DISUNION STATE CONVENTIO n.

The disunion party Of Illinois. held their
state convention at Springfield, on the 8th,
inst, aud nominated the following state tick.
ct:
Congress-John 4 Logan
Treasurer-G. W. Smith, of Chicago,
SUPPLEMENTARY. Bateman.
They also resolved that their party was the
party to be relied on in reoonstructing the
state governments a thing already done
that they indorse congress, and approve Of
the proposed constitutional amendment; that
laws passed by congress, over the veto, ought
to bs faithfully executed certainly that
congress is the only standard of the national
will, and is tbs supreme power; guess not
the executive and judicial branches of the
government are co-eqaal powers that the
friends and defenders Of the government
ought to control and direct it; why don't
their otfics-holders resign, then that they
regard the congressional test oath as "a big
thing, and are opposed to modifying it; in
which they differ from their friends in the
senase,on the Patterson easel that their sym
$500 pcopi0 "a
they can control theirsvotasl that they thank
the soldiers and sailors who saved the Union
while they are trying to destroy it and they
"trust the time will never come when the
people will cease to hold in grsteful COM
memoratIon, or cease to reward, tho defen-
ders OF the Union" Lwho vote their ticket I
That's their platform.
Their convention was very thinly attend
cd, and marked by no enthusiasm or conf
denoe of success, A party in favor of keen
ing the Union divided can hardly expect to
carry Illinois.
The Chicago Times says:
The disunian state convention, held at Sprinp.
field yesterday, seems to have been a tame affair,
both in numbers and spirit Its ticket consists
OF an ex-rebel, soldier, and an abolitionist-
Its resolutions are sufficiently radical to CRAFTY
the most rabid destructives. Inasmuch as VIZ
beheve that great majority of the people o.
lihnois are against the radical policy of revolu
ton and indefinite disunion, we predict that thi.
ticket and this platform will be literally vipec
out in November. - -,

Not long since the disunion radicals 90 up
In Washington and adopted the resolutions
and sent them out to the country as al ex-
preston of opinion by Grish-An orleans. This
piece of dsmagogism SO incsnsed the real
IRISH American citizens of the District Of CO.
Iumbia, and vicinity, that they have just held
a monster mass meeting in Growers Theatre,
Washington, portion of the proceedings of
which will be found in this paper. The rad

for Hearts Content is Halifax aud from that

Numbering coach, whose convenieu ,es are
none and whose charges are extortionate.--
Thus far the trip is confined 10 public con.

must take the oDus. There are no stages,
for there is ordinarily no travel. Nothing
but long billy stretch Of uHbr0ken cou rtry

tent is found to be q small coast settlement
with no buildings worthy cf note, and per
