DISTRESSING CONDITION OF LEGISLATURE.
The Springfield correspondent of the Chi
cage Tribune says that the honors of seat
in the Illinois Legislature have grown to be
exceedingly irksomo to majority of the
members. They are now working at dollar
a day, and boarding themselves at $14 a
week-a disproportion between wages and
expenditure that will not long be endured
A few are sick physically, and all are home
sick. Close rooms, poor board, whiskey and
bad air have done the work for their bodies.
and disappointed hopes of greatness to be here
achieved have had their proper mental effect.
There is nor man within the bar of either
House who is not ready to forswear legisla-
tive honors forever

Mr.. Goggin Repddiates tho Convention
which Nominated him.

In the course of the speech of Mr.. Bolts
delivered before the Know Nothing Con-
vention Of Richmond, he remarked that !'if
there was State of free negroes, author
lied by the constitution to vote, he would
accept their aid to elect his candidate."-
And his whole speech, this sentiment in
cluded, was endorsed by the convention in
the following resolution
Resolved, That the Wings and Amer
cans of Virginia, IN Contention assembled,
have listened with delight and satisfaction
to the able and conclusive address Of Hon.
John NJ. Bolts, delivered in this place to-
day, and that in their name he be request
ed to canvass the State at every convenient
point, in favor of the election of Goggin,
Wiley and Preston"
By being thus endorsed, that speech in
Guiding the obnoxious sentiment, became
plank in the opposition platform, and a part
and parcel Of their creed. When Mr..
Letcher here charged Mr. Goggin with
having endorsed that sentiment in Harris
onburg, he (Mr. Goggin) en.phat;cally and
Indignantly denied the imputation. thus
REPUDIATING THE CONVENTION
WHICH NOMINATED HIM.
Now, we ask the gentlemen who COM
posed that convention, and the party which
they represented, if they feel inclined to
support man who does not hesitate openly
and Indignantly to repudiate with scorn
what they have thought worthy to be inccr
porated in their creed.
N. B.-Since writing the above, we have
received the Richmond Wing, denying that
Mr. Goggin had repudiated that portion of
Mr.. Bolts speech, declaring his (Mr. Bolts
willingness to accept aid from free negroes
enthusiastically entitled to vote, and citing
from correspondent to prove the contrary.
Now, ours memory is distiaet ca this sub-
ject, and if necessary every word which we
are about to say can be substaatiated. Mr..
Letcher, in Staunton, charged Mr.. Goggin
with having endorsed at Harrisonbarg that
sentiment We don't think he read from any
particular version Of the speech) of Mr..
Bolts. Mr.. Goggin arose and emphaticaz-
ly denaed the charge, SO emphatically as to
be almost offensive, and in denying refer
red particularly to the illustration of the
free negroes.
Mr.. Spurgeoa has been foolish enough to
write-so it is saia-a letter to his friends
here announcing his inteation to pitch into
the slave owners without mercy, and do his
best before he returns to Exeter Hall, to
put whip in every honest mans hand to
lash the rascals naked through the world
1t this statement be true, as Rev. Mr.. Cor
ey intimated it was-in the 10Th Street Bap
fist Church in New York, last Sunday eve
ning-Mr. Spsrgeon would do well to indef-
lnately postpone his visit to this heather land.

Mr.. Bolts and the People Of King VIII
@ liam.

We are glad to see that the MASSES Of the
opposition even, are unwilling to acquiesce
in the sentiments expressed by Mr.. Bolts
in his speech before the opposition conven-
ton, which We would have.it understood, was
applauded and endorsed in toto BY that con-
vention. Mr.. B. B Douglas, Of King
William, in letter to the Richmond En-
quirer, asking information in reference to
that speech, says:
''At King and Queen Court, on Thurs
day last, the opposition held q meeting
which was addressed by two gentlemen from
the East !; and, after the meeting adjourn
ed, | ATTEMPTED, upon call from the Dem
ocrats, to address the people. Ihad pro-
ceeded but for a short time. however, before,
in commenting on Mr.. Bolts scheme of a
coalition against the democracy, I referred
to his declaration Of willingness to accept
aid from free negroes, if there was common
wealth composed of such, comstit,aiomally
endowed with the right of suffrage. This
called up one Of the gentlemen who had ad-
dressed the opposition meeting, who stated
that I had mistaken Mr.. Bolts position,
Getting from memory and that he was sure
his friend (myself would not Intentionally
misrepresent him or any one else. I met
this with prompt assurance that [ would
not misrepresent Mr.. B. intentionally. and
I would not knowingly do injustice, but
that felt very confident that not but my
friend was mistaken. The reply to this
from the opposition ranks, was clamorous,
not to say insulting contradiction, accom-
panied with such a continued uproar and
confusion, that was forced to bring my re-
marks to an abrupt conclusion and descend
from the stand"
Mr.. Douglas was perfectly right. Mr..
Bolts did make that declaration, and that
sentiment was endorsed by the Know Moth
ing Convention, and we hope the charge
will be rung in the ears Of the Opposition
from every stump in the State. The will
fully obtuse Opposition editors and polite
ians of the State, who can't for their lives
see what Mr.. Bolts or his speech has to do
with Goggin or this canvass, will see by this
demonstration in King William that the
honest masses Of their party think it very
pertinent to the issue in question.

While this curl was in progress, we are
told many good whis eye was moistened,
and indeed, zoe caught an amiable old gen.
tleman in the fact; in truth, this was one
OF the finest strains Of eloquence we ever
heard, on something which never existed,
except in the excited brain Of poor Goggin,
who, as we have shown, is in the habit of
drawing on his imagination for his facts. .
The 'illustrious martyr" also aattered our
county pride not a little by very original
and new quotation from Washington, about
banner which the Father of his country
only wished ''to plant on the mountains Of

We have thus reviewed briefly, Mr..
Goggin's speech here. We have shown
that in his statement Of facts he is exceed
ingly inaccurate, and in his attempts at ora
tory very unfortunate. This is what We said
Of him before, and we have been contra
dicted by our opponents. We leave all
candid men to judge between us. And this
is the man SO culpably inaccurate in politics,
so ignorant of the history of his own State,
who is set up by the opposition as superior
to lletcher, the thoroughly posted polite
