nile Temperance Society, under the APP
pellation of " Band of Hope,n aud as
sure you, Mr. Editor, was never more
gratifed, The object is indeed praise
worthy and should be encouraged by
every true philanthrophist; for to train
the infant mind in the two great princi-
pies Of temperance and morality, is in
deed laudable undertaking, and from
what | seen and heard from the Leader,
religion is not left in the back ground,
and with these three great and ennobling
principles in view and the zeal manifest

Letter from the State Capitol.

DOVER June ID, 1865.
Henry EcKEL, ESQ.
Our little town has again as
sumed its wonted quiet The members
of the Legislature have all returned to
their homes, and the usual hustle and
confusion incident to the meeting of the
General Assembly is no longer manifest.
The hotels look deserted, and dull
monotony seems to pervade all classes
Under such circumstances there cannot
help but be dearth ofnews there were,
however, a number of incidents which
took place on the day of the great Union
demonstration in this place, which may
not prove uninteresting to your readers,
and l therefore give them in full
During the progress of the meeting.
Eli Crozier and number of others, be-
longing to the combination of ''We the
People, took possession of the Hall of
the House of Representatives After
selecting Mr. Crozier as their Chairman,
and another gentleman as Secretary, they
passed series of resolutions condemn
atory of the Legislature for its dereliction
in not passing the act known as the
Poor Mans Bed BILL They then as
sumed the power of Legislators, the bill
was read with all the ceremony that
usually attends the passage of a law by
our Solons, and in the style of the ancient
Romans, in the days when Rome was u
popular democracy, it was passed by a
unanimous vote,
An amusing incident occurred in one
of the principal streets of this town.
shortly after the arrival of the train bring
ing the delegates to the Mass Convention.
Two prominent Copperheads met when
one of them accosted the other with tho
interrogatory.

Senator Trumbull On pisloyal speeoh


Senator Trumbull on Disloyal Speech.
AT the recent Union Mass Meeting in
Chicago, Judge Trumbul said
He did not desire to influence the pas
sions Of the audience. He wishes to ap-
peal to reason and ask the people to think
soborly and earnestly upon the great
question that agtated the country. Ha
would not heap adjeetives ofabuse against
the enemy or call men copperheads or
wild beasts, as such proceeding would not
conquer the rebellion or put down the
traitors. He desires the people to swear
before Heaven that they would never
cease in their devotion to the Union, aud
never falter in their determination to put
down the rebellion.
The Constitution protects us all in time
of war as well as peace. The Constitu-
tion expressly gives the power to suppress
insurrection and put down rebellion.
There is no question but that General
has authority, but it is question how far
thatauthority extends. There is no war in
Illinois. Have not the people and the
papers in this city a right to discuss and
criticise the measures of this war 1t is
right which you cllim-every one of
you.-There is not man of you but has
discussed and criticised the acts OF the
Administration. There is not a man who
has not blamed this Government for GER
tain acts, and if you deny newspapers the
right to express their opinions, then you
are subjects of military authority. There
is civil law in operation here. A news,
IN NOR hoe haan eupnpacead in vnur rfty
and it is claimed that that paper has at
tempted to discourage our soldiers,
opposed the acts Of the Administration,
and encouraged resistance to the draft.
Now, if that paper is guilty of such acts,
its editors could be arrested and thrown
into prison.-The law should be enforced.
Here he read from the statute sec
tion fixing the manner of proceeding and
penalty against all who should oppose the
Government or sympathize with the enc
my in time of war.
There is a remedy provided by statute
for those who abuse the right of free
speech And instead of suppressing
newspapers that sympathize with the ene-
my, let the paper 90 and take hold of the
man who publishes it. Arrest him and
take him before Judge Drummond to-
morrow let him sue out writ of hdbedS
corpus, and my life upon it the president
will order the proceeding discharged and
hold the prisoner Is not this the best
way ~? Yes. Enforce it in this city to-
morrow Because the President has re-
voBed the order to Gen. Burnside it does
not follow that the man which publishes
the paper which is annoying the Govern
ment is discharged from civil proceedings.
If he is guilty he can be arrested tonight
and imprisoned. Do you not think that
civil law is the best after all ?
