see the grave disadvantages of letting mat

Government be irritated into taking the initia-

we imagine that General Grants third term

and a fourth which will affect most of them,
against any hasty action in this matter.
In the first place, there is the general indis-
position in the United States to adopt Consti-
tutienal Amendments without the most urgent
cause. The Constitution of the United States
is a sort of Bible to the people, from which
they are certainly unwilling to subtract, and
to which they are almost equally unwilling to
add, a single iota. Next, there is the very
deeply grained objection to any transterenCe OF
a region of political activity over which the
separate States have hitherto retained their
control to the domain of fixed national law,
in which the legislatures of the States are to
have no voice. Thirdly, there is the strong
diStrust of over-goyernment, and liking for
lalssez-falre, which showed itself in the
various ingenious constitutional restrictions
on all legislative impulses, and which certain
" will not act least powerfully on a subject

lastly. in most of the States it will be felt that
the influence of dangerous propaganda faiths,
however remarkable, isnOJ one which deeply al
fects the policy ofthose States. In New DIRK,
and perhaps in California lin relation to the Chi
nese sch0ols), President Grants proposal may
awaken much more active political passions.

editor of the Union has several times at

Who for Congress?

Mr.. W. NJ. Kennedy, proprietor of the
Dixon San, and Mr.. f. B. Stiles, of Dixon,
were at the Harper House last night, and
left for home this morning. Mr.. Kennedy
said they came down to see if our county
had any programme or any candidate for
congress this fall, and if not, Lee county
would be glad to see Mr.. Stiles the candi-
date. Mr.. S. wGs TIE Democratic candi-
date for congress in 1862 against T.. B.
Washburne, beating him badly in his own
town (Galona) and making fine run in
the district. He is an able and very
popular man, and would. as far as we
know, make a good candidate. He is not
anxious for the nomination, but says if he
is the candidate he intends to be elected, if
possible The Industrial Age has sug-
gested John ii. Bryant, but we have not
seen the suggestion seconded by any other
paper. We know of no one in this county
who is seeking the nomination, but we
have heard Mr.. S. w. Wheelock, of
Moline, suggested as a stong candidate if
he would accept. Others have asked if
MIR. Durham, of Henry, would take the
nomination.
The district was Republican at the last
congressional election (lS74) by 3,11O
majority, and at the previous election
(lS72l by 5,90S majority, and at the
previous presidential election the counties
composing the district, gave 6,035 Kepub

A Springfield telegram to the Chicago
Times of Tuesday conveys the intelligence
that Hon. Charles Durham of this place
is regarded as the probable Democratic
candidate for governor this fall He is
without doubt the ablest man in the Dem
ocratie party in Illinois, and in political
integrity head and shoulders above the
tallest of them, and that is just what leads
us to conclude that he will not be nomina-
ted at Springfield on the 9th instant
While he would be a strong candidate
with the intelligent and honest portion OF
the party, his personal and political integ-
rity would kill him with a large majority
of it, He is a very able man, but we dc
not look for his nomination, though the
party will miss it by selecting another.
