Eqr- We are informed that our talented
young friend, REV. JOHN D. BROWN, preached
an excellent sermon, in the Methodist Church,
on Sunday morning last, to a large and re
spectable audience. We hope he may be
successful in his good undertaking, and be
the instrument in the hands of God, of bring
ing many souls to repentance. May his mis
sion on earth be long and profitable, both to
himself and the church to which he belongs.
Ssow.—Last Sunday. night, we had quite
a fall of snow. Monday morning, on arising
from our bed, we were no little surprised
when we beheld about two inches of as pure
white snow as we ever saw. By evening,
however, there was nothing of it to be seen,
except a. spot here and there. At present
writing, (Tuesday morning,) the weather is
raw and cold, and the clouds present every
appearance of more snow.
TITANKSGIVING.—To-morrow is the day set
apart by the Governor, as a day of praise
and thanksgiving to God. We hope our
merchants, mechanics, and business men gen
erally, will suspend operations on that day,
and unite in offering up thanks to Him who
has and still watches over us during the many
trials and temptations which daily occur to
us all. We learn that the different congre
gations of this.place, propose holding a Union
Meeting in the Presbyterian Church, which
all are respectfully invited to attend. Ser
vices to commence at the second ringing of
the bell.
Legal Tender.
Some people are at a loss to know what is
a legal tender of money. Most persons are
greatly in error in supposing that cents are
a legal tender for any amount, and some
times captious people make large payments
in copper coin, which creditors suppose they
are obliged to receive—from the fact that it
is coined at the mint and bears the impress
of the United States upon it. From the fol
lowing, which is a synopsis of the act of
Congress upon the subject, it will be seen
what is and what is not a legal tender. The
law regulating the payment of debts with
coin provides that the following coin be legal
tender :
1. All gold coin at their respective values
for debts of any amount.
2. The half dollar, quarter dollar, half
dime and quarter dime, at their respective
values for debts of any amount under five
dollars.
3. Three cent pieces for debts of any
amount under thirty cents; and
4. By the law passed at the last session of
Congress, we may add, one cent pieces for
any amount under ten cents.
By the laws of Congress passed some four
or five years ago, gold was made the legal
tender for large amounts. Those who, to get
rid of large quantities of cents and small
coin, sometimes pay their bills with it, to the
annoyance ef the creditor, will perceive that
there is a stoppage to that antic by the law.
LOOK 01:T.—Look out for a well gotten up
gold dollar, of the "bogus kind," the result
of an ingenious crew of counterfeiters,
Nothing but a strong acid will show the de
ceit. There are also " heaps "of counterfeit
halves and quarters in circulation. These
are so well made as to deceive the bestjudges.
These coins are new and bright, and there is
some grounds of suspicion that the mint is
not far off.—/larrisbury Telegraph.
There is strong grounds of suspicion that
men engaged in the circulation of all kinds
of " bogus" money are not strangers in this
neighborhood.
FIVE MEN POISONED jr DRINKING BITTERS.
—Five men were poisoned in Cincinnati, on
Sunday night, by drinking whiskey with
roots in it. One of the party, named John
T. Chester, was conveyed to his residence on
Madison street, between plum and elm, where,
after great suffering, he shortly died. The
rest of the party four in number, found re
lief in the antidotes administered. The roots,
of which the physicians have no knowledge,
were purchased two weeks ago from a root
ped le r.
KS! BLANKS!
The Republican Tariff
Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, in a
speech recently delivered, tells the whole
story how the Tariff of 1857 was passed, who
did it and for what purpose ; how they of
New England had struggled to enlarge the
FREE LIST and deplete the Treasury.—
Read the following extract from his speech :
" The session that closed on the 4th of
March, 1857, was mainly devoted nY us OF
NEW ENGLAND and a portion of the country,
to a modification of the Revenue laws. The
manufacturers of New England, the mer
chants of Boston, New York and Philadel
phia, by letter and by their personal pres
ence in Washington, implored us, in the
Congress of the United States, to modify the
tariff before we adjourned on the 4th of
March ; and, gentlemen, for sixty days I
gave to that effort to change or modify the
tariff, my days and my nights. I went to
the men who represent the sheep-growing
regions of our country—they were mostly
Republicans; they did not like to yield up
the duty upon wool. We used all our pow
ers of persuasion to induce them to consent
to a reduction of the duty on wool, so that
we in New England might set our machinery
at work in our woolen mills—machinery that
had long been silent and unused. I think
that those sixty days of labor of mine, were
never surpassed by the labor in anything ex
cept to place Charles Sumner in the Senate,
and N. P. Banks in the Speaker's chair. I
think, gentlemen, these labors were not with
out some little influence with my personal
and political associates ; at any rate, I had
the warm and generous thanks of men in
New England and men in New York, for the
labor I had performed in thus attempting to
secure a, modification of the tariff, so as to
protect the interests of our section of the
country. Our object was to reduce the duty
upon wool, and to enlarge the free list, and
thus save eight or ten millions of dollars that
came to us in the real form of taxation, and
admit many articles used in our manufac
tures, duty free, and thus indirectly aid the
manufacturing interests of Massachusetts
and of the country. We passed such a bill
through the House, and it came to the Sen
ate ; there it met the stern resistance of men
who wanted to make a reduction equally
upon all articles, whether they came in com
petition with our industry or not. We
passed through the Senate an amendment to
that bill, and we sustained it because it was
the best we could obtain. We sustained the
tariff to deplete the Treasury, to protect and
and encourage the productive industry of
the country. The tariff men in Congress,
with the exception of a few gentlemen from
the wool-growing sections, and from Pennsyl
vania, gave their sanction to the Act of 1857.
Let it be remembered then, that Speaker
Banks and Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts,
and Lewis D. Campbell, of Ohio, were the
leading men who are responsible for the
tariff of 1857; and if it be the tariff that has
contributed to the panic and hard times, we
ask again if the Black Republicans are not
the proper party to hold responsible, and
whether the people who have been led to be
lieve otherwise, have not been deceived.
- ,tt - 'Some of the Republican papers scold
their brethren in Illinois for opposing Judge
Douglas. The Boston Traveller, a highly
respectable Republican journal, says:
Unfortunately, some of the Illinois Repub
licans could not be induced to share the sen
timent that prevailed among their brethren
in other States. They not only resolved that
Mr. Douglas should be sacrificed, but they de
nounced the language and the action of other
Republicans, characterizing them as improp
er interference in the local affairs of Illinois
as if the election of a national Senator could
be a purely local affair, and as if the nation
could have no interest in a course of policy
that was sure, largely to affect the decision
of the next Presidential campaign ! The
opposition in other States, having done its
duty to the best of its ability, then gave
away, and the Illinois Republicans were al
lowed to settle the matter after their own
fashion, without being troubled with the sug
gestion of people in New York and New
England. And a. very fine settlement they
have made of it! They have been beaten
on their own field, fighting the ' battle after
their own fashion, and so have contributed to
the Democratic cause the only victory it has
won in the North in 1858. Such is the con
sequence of their plan having been adopted.
We do not think any worse could have hap
pened if those "impertinent" outsiders had
been listened to, and their advice heeded.—
What renders the result all the more shameful
is the fact that Republicans acted with the
handful of Democrats who adhered to the
Administration, and were, we are informed,
instrumental in having Douglas men removed
from national offices, thus becoming the tools
of that very " slave power" which they are
so fond of denouncing. Merely to gratify
personal and political hatred, it was deter
mined to break Mr. Douglas down, though in
so doing the " slave power" was to be built
up anew. What the full effect of this most
unwise action is to be, who shall say ? But
this can be said, that the Illinois Republicans
compelled their party in the nation to throw
aside the certainty of success in ISGO, and to
return to the wilderness, where they may
wander for forty years to come, if not forever.
Parties, like individuals, have their golden
moments ; but if they neglect to improve
them, those moments rarely return. All that
now can be said, is, that the future, which it
was in the power of the Republicans to order,
must be controlled by the Democracy. The
latter may behave as foolishly as some of their
enemies have behaved; but this it would not he
safe to count upon, for their course is invaria
bly shrewd when Presidential elections are to
be decided. They are then wise as serpents,
and destructive as eagles.
The fact is, Mr. Douglas, is defeating his
opponents in Illinois, has struck a blow at
dangerous doctrines everywhere, and it is a
matter of rejoicing that his victory is ap
plauded, for many reasons, by many men of
every party.
FATAL EFFECTS OF INITALING OF COFFEE.-
On Wednesday last, a son of George Cash
el], of Ware, Connecticut, four years old,
went into a neighbor's house, and on the
stove was a coffee-pot ; he put his mouth to
it and inhaled the steam ; it burned his
mouth, and, for a few hours he seemed to
breathe like one having a hard cold. In
the evening he grew worse, and died at three
o'clock the same night. The affection of the
child appeared just like the croup, and
seemed to disturb the child in the same man
ner on the lungs.
A Fearless Judge.
Some time since a gang of thieves frbm
the city of Baltimore, committed a robbery
and other outrages in the adjoining county
of Harford. They were arrested, but asked
for a change of trial to Cecil county, upon
the plea that they could not be fairly tried
in Harford. The request was granted, and
last week the trial took place which resulted
in their conviction. The Elkton Democrat
states that on passing sentence Judge Price
addressed the prisoners, four in number, as
follows :
" You have been found guilty, by a, jury of
your country, of two high offenses against the
laws of the land, and the peace and good or
der of the State, viz : burglary and larceny.
You banded yourselves together for crime,
for robbery and plunder. You deliberately
arranged and fitted out, in the city of Balti
more, an expedition to the country for that
purpose ; and did, at the dead hour of night,
attack, rob and plunder the retired and peace
ful abode of Mr. Murphy, a worthy and un
offending citizen of Harford county. For
these offenses it is necessary that you should
be punished, and will be punished, not only
because you deserve it, but, also, as a warn
ing to others.
I regret that I feel myself obliged, by the
duty I owe to the community, to speak to you
thus, and to impose upon you a sentence
which, no doubt, you will regard, and per
haps ninny others, as unduly severe. But
the time has come when, I think, forbear
ance to such as you are ceases to be a virtue ;
when example must be made ; when exempla
ry punishment must be resorted to, at least in
cases of notorious characters and habitual
offenders. And I do not believe that more
deserving subjects for exemplary punishment
can he found than you are. Although young
in years, you have the common reputation of
being, what I have no doubt you are, old in
crime ; habitually idle, vicious and crimi
nal ; living, not as God intends man should
live, by the sweat of his brow, but in idle
ness and vice, and by plundering the hard
earnings of the honest and industrious; thus
defying the laws of God and man. In other
words, I have no doubt you are, and have
been for years, common thieves, common
rogues and robbers, and banded together for
that purpose. Besides this, the frequent in
stances in our community of just such crimes
as you have committed, and the rapid in
crease of crime generally in our country,
admonish us all that the criminal law of the
land must now be administered with a strong
hand, and such criminals as you, are made
to feel its power. Obedience to the laws must
be enforced. Life and property, man's
home and fireside, must and shall be protect
ed.
The judgement of the Court is, that for
the offences of which you have been convic
ted, you he sent to the penitentiary and
confined therein, for fourteen years and six
months."
Judge Price deserves the thanks of every
honest man for the fearless manner in which
he has discharged his duty. Let ruffianism
meet its due reward in all courts of justice,
and we will not so frequently be called
upon to record the blackest crimes known to
our laws.
We hope the above remarks by the Judge,
on passing sentence, may be read by quite a
large number of young and middle aged men
in this immediate neighborhood—and that
they may take warning -and keep out of the
hands of the criminal law, for we feel very
sure that on the first opportunity offered, Judge
TAYLOR will give them a lesson they will
never forget. Their conduct demands a se
vere punishment.
The Grand Result
[From the Chicago Times, Nov. 5.]
The groat battle has been fought. The
last struggle for kingly power has taken
place, and Victory in all her brightest
plumes has perched upon the banners of the
people.
* ic- * * * *
Ile (Douglas) was not allowed to fight the
uneven contest with Republicanism alone.—
To the aid of the latter organization, with its
boasted majority of twenty thousand in the
State, there was cast loose upon him a pack
of mercenary troops—men unconscious of an
honest thought, untroubled by a conscientous
emotion, and utterly lost to all the principles
of gentlemen. These men, by themselves,
would have been powerless;_ but they were
known as the agents of the Sidells, Brights,
Cobbs, and other Presidential aspirants; their
acts received importance because they were
endorsed and approved through the columns
of the paper at Washington, controlled by
the peculators upon the public treasury. To
these men was given the power to say who
should, and who should not hold federal of
fice in Illinois ; to these men was given the
power to remove faithful Democrats and ap
point such men as a few dollars would cor
rupt.
Against the allied hosts of Republicans,
and the agents and employees of the Feder
al Government, Stephen A. Douglas has ap
pealed to the people of Illinois—proud, glori
ous, Democratic Illinois! He has appealed
to them to vindicate their State from the
threatened invasion of negro equality, and he
has appealed to them to vindicate the "Inde
pendence of the People's Representative."
The appeal has been heard. From the Mis
sissippi to the Wabash ; from Cairo to Chica
go; from the cirumference to the centre there
has been a response. What that response is,
we have indicated in the heading to this ar
ticle. Illinois has sustained Douglas. 'llli
nois has elected a Democratic majority in the
Legislature larger than it has been for many
years. Illinois has re-elected Harris and
Morris, and has elected Fouke, Logan, and
Robinson, all Democrats and fellow-champi
ons with Douglas, of the principles of the
Democratic party. The majority of twenty
thousand against the Democratic party in
1850, has been swept away, and Foiidey and
French, the regular nominees of that party,
have been triumphantly elected.
It has been said, and with truth, indeed it
has been constantly thrown into the face of
Douglas, that there is no instance in the his
tory of the country where any member of the
Democratic party has dared to act indepen
dently of the dictation of an existing Ad
ministration, and not be crushed. It was
high time, if such were the fact, that there
should be a precedent of the independence of
the people's Representative from executive
dictation. Illinois has the honor of adding
to her glorious Democratic history the fact
that she has vindicated her Representative
in daring to defend Democratic truth, no mat
ter by whom it was assailed. She has told
the people of other States, that her people
are Democrats, not because of love for office,
but because they love the principles of the
party. Offices cannot bribe them, nor can
the frowns of power terrify them. They have
neither asked nor cared who wished Douglas'
defeat; they knew him to be right, they
knew him as the champion of Democracy
who could not be frightened nor seduced
from the true principles of constitutional lib
erty, and they have rallied around him as
they would rally around a menaced brother,
and by their votes they have vindicated him
before the world.
The champion of popular sovereignty has
evinced his confidence in his own great prin
ple by placing his interests in the hands of the
people ; and the people have proved the in
estimable value of the great principle by
electing him in defiance of all the power ar
rayed against him.
All honor to Illinois ! All honor to her
favorite son ! Illinois sends greeting to the
world the glorious news of the TRIU3IPII. or
DOUGLAS !
'5:
Decisions by the Common School De
partment.
In the October number of the School Jour
nal, we find the following decisions by the
Superintendent of common Schools, which
we particularly commend to the attention of
School Directors in our county, and all others
interested in our public system of educa
tion :
Election, for Teachers.—The practice of
permitting a formal election for teachers, by
the people of the neighborhood, is not author
ized. by the schol law, and is productive of
heart burnings and dissensions, that greatly
interfere with the prosperity of the school.
Directors should not thus shrink from the re
sponsible duty which the law devolves upon
them. They should employ none but com
petent teachers, if it be possible to procure
such ; and it is right to respect the wishes of
the patrons of the school, so far as not to
force an obnoxious teacher upon them. It is
also proper, when possible, to engage the
teacher of heir choice, if he be competent
for the school to which he is assigned. But
directors can readily determine the merits of
cases of this kind, without the formality of
an election by a promiscuous meeting ; and
under ordinary circumstances, this would be
unnecessary. In no case should directors
resort to such an expedient, to get rid of
their own responsibility. They should listen
respectfully to objections, and hear the state
ments of the parties, but should decide for
themselves, and fearlessly select the best
teachers they can get.
Delinquent Distracts.—in a number of dis
tricts, directors designedly administer the
system so as to make it more unpopular, and
cripple the schools ; and in others, they per
sist in evadinc , the law, by the employment
of unlicenseeteachers, as well as in other
particulars. Superintendents are required
to report all such cases to the Department ;
and notice is now given, that in every such
instance, the Board will be held to a literal
compliance with the terms of the school law,
and in ease of failure, the State,appropria
-
tion will' be' withheld. The warrants for the
State appropriation will not be issued until
the State Superintendent has satisfactory evi
dence that the directors have endeavored to
perform their whole duty in good faith, and
to the best of their ability and the circum
stances of the district.
Important Land Warrant Decision
The following decision of the Attorney
General of the United States, upon the prop
er construction of the Act of June 3d, 1858,
may be of interest to some of our rgaders,
and we publish it for their information.
The Attorney-General has, at the request
of the Secretary of the Interior, given an
opinion in reference to the proper construc
tion of the Act of June 3d, 1858, which pro
vides that the title to a land warrant, issued
after the death of a person who applied for
it according to the prescribed forms, "shall
rest in the widow, if there be one ; and, if
there be no widow, then in the heirs and
legatees of the claimants."
It is held by the Attorney General, that
the heirs of a man are those persons "who
are entitled by the lex rei situs to take his in
heritable real estate at the time of his death.
His legatees are those to whom he has be
queathed his personal property by will.—
Heirs sometimes means children, in common
parlance, and the word is so to be understood
in a statute, when the context shows that in
tention to have been in the mind of the Le
gislature. But I am not aware that any
reason exists here for taking it in a sense
different from that in which it is usually and
properly accepted. This Act of Congress,
then, vests the land in the persons to whom
the claimant may have left it by will ; and
if he died intestate, then it goes to his heirs
—that is, to the persons who are entitled to
to claim his real estate by the intestate laws.
"I do not see anything in the general poli
cy of the previous laws which would justify
us in giving the Act of 1858 a construction
not warranted by its plain words. It is
true that all the Acts on the same subject are
to be construed together as in pari materia ;
but where the words of a later Act differ
from those of an older one, the later Act
must prevail, and give the rule, in all cases
to which it applies."
The Attorney General, accordingly, draws
the following conclusions : Ist, that a war
rant issued after the death of a claimant,
who left a widow and children, enures to the
widow s benefit alone; 2d, when the deceased
claimant has a widow, with two sets of chil
dren, the warrant enures to the benefit of
her heirs or legatees ; 3d, heirs aro those who
are so declared by the law of the claimant's
domicil.
3The Brownsville Flag, of the 27th ult.,
reports the following terrible massacre as one
of the results of the intestine war in' Mexico.
"In the engagment between the reactionist
forces, commanded by Miramon and those of
Vidaurri, 400 of the latter's men were cap
tured by the former, who, after seeing them
disarmed, and taking from them their most
valuable equipments, ordered his second in
command to take them from his sight and do
with them as he thought fit. This unhuman
wretch, who well knew what would ensue
from such a course, placed them in the hands
of his soldiery, who were just then in a beast
ly state of intoxication. They immediately
fell upon the captives, who were entirely de
fenceless, and a horrible massacre followed.
At the end of the terrible scene, the lifeless
bodies of four hundred human beings were
found stretched upon the ground, mangled
and weltering in their blood."

The English. Laborer
According to some of the British journals,
the condition of a large portion of the Eng
lish laborers is truly deplorable. They can
with great difficulty earn the means of sub
sistence, while their social comforts are few
and far between. Various efforts have been
made to produce a change, but thus far with
little success. The Northern Times, pub
lished at Liverpool, takes the subject in de
tail, and in the course of a sympathetic article
says:—
"We boast of our abhorrence of negro sla
very; we romance, we moralize, and we ac
tually weep over the tales of African suffer
ing, but we cannot afford a passing thought
for the millions of white slaves who consti
tute the masses of our laboring population.
What are these in reality but mere animated
machines ! employed only because it has not
been possible as yet to discover others to
supercede them. As their employment has
been the result of necessity, and not of choice,
the great object of the employer has been to
tax the physical endurance of the employ
ed to its utmost limits, and reduce the rate
of remuneration, to the lowest minimum.—
Unfortunately, the fierce competition of trade,
and the unusually overcrowded state of the
labor market, combine to render this state of
things apparently inevitable.
" This is, indeed, a lamentable picture ;
but the case is similar, we fear, to a very
considerable extent, in other portions of the
world, and even in this country. There are
few among the laboring classes, however,
economical and industrious, who even secure
more than a living for themselves and fami
lies. There lot is one of excessive toil.—
Those who are skilled in some particular art
or craft can of course do better. But the
mere laborer, even in his best condition, has
a hard task before him. There is, morever,
too little sympathy felt for this particular class.
Their wants, their enjoyments, their recrea
tions, are rarely considered. They are re
garded as mere hewers of wood and drawers
of water, and are treated accordingly. How
rarely, indeed, do we hear of any movement
intended to elevate the social condition or ex
tend the social enjoyments of the merely
working classes! Every philanthropy seems
to look upon them with indifference or con
tempt. But this should not be. There is a
season for all things—and due consideration
should be felt for every member of the human
family.'

Sudge Douglas
[From the Bedford Gazette, LecomptonJ
Whatever may be the relations which Judgd
Douglas sustains toward the Democratic par
ty of the nation, one thing is certain—he has
unhorsed the chosen champion of Black Re
publicanism in Illinois, and robbed the Op ,
position of a triumph which they confidently
and fondly anticipated ; and Whatever good,
or ill, his re-election to the U. S. Senate, may
bring to the Democracy, it is not to be de
nied that his success has demoralized the
Black Republican organization in - Illinois,
and has laid on the shelf one of the most
talented and untiring of its leaders. When
at the beginning of the last session of Con ,
gress, Judge Douglas opposed the Kansasi
policy of President Buchanan, the Black Re- ,
publicans were loud in their praises of his
independence, and literally bedizened MO
name with -their glittering laudations. Of
late, however, they have acquired a distaste
for his "independence," and they now begin
to think that Douglas isn't so patriotic after
all. 'What a pity that they have been corn- .
polled to change their opinion of the " Little
Giant," and how sad that they should have
been defeated by the very man they fain
would have received into their organization
Alas ! and alack ! and a well-a-day !
[From the Lyeeming Gazette, Anti-Lecompton.]
In the midst of a succession of Republican
victories, a gleam of Democratic sunshine
reaches us from Illinois. We rejoice with
exceeding great joy that we are able to chron
icle the complete triumph of Senator Doug
las. A Democratic majority has been se
cured in both branches of the Legislature of
his State, and his re-election to the Senate
thus rendered certain. That gallant Demo
cratic champion has had many hard battles
to fight in the political field; but none before
equalled that just fought and won. He has
done wonders, and deserves the reward in
store for him. For months past he has been
continually upon the stump, doing battle with
opponents of all sorts upon all sides, fairly
cutting his way through them, and carrying
the people with him. Such a contest anti
such a victory do not occur often. The eyes
of the whole nation were turned to it, leav
ing other States comparatively unheeded. To
gain a victory for Democracy, under such cir
cumstances, should cause every Democrat to
rejoice, and we have no doubt every one does
rejoice.
[From the Carlisle Democrat, Lecompton.]
In Illinois, the contest was extraordinarily
animated—perhaps more so than any that
has ever occurred in that or any other State.
The struggle was mainly on the Legislative
ticket between Messrs. Douglas and Lincoln
for the U. S. Senatorship—a large majority
of the Democrats supporting Mr. Douglas,
and the Republicans favoring the election of
Mr. Lincoln, whilst a small portion of the
Democrats opposed Mr. Douglas, and advoca
ted the election to the Senate of a friend of
the Administration policy on the Kansas ques
tion. In this struggle Judge. Douglas has
been victorious—having carried a majority
in both branches of the Legislature, which
secures his re-election to the U. S. Senate:—
Th esuccess of Judge Douglas, under the cir
cumstances, is an achievement which few,
at the outset anticipated, and can only be at
tributable to his indomitable courage and un
ceasing labor on the stump. He was op
posed, not only by that portion of the Demo
cratic party which sanctioned the views of
President Buchanan on the Lecompton ques
tion, sustained by all the aid the Adminis
tration could give, but also by the entire Re
publican party.
,The Congressional delega
tion elected is composed of five Douglas Dem
ocrats and four Repulicans.
[From the Cambria Mountaineer, A nti-Lecompton.]
The struggle in Illinois was watched by
the people of the United States with an in
tensity which knew no waning. From the
moment that Douglas commenced the can
vass, to the time when the returns flashed
over the electric wires that Douglas was tri
umphant, the interest did not abate one sec
ond. It was not merely the election of Doug
las which was at stake, but the election of
President in 1860 was involved. Had Illinois
failed, the
_prestige would have been against
the Democracy in the nest canvass. An or
dinary man would have given away under
the•odds with which Douglas had to contend;
the Know Nothings and Republicans dead
against him, many of his own party, to say
the least, lukewarm. Douglas had only the
justness of his cause, his own purity of pur
pose, his own eloquence. As a mighty ava
lanche comes thundering, tearing down from
the mountains carrying everything before it,
so did the eloquence of Douglas carry the
hearts and the votes of the people of Illinois.
His canvass was a triumphal march. Other
men circumstanced as he was, would proba
bly have showed a leaning towards Republi
cans and Americans to have gotten their
votes, but Douglas, with a boldness charac
teristic of him alone, bearded the very lions
in their den. In the veriest hot bed of abo
litionism, he fearlessly proclaimed the same
doctrines of Democracy, which are current
in South Carolina. In no case did he even
momentarily favor the heresies of the oppo
sition.
In the history of politics in the United
States, there has never been such a campaign.
The success of Douglas has done much to
assuage the bitterness of feeling in the De
mocracy, which their recent defeat has caused.
Illinois is the dawning light to glorious vic
tory of Democracy in 1860.
France and England.
The London correspondent of the N. l:
Tinzes,states that there is unmistakable symp
toms of a "growing chillness between the
governments of France and England."—
France is using her influence with the Latin
Christians in Turkey, under the pretext of
religion, to strengthen her political hold upon
the country. She is imitating Russia, whose
interference in behalf of the Greek Church
led to the Crimean War. Suspicion is being
entertained in England that France has her
self designs upon Turkey, and that her con
quest of the country is almost as much to be
feared as that of Russia, with which Cabinet,
it is believed, she is in collusion. It will be
recollected she sided with Russia, in all the
questions that arose relative to the Moldavian
Principalities. Her summary treatment of
Portugal, the ally of England, by sending a
a fleet to coerce that power for her condemna
tion of a. French slaver, also awakened un
easiness in the British Cabinet. The last ar
rival from England states that great indigna
tion is felt in that country at Portugal being
obliged to succumb to the French dictation.
Threatening articles are appearing in the
English press. Something will have to be
done, or the entente cordiale between the two
powers will be broken.
