Union of this morning, and commend it to the ai'en
ton of our readers.
Hon David Stuart OF Michigan arrived in Washington
yesterday.
SHALL ILLINOIS ARREST THE TIDE OF FASATl-
CISM2
70 - ,o,soranbic despatch from Chicago, Illinois
dated at that city on the lh of November land received
Yesterday should prove to be true (and on inquiry we
find little reason doubt t) it conveys to the country
intelligence Of of the most remarkable ruhPhs oil
courage and energy in the face of prescription ana hatred
og which we have record in political annals Our own
onu;on Is that the general facts of the despatch VIII be
confirmed by the final Should this be So Judge
Douos will have again shown how faithfully he preserves
his reputation AS bold and perseverng champion OF the
r;obt in the face of the most formidable and powerful
combinations for it in Illinois that he was most
rancorousy assaed il in Illinois that his Nebraska
bill was most foully misrepresened And what rendered
b more confident and INSCRIPTIONS was
the defeats which, other States had
the democratic parench being represented as an explicit
and emphatic decision against the Nebraska bill No matter
how many isms accumulated to bring disaster up
ON the democracy in Pennsylvania Ohio and Indiana, the
poenta element was declared to be the Nebraska bill II
ma,tered not how the nownothngs, who really cared
little for the Nebraska ISSUE even while eectng abolition
wings to ofce hurled their egons against the democ-
racy every democratic overthrow was so much OF re-
buke upon Judge Douglas and Nebraska That the oppo-
nen,s of that able and intrepid statesman should be
10 nrosra,e him sat homcn all know. Nothing has
been left untried to accomplish this result In all the
experence of the oldest politicians nothing like the perse-
cuon called into action against him has been wit
messed The abolition and whig press of the North tra-
duced him in language of unexampled fasehood and vul
earty His whole character, public and private, every
incident of his life and his domestic relations, were
in turn made the pretexts for the most malignant and
the most ingenious ISLANDERS. In this bad game, fty
led by the New York Tribune, decent whig pa
pers did not hesitate to take part and when the
gallant and fearless senator from Illinois was inter-
rpted and prosecuted by an insane negro and abo-
lon mob in his city of Chicago, the pecuIaf
wohippers of law and order loud in praise of the
turbulent rioters against the right of American citizens to
meet in public and discuss their affairs 1t would in
deed be forcble and eloquent comment upon this conn
ued and Unsuitable system of revenge and Of violence
against Just and out-spoken public man. if the tide OF
mistaken popular opinion could be reversed in the State
Illinois There would be of provdential justice III
the fact tina, the revolution against Judge Douglas and the
democratic party should be first arrested and turned back
in Iuosthe State he has so long and so laboriously
served, and so enduringly honored
We shall rejoice to be able to chronicle such result
not alone for the sake of Judge Douglas but also for the
sake Of the fearless Richardson and his compeers, Allen
Harris and Marshall
