THE ILLINOIS OPPOSITION, Spectal Diapateh to The Chicaan Trivune. Broivarierp, Aug, 27.—The Couvontion yes- torday was, takon all in all, o romarkable aseom- blage. It wns agathering of tho braing of tho old Democratie party, met for the purposo of ro- volting againgt tho old and somewhat superannu- ated chiefs, who have for twenty yoars regularly takon possession of tho Btato Conventions and, oblivious of tho progress of events, have sougnt to porpetunto thetr own ascondancy, and to pro- sorvo their own consistoncy. Tho bano of tho Domocratic party has beon for many years its ex-mombers of Congreus, and tho cowardly mea who aro In Congross, Tho one class insist that things slall bo as thoy were in thoir day ; the ottior opposo prograss or any chango lost it may Intorfere mith their chances. At tho Convoution yosterday thosomen were all present. Marshall, Richardson, Crebs, Allon, Robingon, Edon, and Rico, and all, while acknowledging that deprociated paper monoy was & curse, and all swearing that they were for hard money, woro too pusillanimona to say what they thought, SBomo of those men wero in Congross and voted for groenbacks : and they rofer to this fact and confidently ask, What position will I bein it the party now ro- Jjoct the papor form of mouey, and FD back to coin 2" Col. Richardsou insists that it is an in- sult to him, and, winle he would fayor hard mon- oy 88 av original proposition, ho WOULD SOT BUNMIT TO BE INSULTED, Hence ho waa for paying bouda in paper, Crebs told tho Convention that all the bonds were, by their expross terms, payablo in gold, excopt about 200,000,000, and thoso, whon taken up by new bonds, would be in the samo condition, Ho said thero was bat little robm to doubt tuat all the bonds would bo Bn)‘flblo in gotd. &till, ho would not go back on the old lendors by enying 80. Josh Allen insisted that ho bad opposed in Congresa tho contract to pay gold, and he thought the Democracy should stand by him. ‘Phese men havo boen a8 inillstones around the neoks of the Democratio party in Iiinois foryoars, and on Wodnesday the strugglo was whethor they should bo thrown overbonrd or not, The younger and rising mon rasolved to do o, They united in an invitation to all who wanted an honoust decluration of honest principles to meot with them, and the result was the grand victory accomplished. The whole groeuback and national paper-money policy of tha party was ropudiated ; upon it wes stumped the brand of reprobation, and an open doclaration made thiat o more paper bo issued ; that the present paver be made equal to coin, and that the na- tionn) dobt bo pmd in the only money knowa to the civilizod world. % Itis but just to say that Mr. Morrison, tho Domocratic member of Congress from the Mou- roe Distriet, was foromost in the Sght for the 3 NEW POLICY ; i this ho was wustaiued by Gov, Palmor, and by A acore of Democratic editors who have passail ‘beyond the servitudo of acting as morae personal organy for mombers of Congress, At Inst tho Dounocratio pross of tho Htate is emancipated, and 18 no longor the more echo of the {{onorabla Yoms, Dioks, and Harrys, 'Tho power o long held by theso old lenders was not rolinquishod without a struggle, but scores of dologates who hed voted agnnst tho change of policy folt Inex- pressibly relieved when the doug was ovor, and {fraukly “rojoicod that at last thoy stood on tho hu,ngn_:h o rock of truth snd honesty. Pho victory within the Dumocratio party was aided by the Liberal elomont that was called 1. ‘Tbie element, in abandoning tha Republican party, sot out with the purpose of uniting only with such persons s would agre to bold and manly deolaration that the national finances shall be romaved from the flold of specnlation ; thot tho national currency shall be given a per- manent instoad of a fluctuating value ; and that the national crodit shall have thet stability which Is only possible when that gredit is moas- ured hi tho standard recoguized by tho world, ‘Wit this viow tboy mot at Bpringflold yesto: day, and, combiniug with the progrossivo, ear- et Democtats who look to the present aud tho future, bevo cut looso from tho pant, zud to- gether thoy laid tho foundation broad aud doop fora & NATIONAL POLITICAL ONGANIZATION, which, in 1876, will ln?onl to tho whols peopla in favor of the restoration of credit, publiy and private, to the standard of colu, and banish for~ ever from the vocabulary of American politics tho fnfamous tern Repudiation, The victory a8 no urdlnnr‘y ono. At the samo time und on ‘tho samo dny, tho Republicuu party in Michigan and tho Domocratio parby in Ohlo, aduorin; to the bollef that the poople were dishonast, and must naturally indorso it, declared in favor of perpetuatiug tho dopreciated curroncy, of por- petuating tho gambllug in tho national credit, aud in favor of ropudiating tho contracts made with the national creditore. How honorablo doow tho racord of tho s,:rhmnem Couvantion appear whon contrastod with those made by tho Conveutlons in Michigeu aud Ohio, In Iilivowy thero is shown a confidenco in the INTELLIGENGE AND INTEGRITY OF TIIE PEOPLE, whilo tho Michigan and Obio Convontions us- sumo that the pooplo are dishonost and will mux. port that party whiok will bo foremost in repudi- ating the publigidebt.
