WHO nre Opposed to Cot. Wentworth.

The regular nominated Democratic
Candidate for Representative to Con-
gress! We answer the individuals who
were bought, body and breeches and
souls if .Aey had any, by the State Bank
of Illinois, aad who misused the power
delegated hem by the people to legalze
the operations of THAI institution, by
which the farmers and laborers Of Illinois
have been swindled on, of millions of dol
lars of their hard earnings. The black
legs and drunkards who tlisgraced the
legislative halls at Springfield, and whose
denominations Ire "showed up" to the in
dignant gaze Of an insu,ed constituency,
oppose him. The political trmmers who
have been "all things at times and Moth
ing long" and have had the screen be-
hind which they performed their jugg-
ling tricks torn down by John Went
worth, the reformer. now oppose him.
The specializing scamps who have prey
ed upon community with their schemes
and traps to catch the unwary and pluck
them, and who have been exposed in
their wicked designs, Ivy John Went
worth the vigilan, guardian of the peoples
interests and rights, oppose him.
This is the material of which the op-
position, aside from party considerations,
is made up.-And more relentless and
bitter opposition was never made TO any
individual The worst passions Of the
human heart are arrayed in all their ma
lignFy against him. Fai,hless legisla-
tors, who have sunk into merned obscu-
rity, as the Just reward for trusts belray-
ed, now seek to wreak their vengeance
upon John Wentworth, who stood forth
as their public accuser, regardless Of the
consequences to himself. when he knew
his duty to the phblic required it.-Fhose
who neglected the public interests com.
mited TO their charge. and spent iheir
time in the gamblers den, the brorheI and
the grogshops, and who have fel, the
scathing rebukes, Of John Wentworth,
that cut like caustic into their rouenness,
now exert their uimos. energies in the
hopes of revenge.
But who will support him in this, his
day of trial Answer. The PEOPLE
the great body of the community,
whose faithful Waterman he has always
been. AS sentinel on the outer wall,
he has always been vigilan, and sIeepess,
and never failed to sound the tocsin at
the approach Of the peoples enemies.
However disguised or masked he has
been sure to detect the foe, aed raise the
alarm in season 70 the people to arouse
in self-dcience,-When the spirit of spc-
culation had maddened the community,
and corruption rolled its mountain wave
over the land, was he carried away by
the tide =! No; on the rock Of principle
he stood, and the food moved him not.
Even then was heard his warning voice.
the Immortality Of the times never caused
him to lose sight Of tina. principle, con-
sisency.
Democratic suffrage should only be
bestowed upon the faithful and deserving;
those who merit reward for long tried
services. and who never prove derelict
TO any duty they have been called upon to
perform. The Democracy OF the fourth
district know that John Wentworth is
true to their cause, and if elected will car
~ on, the principles of the party, with
fidelity, and ability {; and we religiously
believe that his election is as certain, az
that the revolving wheel Of time will
bring about the first Monday in Au-
gus, ncxt.-Chicago Democart.
