JACKSONVILLE, Dec. u, 1867.
Gen. Fuller, chairman of the legislative
investigating committee of state institutions
and jacobin candidate for governor, has pub
ilshed the report of the committee, and the
people of the state have read it at least the
lacobin part of them have democrats have
not interest enough in the matter to read it.
The iaeobins of Jacksonville, being iacobin
citizens of the state of Illinois, have also
read it. They see that the jacobin commit
tee have been uear enough the lal obin sta
BILE to find out that they stinketh and pre-
tend to have made startling developments in
regard to the management of Dr. Mcfarland
a jacohin by birth, life and position-and
his employees of the insane asylum. Last
night meeting was called at the court
house to deliberate In regard to the matter
A very good crowd assembled back on
the benches to see what was to be DONE
Within the bar sat the knowing iacobins,
heads and employees of the other state insti-
tutions, trustees and employees of the Insane
Asylum, and its attorney; all those jacob, q
merchants and -four dealers who get their
quarterly accounts against the state of Hi
nois cashed by DR.. Mcfarland, and few
others ''who don't want to see things stirred,
because they don't know when it win stop
These men said some pieces, read some doc
uments, and it was announced by the chair
that some resolutions expressive of the sem
tlments of the citizens of Jacksonville had
struggled into existence, and the jackson
vile papers were requested to publish them,
with request to all the other papers in the
state to publish them. Col. Smith was there
with mouth open, and to-day his paper is
full OF DR.. Mcfarland. Now, we protest
that those resolutions do not express the
sentiment of our citizens, and we hereby
publicly declare that they are only the cut
and dried expressions of cheek and iowl
friends of Dr. Mcfarland. The popular SEN
tlment OF Jacksonville, as the sentiment O
every sensible man in the state must be. is
an allegiance, waiting for all the facts befo
breaches a conclusion. If DIR. Mcfarland

transactions of the secret conclave of the
Union League are known; and that revenge
is sweet that sees the sUorn friends of that
conclave destroying one another with the vi
rus of their own throats. It amt our fuper-
