The Cincinnati Enquirer's article was all

tempt for facts and figures, and was mere
gas not sustained by reality. Our Enqui.
rer's article was pretty much all tail-at
least, a very bad head must have concocted
it. Now the fact is, the Old Line Admins
tration Democratic party, have sustained
most ignominous defeat in Illinois, but it
not being quite SO bad as they had been led
to anticipate. nor SO extremely awful as their
defeat in few other States, they have al
most constrained themselves TO believe, they
have secured quite yictory-in not being
altogether demolished.

ton, the Nebraska question was the only
question before the people, aud upon that

were Douglas and his friends speaking over
the State for Nebraska and the administra-

on these issues. And what is the result

as a Nebraska man. We doubt the election
of Allen, as claimed by the Nebraskaites, al
though in two counties scarcely a ticket
could be found with Archer's name upon it.,
and in this particular the basest fraud was
committed. Even if Allen be elected, his
election was only secured by swindling OPP
Grafton, and he is not the choice of the ma
iority of his constituents. Thus much for
the Congressional election. The result Of

only elected two or three of the whole dele
