80. The Chicago Times in noticing the de.
feat of Hon. Jno Wentwofth, before tho Dem.
ocratic nominating convention, says: fe
,'eH The battle has been fought in this district
between Stephen A. Douglas as the leader of
Democracy, and John Wentworth, the corrupt
and corrupting knave who for ten years, by
trickery and fraud, has held the Democratic
party at defiance. In that battle, the infa-
nous wretch, the faithless friend, the knayish
traitor, the disgraced Congressman, and de.
spised individual, now the representative in
Congress from Chicago, has been defeated,
prostrated forever, with forbearance wholly
unmerited, the DEMOCRATIC party allowed the
scoundrel life enough to end his few remain
ing days of political existence; and the traitor,
who has heretofore often licked the hand that
ctr uck him, as we'll az stung the hand that fed
him, turns upon the magnanimous conqueror
with q volley of curses.'' raE3 =

the District Court, vice Brockett, resigned
The election comes off in few days.
-. It will be remembered that not long
since we took occasion to express doubt of
the truth Of the story that Sam Houst IN had
agreed to lecture in Boston on slavery at the
request Of the Anti Slavery Society. The fol-
lowing are comments which our article has
elicited. The New York Evening Post says
eve presume no one expected that United
States Senator from Texas, and he Sam Hous-
ton, was going to Boston to preach abolitionism,
Tor two reasons-the first Is because he is not
an abOlitionist but STAKEHOLDER, and the So
oond is that If he had anything to say against
slavery, he 10 not the man to 60 first into free
State to say it."
Whether Cen Sam Houston is for or against
slavery is more than We can say. But this is
certain, that he has been announced BY the
authority of leading anti.slavery men in this
CITY, as lecturer on slavery, on February
I'D, and We know nothing against the CORRECT
ness Of this announcement Traveller,
