this Anonymous scribbler that We will hear
Of trouble in Illinois if this thing keeps
on : (the brown domestic" Of course-) As

/ in the commencement Of the letter, the rebel
sympathizers Of Illinois and California, = are .
ruined people, one and ALL when compelled to
pay fifteen cents a yard for their regular
brown domestic" Politicians of the Gel
wick school, are, we take it. the reiGse-the
scum-thrown of by Southern society, and q
foul living libel, upon the honorable and chiv-
alric character of the Southron- Never hav-
ing a pecuniary interest in the South, they
have, nevertheless, been enabled heretofore to
obtain their brown domestic for less than
fifteen cents a yard None but aboitionists
would tolerate policy that would make
" brown domestic cost this ornamental if not
useful class of politicians. fifteen cents 2 yard .
To prevent this, the Constitution must be ig-
nored, the Union severed as with cinle;er,
and Southern Confederacy established
What is constitutional liberty Worth to politi-
cal renegades from the South, if their brown

GeIwicks and Liuthicum, you are immortal.
1t is true, as stated in the third paragraph
of the letter, that the followers of Fremont,
Sumner and Hale, did denounce the Democra-
cy of Illinois as secessionists and traitors"
/ because the former desired to see the policy Of
Fremout's proclamation sustained wherever the
army may 30. That was the Issue before the
people Whether the war should be conduct

for abolition purposes. To enable the Democ-
racy TO carry that State by 10000 majority,
as they did, there had to be union Of consti-
tutional and conservative men, against the fol-

equally Democratic at the last election, but for
the senseless howlings of idiotic rebel sympa-
thizers, for "peace, peace" when "peace
meant destruction of the Constitution and
severance of the Union.
1t is not true that the Democracy of Illinois
passed resolutions coa9emning the lrar," as
stated and italicsed in the letter If Montgom-
cry county did SO. it was an exception. They
did condemn the 1--WE quote) "prosocution Of

declared that a. the crazy fools Lovejoy and

that the design the crazy fools who were
