That the secrecy-'in which th ^'are shrouded' indii- cate designs and objects that are so infamous and unna ural that they are too appalling to be exhibited to the gaze! of the world. Resolved,: Thut it is ttie duty of every, citii-. zen to unite in Vi proper efforts to preserve and perpeuiate the Union fn accordance with the ConHtitlition. I ' ' | ■■ Resulted,\ That the jjyal people of Elgin hereby pledge their fortunes, their influence^ and their honor, to the support of the Nation* al authority, to secure a complete and final suppression of the wicked, causeless and at- trocious insurrection which now desolates our country. , ^ Resolved, That every citizen owes allegi- ance to the Government, and he who denies, its .authority,.or fails"lb his duty to upholdi the honor df its flag, islan abettor of treason, and should suffer the penalty due to his crime.' , j. . :;r V Resulved,\ That the Aijiy of the Union owe their allegisincp to the Constitution they have sworn to support and defend, and that rio soldier can jrightfully hesitate in his obedience to the. commands of superiors in rank, whqse authority isi derived from the Government: of the United States. j Resolved,\ That we tender our thanks to the:brave men who hav^ gone toido battle for their country • that we are proud of their fortitude anil gallantry,, and shall. uSe every influence within our poWer to render their condition cojmfortable, aiid assist in a vigor- ous prosecujtion of the war until an hbnora- ble p6ace can be procured. j Reioltied,; That this meeting, under solemn conviction Of duty, and in a firm reliance on the justice of that Providence which guides ,and guards the destiny pf Governments and people, doe§ hereby pledge itself to antfn-<- conditfonal j support of,ithe Government in all its Codsututional efforts to sup°press the rebellion, and an undyiijg and an uncompro- mising opposition to treasdn in whatever quarter found, and. in whatever form it may >ppear. .'-j - * ■' The ball;Was now fully open, and the ehifef manager took the floor. • Ed. knew the object of the meeting. It was to puige .the Democratic party of the taint of treason, and denounce the Union League On these two points he .fanted, roared, and] bellowed for something over an bo.ur. Such a mixture of sense and nonsense* piety and piofamty, patriotic sentiment and coarse ' personality was never heard in one hour. Sucbl ofty tumbling from the sublime to the ridiculous would be attempted by no one else, lie catn6 to lastly, and finally ks many tithes las an empty-headed preachcr, tut actually stopped &t last, and called fdr a vote on the rraoljations. Thq_claq«ers said aye, the people aiid nothing. Calls were mad® f»r ■A Other Bpeakerrs, but the manager callefi for nn Adjotirmnent, ^tnd advised the people to get out of tbe hull. Thtts ended the broadest hx<x end-the meanest fraud efer enactec in Elgin. .. -r '-Ai'rtJnlon Iicagiics.- The talk of introducing this orftmizationhg^^ the,r confidence insures, into this section has caused a great deal portance;(>f their varied intents, fluttering. Old party hacks havei grown very me.^t tbo best roturn I can wise^ and have proceeded to: point out the evils of such an organization. We have?ta- ken spme pains to inquire into the matter, and we ascertain tfaat it is-simply a patriotic andtiot a political organization at all; ^ It interferes with no man's political preferences. It simply pledges him to unconditional loy- alty—to * resist the dismemberment of the Union, and to stand by the Constitution as it is. It has no more secrecy than is neces, sary to protect itlfrOm the spies, who in the Border States where it originated are ever on the alert and r eady to bring destruction on eery Union man. MoYeover, there is not a Word abolit any past po'itipal issue, and no allusion to the "colored gem'men" in any way whatever;— Every man Who pliccs,the Union above party, who is.for doing all—suffering all, that may be necessary, to save the country from the horrors of dissolution, can enter this patriot- ic organization. The article' clipped from the Peoria Transcript shows how things fctattd further S'outh., P. 5. The above we had written before the meeting on Saturday evening. . We let it stand as our deliberate testimony • notwith- standing tho Tulgstr assault of men Vbo know nothing about the matter. i , i Tliu -Cohti-abaiids. Some months since the Chaplain of the 52d, actiOg under orders, brought to this place two car loads of colpr^d; refugees from Alabama. They cohS'isted ilniost entirely of women and children, tbd men being ntaified to^work for .the aripy. They camV just as winter set in, debilitated by exposure in the birracks at Cairo arid other. plstceS'. Many Of them were sick with lung fever, of which a number sbon dii d.! , _ - i~ They came in the midst of a great political excitement, when / the milk of human kind- ness was dried up by partisan heat. They had not lien here long when the Small pox broke out among them, and was communicatcd tdi jseveral families,' whfre they had been distributed. This of course in- 'tressed the prejudice against tbem. They have been here about six months.— Perhaps twenty of them have died. The rest arc now comfortably situated;, contented and h pny. 7\ il' i They have been, treated with uniform kind- ness byVii, and- hav.o - conducted themselves with su^h'propriety as to greatly disarm prejudice. They are quiet, peaceable and in- dustrious. All pf them are* how supporting themselves, and so great is' the demand for labor that twice the number: could easily find employment. Scarcely a day passes, but we receive a call fr6m. some farmer desirous of taking one o"r more oF lhem. Five hundred of them would bp_ welcomed by the farmers of Kane county, if-the laws would permit them to be brought here. ' The idea they will not work for wages is exploded in this com- munity;. Many have found Out they will not work-without wages, and some of them are about as cute at ?. bargain as a white Yankee If there were more of them here, so as to make society amohg themselves; they would cheerfully take their places as servants in every dspartment of industry, and the preju- dice against their.colo^ would entirely disap- pear. TO correspondents; We are constantly receiving communica- tions without any name accompanying them. They usually go*! into the basket without reading. V;.:1 "?■ ■ It is'a great thing to be -a poet Few^are blest with tbe gift divine. Every clever young person can make rhymes, and hundreds mis take this for poetfy.^We sometimes insert very inferior jhyminJ out of respect to the feelings of those ki^juarted sentipientalists who write, under t^^impprehension that they are inspired.1 A young man who has sent r.s some excellent prose articles tried his hand at rhyming the other day, and utterly failed. ;A sweet girl sends us some lines On "My Sister," thfit won't do. at all. We are sorry to say it, butichild neyer mind, it is the same with three out of four pieces received, i Some of our correspondents who are afflic- ted'with the poetic 'frenzyt send us lines so SrATOtt^S LVMGtBAl.. ■ -4~c JgtilioW d"ntzEH8-f About to enter upon this duties which I have now ibeen-called upon to perform, by a vote of the people of the citj^of Elgin, cast at their -regular municipal election, I avail myself pf this opportunity of expressing the The im convinces ake is a zeal- ous dedication of my humble aSbilities to their service.' ■-} :.■].: . il' As the executive officer cr^ed by the Citj Charter, it dievolves upon n*et^o Bfee that the. ordinances and act« of thajj^r Council are faithfully carried into effed£|^KjghiQfc. J shall ever exert my best ability J tlere let me say to the City Council;, that if there are any ordinances on the statute, book of the city that they do not wi?h enforced, I would recommend their repeallat tile earliest practical opportunity. In myjhunlble opin- ion top much legfslation is an fevil; a statute with a Code of laws that wlll>til£8. li lifetime to understand, is oI but little use to the gov- erned. Therefore t would ejuggest to the City Council that they ordain as few- ordi- nances as is consistent With the public good. The financial 'affairs of the City are of ab sorbing interest, coming homejas they do to every tax payer of the City, and-in times like the present, when our, nationj is struggling for her vei y existence, and forced to call upon the tax payers of our devoted City to throw in their mite, it would seem jth it the City Council should be extremely cautious in its expenditures, and raise as little by direct taxation as is consistent with the welUbeing of the City.i I am informed tjfiat the -co n- man f^r^d of the city has been! merged into the school and street fund, or partially bo at least. This appears to mi not as. it should be f if I mistake not the charter provides j a way to raise funda for schoor?, also for streets alleys and bridges,1 and in, my ippinioif^ they should each stan-il^upon its[ own footing.— The tax payers of the City have a rignt .to know where and h->w th-jir money is dis- bursed, andUo what ac'cdunt'it is ibargeable There is nothing connected vjrith the city in magnitude Voo'lx.

While*ori this subject allow me to say that I see - in the streets of Elgin, children whom I have reason to believe never or at least very seldom, show their faces inside of a school house, Children that have parer ts who do not feel th!e importar.ee Of ah1 early education, or that have not silN ficient controlling influence over their sons and daughters to keep tWm at school.

Whatever tends to increase the accessibility to the city, has a direct tendency to increase its wealth and prosperity It is from the surrounding country that she derives most ofher subsist- ence and wealth, therefore I wbuld recom-- mend for yourj coniideration ihb laying1 out of a portion: o( the poll tax the present sea- son to improvfe said roaflsV I am informed that there has] been a fund raised to imp Ove jthe.bridge across Fox xivef within the^city, or to build st0ne piers and abutments for a new superetfrujoture, and I have also been in- formed that the previous Council'1 have made a contract with a Mr. Hvtritly of Batavia for stone for that purpose. If so it will devolve upon flie present Coiincil to devise and ma- ture some plan for the construction of said piers and superstructure, which I trust • the Council will do at its earliesf convenience.

If my words be too bold pr earnest, let them be attributed to my pre found j convic- tion that the American Union} is in Extreme peril, and that its downfall injvolves the final catastrophe of our Country aid of our race.

Let non} speak now of peace or compromise with ar ned .treason.— Let none think of constructin g separate nas tionalities out of the broken and bleeding fragmentjS of a dismembered Union.

We read in I a Hew York newspaper that at a Democratic' meeting, held in that city on Tuesday evenings *'hisses were given for Apraham Lincoln and cheers for South Car- olina." Abraham Lincoln is the President of the United- States, the choice, of the Ameri- can people, the chief man in the nation. South Carolina was the first state to make war upon' the Union. It has always been the home of treason and sedition, Ii is how arrayed against the Union1. :n unrelenting war. The patriot is hissed ; tta traitor state ? is cheered. And this is done at/a Democratic 'jmeeting.-sFtf/:nry'« /*/«».' 'J, , carried off' to 'isi morC than down by op- without mak- rt for liberty, lect the terri- scenes, that were enacted taore than thirty yeats ago, wheti the Poles made such |a. noble stand against the overw btiming farces c f Russia. ThCy fought: brately, but -were finally over* powered ' by the fearfhl odds against them; and they- bav-c been subject so this Czar, ever since. Over; their sad fate many a syiripa- thiting tear has been Shed. ; We could wish them abundant and glo* riotrtk success, but there is no hope. The power of Ruisla is too great for gallant little Poland to throw off Their c niy chance "was during the Crimean war. H id they struck then for liberty, they would have had pow erful allies; and the Northern ]3ear had aSmucb as he could attend to withhtt crushing a re hellion in Poland. A Fren ;h army would have found its way to their assistance, for Napoleon 19 not a man to stick at trifles, j Bdt the oppcrfunity is lout, and Can nev er probkbly be regained.
