matters, and adjourned at IL this
morning, after adopting a spirited
platform. The preamble aciinow-
Lodges the obligation to adhere to the
Union, support the General Govern

sures, and claim from the Govern
ment the due performance of its re-
ciprocal duty to extend to us, in
common with the people of the whole
country, the protection guaranteed
by the Constitution. This, without
factious opposition to the Govern
ment or untimely interruption of the
