4 plot is on foot 10 carry tho ieW coustit,1-
ton in defiance Of the will of th- people Of the
State. It has come to light that private
circular las been sent out by the Knights Of
the Golden Circle to all parts OF the State, dl-
rccted to partizan friends, invoking them to
vriic to Democrats in the a1E,r, requesting
the latter to vote for the constitution. The
circular entTeats those vino receive it
to go around among all the Dem
ocrats Of their acquaintance who have
friends and relatives in the service, and
urge thca to write to such friends, and to
u,akc a personal appeal to them to vote for
tie constitution and to use their influence
with their comrades to go for it. It is be-
iieved that bushels of such circulars haye been
dist -ibutcd oyerthc State. They were sent out
two or three weeks ago, and are signed by O
member OF the Democratic State Central Com
mittce, who resides in tlis city, The organi-
zat1on Of tile Il. &. C'E., which numbers over
1Q0 lodges in thestate, lis the1aain instrumental
ity employed to scatter the circulars and cauY
out the advice and instructions therein COZ
tanned. It behooyes the friends Of the old
constitution to be on the alert to counteract
ttascfIect Of this missiye. Let every citizen
| who has friend in the army write to him at
once, warning lin against the plot Of the Sc
| ccssionists. It is believed that the commis-
! sioners only intend to take the votes Of the
| soldiers Of such regiments as have been tam
pered with beforehand by the process herein
expressed, and that they will ignore Ill the
! regiments known to be hostile to the new
constitution.
The government las called on the Go7erno1
| Of Illinois for nine regiments Of volunteers,
. being one from each congressional district.
Tie governor will not contine the recruiting
for regiment to its Own district, but will
permit officers to obtain men wherever they
Can be procured.
-Four regiments from Northern Illinois viii
rendezvous at Chicugo, and the ot thtr tivt

field
The governor has already received large
number Of applications to raise companies
and he has no doubt but the State will surel,
furnish her quota.
The Government will doubtless make an
other call on Illinois, as her quota Of 500, ,00
men will he ST least twent y-elyht regii1,.nt3
No more cavalry will be received. Two re!!+i
mcIts Of cavalry, viz: Col. MarsEall'5 an,
Col. Mobiles, are to be mustered ont. It j
expccted that many OF the men will join in
tantry and artillery companies, and so con
tipue in the service until the end Of the waz
Illinois portion Of the direct tax of $50
0ee, ,o00 authorized By the act Of Congress {
| August, 1861, amounts to $50, 900, less ii
teen per cent. if collected by State officers.
: Gov. Yates managed, when in W.ssainsto
: lately, to have this tax deducted ou: of th
) claim Illinois had against the general goyer1
| mc1t for troops raised end equipped at til
! States expense, the money to defray whic
wa5 appropriated 1T the extra session la:

t | sessed F8on them the coming fall, and tt
necessity and expense for calling an extra SC

There will be no extra session.
