The Ie9isIature.

Pursuant TO the resolution of adjourn
ment passed by that body in February last,
the Illinois Legislature re-assembled again
Oh last Tuesday.
There was some difficulty to obtain a
quorum for day or two, but that is obvi~
ated DOW and both branches have gone to
work in good earnest.
at the time Of the adjournment in Feb.
ruary, large amount of business of great
importance was left un6nish. Besides
vast amount of general and local business
requiring legislative consideration and &C.
ton Of cur law makers, there is the habeaS
corpus bill, the bill to prevent the immi-
grafton Of negroes, and the resolutions re-
ported by the Joint Committee on Federal
Relations, which we earnestly rope will be
passed before the final a6journm mt takes
place. The people of the State expect &C.
tion upon these important measures by
the Legislature, and will not be satisfied if
they are postponed or allowed to fail for
want Of unity on the part of cur friends.
There is another proposition which
should be brought before the Legislature
at once. Let an act be passed authorizing
counties, towns, end cities, to levy a tax to
raise funds to exempt poor men who can
not raise the required $500, from the CON-
ing draft. 1t is only by such policy that
the equality Of citizenship guaranteed by
the constitution can Re attained.

To Our nafr0ns

With this rumber of the SIGNAL, closes
seventeen years Of our la5ors as its editors
and publishers.
And during all those seventeen years,we
have endeavored to furnish our patrons
with The current news of the day, enters
taiument, and what we deemed correct
views Of political subjects. As to whether
we have been successful or not, our readers
are, without doubt, best calculated to
judge.
We believe there is no other newspaper
establishment in the State that has been so
long without changing hands as the SIGNAL.
The Illinois State Register comes next on
the list, and the Ottawa Free Trader the
next. Hence the proprietors of the SIGNAL
feel warranted in claiming little prece-
dence on this score.
But, to tell the truth, we must say that
our professed friends and patrons, in too
many instances, have been remiss. There
are many names on our subscription book,
who have not raid US cent during the
long time we have had charge ofthe paper.
Others there are, and not few of them
either, who owe US for from three up to
ten or dozen years.
A d there are others Of cur pretended
patrons men whom we have supported and
been instrumental in policy in official posi-
tons Of honor, trust ard profit, who never
paid US for the ink and paper we used in
! their behalf Indeed, we have had some
mighty mean men of this class to deal with
since we commenced the publishing busi-
ness Time and again have SIC supported
men for oifice, printed tickets and worked
/ for them generally, but after they we're
elected they seemed to forget our services
And some poor stingy souls have employed
US to print their tickets for elections, but
never paid US single cent.
Atsome future period we propose to give
/ a history of our experience in this respect
| But while we have had some ungrRteful
| and dishon0rabIe men to deal with, we have
been made glad by the favors and kindness
of numerous friends. And we shall ever
greatfuIIy remember their kind favors and
generous actiyus.
In conclusion, we would say to those Of
our patrons who are 50 considerably in ar
rears, that we were never more in need of
money than at the present time. Our cur
rent expenses have been more than doubled
! by the war, aht unless our patrons wish to
play Gen. Burnside on US, they must let Us
have some mOney-and that pretty soon,

WHEREAS, information has reached this

day of June INST, by Maj. Gen: Burnside,
commander OF this department., for the
suppression of the Chicago Times. public
newspaper, published in this state; and,
WHEREAS, Such an order is in direct
violation of the constitution of the United
States and Of this state, and destructive of
those God-given principles whose existence
and recognition, of centuries before writ
ten constitutions were, have made them as
much part Of our rights as the air we
breathe or the life which sustain us:
BE ii therefore, by the House of Represen-
tdtices, (fhe Senate concurriRg therein), That
we denOuEce the order which threatens an
act so revolutionary and despotic, as con-
tTary to liberty, destructive of good govern.
ment, subversige Of constitutional and
natural rights; and that, il carried into
effect, we consider il equivalent to the
overthrow Of our form of government and
the establishments Of military despotism in
its stead.
And be IL further Resolred, That in
view of. and deploring the monstrous con.
sequences which must inevitably flow from
such action, If justified and adbeared to
BY the general government, we respectfnl-
~, yet firmly, demand the withdrawal Of
the order in question, and disaFoWal
thereof by those in power, as the only
