MindOO Split In Illinois.

IN session lor the past two days, at Har.
mony Hall, in this city. Nearly two
hundred delegates from various portions
of the State have been in Attendance.
We understand they had very stor.
my time yesterday afternoon. The
Council is divided on the Jonathan and
Sam question. The Jona,hans, who we're
frs, started in this city by gentleman
who was candidate for high official
position, at the latc city election, ap.
pear to be in the ascendant.
The Sans are Anli.Forcign and Anti.
Catholic. The Jonnlhans are Anti.
Slavery, but not against forcigncrs.-
They will admit all foreigners who disa.
vow temporal allegiance to the Pope.
The Sans are backed up by Judge
Douglas, who was yesterday visited BY
large numbers Of the members OF the order
OF Pro.slavery tendencies, who are dele.
gates from the southern part Of the State.
IL, cvinces great interest ia the pro.
grcss Of Sam, on account of what that
gentleman has areaIy done in making
Kansas slave State.
The Jonathans, however, are taking
the lead in this city. Already large
numbers Of Germans, English, Scotch,
an! lri,h, have joined them, and they
promise to swallow up Sam completely.

Hunkcr Wings, Old Hunker Democrats,
and OIL lo5ies generally, with JuIge
Douglas to cement the whole if posi-.
bic into one mass, in order to revenge
himself upon the forei gners, who arc
ins,inclively opposed to his Pro- slavery
principles. and who can never be got to
sanction the ininquily of maxim, slave
States out OF soil once consecraled to
Freedom.
A great battle has been fought, and n
glorious victory won. The fight that
has been going on in the IIindoo Grand
Council for several days past, resulted
in the com plcte discontinue of Judge
Douglas, who WAS lobby member AMI
pulled all the wires in his power for
Atchison and the armed banl Of assas.

Jonathan has done well so far Let
his next move bs to take off the secrecy
to his proceedings AMI let us have an
open field and free fight against the
men wEo have violated the freedom OF
the Press and the sancti,y Of the ballot
box in Kansas.
Judge Douglas hoped to keep up tho
Hindoos. who were the tools of the
slave power. This would secure him
tha influence of the foreigners in the free
States, while his friends in the slave
States would give him the Hindoos. But,
in Illinois, Hindooism is as dead as
Douglas"
OF Jonathanism we know nothing,
save that several foreigners, who have
never voted anything but Democratic
ticket, tell us that it is an immensely
liberal march from Hindooism. and is
Objectionable only in lis secrecy. We
never expect to belong to any secret po.
lticaI organization; but, since the re.
cent outrage ia Kansas, we can fight
good battle outside for any organiza.

erty, and that makes the alien.born who
abjures all allegiance TO foreign powers

Kansas must be exterm!natcd, come

Ex.Alderman Throop was the first
man to take Sam by the throat. Sam
beat Mr.. Throop for Mayor, and also
for Sewerage Commissioner, because hc
was opposed to slavery and prescribing
foreigners. You have killed him this
time, Throop! That charter you got
from Ohio did the thing. Senator Chase
could not have sent his club here TO
knock out the brains Of his enemy.

and join you with his Congressman elect
on his back, must be a glorious conso.

They cannot hold out long. And then.
to think that Hurlburt, Of Belvidere, al.
ter all his opposition, after his eloquent
recital Of the speech prompted him by
Judge Douglas, should go home with
