VINO FIcHrs.--It il eatimated that not less
than three.fourths Of the volunteers for the
present war are Democrats. That estimate
may be too high, but it 10 evident that
large majority Of the soldiers who have ia.

ment arc those who voted the Democratic
tick et in the last campaign. This is not 20
be wondered at in the least. The Demacra-
cy always had to do the work, and ii the
Union IL to be saved at all, it will be through
the efforts OF the lion hearted Democracy
Of the anti-secession States DaveDport

II that be true, the masses are actuated
BY very different spirit from that which
controls the small potato leaders Of the par
ty who figure 10 the Iowa Legislature and
elsewhere. The entire batch of Locofoco

a loan Of 100000 and the levy Of tax to
pay interest on the same. for furnishing arms
and making provision for the VOLUNTEERED
The masses OF the Democracy are patriotic,

patriotism, and seek instead to barter the
patriotism Of the masses off for the -othoss

The Militia Bill Of Missouri provides that
oil the people capable of bearing arms shall
take an oath to support the Constitution of
the State and obey the Governor. There is
not an alluson to the Constitution OF the
United States Bef to the Union; there 10 no
flag but that OF Missouri, and no recognition
Whatever OF the supremacy Of the Constitu.
ton and laws Of the United States. The
policy Of the Militia law OF Missouri regards
the State as completely independent and ig-
nores it's relations to the States Of the Union
and the Federal Government as il it we're
another Algers or Dahomey.
Claib Jackson il = secessionist, and has
been = chief leader and counsellor in the
traitorous programme Of Secessiondom for
near score of years. lie was denounced
oil over the State dosen years ago by Col.
Benton as vilainous dirty dog and an in.
famous traitor; and his conduct ever since
has verified Benton's estimate Of bis charac.
ter and verified his denunciations Of his pur.
poses.
He was foiled 10 bis attempts TO seize the
st. Louis Arsenal and give Missouri over into
the secession ranks, but be has not aban
doned bic ultimate and long cherished pur-
peses, abd be will yet embrace The ffst feasi.
BILE opportunity to carry them out.
There is no prohibition 10 the Constitution
OF Missouri against his making war upon IL.
linois, Iowa, Kansas, or any other State oil
the Union, and the peculiar character OF th.
oath to be administered to the citzens oil
Missouri amounts simply to implicit obedi
snce to Claib Jackson. And If the people o.
Missouri follow his lead, they will be a, va,
with their neighbors and the United States
in less than ak months.

WI sSouri Exsles.

The Lagrange American contra1icts the
report that Union men have been driven on.
Of Macon, Mo-, and asserts that they ran
away to get rid Of paying their debts.
We have number Of apparently respect
able citizens from Macon now residing in our
town, who represent that they left Macon to
escape threatened outrages, and that more
than so families devoted to the Union left
that place for tho came reason.
There is to be a meeting Ut Canton on
Wednesday, at which representatives, from
several towns, including our own, are invited
to be present.
We understand that one object Of that
m Getting is to brand as liars, knsves and
vAgabonds all the Union men who lave 6ed
from Missouri.
The LaGrange American says:
Measures ought to be taken by the Com
ms. toner's on this side OF the river to assure
and convince our Illinois and Iowa brethren
OF the utter falsity OF the report in circula
ton OF Union men being driven from Mis-
souri,.
sentatives in attendance from this place, the,
will not brand the Union men who hav
come here from Missouri as "viilains" with
out sufficient evidence Of the fact. And
moreover, We trust that our delegation vi
not consent to any arrangements With any
body, or the representatives Of any city
which does not include an ample admissio
Of the supreme authority OF the Constitutio
and laws Of the United States, any Sta,
Constitution or law to the contrary notwitt
standing. Let Us have DO league wi.
traitors.

Cor. Ellsworth.

Col. E. E. Ellsworth, whose life has just been ter
minated in so outrageous manner by secesslonst,
was native of Mechanicsvie, Saratoga county, N.
y AT the time OF his death he was about rs years
of age. He settled in Chicago in 1855, and organ
lied his famous Zouave Cadets in 1859; among the
ardent admirers of his original system of training
were many old U. s. Army officers Strict temper
unce was one of bis rules with this corps. He was
the author Of treatise called manual OF Arms
From his bold decided character, untring energy
and surprising skill as drill officer, there is nc
doubt could his life have been spared he would have
become one of the most distinguished Of our noble
band of Volunteer officers. His name will stand 10
the history Of this Rebellion like Warren's in that
of the Revolution.
