Illinois Election.-Glorious Result In 0alena, i
We learn from friend who came passenger |
in the Henrietta, that Washburne's majority in
Galcna and the two adjoining precincts is 500
more than it was two years ago when he was
elected by large majority. This time we can't
think of claiming less than A 900 majority for
Mr.. Washburne; let Nebraska doughfaces and
railroad swindlers stand from under, they can
expect no mercy from him.
At the time our informant left, (the 9Th, no
news had been received from the East, the wires
being broken between Galena and Chicago, but
doubtless the result at Galena is but the first drop
of the torrent that has swept the sham democra-
cy from the whole Northern portion of the Union,
and buried Pierce, Douglas & Co. so deep that
''the hand of resurrection willne reach them."
Our Galena friends were to have grand
celebration and supper at the De Soto House on
the evening of the Sth inst. in honor of the COM
pletion Of the Railroad to that city.
( FIRE AT MINNIE EAPoLIs.--Wel learn from Mr.. Swift,
that the dwelling Of D. M. Hanson, ESQ.,, at Min
neapolis, was destroyed by fire on Saturday night
last. The fire was discovered by neighbor, who
alarmed the inmates. and who had barely time to
escape with their lives. Several trunks belonging
to lumbcrmcn, consumed. 1t is supposed
! that the fire originated from stove pipe. Let
our own citizens be cautious.

sin election. s.- r'
THE RED MEN OF THE FOREST.
Where are they? What are their prospects p
Since the hour of the first surprise of the Red
Men, on behoding the ships of the discoverers of
this Continent, they have had constant cause of
surprise, and long since have learned to be sur
prised no more; for they have learned that with
all their stratagem, they unable to cope with
the white man. Could those who first beheld the
Red Man but have looked into his heart, and read
what he might have read-the unmistakable evil
dence of human being? Could they have over
come that degrading propensity of gain, and for
a moment considered the claims of those to whom
Providence had given home of woodland and
prairie, lakes and rivers, how much of what we
now read of crime, of midnight murder, of
houses burned, of inmates taken prisoners, Of
cruel barbarities, and the truly awful end of
Of our own number, would never have been writ
ten, and we should not now have to ask ourselves,
Where are they? What are their prospects?
We now begin to learn that they have charac-
tcristics which give them position among the va
rious races, and characteristics, too, which begin
! to demand the attention of many. But it is now
too late-not too late, it is true, to do much for
the remnant that remains, but too late to make
any Just estimate of what might have been their
present condition, had an entirely different course
been pursued towards them. Too late to bind up
the broken hearts that have burst beneath the
blow of the relentless savage, who reluctantly
and painfully learned that the ''pale faccs' were
against him, his home, and all his interests. We
may learn that they have feelings, passions, hopes,
and disaprointmcnts, but this knowledge is only
the occasion of more deep and heartfelt regret
that we have not, heretofore, as now, considered
ourselves their protectors, and acted accordingly.
But where arc they? They are mt ON the shores
of the broad Atlantic. They arc not sailing in
their light canoe reclining the banks of those
rivers they much ovoI. They NJ moro roam
through the forests OF their fathers, no-no.-
| They have been driven from their lands. Their
burial places have been leveled by the plow of
the white men, and they, through stern necessity,
have sought sorrowing beyond the Father of Wa
ters' for home, but they have sought in vain. They
have no longer home, for all their prospects
have been blightcd, and they look forward witt,
pleasure, only, to the time when the 'Great
Spirit will call them to the Spirit Land" where
the white man will no more molcst them. Where
they may roam through forests, and pursue, with
their faithful dog, their accustomed sports.

=" INTERNAL MACHINEs.''-The Times of yester-
| day is out for demOlishng all internal machines
Hold, neighbor, you forgot that if all internal
machines were destroyed. the Wing party would
bee no uIar !''-Pioneer.
CO Will the Pioneer please inform us what
kind of 4 machine that was which laid its favor
te DIR. Olds on his back in I" Ohier," by upwards
Of 5000 majority? Will it also tell us what kind
of a machine that was which laid the Democracy
cold in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana by 32 900,
10000 and $4,000 majorities? And what kind of
machine was it that gave the Democracy the
triumph in this Territory, and more particularly
in this city, and without which they could not
have been successful? Such machine is dan
gerous to the Democracy, and we do not blame
the Pioneer for its solictude concerning its fate.
Wait until after the returns from New York, Wis
