Election in District No. a.

1t will be seen by a notice in another column !
that the election of a member of Congress from
this district is just at hand. The other parties are
making desperate effort to rally their forces and
secure the election of their favorite candidate by
seducing aud drawing off the Liberty friends.-
However unimportant this election may appear at
first view, there are principles of vital importance
at stake, which ought to arouse every Liberty man
to energetic, persevering action. Now is the time
for the friends of the slave to stand up erect and
show their opponents that their lies and torger-
les have only increased the strength, confidence
and hope of the firm and fearless friends of Iiber-
tv. Both parties are looking on with intense anX-
iety to see what course will be pursued by the
Liberty party. Let its friends now abandon their
post, forsake their candidate, and trample on their
own principles, and great win be the rejoicings of
the other parties, but it will be a sad day for free
dom. If either of the other parties, in attempting
to battle and i%njure us, destroy themselves, it is
their concern, not ours. They have assumed a
position which forbids our assisting them in any
way, without the sacrifice of every valuable prin-
ciple. They are welded to shareholders, and con-
s%equently to slavery: so long as this is the case we
have nothing to expect from them: they are join
ed to their idols, let them alone. If Mr.. Dilling-
ham is elected, he has given US no proof, from the
course he has taken in Congress, that he will do
any thing for the slave, or even vote against reso-
~lutions, should they be again Introduced, condemn
ing aboIitionlsts for taking '~incipient steps for the
abolition of slavery. Should Mr.. Chandler be
eIectad we have quite as little to expect from him.
Let Liberty men stand firm in the support of theIi
principles. By assisting either party we forfeit al
respect from the opposite party, and even the par
ty that we might assist would regard US as traitors
, dispise US for our want of principle, and even tur
r and rend us. Let it be seen that our ranks are III
G vulnerable, and ur@principles to sacred to be sac
e rifced for mere party purposes. Noc is the tim
= for action. Let Liberty men be awake. Remtm

The onlv man oho, for ttcenty gears, has stood err

MEssRs. EDIroRs: In this nominally free State
the following laws are in force. /. If any citizen
employs a black or mulatto person, not having a
certificate of freedom, he is liable one dollar and
fifty cents a day-one-third to the informer, the
rest to the county.
2. Every magistrate, on proof Of the laziness of
any person held to service, is bound to issue an
osder of correction by striDes, compelling nnre-
Quilted toll.
s. Any slave being found ten miles from his
masters house, without a pass, may be taken up
by any individual, brought before a magistrate and
punished by stripes not exceeding So.
4. 1t is the duty of magistrates to deliver to the
sheriff of the county all black or mulatto persons
brought before them, not having certificates Of
freedom, to be lodged IN jail-advertised, that the
oppressor may find them, and if he cannot, sold
for one year to pay Jail fees and costs of prosecu-
ton!
5. A negro, mulatto or Indian, is prohibited Civ
ing testimony in any case where u white man is
a party. OF course, by this law, (passed Feb. Q,
1917 not only property and freedom, but chalac-

above described, and the I'd act Jan. II, 1929.
Without further specifications, | may remark,
that, 10 Illinois, every person is legally bound to
r~ecapture fugitive slaves, forbidden to assist them,

pate his own-heavy bonds being required for
their good behaviour, &C., sc. Make your own
