It will be seen that the citizens Of Rockford
are wide awake to the Importance of the ap-
rroacling Canal Convention at Chicago.
More than fifty delegates have been appointed
to represent the sentiment Of this community
on that occasion; and it is fully expected
that every one Of the delegates SO appointed,
will fulfill the duties of his mission.
We notice that little breeze Of opposition
to the purposes OF the proposed Convention
has been raised in Milwaukee and Cincinnati
II is impossible to avoid seeing that such op-
ous considerations. That the military inter-
ests Of the milton, and the commercial inter-
es of nine .tenths Of the country, should be
denied in Difference to the local and selfish
advantages Of particular sections, is too pre-.
}osterens for respectful consideration. And
the fact that such opposition is raised, should
stimulate the friends Of the contemplated in
proyements, everywhere, to vigorous and IN.

TIE LEGISLATURE.
Some Of the Democracy here and through
ont the State, ore very anxious that the Legis
lature should meet. They are principally the
extreme radical wing, and those having claims
to put through. The Inter are getting up new
and brushing up old claims, preparatory to
going into an nctiye canvass OF the members,
who, Judging from their Lite proceedings, are
very 10th to be persuaded Of the propriety Of
any scheme that has money in it. There is q
great desire to interest Republicans in these
schemes, in order to influence them in coming
to the capital
Many Republicans who formerly thought
the Democrats meant to "drow it nild'' utter
'nl1, now take the other shute, and Say the De-
mocracy will raise Master Edwards this time
and no mistake, If they are allowed to meet.
Some of the leading Democrats wero in town
this week md last, endeayortng to ind out
what the Republicans intended to do. They
went home as wise rs they came, however.
Nothing definite has yet been heard from
the District formerly represented by Mr.. Rod
gers. The election took place last Saturday.
That election will de- crmine the political
complexion Of the Senate.
BUILDING l. SPRINGFIELD.
There is good deal Of building going on in
this city at present, and l notice some resi-
dences going up which would do credit to
any city in the Union Among them is I fine
brick mansion for Gen. Cook, who has sold
his former residence about mile from tho
city to Hon. Jesse Z. Dubois. Hon. J. c..
Conkliug has built two fine stores near the
corner If the Public Square. And Mr.. Arm
strong, the proprietor Of an extensive Woolen
factory, il putting up q large brick addition to
the same including TWO large stores fronting

private residences, with elegantly laid out and

L COPPERHEAD VIEW,

Vallandigham was not arrested and pun
1shed for any but the specific offences with
which he was charged before the court
martial that tried him; but as he has, since
his condemnation, been held up to the men
OF the country as patriot and martyr,
we propose to let our readers see what his
prtriotism amounts to, and how well the
martyrs crown befts him.
In hisplace in Congress he voted against
Mr.. Adams motion Of the eth Of January,
1861, approving the act Of Major Anderson
in Withdrawing from Fort Moultrie to Fort
Sumter, which resolution contained clause
p7odering the President the support Of the
national legislature in all constitutional
measures TO enforce the laws and preserve
the Union. He declared after the attack
npon Sumter, when our frinds and bro
enere' all over the North, were rushing to
arms, that "thc troops OF Ohio, before
they should march through his district to
"coerce the South, would hare to march
"over his dead body" He voted against
the bill for national loan to pay the vol
unteers, and hence to furnish support fol
their families during their absence in the
war. He voted against the bill to provide
