stantly finding fault with the war nov ements

ing the slow motions OF our own Governor
with the prompt activity and efficiency Of
Dick Yates. For the benefit OF all such We
make the following quotation Of facts from
the Chicago Journal Of July 18th:
I'VE speak elsewhere Of the failure Of the
proper authorities CT this State to procure
serv'ceable arms for our regiments. This il
not the only delinquency. In the matter OF
procuring uniforms the delay has been al.
most equally fagitious.
Regiments that we're accepted and mus
tered in weeks and even months ago, are still
wearing the same clothes they had on when
they enlisted. While other States have uni.
formed from 30 to SO regiments, ours has
not decently uniformed bali dozen.
a. an example: companies in Col. Tur-
chime regiment have been in camp at Cairo
Springfield and Chicago for nearly four
months, and yet we're ordered from here TO,
the wars on Friday night without their fut
uniforms or equipments
tan such gross and dsgraceful neglec,
be satisfactorily explained2 II 1t can be-
iet US have the explanation by all means. II
there tsa good reason Why our State militia

rs know what il is''
There 10 not, OF course, as much senseless
e.amor in Illinois as there is in Iowa on the
SUBJECT, but here are facts showing thar Hi.
nois 10 behind rather than in advance OF
Iowa 10 her war preparations. And 10 these
We may add the fn-shcr FACT. th.. nc !n:.c;s
war loan has not been negotiated nor has
tho State paid her troops to any considera-
bic extent.

The truth is, Union s impracticab!e withou.
a revolution either in the North or in the
South. Liberty must DO given up or Slavery
must be given up, in order TO have Union.
Ii 'the Union must and shall be prescrv ed -
and Liberty cannot be sacri hced, then Slave
ry must be sacrificed for the cake OF the
Union. There IL no alternative. Justice to the
slave 10 n necessity OF the Union. There is no
Union stronger than u rome of sand. there
is NJ end OF agitation, till Slavery is abol-
ished. We want every man to make up bis
mind to this, Let the Union be established
in justice. AZ Slavery has involved us in
this horrible war, 80 let every patriot labor
and pray that the war may lead to the over
throw Of the accursed system. Az the rebels
have attempted TO revolutionze the North,
so now let patriots sec what eau be done to-
wards revolutioniEing the South. This 10
the only desirable ultimate issue. No other
will compensate for the immense sacrifce of
treasure and life involved in the war. Let
every man, therefore, fix his mind upon this
issue and labor for it. The question of Union
ls the question OF JuFtice-the question OF
Slavery must fall--let it /
fall now. The opportunity is good. II
wants only resolution, courage, consistency,
Justice, aud the root OF our troubles may be |
and The biet upon eur character
