The People Of Illinois nave iof Jeai0 u0IN
represented in Congress as if their sfase
were an Offset from Alabama. The NoFln
end is so thoroughly New-EnslSna ~ i.s
dor;ro+;on thar the intensely pro-olaVery
asa.ao+er of its Central end Southern Re-
o..o. lives would nos answer there, but
raSnt , as the lower end has well been
.o4a 95 has oontrived to radiate darkness
enough 60 enshroud almost the whole State
COL B1ssE11 was thought to be az excep-
ton, and really did commence like free
man representing freemen, bat his drmness
spent itself in words, and he closed by voting
for the Fugitive Slave bill with four OF his
colleaoueg-all bus Baker and Wentworth.
Illinois gave proportionally the strongest
vote for that measure Of any Free Soil State.
We cannot believe that vote expresses the
sentiment Of her People, and we trust they
will rebuke it at tbs approaching Election.
In the three lower Districts, Col. VIM. H.
Biggell, Willis Allen vice J. A. M'Clernand)
and Orlando B. Fickin (vice Tim. r. Young
ere the regular candidates, and we DO not
know that they have serious opposiSion.-
Sill, one or more of them may have.
The Nth is the Chicago District, la'e
WentwortRe. Here are three candidates :
Churchill Co8ing (Whig) William B. Os
den buffalo Platform aad Dr.. Richard S.
Molony, Irregular 0pposition.) Dr. 81. was
Wing in 1910, but slumped into Tglerism
when he found the current running against
us. He has Of late been bitter Ca5s man,
and refused to sign memorials in favor Of
the Wilmot Proviao, yet now he comes out
blazing Free Soiler for the occasion! If
thousand or more Bufaloes will consent
to be creased and swallowed by him, he will
be elected.
In the vtb (peoria) District, 0Rvl11z
II. BROWNING, all able and worthy Free-Soil
Wing, opposes the return of Maj. VIM. A.
Richardson, one Of the Carolina lifeguafds.
It's fair fight and we hope for Brown
ing's election.
The With ought not to be doubtful.
MARTIN P. SWEET is the Wing candidate,
(viee Col. Z. D. Baker, opposed by Thomp.
son Campbell. Mr.. Sweet is one Of the
steadfast, Woodworking, all-weathor8 sort
Of Whigq, who always do their duty with
out asking who is to be particularly bene-
flied by success. lie is firm believer in
the Jeffersonian Ordinance, maintaining
both the right and the duty Of Congress to
protect Free Soil from the intrusion Of
Slavery. His opponent stands on the
Cass Baltimore Platform. We think Mr..
Sweet can only be defeated by diversion
of the Free Soil votes to third candidate
for the benefit Of South Carolina, and we
trust there are few 80 foolish as to be duped
in that way We should regard Mr..
Sweets defeat SIS a disaster to the cause Of
Freedom.
In the With District, RICHARD YATES
(Whig) opposes the return of Thos. L, uer-
riq, Opposition, who slipped min AS, on the
strength of a pair Of epaulottes just fresh
and dazzling from Mexico As Mr.. Yates
is every way right, we confidently look for
bis election by at least 500 majority.
We ask our friends in the contested
Districts to DO their whole duty. Illinois
has been wretchedly nisIeprescntod because
her Wings are bad managers and lazy work
ers. They may now elect three Members if
they will, and they will have been unfAiSh-
full to th6ir compstriots in other States if
they fail to improve their opportunity.
In WISCONSIN, all seems TO be going
night The Political ~ire-workers have put
their candidates in the field, but the People
seem resolved to reflect their present able
and independent Delegation entire. We
trust thew may succeed.
