KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CInCLE.-Thr
Illinois Constitutional Convention has or
dcred committee Of investigation into
the Republican charges that its members
are largely composed of Knights Of the
Golden Circle. The Democrats very
generously and confidently gave the Re
pub'cans the majority Of the committee.
Long John Wentworth let the Cat out Of
the bag, however he intmated that the
allegations originated in conspiracy to
defeat the Constitution, because the Con-
ventiOn would not frame it 50 as to keep
in Office certain persons. Prentice, OF the
Louisville Journal, started the humbug
with regard to the Knights OF the God, n
Circle, and when detected, tried to throw
the responsibility upon John Smith
Grand Jurics in Ohio and Indiana inveS
tigatei the matter, and their reports prove
Prentice u falSi;ier Of the first water. Not
a particle Of evidence could they find Of
the existence Of such an organization. -
So much for the veracity Of the editor Of
the Journdk.

A MARKED DIEFEKENCE.--JeffersOn says

remember it, that 1.-THE creed of our pO-
litical faith should be Freedom of Religion,
Freedom Of the Press, and Freedom of
Person, under the protection Of the babe.
as corpus, and trial by juries inpartially
selected" This was JefersOn's political
creed, it is ours, and every true Democrat
heartily subscribes to it. There is a
marked difference between Jetferson's pc.
litical creed and the political creed Of
nominal Democrats. The creed of the
latter is, suppression of the Press, arrest
Of Persons without warrant, and impris-
Cnment without trial. They are known
by the company they keep, and may al.
ways be found whispering counsel in the
ears Of Republicans. Democrats, beware
Of these "wolves in sleeps clothing"

EXPIRED. first ninety days Of the
session Of the Legislature the members
are entitled to a per diem of $40. The
time expired last Tuesday, and az We'd
nesday morning they commenced on the
five dollars a day system. The session
promises to be protracted and more ex-
travagant thaa protraeted. A number Of
bills, some of them of great Importance
and involving vast interests, have not
yet been acted upon. 1t will take them
some time to dispose Of the impeachment
case, and it is doubtful il they will ad-
journ before the first of May. What care
they for expenses, SO long as the tAx-Pay
ers foot the bill? Republican spouters
assured the people that the session would
be short, useful and economical. Itprom-
Uses to be long, useless and extravagant.
So much for Republican assurances.

IT is BETTER. 1t is better to prevent
than to punish-wiser to appease than to
provoke; the surest way to prevent sedi-
tons is to take away the matter of them,
for If there BE- fuel prepared, it is hard to
tell whence the spark shall come that shall
set it on fire. If poverty and broken es-
tate in the better sort be Joined with a
want and necessity in the mean people,
the danger is imminent and great, for the
rebellions of the belly are the worst.

LET THE PEOPLE Know IA number
Of sterling Democratic newspapers, be-
cause of their hostility to the Abolition
lists and their refusal to approve of the
villainy of Cameron, Wclles & Co., have
been denied the use Of the United States
mail, the common property Of the UkOte
people, by the Republican Administration.
INSCRIPTIONS Abolition organs, which
have always prayed and worked for a
dissolution of the Union, which have al
ways opposed the Democratic party, are
protected, encouraged and supported by
the Administration. Remember these
facts, Democrats of California.

APPoINrxENr.-Hon. E. Stanly, rank
Republican, has been appointed by the
President Military Governor of North Car
oliDa. His appointment will, Of course,
be gratifying to the loyal Southern men
of that State, who regard him as Repub-
lican incendiary. Such an appointment
at the present time, is peculiarly inappro-
pirate, and looks like determination, on
the part Of the Administration, to drive
loyal Southern men to the wall.

A SAD PIcTURE.-The number of the
dead from casualties and other causes at
Fort Donelson, is being continually in
creased by the death of the wounded.
The loss Of life on both sides must have
been terrible, aud why the number has
been suppressed is mystery. The Chi
cagO Tribune, of 3 late date, says that
"every arrival from the scene Of action
increases the mortality lists, and every
day scores Of brave and loyal men fall off
iLto death, by the labors and wounds of
that hard fought field. Sorrow is carried
into every nook and corner Of our great
State"

A writer 10 the Hartford Coarasf. without re-
gard to the strict rule which ought to regulate
the use of private conversations relates the sub
stance of an interyiew which he had with Mrs
McCLELLAs, the young and accomplished wife
of the General, on a railroad car near Hartford,
and details her conversation. The following
striking remarks, thus elected without the idea
that they would become public. are worthy of
special notice. They Indicate the faith OF the
General in the God who has in his hands all ar
mics, as we'll as his devoted spirit of self sacri.
fee The writer says:
remarked 20 her that at first felt great CON
fidence in her husband. which afterwards had
70 a certain extent, lost; but that had. previous
% his last success regained it She said the same
observation had teen made by others. ! told her
| thought the General had not done justice to
himself. in not explaining To the public crcum-
stances which looked uniav0rable TO him. do
you not think !" SAID she THAT il was more patri.
otto in him TO bear his wrongs in silence, rather
than to trouble the Government as some others
have done with demands for Investigations aud

would be injurious TO the country The Gen
eral !" she remarke ell. when the clouds covering
him we're of the darkest hue had faith that God
would vet make him instrument of good to the
cause of his country.
/ should hold myself inexcusable for making
public this private conversation, especially in
the case of lady, were it not that General
Mcclellan belongs 10 the nation more than to
her.
