Secession sympa,.,isers.

Thd Wilmington Independent publishes
an article on this subject, which is approv-
ingly copied and endorsed by the True
Democrat, from which it might be inferred
that there are numerous sympathisers and
abetters OF the Southern rebellion here at
the North.
Now, our clever Wilmington friend is
simply mistaken in this matter and his
article is calculated to misrepresent facts
and mislead honest and unsuspeeting peo-
pie. We do not believe there is a sympa-
thiser of secession 10 the State OF Illinois.
Hence the injustice of the sueculations Of
our contemporaries.
But we will not deny that there are dis
layal men amongst US, whose evil irstruc-
tions and reckless agitations of the slavery
question: have resulted in the gradual W eak
| ening and final rupture of Federal ties and
hurled our once happy country into an APP
palling internecine conflict. These, how
ever, are found in the party that proclaim
| such ardent affection for the Union. but
whose works heretofore have not been in
accordance with thor present professions.
We have heard enough of this gaseonade
! about secession sympathisers" from the
Republicans. 1t is time they would turn
their attention to the iescuing of the coun-
try from the terrible condition in which it
has been placed by their party and princi-
pies. instead of slandering aud misrepre-
sentiug those who are in no way response

Terms of Omces.

The Judiciary Committee Of the constitu

extending tue term of county Sheriffs to four
years and fixing the tenure of office of
Judges and Clerks the same as at present
Now, instead of lengthening the term Of
the Office of Sheriff. We would prefer to see
it remain as it Is Two years is long enough
for an county officer to hold his q flee. 1t
he is a fit man for the place, the people will
re-elsct him. Two years is long enough to
be cursed with al incompetent officer.
We go for short terms of office, and fees
