OUR SPRINGFIELD LETTER.
from Our Own Correspondent,
Esn1Nur1KLp. Feb. 6. 1853,

THE LOBBY CuAKGEs FRAUD.
A great cry Of fraud! fraud! was raised
among the lobby members to-day, aud the
utmost Indignation was manifested. Parties
gathered in groups discussing affairs, and
in these little mass meetings Of four or five,
or half dozen, very lively conversation took
place. You might hear, in answer to an cx-
cited speaker, who cried fraud! fraud! such
exclama ions US, "is 1t possiblc::" ''horribc,' ~
''what rascality," "give 'em h-1,' &c, &c.
It appears that the lobby lias for some time
been anxiously awaiting the appearance Of
ccftain bills for Charters bills for old claims,
&c, which have been referred to various
committees to report upon. Day after day
passed, however, and no bills have as ye. been
reported upon. It has been 'sllke calling
spirits from the vasty deep" with thu poor
lobby fcllows-they do not come. Such a
1lutteting you never saw; charges and
counter charges, examinations and rc-
criminations. Horse railroads and other
charters are mixed up in The matter. Attor-
neys have been here from Chicago and other
places, keeping open roo1ns-rcgular gro
cerics; bottles Of all colors and sizes grace
tEcir tables, filled with choice liqnoEs-whlsky
prcdominating. But this is not al. Money
las been spent like water. Chalrmen and
members Of committees arc charged with
bribery in keeping back the bills, and some
members are even charged with Offering to
eel their votes for cool thousand apiece. II
Ill the lobby says is true, such corrupt
Legislature never Eat in Springfield. Thou
sands must have been spent in briblng mem
bers Of committees to burke bills, While other
Thousands must haye gone to force bills
through. Chicngo horse railroads are the
principal bone Of contention in these uffairs,
and it Is thought there is more money in them
than In almost anything else before the Lcgis-
laturc.
Let us have the matter ventilsted by all
means. If there is fraud, let 1t be hid bare.

and may mean nothing in the mouths of
most who use them; hut the thing itself
the irm resolution to perish rather
than submit upon any terms whatever, is
precisely what is wanted"
We agree with him that it is a signif-
cant fact that the rebels have been brought
to their senses SO far as to see the folly of
their braggadocio. They have learned by
hard experience that neither they nor
any people wait "to die in the last ditch"
rather than surrender; that the men who
threaten most loudly to do it are generally
the first to leave the aforesaid ditch when
danger approaches. All this shows signs
of returning sanity, and crazy-headed
fellows like the editor of the Enquirer
may well feel disturbed at the prospect.
For when the people at large regain their
senses incurables ika himself will be
quickly shut up.

didates to the Richmond (secessionl
Convention, were required to pledge
themselves in advance. Joe Pendleton
harrangued his sympathizers in most lusty
terms Of depreciation at the Court House,
deuouncipg the idea of pledges as an abo-
lition invention. Now Joe and many more
of his sympathizers are in the rebel army,
and those of us who pressed the pledges up
on him, and thereby caused his defeat, stand
justified before all the people. A man who
will not in times like the present give his
constituents an honest, open exposition of
what his views aud expectations are, is
not a man to be trusted. Depend upon it

Fraud Exposed.

A few days ago secession sheet o.
our acquaintance, conspiCuously paraded
tho following paragraph in it's columns
as coming from the Chicago Tribune:
"Give as a rebel victory, let our armies
be destroyed, Maryland conquered, Wash
ington captured, the President exiled and
the Government destroyed; give us these,
and any other calRmities that can result
from defeat and ruin, sooner than victory
with Mcclellan as General"
We exchange with the Chicago paper
referred to, and had never noticed such a
paragraph in it, and we felt so certain
that the pretended quotation was fraud
and a libel that we sat down and enclosed
it to the editor of the Tribune, and asked
him if it could be possible that such a
sentiment had ever emenated from his pen.
He promptly replied, by yesterdays mail,
that 'pothing of the kind ever appeared in
the Chicago Tribune, and the sentiments
which it expresses are directly opposed to
all the Tribune has advocated since the
war began. The pretended quotation lis
IN invention of the enemy. There is not
~ iotA of truth in it."
We trust that our readers will make
note of this exposure and be on their guard
against such fraudulent work in the flu
ture.

An Alarmed EdItor.

Tho Richmond Enquirer is evidently
getting alarmed at the proofs which it
sees that there is an increasing number of
southeruers who are tired of the war. and
who begin to look about and ask what are
the prospects for some settlement of the
troubles. That journal labOrs to show
them that the hatred of tho north is too
intense for them to hope for anything but
an undyIng eumity. 1t says:
"If We had compromised the matter at
| tirst, We should have had plenty OF friends
and partiEans in the northern States, who
would not only have received us back with
triumph and honor, (what they call honor,
but would have eagerly offered us their
alliance to insure another long period OF
Democratic rule. Now, these northern
people are all, all, without exception, our
mortal enemies; not only because of the
expense We have put them to, the havoc
we have inflicted upon their commerce, the
vast debt we have accumulated upon them
which can only be paid out of our houses
and lands, the torrents of blood We have
shed on many field, aud the humiliations
We have made them endure in the eyes Of
their reyered Europe-uot only for these
reasons, but still more-they are our cue
mics because of that bitter scorn which
we have most sincerely aud heartily pour
ed cut upon them for many year"
The editor then turns to the women and
points out 10 them the doom which await;
them in case southern independence is moi
I secured. BE says.
'They must bow their proud heads e
their destiny. aud take the fate to vhie6
