SliirThe Democrats of Illinuis'ltve elected
thirty-seven DemoCrats, the Republicans thir
ty-one, and the Americana six Monibers 'to the
Mdse. of Representatives. The Senate is
Democratic by
,one majority. There is an
idea 'prefralent that a U.S. Senater'is to be
elected by this Legislature.---This is a mis
take: No electron' will take 'place for two
years to come, but there was a struggle toget
the Senate, with reference tailie'riaxt elec
tion, and this has terminated in favor of the
Demoerats. A good, many Senators .in

have control of the Senate.

choke in the utterance; whilst the notorious
Parson Beecher, and a host of minor hypo
elites, wore ambitious and ever ready to pros•
titute their pulpits, by the most_ bitter, malig
nant and blood-thirsty denunciations and
throats. It has been' the habit of the oppo

very centre of civilization, not fifty miles dis

of outrages, 'unparalleled in the history of any
country. And yet this unprincipled press has

away from the polls is a good jest, and the
shedding of Democratic blood is material for
laughter.
Thus also in cur own .county. When the
reins of authority passed from their unwilling
hands at the October election, the intellect of

again give them the ascendancy, and forthwith

Presidential Elections.
It is asserted that no successful candidate
for the Presidency ever received so few votes
as Buchanan, nor no unsuccessful one so ma
ny as Fremont. Those who make the asser
tion can be enlightened on this subject by
studying the following: •

nLOe speeches on the occasion. The ~S:pirit
says, in reference to the eunduct of the oppu
sition :
"We regret to be compelled to notice the
Misconduct of our opponents, which _was too
grubs to be passed over in silence. From its
start till its dispersion, the procession was
pelted with stones. Most of the transparen
cies were completely riddled, and one aged
genileman Cllr. Simmers, of this place,) was
knocked flown by a stone thrown into the
crowd when the procession halted at Mr.
Ile was .severely injured, and nar
rowly escaped losing an eye. It is within
bounds to say that two hundred stones were
thrown at the' procession. It is wonderful
how patiently this ruffianism was borne. The
Democrats could have torn their persecutors
limb from limb, but like - a giant proudly con
scious of his strength the procession moved on,
without deigning to notice the degraded scoun
drels who assailed it."
serThe following is commended to the
prayerful attention of the saint who denounc
es the Democratic party as a "gang of CUT
THROATS!" There's christian resignation
in it—which the editor of the Slar would do
well by imitating. His manners would be
thereby improved:

paper, of the pith, notices the defeat Of his
party in the following style :

MR. 3rlorron :—1 take great pleasure in-an
nouncing- to the whole world and . the mt of
mankind, that the "Young, Guard" has given
a majority for, the Democratic ticket, after so
much drututning up of Premouth.ui to regain
her. It is, lam quite sure, sorely 'Vexations
to the souls of those who so eagerly sought the
election of the opposite candidate. Bat the
deed is done, and it can't now be helped.—
grcat speeches couldn't avert the catas
trophe. Conic it would—and a perfect ava
lanche it is to the Fremonters and Know Noth
ings of the county. Not only was their de
clamation lost to the party, but the lung and
multitudinous denunciations of the Star and
Sratinel, have utterly tailed to haVe the desir
ed effect. The'Star anti Sentinel of all things
else in the county, have need to clothe them
selv-e,s in sackcloth and ashes ; for they called
loudly for the people to conic up to their help
against the mighty, but they heeded not their
dolorous invocations. Verily, these papers
ought,to mourn ninety days fur the disobedi
ence of its people.
In nearly all the towns in the county the
Democrats had a grand march and parade
in honor of the occasion. They had flags
floating to UM breeze, and upon one occasion,
was inscribed upon a large flag and in large
letters, ,,, Frelizontyoue op Mill River." That's
so. The drum and other instruments of music
afforded an interesting item of the procession.
Hurrah fur the Democracy—them's the boys.
MAGNET.
Senhe Star says the Democratic party is
a "gang of OUT-THROATS." We propose
an analogous question : lf, for instance, the
Democrats r.f Baltimore are cut-throats, what
are the Know Nothings of that city who drove
the Democrats away from the polls, and in
carrying out their desperately wicked pur
poses and frauds, resorted even to the com
mission of the crime of MURDER? More
than likely Me Star would pronoUnce these
