The recent outbreak in Illinois, in
which some hundreds Of sympathizers
we're found in arms at moments warn
ing. indicates systematic organization
of that party aud determination to OBJ
struct the execution of the measures of
Government by armed force. The same
spirit actuates these armed sympathizers
in Illinois that impelled the rebels of the
South TO take arms in behalf of the Re-
bellion. And to a certain extent the
same spirit prevails with the Copperheads
everywhere. only they are more prudent
in its manifestation than their brethren
in Illinois. Many OF them, however,
assume the garb of friends of the Union
like the rebel soldiers put on the uniform
of our men, only to deceive and thereby
strike deadier blow.

Northern Abolitionists, bat events were
working round naturally, And with little
help from any patty in the Republic
To escape from these perils the Southern
leaders cut themselves and their territory
off from the Republic. thinking to pre-
serve slavery by making it the corner
stone Of their new policy. But in the
earliest days of the war they must have
found what the world now sees clearly
enough, that the war was the very shock
which was 70 overthrow the system it was
invented to save"

ADVERTISING Our merchants and
business men are beginning to realize the
benefits of advertising, as will be seen by
reference to the large number of new ad-

paper. They have learned that TO be
successful in any business they mus,
bring it before the public. A jndicious
use of printers ink is sure to make q

New DEPoT.-The track on the rail
road across the river is now completed to
the new depot building near the river
edge. and the first train, composed Of two
cars loaded with timber, passed over il
yesterday.


This new arrangement will make il
much more convenient for passengers and
shippers, and save great deal of cost il
getting freight to the cars. and a grea1
deal Of travel in getting to and from th1
depot. The ferry boat will now lane
nearly opposite this point ,and at the de
pot.

EE- The piles of freight which have
blockaded the leyee and almost obscured
the river from view for several weeks
past, are COW nearly all removed, there
being very little left. The packets de-
part each day we'll loaded. A large share
of it has been taken across the river.

is. Learned in the law, deeply read in the
classics, his mind finely polished by acquain-
tance with the literature Of England and
America, reading and speaking some Of the
languages Of continental Europe like his own
vcrnacular, it is evident he would not be
likely to suffer by comparison with almost
any gentleman in any company. BY the bril-
liancy Of his conversation, his terse and just
criticism on public men, his practical knowl
edge Of public affairs, the natural suavty Of
his manners, he is better calculated to fasci
nate ingenious youth and TO secure the gem
eral admiration than any gentleman in our
delegation--or any other, for that matter
In political strategy he is an accomplished
adept--"an adroit political gamester," as the
old Washington Union said about Mr. Grimes
in 1854. use the phrase, however, in a
better sense, not meaning to say that Mr..
kasson would resort to trickcry not fully jus
tilted by the rules and practices of politics.
Strategy is fair in politics as well rs war;
Those complain OF it most who arc beaten at
their own game therein. Mr. kassOn is an
admirable speaker confesscdly the first OF
our delegation in the House. His mind is
both clear and comprehensive, not annoyed
by innumerable details, not exhausted by the
most thorough examination Of an important
subject, or question Of vast import to many
interests. He will succeed, therefore, both
in the House and the committee room, and
reflect great honor upon his State.


Judge Hubbard, of the Sixth District, will
be, l think, the most popular man, personal
ly, Of any Of them. You only have to see
him to like him. Rather tall, Of q wiry build
with fine Roman countenancc and hair
like the driven snow, his appearance is worth
fortune to him. Many years ago he used
to cut stone in the land Of wooden nutmegs,
at six dollars month Here he is an hon.
ored representative Of large and intelligent
constituency, \ learned judge, fine impas
stoned orator and close reasoner, as plucky
as Old Benton himself, and as genial as Hen.

The courage Of a certain bull in Indiana,
which undertook to butt the locomotive Oh
the track at the trial on a railroad in that
section was much applaudsd, though his
most ardent admirers had but little to say in
behalf of his prudent conduct in the premis-
es, and so it is with those conductors Of
newspapers and other persons having access
to the public ear and influence over the pub
lie mind, who unmindful Of the but partly
fulfilled herculean task, we have already be"
fore US, are striving with might and main to
urge us into war with any other nation.


Why, we would ask, should not the same
rules Of prudence which govern individuals in
the ordinary transactions Of life, also govern
nations (caeteris paribus) in their diplomatic
intercourse with each other Now. what
man is there possessing the smallest share Of
practical fcrethought, who when he finds his
business on hand amply sufficient to employ
all his time, energy and surplus means, will
wantonly superadd to it another and still
more embarrassing one This is just the
condition in which our Government finds
itself at present. The rebellion, about to
give up the ghost during the ensuing sum-
mer, or at most to live only as the serpent
whose head has been crushed BY wagon
wheel, in convulsiye writhing, and fltful strug-
giles, has been the most thoroughly organized,
the most ably conducted, and the most per-
sistent in effort, of which history, ancient or
modern, gives US any record, nor have we
any account in the worlds story of any war
(civil or foreign) in which the question at
issue was so important (being no less than
the capacity OF man for self-goyernmentl-
the amount Of territory at issue so extensive
the conflicting armies so numerous and so
thoroughly determined, or the numbers OF
the slain so appalling. That we must in the
end gain the day and succeed in crushing
once and forever this hideous demon Of re-
volt, has been evident from the beginning,
but it would be the height Of folly now to as
sert that its accomplishment hitherto has not
been attended with 4 terrific expense IL
human lives and in means-a fact which we
would be glad to recall to the minds OF those
who seem so insanely bent on causing US s
infcctd to rush into another war.


That we would probably carry the day in
such war and strengthen the dogmas Of the
Monroe doctrine, is not to be doubted at all,
but whether this is the proper time, or our
present status the proper condition for un-
dertaking either the one or the other, is most
emphatically the point at issue-and our re.
sponse would be decided negative. All
that would be accomplished BY this war, II
now undertaken and at once successful, can
be accomplished at less expense both Of
blood and treasure, at the (now not distant)
day when foul secession shall no longer rear
aloft q fag-whcn secessionists shall shame
to face the light of day and the indignant
looks of their outraged fellow-beings, and
when this our glorious country, cured in the
late painful struggle Of many prejudices and
cleared of all imperfections, shall again stand
forth the asylum for all nations, with peace
within her gates and prosperity within her
borders-Union Vedette.
