The reporter sent here by the Cincinnati
Ga=ete to report the proceedings Of the Canal
Convention thus describes the suppression Of
the jeff. Davis organ and the after scenes that
occurred:
In addition to the Convention, the people
Of Chicago have been blamed with the excite
ment Of the suppression and re.isaufng of i
dis1oyal PAPER. As soon as the order for
stopping the publication Of the Times was .rs-
celYed from Gen. Burnside, there was a caIl
Tor meeting Of all the sympathizers with
treason, to decide what was best to be done.
From eight to ten Thousand people assembled
in font Of the Court House, and listened to
speakers holding views in accordance with
tluec Of the Times. a Large portion Of tue
audience were anxious to attack the Offices Of
the TRIBUNE and Journal, and were only re-
strained BY the speakers counseliug good or
der and discipline. III nseverM instances, some
eition to "go and clean out the TRIBUNE - but
they we're promptly taken In hand By tic po-
lice. The TRIBUNE office was prepared for
what might happen, and had the mob gone
there it would have met warm reception.
1le rebel sympatltzers are TO this day igno-
rant Of the preparations for their comfort,
and they never will know until they attempt
The revocation Of Gen. Burnsidc's order by
the President took every loyal man by sur
prise. 1t Lad been matter Of astonishment
that the 7imes6honld have been SO long permit
ted to go On in the utterance of treason. The
friends Of the Government began to breathe
easier when they found that it had been stop
ped. It turns ont that the revocation was
procured through the Intervention of several
weak knced Union men who feared that
trouble might cnsue. These men have
by thiscourse lost many Of their warm friends.
Had it not been for their action the Times
t.nr af3 oil }+o
open treason heard no more Even the 7ines
slitsupon them and does not even give thanks
for tht; service rendered.
The teachings of the Times and those Of its
stripe are showing their effects all oYer ILL.,
nuis aud Southern Wisconsin Opposition to
the conscrjption is everywhere talked Of, and
in some places preparations are being made
with but little attempt ut concealment. Oue
Of the suburbs Of Chicago, known by the
name Of Bridgeport, Is inhabited almost ex-
c1usive1y By low 1rishmen, who camc out In
strong force at the 1i,nes' indignation meet-
would not be safe for the enrolling officers 10
come among them. They declare tina: they
will fight to the last before one of their num-
her shall be taken to the army against his will,
The Times keeps this spirit fanned almost to
fame, and its disciples are ready to break ont
ut any moment into open hostility.
IL Southern Wisconsin there is much talk
Of ofresistance to the draft. In Milwaukee there
was SO much opposition manifested, that the
Office Of the District Provost Marshal Was re-
moved to Racine, through fears for its safety
Tilt remained in the former place No enroll
ment is going on at Milwaukee, as no man
can be found who Is willing to accept the Of.
fee Of Local Provost Marshal. This state Of
afiairs is due directly to the teachings of the
Copperhead politicians and the papers that
follow in their wake. If the latter we're stop
ped, the former would lose much of their in-
fuence. The Eber'y OF the press and the
right OF free speech are well enoug h as long
as they do not strike directly mt the very life
Of the Government. When this occurs, 1t
would seem as if the strong arm Of the mill
tary Law shQUll interfere,
