THE STATE FAIR AT CHI

Two Views Of the Subject.

No little dissatisfaction Is being expressed
in Southern Illinois On account Of tho 1oca~
tfon Of the next annual State Fair at Chica-
go instead ofsome central point, and 1t Is al
ready proposed that steps shall be taken to
get up Fair for Southern Illinois 4 cores.
pondent Of the Belleville Adroea'e writes as

"BclIerille, Feb. u, 1861
It is scarcely to be doubted that Fair At
East 1t. Louis OF Centralia would be largely
patrontzed by the citizens Of the central pof-
uon Of the State. We think the locating
eommittees Of the State Agricultural Society
have made grave mistake in not seeking
more central location.

j.. We have been at GONE pains to ascertatn
tie reasons which influenced the committee
of he State AgricultuJal Society In locating
the State Fair 1t Chicago. 4 correspondent
of"the Belleville Adrocate, in recent number
OF that paper, complains Of that action, and,
seemlngly censured the locating committee.
With what Injustice the complaint is made
will DO apparent when We state that no citi-
zens Of southern Illinois, or Of the south half
Of ne State, expressed to the locating com
mittee any desire whatever to hare the fair
neld thete. No propositions ere;preseuted
to that committee except from Jaek ek#,nville,
Decatur and Chicago, and none but that
from Chicago offered 10 guarantee fulfill
ment of the uniform acquisitions Of the State
society: although the specifications were ad-
veItased for weeks in the st. Louis. Spring
aeld and Chicago daily papers, and correa-
pondence had with many prominent citizens
Of southern Illinois in regard to The matter.
The committee, and indeed the whole board
of thc State society, would bare been glad to
hold the next two falts Ia southern Illinois,
but they could not do so without even aa in
vitation. unless they had chosen to iacuf Z

DEmAGoGuIsm AND TIE DRAFT,
A contemporary, not noted for its dc7o>
| tion to law. except as represented by ths
fugitive slave law and the s'laws" passed
| at Richmond, Is anxious to prevent the
President from violating the draft law,
By melting the people to opposition upon
false and untenable grounds after all proper
and legal efforts to prevent its cniorcenen
have failed. our contemporary says:
!" The questions are ROW broadly presented to
the peopls Of ths stats whether they will demand
the quota assigned -
pss sa al RsS &. se 9Ss.sg sssq se
the bidding Of 1rfespons,ble power"
The above contains three important false
hoods:
i. That the President in enforcing the draft
in Chicago will not be acting in strict obc-
dicncc to Law.
2. That the draft demands the s>liVes" Of
ihe drafted men. It only demands their s.1-
vices. II they lose their lfves. 1t will be at
the hands Of Just such t'rebels" t' as the Chi
cago 1nmes, who are fighting to resist the
government in the ns1os Of the law Just Us
tho rebel organ recommends that the people
Of Chicago should do.
3. That Governor Oglesby has the right to
sit in Judgment on the legality of the P1esI-
DENTS acts. and to lead the people Of Illinois
into rebellion, If he concludes them to be un-
lawful. This is untrue. Congress by impeach-
mept, and the Supreme Court can alone de-
eide on the legality Of the acts Of the Presi-
dent. Any other doctrine Is secession. It
may he =. democracy" to talk OF write 1t, but
to plan 1t is treasou, and to attempt 1t Is re-
belliou.
But the Presidents course in ordering the
draft IN Chicsso is strictly legal. The enroll
naent and assignment Of quotas have not
been opposed on the ground that they were
illegally taken, but solely on the ground that
though legally taken, they were 40 taken as
to result in an unfair and unjust assignment
Of our quota. They were in compliance with
the law, but were not In accordance with The
facts, The various steps taken to sccnre .
correct enrolment we're legal, but correct
enrolment WAS not In fact obtained. Whos<
