GREAT AND GLORIOUS FROM ILLINOIS

From the Illinois State Register, Extra.
Great and glorious triumph Of the cause Of human
Iiberty--POIk and Dallas triEnpTrant--llIinOls
the keystone state--DOwnfall of British Wing
gerry, AbOlitiOnism, and ChHrch-Burning feder-
alism.
We breathe fIcer and deaper. Not because we have
riumphcd in the State for that was certain but because
we have struck British federalism deep in IFS strong
holds. Sangamon and Morgan counties have herelor
fore been the very headquarters OF federalism in the
Stale; but on Monday last the noble democracy oil
boh counties gave these British leaders such blow as
they will feel forever. This blow is only the precursor
of the entire overthrow Of federalism in both counties
The Decree has gone forth Mark the predictions; the
die is cast and British federal whtggery is destined TO
overwhelming defeat in the very camp ol its leaders
In Sangamon the whg majority of 1910 has been re-
duccd 10O The whgs at the opening o. the campaign
pledged SangamoD for 1000 whig majority bat alter
dragging their sick, halt and blind, to the polls, they
have obtained only 37O majority They bave elected a
Senator and four Representatives and county officers,
by an average majority Of about 3OO and Bakers ma
ori:y for Congress about 30.
In Morgan, Bakers majority only 80. Last year
uardin's majority only f67. In 1910 Harrisohs ma

In Mebard, we lean Bakers majority is 22 and th'
whig ticket elected This result surprises every body
here, both whig and democrat. What viliam has beer

We give below nearly complete returns OF the elec-

last year, equally divided and the casting OF Repre-
senatives the Wings have gained, so that they will
have probably sD majarity-thTee members more than
half--lhe whole number being 100. But this gain for
the Wings in the HoSse is not owing 10 change in
Popular vote in their favor 1t is in consequence of
the peculiar arrangement Of the apporionment bill
passed in l8iO when The Wings had nearly the whole
Legislature, by which the floating members given to
the Whig counties at the seSsoSs in which u S. Sena

We have the popular votes in Al Of The 81 counties
Taking the highest vote for representatives on each
side, in these Al counties, comprising as they do, the
strongest Wing counties in the State and we find that
the democratic strength is actually greater than it was
last year in the same counties by nearly 1000 votes.
The Wings have also an increase, bat not so large
one as The Democrats. The remaining counties will
show still better for the Democracy and confirm the fact
that oe haze nOl1 larger popalr majority than we had

ANECDOTE of WASHINGTON

& the commencement of the revolu-
tionary war. there lived at East Wind
sor in this State, a farmer Of the name
Of Jacob Munsell, aged As years. AT
ter the communication by water be-
tween this part Of the country and Bos-
ton was interrupted by the possession
of Boston harbor, by the British feet,
Munsell was often employed to trans
port provisions by land 10 our army
lying in the neigeborhood Of Boston.
In the summer of l775, while thus en-
nloyed, he arrived within few miles
Of the camp, at Cambridge. with a
large load, drawn by stout OK team.
In part of the road, which was some
what, rough, and where the travelled
pathway was narrow, he met two car
riages, in each of which was an Amer
lean General officer. The officer in
the forward carriage, when near to
Munsell, put his head out of the win.
dow, and called 10 him in an authori-
ta'ive tone-"Dan,n you, get out of
the path. ~ Munsell Immediately re-
torted, damn you, wont get out
OF the path--get out yourself" After
some other vain attempts TO prevail on
Munsell to turn out. the'oflic carriage
turned out, and Munsell kept the path.
The other carriage Immediately came
up, having been within hearing dis
lance of what had passed; and the Off
Ger within it pu, his head out of The
window, and said TO Munsell, "My
friend, the road is bad, and it is very
difficult for me to turn; will you be so
good as to turn out and let me pass?"
"With all my heart, sir" said Num-
sell; "but | wont be damned out of the
path by any, man." This last officer
was General Washington.
The writer of the foregoing article,
having heard the story at the time of
the transaction, inquired of Munsell;
soon after The close Of the war, as to
the truth of it. He said it was true
exactly. His word was entirely to be
relied upon.

The Day Of Rest.--Dr Thomas Sc
wall, distinguished physician of
Washington, D. G.. thus speaks of the
effects Of a due observance Of the Sab
bath on the body and mind:
"For number of years have been

men in public life, officers of the Gov

al Legislature, eminent Jurists, whose
labors are generally great, and duties
arduous and pressing. Some Of them
have considered it their privilege as
well as duty, 10 suspend their public
functions; while others have continued
them to the going down of the Sabbath
sun. Upon the commencement, Of the
secular week the one class arise with
all their powers invigorated and refresh
ed; while the others come to their duty
with body and mind jaded and out of
tone. have no hesitation, therefore,
in declaring it as NY opinion, that if The
Sabbath was universally observed as
day of devotion and of rest from secular
occupation, far more work of body
and mind would be accomplished, and
be better done-more health would be
enjoyed, with more of waltz and inde-
pendence. and thai me should haze

My Fathers House.

There is place of waveless rest,
Far, far above the skies,
where beauty lives etcrnally,
And pleasure never dies
My Fathers house-my heavenly home,
Where glorious mansions stand,
Prepared by God himself for ell
Who seek "Immanuel's land"
When tossed upon the waves of life,
With fear on every side,
When loudly bowls the gathered storm,
And foams the angry tide
Beyond the storm, beyond the waves,
Bursts forth the light Of morn,
Bright beaming from my Fathers house.
To cheer the soul forlorn.
And even when the hour draws nigh,
With all it's dreadful gloom,
When death shall burst the bands of life
And sink us in the tomb,
The light of yonder heavenly house,
Shall cheer the parting soul,
And DER it, mounting to the skies,
A tide of rapture roll.
In that blest home o: changeless ioy,
Earths parted friends shall meet,
With smiles OF love that never fade,
And happiness complete;
Q, these adieus are sounds unknown;
Death frowns not on that cline,
But life in glorious beauty blooms;

The Loco FOCOS and PrOtec-
lion.

We have more than once charged the
loco foco party with having changed
their position in regard to the Tariff
question, and now we will show from
the record, that we have nothing extern
uated, or set down aught in malice
We shall not extend our examination
beyond 1924, although we might pre-
sent our readers with the speeches of
John G. Calhoun and other free trade
loco focos, on the tariff bill of 1916. as
triumphant vindications of the necessi-
ty and propriety of protection. We
shall not GO beyond 1924, because i.
was then that the war upon protection
was first earnestly and vigorously be-
gun. The tariff of 1924 all will admit,
was protective tariff; and the tariff of
1923 even more protective than that of
1924, was modified by the tariff Of
1882, which also recognized the prin-
ciples of protection. But the tariffs of
1924, % and 1882, were each and all Of
them higher in the aggregate than the
present tariff, the honor Of which, be-
longs TO the wings, and the wings on
ly. We have measured our Words
we know the responsibility we incur,
and if the Gazette denies it, we can
and will prove that the tariff of 1912, is
lower than any Of them, aye, lower
than the tariff Of 1916. Will its editor
undertake to show that our statements
are false /? Not he-he is a little too
smart for lhat,--at least we think
so.
The tariff of 1924 was passed in the
Senate on the 18th Of Nay, twenty-five
Senators voting in the affirmative.
The yeas were as follows:
Messrs Jno. Chandler, Jno. Holmes,
Sam'l Bell, James De Wolf, N. r.

The vote explains itself-it needs no
comment. 1t is only necessary to say
that those in Italics opposed the adj
minis,ra,ion of John Quincy Adams.
The tariff of 1928, generally known
as the "BiH Of denominations" passed
the Senate, on the 18th of Nay, by
vote of 26 yeas, to 81 nays. The yeas
were
Messrs Barnard, Bateman, BEN

Those in italics were and are the

ate on the 9th Of July, by vote of 80
in the affirmative TO l6 in the negative.
