"e feel greatly obliged to the numerous
Republican County Conventions in this State
which have designated the PRESS AND TIT
DuSE as the journal to publish their proceed
ings and resolutions. The obligation extends
both to the mark Of appreciation expressed,
and to the assistance thus rendered us in pro-
curing full and accurate political intelligence,
If simple lack Of space compels US to COP
dense tho proceedings furnished by tue secre-
tarics Of the Conventions, and to publish only
those resolutions which hare an especial and
peculiar significance, our renders will remem.
bcr that the WEEKLY Press Ind Tn1UrxE
contains only thirty.six columns, and that
there arc one hundred counties in Illinois,
all Of which arc holding conventions within a
period Of about Six weeks TIE impossibility
Of publishing everything sent to US in erfenso,
in our weekly edi ion, and Of doing justice ut
the same time to other topics Of newspaper
concern, will readily appear. We shall COZ
tinuc, however, to give tho substance Of every
thing Our friends may choose to send us, in

mains in force, BY which the powers Of the

clearly defined, and the rights Of individual

tho authority Of Congress, or any Committee
thereof, to exercise judicial functions, and up

thrust any man into prison. We again ex-
press the hope, that as the Republican House
