ACTION OF THE ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE.
SPRNGFIELD, ILL.,, June 3.-A preamble and
resolutions were passed in the House of Repre-
sentatiyes to-day, by a vote Of A to 10, aftel
an exciting debate, in substance as follows
Whereas information has reached this body
that an order has been issued by General Burn
side for the suppression of the Chicago Times
and whereas such order is In direct violation OF
the Constitution OF the United States and this
State, and destructive of those God-given prin
ciples, whose existence and recognition fol
centuries before the written Constitution was
made have made as much part of our rights
as the life which sustalns us.
"Be II resolved by the House of Representa-.
tives, the Senate concurring therein, That we
denounce the order which threatens an act So
revolutionary and despotc as contrary to lib.
erty, destructive TO good government, and sub,
versive Of constitutional and national rights,
and that If carried into effect we consider Il
equivalent to an overthrow OF our form OF gov.
ernment and the establishment of a military
dsspotism in its stead.
g Resolved, That in view of the monstrous
consequences which must inevitably flow from
such action If justified by the General Govern.
ment, we respectfully yet firmly request the
withdrawal of the order In question, and dis
avowal thereof by those in power, as the only
course which can be pursued to reassure our
people that the constitutional freedom so deaI
to their hearts has not ceased to be.
The attention of the Governor Is called tc
this infringement Of popular rights and the in
vason Of the sovereignty Of the State OF TllI-
