In Sangamon county, Illinois, great interest
seems to be felt, previous to the election, in
the canvass for Probate Justice of the Peace.
Gen: JAS. ADAMS, one Of the oldest citizens
of the county, was the Van Buren, candidate,
and DR.. A. G. HENRY, the Wing candidate.
Charges, the most outrageous, were brought
against the old General but on the election
day, the slanderers were rebuked, by giving
him majority of upwards Of three hundred
votes. Heretofore the Wing majority has been
about 400. This is not claimed as party VIC
tory, but triumph of virtue over foul SANDER.

'sIhc Dubuque News, in the absence of the senior
editor, with like credulitv, catches at this reply
and swallows it al.'' Well, we can pardon Gen
hBlack Hawk and Mr.. Gregg for this, for they were
|not aware of the absenceof the senior editor; but
MIR. Register, never forgive those who hoaxed yau
---they took the advantage got the SENIOR
editor into the buck-woods---beg your pardon, City
Of Catteese---where after sitting patiently in the
hall, and listening to his Grafton, his patriot
ism was so great that he concluded that he smet
Indians, and was of course, easily persuaded that
':Indians were about,'' and they were so charmed
with the eloquence of the orator, it was determine
ed that he must be the writer to proclaim this
sshighly importan,'' news and tragh,way twas
done.
A few evenings since, stepping into the Office un-
perceived, found our sDevil,' who is always
prying into some mischief, descantng upon Indi-

Catteese, might be induced to raise the cry of In-
dians! Indians about!!'when we, enraged, stamp'd
our foot upon the floor, and in q moment he was
among the missing. He made all straight agai,
by acknowledging that he little too fast, and
, saying he believed we could not be bribed-----to
tell an Indian story that we nor no one else believed
