Democratic and Conservative Ticket
The True Functions Of Govern
ment.

The fundamental principles of all gov>
ernments are not understood as they should
be. Indeed there are too many amongst
us who argue and act as though, in their
opinions, the peop lie were created for the
benefit Of government instead Of the gov
eminent being instituted FOR the benefit of
the people.
Governments are essential to the exist
ence of civil society and the pros perity,
happiness, and protection of the people, are
guarantees dependent upon the proper
exercise of the legitimate rights and pow
ers instituted by those upon whom devolves
the duty of making laws and governing
The first grand duty of government, then +,
is the protection of person and property from
domestic and foreign enemies; in other
words. to defend the weak against the
strong.
The veneratOd Andrew Jackson, speaking
on this subject, once said:
There are no necessary evils in gov>
ernmsDt. It's evils only exist in its abuses,
If it would confne itself to equal protect n
aud, as heaven dOes it's rains, shower its
favors alike on high and low, rich and poor,
it would be an unqualified blessing"
Andrew Jackson. as every one aceuain-
ted with American history knows, was
the incorporating opponent Of monopo-
lies; the stern, infezible champion of
equal rights. And the above passage from
enc Of his messages while ho was President
oftbe United States deserves to be written
in letters Of goli, for neither in truth or
beauty Of expression can it be surpassed
Fully aware Cfthe great truth, that monopo
lies, whether Of rank or privilege, whether
passed BY virtue Of hereditary descent or
conferred by legislative folly or corruption,
were the most Ely and dangerous enemies
to equal rights ever devised by the cunning
Of avarice or the wilds of ambition, he was
the firm friend of laws universal in their
character and was irreconcilable to that
system Oflegislation and government which
claims the right of intermeddlng with the
private pursuits and individual occupations
of the citizen.
The article in the new constitution
on the subject Of corporations, which We
give 10 another column, fully carries out
the great doctrine Of the immortal Jackson
If the people of Illinois will adopt the new
constitution, which contains the article al.
luded to, our legislatures heuceforth will
be confined to their proper spheres of &C
ton. and he restricted to the making Of
general laws, uniform and universal in
their operation, and will not be allowed tc
lsgislatc for the benefit of any particular
class Of industry, or any select bodies oil
men, or individuals.
The people of Illinois have been swim
died out of millions of dollars by corpora
tons and monopolies created by our legis-
latures. The new constitution proposes q
safeguard against the system of legislation
which has brought the evils upon us
Shall it be adopted and the people be LEFT

Industry, within the limits Of general laws !
Let every honest, intelligent man ask him.

LabOring NIen Read.

Section 10th of article 4th of the new
constitution reads:
The general assembly shall, at the first
session thereof after the adoption of this
constitution, and from time to time as oc-
casion may require, pass laws for securing
liens TO mechanics and other operatives. for
work and labor performed and materials
furnished"
The men who earn their living oy the
sweat of their brows, by the adoptiou Of
the constitution containing the above pro-
vision, would be protected against the ras-
calities of dishonest employers. How
many thousands Of laboriug msn have
been swindied out Of their hard earnings
under the present system. Let such men
attend the polls on election day and vote
for the new constitution.

BH~ At a late meeiingof the Democracy
OF Cincinnati, Mr. Pugh, late Senator from

tae Charleston convention, is reported to
have said:
The only way to establish peace was
by convincing the South that this war was
cot a raid of AbolitioOists, but the result
OF determination on our part to establish
the constitution on its old basis lie thought
the government would soon be again in the
hands of the Democracy aud then, aud not
TIL then' would the old flag, with lis thirty
tour stars, represent perfect Uniob."
The PEOPLE are beginning to understand
that the only AK of safety for the country
Is the constitution. Abolitionism is Just as
hostile to the constitution as secesslonism,
and when it is demonstrated that neither
OF these extremes will be allowed to carry
out their designs, and the rights of all will
be protected under the constitution, then
We shall have peace.

Meeting on Thursday Night
speech of Hon. j. Wentworth.

There was an immense gathering of PEG
pie at the Court House, en- Thursday night,
to listen to the speech Of the Hon. John
Wentworth in favor of The adoption of the
new constitution. The court Room was
crowded to Its utmost capacity, and hun
dreds, who could not gam admittance, were
compelled to return to their homes. Itwas
indeed rOusing meeting and was attended
by citizens from all part. of the county.
Mr.. Wentworth took the stand and spoke
for two hours aud half, and was listened
to with marked attention. lie discussed
the various propositions contained in the
constitution, and 10 most powerful man
ner presented it's advantages to the audi
ence. 1t has been many years since Mr..
Wentworth addressed the people Of this
city, but We cannot see that he is different
from what he was when he used to carry
Will county like whirlwind.
We defy any man who heard the speech
Of Mr.. Wentworth, to refute the argu-
ments presented by the honorable gentle
man. lie examined article after article,
and challenged denial as to their soundness
and justice. lie showed that the ohjec-
tions to it were without foundation in fact,
and that they were principally urged by
Wild Cat and Stump-tail bankers, and by
| persons who derive their sustenance from
the public treasury.
Though a Republican of the true STAMP,
he held up the iniquities of the public OFF,
Gals of his party in light not very COM
plimentary to their honesty and integrity.
lie handled our officials, from Governor
down, without gloves, and exposed their
corruptions and rasealities in their true
light.
We will venture to say that there was
not single person in the vast assembly,
who was not startled at the exposure of the
! frauds under the present constitution. Ac-
cordiug to the evidence presented, system
of the most stupendous robbery has been
carried on since the Inauguration Of the
present State administration. Mr.. Went
worth urged the adoption Of the new con-
tuition as the most efectual means of put
ting a stop to the populations that have been
carried on for the last few years.
The speech of Mr.. Wentworth will be
tho means of openirg the eyes of many,
as to the designs Of the present State Off
GERS. lie showed from official reports that
the State had been plundered out of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars for the want

tied in the new constitution, we're irresis-

Republican Honesty.

BY reference to the table Of milea ge
charged by different members of Congress,
it viii be found that some of the Republican
Congressman live an immense distance
from the national capital. For instance,
Washburn of the Galena district, in this
State, charged for 1900 miles. amounting
to the snug little sum of $500. And the
honest Owen Lovejoy, our own Congress
man, charged for $40 miles In contrast
with these immcderats charges, We will
state that John A. Logan, Democrat, of
the 9th district, charged for 96I miles.
We might continue the liss, but this will
suffice for the present,
1t is not necessary to inform our readers
that Mr.. Logan had to travel as MANY
miles to get to Washington as either Of
his Republican colleagues mentioned above.
The truth is,these Republican officials are
expert at extracting money from the tax
payers; and what they cannot extract by
other means they make up by charging
extra mileage.
