The regular democracy in other parts OF the state
are quite as much annoyed at the sentiments ex'
pressed by DR. Moloney in his answers to the que
ries of Mr. Ogden. The State Sentinel at Spring
deld is very sharp DR. Maloney; it says that the
democracy Of the fourth district have been betray
ed; that they have been long enough
already by John Wentworth and Illinois wants no
more such men in Congress. 1t will not consent
to sacrifice the democratic senator's and represent
atives Of Illinois, for the poor compensation OF
electing an avowcd abolitionist to Congress.
The Register desires the democracy to be rid OF
the dsgraceful esponsibilty of eiecting any such
man as Moloney. elected, it says, let it be as an
abolisionist and not as q democrat; and adds:
aThe name of Richard 5. Molony is stricken from
the list OF democratic candidates at the head Of our
columns. We regard the democracy Of the fourth
district as without candidate. To recognize him
as candidate, is to denounce and ostraclze every
other candidate. To endorse his sentiments. would
be to abandon, at once, the principles OF our party,
and adopt those Of Seward, and Glddlngs, and HAZE,
and WENTWORTH
The democracy in the Springfield district are in
quite as much trouble about thei: candidate, Major
Harris. The Major is thought to be sound upon
the subject OF slavery and banks, but very unfor-
tunatey, not upon the subject OF internal improve
ments. Mr. Yates ,the wing candidate, and Major
Harms had meeting and made speeches at
Springfield, few days ago, when the Major took
occasion to tell his friends that upon the subject
of the river and harbor bill, he was not to be tied
down by the Baltimore platform, or any other plat
form-he said he must be permitted to Judge for
himself and take his own shoot" When the speak
ing had closed, A. G. Herndon, Esq, prominent
and influential democrat, mounted the stand and
took Major Harris TO task for failing to answer the
arguments ofMr Yates, and for having totally fail
ed to make fair exposition or manly defence Of
democratic principles. He denounced the Major
for having abandoned the democratic platform in
regard to internal Improvements and for the speech
he made in Congress in the early part Of the SEES
sion. lie called upon the crowd, and not a demo-
crat present would endorse the speech Of Major
Harris. Mr. Herndon concluded by declaring HIM
self candidate for Congress; and thus the race will
be triangular one-Yates, whig, against Harris,
locofoco, and Herndon, democrat.
Mr. Yates had every prospect Of being elected by
large majority before this split in the democracy
He will get more votes than both his competitors,
by large odds.
In the Quincy district there is warm and in
teresting canvass going on between Browning.
WING, and Richardson, democrat. From the means
which have been resorted to by some ofthe opps-
stion presses in the district, to render Mr. Brown
ing odious to the people, we spprehend that the
party greatly fear he will be elected, it they cannot
put him down by falsehood and detraction. We
hope the wings will turn out in their full stregth,
and redeem the district. Mr. Browning in Con-
gress, would be an honor to the state.
In the Rock Island district. Mr. Sweet, the WING
candidate, il actively engaged in canvaSsing the
district. His chsnces OF .uceess Good, and II
the wings do their duty he viii be elected by large
majority. The friends Of Mr. Turner, one Of the
candidates before the convention that nominated
Campbell, seeded from the convention. declaring
that Turner ad been unfairly defeated that they
would take no part in the canvass nor election.
