As sell the DAILY GLOBE at halfthe price of

afford to do nasmuch as the subscription Of Con-
gress almost covers the cost of composition. and
this enables me TO sell for little more than the cost

ILLINOIS POLITICS.

Nothing has ever been half so potent to
revolutionize public sentiment especially po-
lltical sentiment, in Illinois, as the passage of
the law by the late Legislation, excluding
free persons of color from the State. Public
meetings have been held in nearly all the
counties in the northern part of the State,
which have been participated in by many
who have formerly acted exclusively with the
wing or democratic parties. At these meet
ings strong resolutions have been passed con-
demnatory of the party in power, which cnac-
ted the infamous law, and declaring the ne
cessity of political organizations, free from the
control of, or alliance with the slave power
If the ball is kept rolling which is now in
motion, the disgraceful act Of the last Legis-
lature will be repealed at the next, and more
healthful public opinion will prevail on the
subject Of human rights. The public discus
sions of the people, must lead to good results !;
many have been induced to think, and to be
made fully aware of the insidious encroach-
ments of the slave power, who have hitherto
been comparatively Indifferent. Calm deli
beration and investigation in public meetings
and in the columns of the press, such as are
now in progress in Illinois, cannot fail to add
vance the cause OF freedom among the intel
ligent masses. Those who are under the
control of party dictation, and whose moral
sensibilities are so blunted as not to heed the
distinctions between liberty and oppression,
will of course continue to vote and act lust
as their demagogue leaders shall Indicate

This work has now been published in Eu-
rope and in this country, and seems destined
to have circulation quite as wide as Uncle
Toms Cabin. The northern apologists of
slavery have charged the authoress with gi-
wing perverted and distorted view of slave
ry. The book has been denounced by ma
ny northern presses, as tissue of falsehoods
and SANDER upon our American charac-
ter. Now we have the key to the work; gi-
wing the facts with names and dates. Will
these northern croakers continue to find fault
with the book, and aver it to be made up of
exagerations; or will they set about disprov-
ing the statements If the facts stated in
the Key to Uncle Tom are untrue, there is
now fair opportunity to convict the author
ess of unfairness and falsehood. But we pre-
dict no such thing will be attempted at dis
prevail: we shall probably be told by such
papers as the pious Journal of Commerce
and its smaller echoes, that the evils and abo-
limitations of slavery, are none of the peoples
business.
1t is gratifying to note that some of the
Southern journals, published in slaveholding
States, treat with much greater fairness and
candor the authoress of Uncle Tom than null
titudes of obsequious northern papers. The
following article from the Louisville Co,ri-
er, published in slaveholding State, we
commend to that class of northern men, who
always appear distressed when anything is
said about the wickedness of slavery, and who
denounce as abolitionists all who profess to
believe the institution as bad as represented
by the writer of Uncle Tom:
"The method thus pursued by Mrs. Stowe,
in indicating her regard for the truth of
history while weaving the web of fiction seems
to us to be very complete. To chapter of
the Cabin she devotes a chapter of the
Key showing her fidelity to facts through
out The great difference between the two
is, that in writing the fiction she smoothed
down the abhorrent wrinkles of the facts, and
for the purpose of making her story attrac-
tive worked up the incidents and characte-
risties of the common life she was delineating
with the heightened eolors of romance. What
were otherwise repulsive, is thus made capt.
waiting.
Mrs. Stowe gives document date, page
and name for the principal materials of her
exposition. We have not had time to read
the work regularly through, but speaking from
couple of hours spent in skimming its pages
it seems to us that her vindication from the
gross charges that have been made against
is complete"

FREE DEMOCRATIC PAPER IN CAL1FoR-
MIA Free Democratic paper has been
started in San Francisco. There is now a
great effort being made to divide the State
with the view of establishing slavery in the
new State to be formed out of the present one
The political press, both wing and democra-
tic, are not sufficiently outspoken upon this
subject to satisfy the friends of freedom
Therefore, Free Democratic paper has been
commenced for the purpose of a strenuous
opposition to the proposed measure of intro
ducing slavery on the Pacific coast, and in
territory where Congress refused to recog-
nize slavery, but at the same time refused to
prohibit it by the passage of the Wilmot
Proyiso.

N Our readers are referred 10 the com.

GE Our readers are referred to the COM
munication of P. JUDsoN, Esq., who was de-
signsted by the City Council to attend as a
delegate, the Railroad Convention. held at
Port Huron, last week. This great enter
prise, of a northern road to the Atlantic. is
beginning to excite the attention of people
in the eastern portion of our State. The
suggestions contained in the communication
are worthy of attention, and will be read with
interest.
We find in the proceedings of the Conven-
ton, as reported in the Port Huron CONNER
c'ol, the following extract of speech made
by our delegate from Kenosha:
"Mr. Judson, of Kenosha, regretted that
througha delay on the central road, the de-
legates from Milwaukee had not arrived, and
that he was alone from Wisconsin. He pre-
sented, very fully and eloquently, the interest
felt in his State in this road. They looked
upon it as the most important enterprise pro-
Jected, as an outlet to the whole of the State.
This was their favorite line and its success
full prosecution most anxiously looked for by
the people Of Wisconsin. He stated that the
nj. d NJ. r. r. was now completed to Rock
River, and was in process of construction
thence west to the Mississippi River. That
roads were projected and under contract from
Racine and Kenosha west, and that at no dis
tant day three lines of roads would traverse
the State from the Lake to the Mississippi
and at least one of them ere long would be
extended as far as grass grovs (His re-
marks were listened to with great interest and
hearty cheers.)

SOUTHERN WISCONSIN RAN no.n

One of the most important rail road enter
prizes now contemplated in the west is, pro-
badly, the road called the Southern Wiscon-
sin. This road is proposed to be construct
ed from Dubuque, on the Mississippi river,
east to GAINESVILLE; from which point the ira
vel and business of the road will seek the
most convenient channel of communication
to Lake Michigan. This road will pass
through the heart of the lead mine district,
which is one of the most productive in that
kind of mineral of any in America. The bu-
siness of the mining districts in the western
part of this State, has become of great i'm
portance to the whole country, and the amount
of capital now employed in the mines is large,
and every year increasing. A railroad com
munication from the Mississippi river, thro'
the lead region to Lake Michigan, cannot
fail to become one of the most important
channels of inland commerce in the west.
The prospects for the immediate building
of this road, are regarded as hattering. The
city of Dubuque has taken stock in the road
to the amount of 100000; Galena has Ia
ken 100000; and abou. $4,000 have
been subscribed on the line between Du-
buque and GAINESVILLE. The city of GAINESVILLE
has recently decided to loan its credit; and
it is now certain that the whole line from
GAINESVILLE to Dubuque, win be immediate
ly put under contract, aud the work press
ed vigorously forward to completion. The
point on the lake shore within the limits Of
this State, which shall most successfully iden.
tify its interests with this road, by securing
its commerce, is matter of much Importance
The securement of the lead trade, alone, is
sufficient to build up and sustain the COM
mercial Importance of any one town on the
Lake shore. What will be the ultimate des-
tination. of the trade on this road after reach
ing GAINESVILLE, remains to be developed in the
future; that future, however, is not distant.
An intelligent writer in the GAINESVILLE Ga
geHe, speaking of the Importance of the road
and Of its probable destination from GAINESVILLE
to Lake Michigan, has the following remark
with the Valley road built to this point
which this measure will accelerate, if it does
no more, Kenosha will have but 43 miles OF
road to buildto be in connection with us, and
ready for competition with her neighbors foi
the trade of the West. And although Ra-
cine, like Milwaukee, has seen. fit to engage
in warfare with us, and threaten to run
around us, like Milwaukee, she will also be
compelled to yield and come here at last il
the Southern Wisconsin road is built as now
proposed, or ruin herself in the attempt tc
avoid u.s. .# FIX.
