pohiao. of aa-nsst and careful consideration. The
fsots xh;cb this consideration brought to the no.
ito of the committee WERE that the entire people
of the limited States are laboring under q burden
of federal, state ana local taxation such as has
never been 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 monied
s-is5rocracy. In addition to this general system
Of oppression, large portion Of the sovereign
states of the Union are not permitted to ENJOY u
republican form of government, but are crushed
into the condition of dependent colonies, by min
tary rule. This system of government is Pufsuou
By the dominant party for the purpose OF thrust
ing upon the country the suffrages "a .a'oty
emaucipated slaves. The entire Pohcy VI ehe
dominant party is therefore conhnea 10 an enort

means of negro suffrage, and the lnnuence OF the
influential eornorations of the country. These
facts being pafpable and undisputed the central
committee directed their executive committee to
osIl convention of the democracy of the state of
Illinois, to be held at Springfield Illinois, on
Wednesday, April 18th, 1868, at 10 N.
The democracy of each county are therefore
notified to send delegates TO said convention for
the purpose Of declaring the principles which
shall aotuate the smocratc party in the next
presidential canvass; for the purpose of appoint
ing delegates to the national democratic oonven-
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 ounty will be allowed delegate for
every three hund red 5000 votes cast for George
B. Mcclellan for president in 1864, and one dele-
gate for fraction of $50 and over of said vote.

A STRAW.

The recent election for congressman, in
the 9Th Ohio district, to Eli vacancy, shows
how the radical party is weakening. In
1868 Gov. Brough's radical majority in that
district was 1852. In 1864, Smith, radical,
for secretary of state, had 2,O07 majority
In 1865, Gov. Cox, radical, had l,523 ma
jority. In 1866, Hamilton, radical, fol-
congress, had 1852 majority. And now,
Beatty, radical, has, by official count, only
S20 A similar change throughout the
Union would beat the radicals in every
state, except, perhaps, Vermont, Rhode Is
land and Iowa.

killed. cabbage. II is not considered by the
gentlemen who conduct the radical party in
this state, that cabbage, either raw, boiled or
picked, is the meat on which Caesars should
feed to become great. Denying any inten-
ton of punning, we may say that Richard
LIST has attained some celebrity as siezer,
having, during the time he occupied the gov.
ernor's Office, seized upon lucre to the am
cunt of S250,000. Our extreme love of truth
prevents us saying he occupied the govern.
or's chair, as the fact is that for most of the
four years he signed commissions, he was
not in condition to occupy chair, but
had TO content his aspirations with a lounge,
and was sometimes reduced to the floor.
What ever he ate then, he is on cabbage
now, and the RAIDS want him to resign. Bob
Ingersoil, (which is attorney general left
last night for Washington, to assist in bring
ing what is left of Richards mind, to this
conclusion. Bob is 0glesby's friend, and if
Yates resigns, then 0glesby will resign, and

TIE WoMEN's PAPER ON GRANT.-The
Revolution, the organ of women's rights,
gives currency to the following:
The talk is, that cabinet officer called
Grant "liar" and a Sneak that
Gen. Grant is drunk half the time, and has
been seen steadying himself on another's
arm in Pennsylvania avenue that Stanton
and Washburne have humbugged him, and
that he feels his degradation, and don't look
anybody in the face. The talk is, that Jay
Cooke goes in for killing Gen. Grant and
nominating Chase; that Chase don't get
drunk, is a moral man, and liberal to loan
agents and national bank men. The talk is,
that the people are sick of all politicians
that they don't see their temperance or moral
ity in Washington that they want fresh
