TIE convention Of the Democracy OF
Illissis wass grand affair and p'om'nsa'
among the many good things done ~
the generous act d its members IN con-
tribu,iog to the necessities Of the sol
die,s Of thst State vho have been brave
" doing bsstle Tor tho Union. A few
days before Gov. Yates prorogued the
Legislature, thus cutting off conte"
plated appropriation Of 100000 for toe
benefit Of these brave men, bnt the de-
moe, scy wrre not to be put of 10 then
efforts 10 do good in that way, conse
queutly At their State convention they
raised the magnificent sum Of about tfts
thousand do.lars out Of their own Pr'-
vste means. The sick and wounded sol
diers Of Illinois csn now see who the'
trisnds are AID how much they are read

sun Of fifty Thousand dollars to be ra''-
ed to make up the smount OF the con-

Words Of s.mpsihy cost nothing and
they have plenty OF them, but true gym

SEvxRE RxBeKs.-It was Q merited
and very severe rebuke that the aboi,
ton fanatics OF Scott county received IN
the State Convention Ut Des MONIES. IL
their little county convention they GOT
up Q series Of resolutions, wherein they
gave vent " their ebnexious sentiments.
They endorsed 10 the strongest terms
the action OF Gen. Burnside 10 the o.
tempted suppression efdsmocrstic ne"s
papers. They placed themselves in :
position Of direct sutsgon'sm TO the
Pres,dent, and ordered their resolutions
to be placed in the hands Of the com
mittee on resolutions, At the then com
ing State Convention. But mark the
result. These political bycnas wen. out
to Des Moines aud submitted their reso
lutions. The resolutions were kicked
out, As they should have been, and those
who presented them ought to have
been kicked out after them. After sub
hitting TO this rsbuke, whst next

Burnside, which WAS applauded in thu

their own dirty words, and o~nsd thu

Such was the action, and such IN
rebuke administered to the polite,
Dovent,tics Of Scott county, who s.
themselves or~ard to dictate to q thor
onghly frightened convention. No wor
