We learn that Judge Duff Judge Allen,
Congressman from the 9th district. and a
large numbs Of other prominent citizens
OF Illinois, whose arrests were announce
short time ago, are confined in a sickly
and dismal prison ct Washington, whittier
they were taken by the military authority
OF the United States; aud that, as yet, they
have not been informed of the nature of
the charges against them or permitted to
appeal to the courts for t:ial. Against
many OF these Ci1zens, perhaps all of them,
'hsre cannot be shown the slightest grounds
for the arrest. More loyal men never
breathed the air of Illinois than Judge
Allen and Judge Duff and yet they have
been torn from their homes and are shut
up in poisonous cell to die, if they be
not liberated soon.
The Governor ofour State owes il to the
majesty Of our constitution ard laws and
to the preservation of the rights of our
citizens, to prevent these unlawful arrests
and transportation abroad for imprisou-
ment in the future. If Illinoisans are thus
to be sacrificed at the will Of aspiring Abo-
litionisss or ignorant military officers, it is

ask the public authorities of Illinois to see
that the constitution and laws are properly
enforced on that subject. When the people

are hereby rendered, to the officers and men
Of all the Illinois volunteers. of every corps,

The state Convention.

We give, in another place in this pa
per, an abstract of the proceedings of the
Democratic State convention, 20 which we
would invite the attention of our read
ers.
The convention was we'll attended, and
embraced some of the ablest and most
prominent Democrats in the State. In.
deed delibcrative body of more talent,
character and worth, never before assem-
bled in Illinois. 1t was composed of the
very best material, and performed its duty
manfully and faithfully.
We have already alluded to the uomiua-
tons; and therefore shall not refer to them
here.
The platform adopted calls for more than
passing notice. 1t was prepared by a
committee composed of our most eminent
men. Hon. Wm. A. Richardson, the
ablest man in the present Congress, was
chairman of the committee, and reported
the platform to the convention.
When we say that we cordially endorse
every line and sentence Of the platform of
the Hi lois Democracy, we speak the hon
est sentiments OF our hearts. On the war.
on the mode and manner Of preserving the
Union and constitution, on the resent ar.
rests of citizens Of our State by the mill
tary authorities, and on government and
State policy, the convention advanced the
true doctrine. There is net a resolution
in the whole platform that can be success
fully refuted. The Abolitionists have
raised the cry of treason against Thorn, but
we opine they will find this an up hill
business. If the people will only careful-
ly read and candicly consider the senti-
ments and principles advanced by our
platform for the approaching political can
pagn, they will at once see the grOundless-
ness Of the charges urged against it.
Most molly did the convention meet the
issues Of the day. There wa7 no waverirg
or finching, but the delegates came up to
the work became true patriots. They
were not iDtimidated by cowardly threats
or arbitrary arrests, but met together as
American citizens an euunciated their
views, and took such action as the exigeu-
cies of the circumstances required.
We are proud of the position of the Hi
nois Democracy. Under their banner we
can 60 into the contest with an assurance
that We are battling for the right. And
we would invite all honest men, and those
who wish to see the Union restored and
the constitution respected, to Cooperate
with US in the election of the excellent
ticket presented.
