Times" published in the city of Chicago, by
Cook, Cameran a. Sheahan, and edited by
j. w Sheahap, Esq. This paper takes the
place of Young America which has been
issued for few weeks, and which, in the alb
sence Of any truly democratic Journcl in that
city, was established to reflect and perpe,uate
the genuine principles of the democratic party.

The democracy of Chicago, any North East
ern Illinois, have experienced the want OF such
an organ for some time-both the so-called
democr attic organs having yielded feeble and
doubtful support to The cause-and we sincerely
hope, now that they have it in the person OF
/" The Chicago Times that they will cordially
and manfully sustain it. Speaking OF the
| Administration and its intended course, it says
1--WE intend to render such support as our
ability may afford to the National and State
Administrations. We know no act of the Ma,
tonal Administration, either with respect to
our foreign or domestic policy, which does not
meet our hearty approval. With respect to
appointments to Office, il may be that had we
the appointing power we would have made, IN
some few instances, different selections, yet
knowing the great and embarrassing d faculties
which attend the distribution Of Offices, we can
readily admit that errors of judgment may have
been, and will almost inevitably be made
Believing that the democratic party does not
rest for success upon the hope OF office enter
tanned by its members, we do not admit the JUS
,ice or propriety of any man abandoning his
political principles because he or his friends
have not been successful in seeking office.

our cordial support; we believe it to be framed
on the only correct principle upon which con-
.ressionaI action upon the slavery question
could be placed We will resist its repeal, and
in the language of the Baltimore platform, the
repeal of 1.-The acl for the reclamation OF fugi.
tives from service or labor, which act being de-
signed to carry out an express provision of the
Constitution, cannot, with fidelity thereto, be
repealed, or so changed as to destroy or impair
its efficiency
In advocating these principles and maintain
ing these positions, we are and intend to be
wholly independent Of all parties and men,
We are the organ Of no man and of no party
We believe that there is no paper now publish

cal sentiments of the people of this city. Our
ambition will be to present the citizens OF Chi

will by it's success refute the slanderous asser|

are opposed to free speech, freedom of opinion,

THE LEE County, PLAisDEALER.-Wep pub
lish an article copied from the Keokuk Dis
patch" in our weekly issue, in reply to an
onslaught from the sPlaindeuler" upon the
democrnc, of Lee couny, the Administration
and the Hon A. {. Dodge The os'ensbe
| excuse for The course of the " Plaindeaer," is
the defeat of H w Sample, a candidate for
the General Assembly in that county. IT what
we have heard stated be true, hat Mr. Sample,
made fierce opposition to Gen. Dodge and
desired his election TO turn upon this issue, we
are not surprised at his defeat, for we presume
the democrats are as familiar with the cause Of
his opposition to Gen. Dodge, as we are. A
| man who allows himself to take position OF
hostility to another, because his aspirations for
Office cannot be gratifed in all particulars, is
poorly adapted 10 represent party or county in
a deberative body.
As to the course Of the " Plaindeaer" we
are not at all surprised at it. Having some lit
tie knowledge of the reasons for establishing
that paper, we never had any confidence in its
political integrity and therefore are not sur
prised at its course. After few more efforts
at Reorganization, the sterling democracy Of
Lee county. will be pretty apt to drop it, as they
would hot potatoe.
