Chicago must have emptied itself Of It's
wirc~pullcrs and politicians within the past
few days. They are here In largo numbers
bnsi1y engaged In lobying for all kinds Of
bills, public and private. Horse and steam
railroads, insurance companies, pawn-brokers,
and banks and corporations Of every kind
hare their advocates, and arc urged with a
great degree Of pertinacity. Notwithstanding
that the State and nation are in tho thzocs Of
revolution uncxampled in the history OF tue
world, these people are rs busy with their
petty, personal schemes, as SO many ans &C.
curing their property while their nest Is oeng
rooted up by some misehieSous boy. II Is
really pIttifnl to: behold even how readily
these people are willing to barter away eTery
1hipg-princip1ce country 6c-u they can
ou1y secure their personal ends for the time
being. .xs.x>,, ,,.,,,.!
Tic wires with which these secessiouists
hare been busily innoculating the State, cs-
pccially at the Capital, is exhibiting its effects
in various places. At Lee, Hilton county, d
Democratic meeting resolved that the Presi-
dent is foresworn and pcrjnred, and shou1dno
longer be permitted to disgrace the chair once
occupied by Washington, Jefferson, and Jack
son; that they loathe and abhor the miacreant
