THE REPUBLICANS TO BE BEATEN 10000
IN ILLINOIS.

We have receive ed from Senator lates a
pamphlet copy Of bis speech, delivered in
the United States senate on the 18th day of
June 1865, in which he takes open and

to enforce it upon all the states in the
Union. lie says
"lhe argument that Illinois or New York or
Ohio is a republican form of government, if it
excludes any large class Of citizens on account
OF race, color or previous condition isnot worthy
OF a child ten years old"
How do our republicans in Rock Island
county like this? According to this, Meth.
er Illinois or a large number of the states
OF this Union, have republican form of
government. Senator Yates ought to have
a patent for the discovery.

people without regard TO race, color, or previous

And he might have added that the result

600 majority against the movement,--and
that it would be equally large in Illinois.
But Senator Yates don't mean to dodge
the question, and he don't mean his party
shall. lie says:

TaYinR the BOndholders

The Baltimore Gazette is after the bond
holders with the shArpest kind of stick
We confess says the editor it is a terri
| bic thing that bondholders should be taxed
for the support Of the government. Are
they not an exclusive and O privileged class?
Did they not, Ia the hour of the nation 8
agony, shave the paper Of the government
at the rate Of sixty per cent. discount, ana
shall they now be obliged, like ordinary m
dividuals, to assist in contributing TO the
revenue Of that government? In France
there are prizes distributed annually Tor
meritcrious conduct and what could be more
meritorious, or, in fact, more patriotic, than
TO make fortune out ofa government IN It's
extremity by supplying It with shoddy cloth
ing, shell that would not explode, horses
that we're spawned, and mules that never
bad any other existence except on paper ?
To invest the proceeds of the glorious evil
dences Of "loyalty" in government bonds at
forty cents on the dollar was so signal a
proof Of patriotism that if 1t were consonant
with republican institutions 10 bestow per

boudholders, they might reasonably hope to |
be created dukes of Onnium, earls Of Five
Tweuties, marquises Of Seyen.Thirties or
lords Of enForues.
As. however titles are not recognized with
US, the only thing that can be done, to show
the gratitude of"the nation" to these bond
holders fol fleeing it, is to enact that they
shall be regarded as q special class, and IN
vested with special privileges, the chief Of
which being that they shall draw interest on
heir bonds in gold, whilst the commonaIty
are only entitled to be paid in Rreenbaeks,
