THE QUINCY HERALD AED AUSTIN
BROOKS.

The name of Austin Brooks is insepara
bly, connected with that sterling democratic
newspaper, the Quincy Herald, and they
ought never to have been separated. Some
two years ago he left the paper and went to
Hannibal, Missouri Now, in common with
the democracy of the whole state, and es-
pecIally OF this congressional district, we re.
Jofce to learn, as we do by the Herald of the
2lst, that he has returned to his old position.
as chief editor and controller of its columns.
For twenty-five years he labored for the
cause OF democracy, in the Herald, and for
the interests of his town. No editor has
done 80 much for the advancement of demo
cratic principles in Illinois as Austin Brooks.
and no man has worked with more zeal and
effect for the benefit of his town. He has no
equal, as campaign editor, in Illinois. and
we are happy to know that we shall have his
aid, IN the coming contest, in redeeming III
inols and the 4th district, next fall. With
Brooks IN the Herald office, that paper will
again take Its proper position as one of the
leading newspapers in Illinois.

While the liabilities of the people of the
United States hang on a balance, and con-
gress is attempting to destroy the supreme
court, and all the country is excited upon
this subject; while all the conservative pa
pers and large number of republican news
papers are denouncing the folly and mad
ness of the radical majority in congress,
the Rock Island and Moline Union is struck
dumb, and is on the fence. This is an unen-
viable position for newspaper which seeks
to be considered the leading paper of this
vicinity!

Tax-pavers-hun, up your old tax receip

Tax-payers-hunt up your old tax receipts,
given to you when the democrats were in
power, and compare them with your tax re-
ceipts of last and this year. If you find that
you paid more taxes or higher taxes when
the democrats were in power than you do
now, then, when you come to vote, by all
means vote the Grant-radical ticket But
If you find that you now pay many times the
taxes, under radical rule, that you did under
democratic rule, then, to protect yourselves
against future increase Of taxation, vote the
democratic ticket.

Democratic STATE Convention.
ROCKS OF THE DEMOCRATIC STATE

Springfield, Jan. SGD, -.
The democratic state central eol ~ me- ~
Springfield ON this date, parsusIms ~ u11 iion
the executive committee. sa,s aessn.s' .S
,oI;.;csl s;tnst;on and national future was the
ssnh;sct ~ EARNEST and earefuleonsideration. The
fscfs vbich this consideration brought to the no.
t;ce of the committee were, that the entire people
~ fbe United States are laboring under q burden
of federal, state and local taxation such as has
never besn laid upon any people before The
financial policy OF the dominant party is such
that these burdens must inevitably increase if
the power of that party is continued The OBJ
vious effect of this policy is to create q monied
aristrocrsoy. In addition to this general system
OF oppression, large portion Of the sovereign
states OF the Union are not permitted to enjoy
republican form Of government, but are crushed
into the condition of dependent colonies, by mill
tary rule. This system of government is pursued
by the dominant party for the purpose OF thrust
ing upon the country the suffrages OF lately
emanoipated slaves. The entire polacy or the
dominant party is therefore confined to an effort
to retain the patronage of the government by
means of negro suffrage, and the influence of the
influential corporations of the country. These
facts being paipabie and undisputed, the central
committee directed their executive committee to
call convention of the democracy Of the state of
Illinois, to be held at Springfield, Illinois, on
Wednesday, April 18th, 1858, at IAN.
The democracy of each county are therefore
notified to send delegates to said convention for
the purpose of declaring the principles which
shall actuate the democratic party in the next
presidential canvass; for the purpose of appoint
ing delegates to the national democratic conven-
ton, nominating electors for the state of Illinois,
for the nomination of candidates for state officers
and for tie transaction of such other business as
may come before the convention.
Each county viii be allowed one delegate for
every three hundred (300) votes cast for George
B. Mcclellan for president in 1854, and one dele
gate for q fraction of $50 and over of said vote.
