranks
or be cstranged from their political brethren Of the
other States Of the Unionthat the integrity Of tho
party shall be maintained regardless Of all personal
considerations.

WHERE THE "HONOR" LIES.

The modesty of Judge Douglas, in monopolizng
to himself and his followers in tho last Congress, all
the "honor that was to be found in the democratic
party is characteristic Of Young America, and re-
fresng incident of the heated term 81 felt bound,
as pan Of honor and representative of Illinois,
bound by every consideration Of duty, of fidelity,
and of patriotism to resist to the utmost of my
power the contamination Of that fraud" What
will the chivary Of Virginia, the notebooks of South
Carolina the fre-eaters of the Gulf States who sup
ported the fraud say to being read out of the lists
of honorable by this preux-chevalier of Illinois
" Modesty is virtue which highly adorns roman,'
but which our Hotspur Of the North will have none
Of if his arrogaion to himself of all the chivalrous
attributes which common fame Comedies par eIcel-
lence to the Chivalry, and all the honesty which
belongs to the national democracy be the cool piece
of mpudence which one would take it to be at first
blush The democratic party has arrived at a sad
stage of degeneration when its whole southern and
northern membership can support the enactment
of " fraud, = and when Judge Douglas becomes
the solitary Chcvalier Bayard Of which it boast
But the excessive fidelity Of Judge Douglas to the
dictates of honor and patriotism is of piece with
the rare consistency which he is determined to main
tain. He could not forsake the principle of popular
sovereignty to which he had devoted all his talents
and energies since 1850, and to which he intends
to devote his powers for the residue of his life Since
1850 he has been defending that principle against
the black-republicans Of the North, and he is not
at all startled from his propriety by finding now
that they are aiding rather than resisting him
in his efforts. Whenever patriot Of our Rev.
olution in the conflicts and evolutions of bat
tie suddenly found himself fighting unawares in
the ranks of the red-coats instead Of the blues he
Immediately suspended his blows and diligently
sought an opportunity to regain the lines of his
patriots The redoubtable champion of popular SOW
ereignty from Illinois, however, seems marvelously
pleased and exultant to find himself fighting in the
ranks Of his old foes, and like the Arnold of TO-
makes even more truculent fight in his new livery
than in his old.
1t betokens distracted brain or a distorted moral
vision when champion of popular sovereignty can
exut in the alliance of the old and determined enc
mics of that doctrine and denounce its true and
tried supporters for eight years. the dishonorabIe
abettors of "fraud.'
