Resignation of the Chairman of the RepubIi-
can State Committee Of Ilinois-Reason -
He is for the Presidential and Against the
Congressional Policy.

70 the Republican Union State Central Com
miHes Of Illinois:
GENTLEMEN--After a careful review of the
political situation of the couutry, feel that
Justice alike to you and myself requires me
to resign the position Of Chairman OF the Re
publican Union State Central Committee
Professional engagements rendered it i'm
practicable for me to be present at your
meeting held May 16, when the call was
made for a State Convention. Soon after the
call was published, wrote 10 James P
Root, ESQ, Secretary of the committee,
pointing ont what I regarded as an objection
able restriction, whereby large portion Of
the Republican voters OF Illinois were exclud-
ed from participation in the Convention
The manifest design of that call was to ex-
clude those who approved the PRESIDENT
plan of restoration. and to include only those
who approved the Congressional plan of re-
construction. As between the two plans I
am entirely in favor of the Presidents, and
against the Congressional. The former ignor-
es secession and assumes that a State once in
the Union cannot voluntarily 90 out, nor be
iDvOlptarily thrust out by Congress-the
latter denies the right of States to secede,
but assumes that Congress may ratify seces-
sion by holding States as conquered prov
inces'
I was opposed to secession in 1851, ard I
am Just as much opposed to expulsion in
1866; therefore cannot act hurmoniously
with that wing of the Republican party
which follows the lead of Congress
With sincere gratitude for the kindly rela-
tions which existed between US during the
campaign of 1854, and with assurance Of my
high esteem for each and all of you personal
ly, respectfully snler my resignation as
the chairman OF your committee.
I remain, very respectfully, your obedient
servant,
THOs. J. TURNER.

A SOLID REAsos.-Morton Me1iiOhasl. who
is the present Mayor OF Philsdelphis, and,
for many years, editor Of the North .ktheti-
can, as has already been announced, lately
came out in q strong article in that paper, ap-
proving of the Administrative policy Of Pres
ident Johnson. One Of the points he makes Is
this:
His speeches were always replete with
advocacy of low taxation, cheap government,
and simplicity Of administrative forms. His
prompt reorganization Of the conquered
States, on the return of peace, and disband-
ment of our vast armies and s'Rarms OF war
officials, undoubtedly saved the nation hdhs
dreds Of millions ol dollars and. as We ip-
proved Of his action then, we have since seen
no reeson to change our views
The people viii see in the above good rea-
sons for sustaining the President, to reduce
the expenses Of the Government, and TO that
end uphold his restoration polieh, which, Il
it prevail, viii save millions on nniIisas of
dollars to the public treasury.

MORE TAXES.

There are a number of little bills now running
at the Legislature which propose to add paltry
Half Million or so to the annual Tax-bls of our
State. We beg the members to just squelch
them all. The people Of our State are fearfully
tax-ridden at present, and must continue to be
for three or four years to come; and the farmers
will probably have to take lower prices for their
produce next Fall, while men in business are as
likely to lose as to make money during the cur
rent year. farmer who was called on for
800 and paid it freely when he sold his
produce so high that he had 81 900 over
as his years profit will be staggered by call
for $3.50, or even 1925, when his surplus
produce brings but half price, and barely
enables him to pay his store-bill. Wherefore,
Messrs. Legislators! you must not ask them
to help pay for constructing railroads, nor bits
Of canal, nor new Capitol, this year. They
can't well stand it; and all these things can
wait. Especially that new Capitol should wait

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

We do not often find chance 10 praise the
Democratic party of Pennsylvania, but we
never leave one unimproved; and We are now
enabled to crafty our natural inclination with
good conscience. Their nomination Of Hester
Clymer for Governor is one that it was emf
nently fit that they should make. For, in the
first place, he is a good citizen, Of very fair
abilities, ard reputable character Next, he
lives in Berks County, which has generally
given large Democratic majorities, and has
repeatedly tried to have Governor but
has not succeeded and it is but just to
give her another chance. Then he was a
Wing Of other days; and it is but fair that the
party which has furnished to the present Democ-
racy Of Pennsylvania so large q share of its
brains should occasionally have the post Of
honor: and it shows proper liberality in the
"birthright members" to accord it. But, lastly,
and mainly, Mr.. Clymer was al unmtigated,
unqualified Copperhead throughout the War,
and did not pretend to be anything else. lie
supported the decision Of tho Democratic ma
jority of the Supreme Court Of Pennsylvania
which pronounced null and void the act Of Con-
gress providing for the enrolment and calling
out of the National forces'-a decision which,
had it not been overruled, would have
laid the Republic PROSTATE at the feet
of the Rebellion, and effected the dis
solution of the Union. We do not know
that he ever affected to desire the triumph
of the National arms-we do know that all his
public acts and utterances tended to secure the
success of the Rebels. Mr.. Clymer was in all
things in perfect accord with nine-tenths of his
party, is their proper representative and will
poll their full vote There is no cheat in his
nomination, which makes square, clear issue.
If he gets beaten, it will be because the people
are not of his school, but believe in unfolding
the Union.

FRIENDS IN COUNCIL.

1t is known that the Reconstruction Commit
tee has reported, and the House has passed, a
Joint Resolution proposing ali Amendment to
the Federal Constitution prescribing that where
any State shall disfranchise and render polti-
caly impotent any portion of its own people
because Of race or color, that portion shall not
be computed or taken into account in estimating
the Federal population of that State as a basis
of representation in Congress. A Washington
dispatch says:
1T is generally conceded here that the Blaine
Amendment TO the Constutionwill be defeated In the
Senate. full Senate contains % members; and IL
votes will kill the Amendment being more than one
third The IL Democratic Senators Will unquestion'
ably vote against iii will also 1t Is alleged the follow
ing named Senator's Messrs. Sumner of Massachusetts,
Dixon OF Connecticut, Morgan OF New York, Cowan OF
Pennsylvania Wiley and Van WiDklo of West Vir-
ginia Henderson of Missouri, and Stewart OF Nevada
making 10 in all. The remaining 81 Senators there
Is good reason 10 believe, will all vote for the Amend.
nent."
The Amendment in question was not favored
by us prior to its submission to Congress by its
Committee on Reconstruction; and it is not
now what we would propose and pass if we
could have exactly our own way. But, since
it has been reported, and has passed the House
by large majority and is vehemently opposed
on partisan grounds by the Democratic minority,
we submit that the Republican Senators who
conspire to enable that minority to defeat it
will assume q very grave responsibility.

Union by act Of Congress. Mr.. Stevens ex-
planned that q large number of cadets had been
appointed illegally from Rebel States during

put stop to the practice.
