UNION ORGANIZATION WANTED.
In the present grave crisis Of public
affairs, when the Union cause is sorely be-
set By enemies without and Copperheads
within its lines, it behoores all good loyal
men 10 organize and act together: A
Union Club or League ought to be formed
IN every town ii the State, and placed in
communication with State Central Club
or Committee of Public Safety. The Re-
public has sore perils and trials yet to pass
through. The Coppcrheads are resolved
to force peace with the rebels and a dis
,nemberment Of the. Union, for on no other
terms will the rebels listen to peace, unless
they are driven from the field. The efforts
Of the Copps1heads to make peace over the
ruins Of the great Republic, may cause
civil var in our midst, 4 part Of their
scheme is to attach nlinoisto the Southern,
Confederacy; which, if persisted in, will
surely lead to blows and bloodshcd in our
State. We are not alarnists, but ordinary
prudence and care point ont the necessity
for better and closer organization Of the
Union men The Copperheads have in
their hands the order Of the Knights Of the
Golden Circle, by which they can plot and
work in the dark, tolerably safe from de-
lection and exposure, whils1he Union men
have no efficient organization with which,
they can couuteract the evil dope by the
"Knights." We hare been told that
Union organizations exists n..Missouri and
Kentucky, having their heads in St. Louis
and Louisville, the members Of which have
taken a solemn pledge to stand By the
Union and the Constitution to the end OF
the chapter. The members meet in their
club rooms, with closed doors, excluding
all disloyal persons GoA participating IN
their proceedings; but beyond this, no
secresy is cnjoined. The purposes
Of the organization are represented to be
purely loyal and patriotic and any good
Tnion citizen may become member. It
is said that those clubs have done great
oood in both States in counteracting and
defeating the Vaccinations ofthe "Kuights'
and other secessionists. ..
Why might not a similar organization
be made immensely useful in 1llinois.and
other Western States? We have been told
that some Union clubs were formed in this
State last tall, known as Union Leagues" !"
but were not spread to any grest extent
the members thinking there was no lining
diate danger Of civil war in Illinois. But
the events Of the last month or two
have furnished grounds for a change o1
opinion. The rampant and threatening
conduct Of the Copperheads certainly af
fords room for grave apprehensions ofdan'
ger to the public peace In our State. Il
may not BE proper for us to chalk out Of
or advise the particular form that should bt
adopted in organizing Union clubs; bu
We do urge the necessity that exists fol
some efficient system Of organization BY
which loyal citizens can cooperate to pre-
serve our free institutions and to preycn
the old flag from being dishonorably strucl

mH. THURLOW WEED AND THE

simultaneously with Mr. Thurlow
Weeds abandonment Of the Republican
marty as announced in the Albany Jour
nnz we learn that he has received one hun
d1ed and ninety thousand dollars $780,
oo0) in gold coin from the United States
Minister to Japan, Robert 81. Pruyn, late
of Albany, N. ~ which sum was en-
trusted to Mr. Pruyn By the Japanese Gov
ment for the construction Of two war
steamers, to be built in the United States.
In placing this money in Mr.. Pruyn's
hands, the japanese Ministry observed
that they had seen the war vessels Of all
maritime nations in their waters-English,
French, Dutch, Russian and American
and as they were now likely to have mari
time interests Of their own, they desired
to have two steamers constructed, as the
beginning Of q navy, by those builders
who had fashioned the finest craft that
had ploHed their harbors. They had no
hesitation in saying that the American.
steamers were superior 10 those Of any
other nation, and would BIZ. Pruyn be so
kind US to take charge Of $4,000 for the
purpose Of building couple for them?
Nj. Pruyn would be only too happy
Accordingly he receives the gold and con-
signs it to Mr.. Thurlow-We iced, Of Albany,
n. Y, mistaking him, doubtless, for the
Secretary Of the United States Navy. At
ter sufficient lapse of time, 5lr. Secretary
Seward applies by letter to Mr.. Secretary
Welles for information whether the Coy
erument navy yards will undertake to
build couple Of steamers for the Tycoon.
| The uovelty Of the proposition makes it
necessary for him to narrate the circum-
stances. Mr. Wcllcs replies that the Gov
ernment yards arc all SO busy just now in
aiding to put down violent rebellion that
they cannot g9tifJ the Tycoon. He sug-
gests, therefore, that the money be re.
turned at once to the japanese Govern.
uept, or at all events that our Government
be divested Of the responsibility Of it as
sumed by Minister Pruyn. A1r. Seward
rejoins, with considerable asperity, that hi
does not want any advice as to the d;spo
sition Of $190, ,O00-that all he wants It
know is whether the Government yard
will build the steamers. Having got tn
particular information desired, he vii
t manage this domestic affair in his ow
z way, subject only to the Constitution {
the United States.
t So the matter stands. Mr.. Weed hs

estimation Of Japan, or ut least has su

Personally, Mr.. salisbury is not worth
which most Of the representatives reside in
the dominious Of JEFF. Davis A few whose
hearts arc in Richmond, still haunt the CapI-

public suspicion ns to have been reported
under arrest several times, and 1t is said that
teleg1ama were found, months ngof. in the
office nearest his residence, which imricate
spircy. Under the apprehension that 4 secret
agent Of the Government was following him,
he drew a sword cane npon him in the White
Houtc grounds 4 few weeks since.
The only share which Mr.. salisbury takes
in the business Of the Senate, is to introduce
resolutions condcmning, either directly, OF
by the indircction Of inquiry, the Government
for arrcsting dis1oyal citizens Of Delaware
10 make speeches accusing the President o1
