TIE VOTE OF ILLINOIS.

The Sangomon (Sprngield) Journal of the 18th
inst, gives complete returns of the vote in all the
counties in Illinois at the late election The ag-
gregate vote of the State is about 81 900; of this
the Harrison vote is d., 2o2-the Van Buren, vote
is 4l ,S43-Van Buren, majority 1910.
Whilst willing TO admit that the late vote would
seem to indicate that Illinois should be placed in
the doubtful list of States, We, have The fullest
confidence that when the old veteran of the North
West shall take the field in November, that gallant
State will he with him. She will not separate
from Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.

BslTIsn Wines About sev enty of the survi
vors Of the war of Independence met at the State
House in Boston, on Thursday the 18th, certainly
for the last time when they gather on earth
Twelve Of them had been engaged in the battle of
June l7lh, 1775, on Bunker Hill: fifteen more
were beyond 90 years ofage: twelve others above
e5 years old: most of the remainder OF the nued
soldiers had passed eighty:
When the administration papers talk Of British
Wings, they bes,ow the appeaon on those brave
and venerable men who met the English on tho
battle fields OF our country, and wrested from the m
the price Of Independence. The terms are meant
10 be grossly Insulting, and if they fail of exciting
any painful feeling, il Is not from any want Of dis.
position on the part of those who use them.
