victory were dNsipatcd uv thu revival of
the policy ot cowardice which elected
Mr. Haines Speaker of the Hoiie.
Just at tills moment tlic Democratic
manager nre organizing for a cowardly
canvas. I hey propose to call a Slate
convention sometime lu May and restrict
It action to the appointment of delegates
to the SI. I.quI June convention. Alter
the St. I.ouis convention has done its
work, our managers propo-c to call an
other State convention, and permit It to
say what the St. Louis convention has
aid,amlto nominate a ticket, lu fact,
our manager have agreed among them
selves, that the Democrats of Illinois
should, in view ot the approaching Presi
dential election, not declare their politi
cal attitude that they should.ln Justice to
their fellow-Democrats of the L'nlon, de
clare by silence that they have no politi
cal opinions iind aru willing lo thout
whatever they aru directed to -Itoutby
their fellow-Democrats of the other
State-!
lie nope tins cowardly scheme may
not bo successful. If itshould be, little
Khodc lland will have more moral
strength In tho National convenllon than
the great State of Illinois. Iihod Island
will be at least respected, but Illinois will
be, as she should be, regarded with a kind
of contempt that win liiiiiilllatolier.il a
State guilty of the meanness ot no oplu
Ion can be humiliated, itut the scheme
cannot surely It cannot bu siiccesslul,
If public attention Is attracted to the
dcp!cah!c meanness that distinguishes
It. If, at tht' llrst convention, a delegate
should oiler a resolution declaring, that
tho Democracy ot Illinois, now in con
vention uMcmblcd, lu view ot the tip
proachlng Presidential election, feel It
(tuts to their fiilow-Dcmoctats ol the
Union lo declare their political attitude,
would any gentleman who is now advo
eating tho two-conventions dodge, nrUc
and say: "Plcvc don't. Von are spoiling

'as to make thu resolution read, that

Injustice, ns every one who will take the
troublo to understand the matter will ad
mit. By the net ol l.s,.'i.ciillllotl "an net to
'lunil the railroad dt M ofcottulie, town

Illinois said lothe p.ople or each county,
township, city mid town hi thu State:
"If you will ei eaten ileht under Hit! pro-'li-loiis
ofany law of this Stale, to aid In
'the construction of any railway or rail

'from nud after the passage ol thlsact,

.Many eounln . townships, cities and
towns, bellevh.g the pledge made to
them by tho people of the Slate to be as
good a gold, were Induced thcicby to
incur railroad Indebtedness. They be
lieved that, under this law, thu burden
would bu not felt that, In truth, the In
vestment of their credit in new railroads
would give them not only tho railroad,
but return to them a reasonable piolit.
But the supreme court of the State, in
I!am-ey '. llicger, abtogated soniuch td
this act a provides that the State tax on
tin- lucrca'cd valuation over lSiS nud
on the property or railroads aided, should
bo placed to thu credit ol thu local aid
bonds and applied by thu Slate treasurer
hi the payment of ftald bonds. This de
cision kit the burden of debt upon the

consideration upon which ihcnlchts had
been Inclined ; but thu decision docs not
aflect thu validity of the bonds, the right
to register them, nor the levy and collec
tion (d the interest on registered bonds
by Slate authority.
That, In this matter, a great wrong ha
boon done to our people, and to all the
oilier counties that weiu Induced
by the act of lwi! to incur
railroad indebtedness, no one will
deny ; but this tact does not inaku
even probable the success of an action in

the "said railroad debt was madu under

to pay. Oiu people may defeat the rail-
roatl bonds, but they cannot do so on thu
ground that thu people of the State of
Illinois madu a contract with tho people
of Cairo ami Alexander county, and then,
by a decision of the Statu su
premo court, were enabled to re
pudiate their contract with the pcopluol
Cairo and Alexander county and did re
pudiate it.
c have a riu'ht of action against the
peopleof tho Stale, but have not therefore
a right to defeat our creditors. Wu may,
anil wo ought to, demand of thu people of
tho Statu of Illinois, who have 'hamefully
treated us who induced u bv Ivhi"
promises to go Into debt who have
actually madu us bankrupt by repmli,
ating a contract mauo Willi us
ought to demand of the people of Illinois
that they assutno thu?e debt. They will
not, we arc confident, refuse to do so
DurlTig the tlmu thu law wa.- in foice
before tho supreme court took out ot it
Ihc kernel many attempts wcru madu to
repeal It. lhu.o attempts wcru always
defeated by a large majoiity. Tills tact
is proof that a majority of the people ol
tho Statu aro atixlou that thu Statu shall
make gootl thu promise that was madu to
tliu counties, townships, cities nud towns
by thu act of lsiiii, and what thu majority
ol tho people wlh to have donu they may
liavetlone. Anil In this fact wu see rea
son to bellcvo wu may obtain relief from
thu unjust burden of our railioail taxes.
The General Assembly may, we believe,
take up thesu local debts and put them
Into State bonds, am thiaitslioultl do. Its
promise Induced communities to go Into
debt, ami It is in iiouor boutid to taku these
debts oil' the communities with which
it has been prevented fioni dealing lalily
- from standing by its contract. Tho
courts, wu leaf, can ivo to us no relict ;
the (iencral Assembly can, and will 11
we send up lo It men who know what
ought to be done, know how to do It anil
will tlo it.
