seven stacks of hay and about six hun

field. Illinois.


SPRINGFIELD, Sept. 3-The attendance
at the great Union demonstration here
to-day is fully as large as anticipated.
Resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed that this unholy rebellion commenced
without Unsuitable cause: that it has
been maintained against every principle
OF humanity and justice, and that it is
the duty of the Government to suppress
it by using every constitutional means in
its power; that we leave out party ques-
tons and prejudices, and devote our
selves unreservedly to support the Gov
eminent until the rebellion finally is
forever hushed; that to the end the
Union shall live and the Government
survive in all constitutional integrity.
that the nation be preserved in territorial
unity, we pledge our lives, fortunes and sa-
cred honor; that the strength of our Gov
eminent consists in the respect oft peo-
pie for laws and constituted authorities,
and whoever opposes the execution of
the laws, whether by open rebellion or
by secret combinations, or teaches others
TO do so, is an enemy of Republican lib
erty; that the course of that portion of
The Democratic party who have not for
gotten the dying inlunctions of Stephen
a. Douglas. and who have nobly rallied
to the countries standard in this hour of
trouble, meets our hearty and patriotic
admiration; that in view of the extraor-
binary difficulties and embarrassments
which have environed the National and
State affairs, during the present afro
cious rebellion, the efforts ofthe constitu-
ted authorities of the National and State
Governments commend themselves to
our highest respect for zeal, ability and
fidelity with which they have been
marked.
Speeches were made by Gov. Yates,
Senators Doohttle, Trimble, Generals
McClernand, Oglesby, Lane Of indiana,
and other distinguished gentlemen.
