- Shoulder Arms ,,s

The Chicago Journal and the other
Republican, organs of that city, are in favor
OF Il reorganization Of the Wide Awakes
for the purpose of making war upon the
South. \ meeting OF the clicers aud mem
bers Of the different clubs Of that citv MAS
held on Saturday uight tor the purpose, at
which It IS SAID there was great display
OF capes and torches and courage.
Ii these Chicago Wide Awakes are really

assault on this city aud reca2ture the

this way and they will get CLEANED out"
in about half the time they were before
In conclusion, We will give the gallant
Republican Knights of Chicago problem
which may be Of benefit to them when thew
come to engage the SOutherners in deadly
conflict: viz; if six Democrats of Joliet
put to flight three hundred aud fftv Cbiea

win County Demos .acy.

We would call attention to the proceed
ings of the mass convention of the Democ-
racy of this county, which we give in to-
days paper.
Considering that no nominations were to
be made, and that the convention was held
merely for the purpose of expressing the
sentiments of the party in regard to the
issues involved in the present alarming
national crisis, the convention was better
attended than we expected it would be-
and all appeared TO realize the true condi-
ton of affairs and to be willing to unite in
favor Of any measure to dispel the threat
ening storm.
The resolutions adopted by the conveu-
ton are such as might be expected from
the Democracy of viii county. They
breathe the true sentiments. Indeed, we
defy any one to produce reasonable argu
ment against the policy recommended by
them. They proclaim sentiments in con-
sonance with the feelings of every patriot
and Democrat. While they stand by the
Uuinn with uufinching tenacity, at the
same time they proclaim opposition to CO..
ercion ard civil war so popular at present
with our Republican friends
Relative to the course Of our present diff
fculties, the resolutions place the resp5n-
sibili'y where it justly belongs. They
/ charge the Republicans with the respousi>
5ility of breaking up this nation, and rec
ommend the only policy. which, if carried
cut, would save the Union from the i'm
pending dangers.
Nobly have the Democracy of Will coun.
ty responded to the call of our State com
mittee. The resolutions are such as must
command the appreciation of every genuine
Democrat and patriot in the land; and the
men chosen to represent the county in
the State convention, are the most prom
inent members OF our party-and men
whose wisdom and patriotism will contrib,
ute to allay, if possible, the storm which
threatens to overwhelm US as a nation

The Offices Apporitoned.

We learn that the central junto have ap-
p1rtionei the Offices for this city Streeter
is u have a jndgeship, Mcintosh the post
Office, Barteson the position of State S
Prison Inspector, and Oliver Simmons the
mail agency on the Cut OF railroad. The
jnntu was at Springfield last week, when
the whole matter was arranged.
The result doubtless is satisfactory to
Messrs. Streeter, Mcintosh, Bartieson, and
Slmmcns, but is not Sc pleasant to the feel
ings of the other expectan,s, Messrs. Bra
den, Wallace. Stillman, HutchIns. Woods
ruff. Houghtelling, Stoddard, Adams,
Snspp, Palmer, and George. However the
juntO has spoken and they must acquiesce.
THE LoAvEs.-It is said that Wilson of
the Journal Is TO have the Chicago post
Office, aud Ray of the Tribune is to contin-
ne to hold his present fat Office of Canal
Trustee, but that Wentworth Of the Demo-
crat must be content tc chew the husks as
payment for his gallaptry in the Black
Republican army.

Abuse of the President.

We learn from the Joliet Signal that "
certain Democratic paper printed not far
from our State capitol" has been guilty
of - Ill timed denunciation and abuse Of
President Buchanan" 1t seems to us that
democratic papers can be better empIoyed
when the country is convulsed with excite
ment, than in abusing democratic Presi-
dent, or fighting with each other. No
man doubts that the sincere desire of the
President Is TO save the Union, and we trust
that the democratic press Of Illinois, with
out exception. is aetuated by a similar de-
sire. Then why quarrel with or abuse on Q
another when the country is in peril 2 We

Wari NarIi

As we in common with Democrats pre-
dicted, Republicanism'has finally destroyed
the Confederacy.
Four States, South Carolina, Alabama,
Mississippi, and Florida, have already
Withdrawn from the Union, and six more
will speedily follow. By the first Of April,
at fartherest, it is almost certain that every
slave holding State will have seeded.
War has commenced aud the roar Of
cannon echoed the death knell of freedom.
Can any true patriot and friend of free
government read the telegraphic dispatches
given in to days paper without feeling of
alarm and horror?
Can it lie possible that nothing will sat-
isfy the Republicans but the splitting of
fraternal blood?
judging from the speeches of their Lead
ers, it seems even SO.

The Legislature.

The Legislature of this State met at the
capitol u week ago yesterday, but as vet
little has been attended to but the intro>
dactIon of resolutions and the laying down
| OF the programme for the session.
The Republicans, as our readers are
aware, have majority in both Houses.
and, OF course, will have things all their
own way. Already have they shown that
1t Is their purpose to make all legislation
subveTsive to the interests Of their marty
regardless alike Of the commands of JUS
t'ce or the rights Of the people. The Dem
oeratlc force IN the Legislature, though in
the minority, embraces some of the ablest
and best men in the State, and will contend
molly for the right, and doubtless do much
good In checking the mereenury and reck>
less career of the opposition.
On Wednesday, the 9th. both Houses
met in joint session to elect a United States
Senator. The nominee Of the Republican
caucus was Lyman Trumbull, the presen,
incumbent and the nominee of the Demo-
cratic caucus Hon. S. S Marshall, well
known throughout the Union as fearless
and talented statesman. The ballotlng
took place at , o'clock in the afternoon,
and stood 81 for Trumbull and 46 for Mar
shall. Trumbull was announced elected,
and the Republicans, after adjournment,
had grand Publication, fred cannons.
drank whiskey, and had a good time gen
orally.
Ga Thursday, Friday. and Saturday,
both Houses continued in session and nu-
merous petitions, resolutions and bills were
introduced, the most important Of which
was bill for amending the general bank
ing law.

The Governors message.

What the DemagOgues aim at.

! The alternative presented to Seward and
/ the other Black Republican leaders in re-
/ lation to the troubles which at present
/ agitate the country. is either the ruin of
the Black Republican party, or the downs
! fall of the American Republic. They saw
| that one or the other was inevitable, and
judging from Stewards late speech, they
have undoubtedly decided upon accepting
the latter. Had they backed down from
the Republican stand point, peace and good
feeling would have been restored, and the
people of the Northern States would settle
down in the conviction that Black Repub-
licanism was lie-that it was possible for
the States TO exist in prosperity and hapri-
ness, half slave and half free, and thei.
occupation as demaeogues would be gone
They consequently have determined upon
letting the Union slide.
Seward, as he is the father of Black
Republicanism, expects, perhaps, to be
President FOR life Of Northern Rel u5lic,
and eventually the crowned head Of
Monarchy. His Black Republican c,nfed-
crates have undoubtedly ambitious objects
Of similar nature in view. But let the
black hearted traitorous demagogues be-
ware. The vengeance of betrayed and
ruined people will overtake them sooner
than they imagine.
