ELEUTIoNs IN ILLINOIS, INDIANA, &c.
The elections in Illinois were held on
The lst instant. The counties are not
all heard from; but judging from the news
we have, we think the democrats have
elected Mr.. Ford, their candidate for
Governor, by a large majority, and ma.
Jority TO each branch of the Legislature
The Chicago Democrat says, "The Dem
ocrats have swept the State from one end
to the other, by an Unprecedented MAORI
y."
In Indiana, it is supposed the demo.
Gratis have elected decided majority to
the Legislature. This is conceded by
some of the whig p apers. Indiana gave
Gen. Harrison 1868 majority.
MIssoUR1.--The Cincinnati Gazette
(whig) speaks as follows of the elections
In this State:
MIssoURI.-It is impossible 10 tell any
thing about the election in this State as
yet. At ST. Louis several tickets were
run. There is no doub: about the result
in the State it will be loco.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
KENTUGRY-The contest in the State
appears to have turned on tho question
Of"relief or anti.releaf," rather than tho
general question. We looked for no
thing from Kentucky, however. In a
few days, we shalt be able to tell what
will be the political complexion of the
Legislature. IT would seem at preesnt,
that majority ofthe members will be
relief men.

CONGRESS. The "big tariff bill' has
passed both branches, and been sent to
the President, who, il is supposed, will

the tariff bill were not thus connected
withthe land bill, il would doubtless be
signed by the President: But "the fed.

Harrison called them,) are attempting TO

TIoNMENTBrIL.-The whig members ofthe
Pennsylvania Legislature framed an un-

THE MADISONIAN AND GLOBE

These two papers located at the City of Washing

Of politics, are engaged IN a war OF words,
which must tend, if kept up, to create schsms IN the
Democratic ranks; that is, so long as both OF them

have endeavored to look candidly and fairly at the
course pursued by these two journals for the past
wear; in fact we have made all manner Of excuses
for one of them with the hope that IT would see the
course it pursuing was ruinous one to the par
IT, and correct itself accordingly in this however,
wo have been disappointed. We allude now to the
Globe that paper has been of good service to the
Democracy; and we regret to il take the course
it now seems bent on taking. For we assure the ed
tors that much they have done for the party they

President was thus taken with any other native, on
his part than with sin re eye TO the counrys well

fiends 81 far as acquainted disapprove of his
presenl course and il he continues in IT, he will final

The course pu sue 4 by the Madsonian is right,
and unless the editor of the Globe closes his
battery which he is aiming, not only at
the President but at some of our most
distinguished Democratic Senator'S that paper
will close them for him; that is far a support
from the Democratic family is concerned; we had
hoped to see the two Democratic papers at the seat
of Government act in unison, but in this we dlsay
pointed. In justice to the Madisonlan, state that
the course he is pursuing in relation TO the Treaty
and other matters, with which he differs from the
Globe, is approved Of by every Democrat within ou
knowledge he has but to continue in it, to meet thai

partisan Legislatures. With the infamous conduct
of the present Congress before their eyes, the
patriotic appeal Of the President to the people to

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

We anticipate the publication Of our Mondays
edition. and hasten to lay before readers the
nual message of the President
This state paper will be read with various feelings
il may fall into the hands of friends foes The
former vii aud and the latter abuse it without stint
Perhaps the juste miiieu will be the safer ground
We can perceive no reason though, why we should
not award all due praise to those portions of the
message which coincide with own opinions and
which recommend subjects worthy the attention and
deberation Of the statesman, while they claim the
calm and deep consideration Of the people. We
shall never forego right shrink from our duty
of discussing and literally commenting on whatever
nav appear Objectionable in the message OF chief
magistrate. But we hope, at the same time, to e
able To discard aught like pre- iudce and to observe
that decorum which the importance of the paper ex-
smined and the high source whence il emanates,
should command.
In a eriect spirit of candor, we feel that we can
speak Of the paper before u.s. neither swayed against
il by prejudice, acknowledging bias in ITS fa-
vor by any preference we may experience, only so
far as the sound doctrines it inculcates should pro-
duce acquiescence.
For copies Of the message VIC are indebted to the
Madsonian and Baltimore Sun, from which Offices
we were literally supplied with Extras and to
the attention OF our friends Of the Cincinnati Mes
sage
Ia the haste to lay this paper before readers,
we are compelled to confne comments to the
brefest space Nor is t necessary to furnish a sy-
nopsls since the reader has the whole message Tor ms
perusa
In tone it is elevated, pointed, concise and cea, in
stvle aud sound in its doctrina views 1t furnished
pleasing summary of foreign relations, and dis
cusses our domestic affairs with great ability. On
the Tariff it will be found discriminating, sound and
practical. Ii recommends the Warehouse system
an ameloration of the rigor of cash payments; and
in the revision of the duties, wise discrimination,
less extravagant imposts should defeat their primary
end, the revenue they finnish. The plan of finance
is again proposed and argued with great skill and
ability This 70 ms a large, and save the views on
the tariff the most i'm ortant, if not the most nte-
resting feature in the message.
On the whole, we cheeriully approve of the mes
sage The pure patriotism it breathes-its candid
tone and the lust and elevated stand it takes all
the or national topics, ente il the respect Of
Of all parties Whatever hostile partisans may aft
feet TO think of it in other respects deny to
it eminent ability. A more full and satisfactory an
nual communication has rarely if ever, emanatcd
from chief magistrate Of our republic.
