the members holding over, will probably stand
IL so-called Democrats to 16 Wings; some O.
the former of course being Anti-Nebraska
there can be little doubt of the election of ar
| Anti Nebraska Senator.
IOWA
1t is already known that the Anti. Nebraska
members are largely in the majority in the
lower house of the Legislature; but it has
been assorted that the Senate is tied. or hss
one Locofoco majority. Late Iowa papers cor
rect this last error. The DUBUQUE Observe,
states that the Wing candidate in the Poll
Senatorial district has the certificate which
gives an Anti Nebraska majority of one and
the burlington Hawk- Eye mentions the re-
turn Of Wing Senator from California, who
Il was supposed would be absent. So that the
gallant Dodge" is nowhere.

tensions to Apd-Slavery, but like Ransom SEN
ator Stuart, Littlejohn, Bassett, and other
Democratic leaders, it was only sham, as
their subsequent course has demonstrated
General Stephens, who is thrown overheard
by the Nebraskaite Office holders who prepon-
derated in the 4th district Democratic Conven-
ton, was present on the occasion, and made q
speech, IN which he stated, that should he
again be honored with a seat upon the floor of
Congress, and similar bill to that of the Ne
ka-Kansas bill be introduced, he should
vote as he had done upon the one passed at the
last session, against h.-N. Y. Tribune.

FLORIDA.
Florida, they say, he's gone Democratic by
an unprecedented majority-not less than 900
votes. Augustus E. Maxwell is reelected to
Congress over Governor Thomas s. Brown,
with q Legislature to match, who will return
David l.. Yulee IA disciple of Calhoup) to the
U. S. Senate, in place of jackson Morton, who
is classed as Southern Wing of the school of
Badger and Dixon. We are not aware that
Mr.. Morton has ever evinced devotion to
any Wing principle whatever, while he did
what he could for the Nebraska Iniquity. Be-
tween this sort of Wings and the Yulee school
of politicians. we prefer the success of the lat
tern. Y. Tribune.
THE MOVEMENT IN ILLINOIS.
S. p. Chase, J. z Giddings, J. Coddtng, and
Frederick Douglass, an the Field.
CHICAGO, October Is, 1854
To the Editor of the National Era.
Illinois, in C certain sense, is the battle
ground Of the Nebraska question It was the
Senator who misrepresents the State of ILL.,
nois, who conoocted that "bill of abomina-
tons" The people of Illinois, though tho
darkness of Egypt is over portion of the
State, feel deeply the humiliating position in
which they are placed. They honor the prin-
ciple of the Northwestern Ordinance and ap-
probate that Freedom policy to which she is SO
deeply indebted for her unparalleled prosper
ity. They have followed Douglas with rebuke
and condemnation, wherever he has gone No
where in the State has he been sustained by
the people, and only gained occasionally par
tial comfort from the elfgenerated approba-
ton of political intrigue. But the wire-pullers
are not the State, and they cannot pull the
people on to the side of Nebraska and Douglas
Democracy.
A number of distinguished champions of
Freedom have been invited into the State by
the people. These men have been received
with great enthusiasm and large meetings
have been held when it was announced they
would speak. The reception of Cassius M
Clay and j. r. Giddings was like the march of
triumphal professions.
Mr.. Chase has just arrived, to attend few
meetings in different and distant sections of the
State. He had noble meeting and most
cordial reception on his arrival in Chicago, on
the ground of Mr.. Douglass discontinue.
What change and contrast between the po-
sitions of these two distinguished advocates of
the extremes of the same question, from the
Hall of the Senate and the arena of the peo-
pie! In the one, q Senator has insult
ed and attempted to browbeat Senator
Oh the side of the minority while from the
people has come up in rebuke the rude Ian
guage of an insuited populace, condemning the
arrogant man of the majority and the defend
er of the right, trodden under foot in legisla-
tive halls, receives the welcome plaudits of the
people. Mr. Chase should be honored by the
people, as the leader Of the Nebraska enthusi-
asm. He was the unfinching opponent of the
bill in the Senate, shaped the order Of the cam
paign by which the contest was conducted. The
character and wisdom of the Senator is trans
fused throughout the movement. AS the un-
worthy Senator (Douglas) who concocted the
iniquity fails into disgrace through his aposta-
CIV, the faithful Senator should receive the re-
ward of a grateful people. Senator Chase is
the leading man of this movement-the man
OF the day, and one equal to the demand of the
occasion.
He has also addressed largo and intelligent
audiences in the counties Of Belvidere and Au-
rora He will also visit Springfield, Jackson
vile, Gslena, &c.
MIR. Codding, whom you, MIR. Bailey, when
he visited Ohio in 1896 called the Tom Cor
win of Illinois," is in the field, everywhere re-
ceived with appreciation, and is now pressing
forward in his work into the darkness of Egypt.
Hon. ]. R. Giddings ia announced to return to
this State this week, and will remain here till
after the election.
Frederick Douglass will arrive on the goth,
and remain till after the election. There has
been a great desire manifested to have the
black Douglass on the stump against the
white Douglas is an issue that would well
suit the b'hoys, and add much to the zest
of the canvass, and prolong the relish for
fun which has been giggling at the heels OF
the unfortunate champion of Slavery and Ne
braska since his arrival in this State. The
public will feel quite safe in leaving the de-
fence of the cause in the hands of the emanci-
pated slave | understand that Frederick feels
q great dsgree of commiseration for his erring
brother Stephen and hopes to do something
