PRICE TWO CENTS


MR. DoUGLAs.-Thc friends of Mr.. Douglas had
procession &c, at Chicago on Wednesday evening
last IN honor OF the recent victory In the course
Of his speech, Mr.. Douglas said:
From the day that Illinois entered this confed-
eracy, up to this time she has cast her vote for the
democratic candidates for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency in every succeeding election; and yet
Won have been told that the only State that never
did fail to stand by the democratic party and the
democratic organization, ard vote for the demo-
cratic PRESIDE is to be read out of the demo
cratic party by those States who have all gone abo-
ltion.
Now my friends, the result in this State, CON
trasted with the disasters in others, furnishes les
son by which all may profit in the future. Let the
bitterness that has been excited-let the passions
that have been sroused-be buried with the contest
out OF which they arose. Cheers. Let meet
our tellOw-citiZens with whom we differ in politics
in the same manner as if there had been no angry
feelings growing out of this contest Let us now
begin to consolidate our party-begin to combine
our forces for the victory, in order that may
present a bold, united and invucible front to aboli
tonism, and all its allied sms. Cheers If wise
and patriotic counses now prevail, the great battle
OF popular sovereignty is fought and the victory
forever. Cheers But if we expect to maintain
our liberties rs our fathers have transmitted them
to us etus be vigilant, watchful, preserving
organization, and ever ready to present united,
irresistible front to the common enemy, whenever
he shall make his appearance.
selt-mould her own institutions according to her
own wishes, and then mind her own business, and
let every other State do the same thing, and then
we will have peace and harmony among the differ
ent States of this Union. Let us discard forever
that fatal heresy which tells us that this Union
divided into free and slave States as our fathers
made it, cannot endure; let that fatal heresy
which says that these States must all become
free or all become save-must be all the one
thing or all the other, be banished forever.
[Cheers.
On the contrary, let the great principle 5f popu-
lar sovereignty-that great principle. of State
rights and State sovereignty-prevai which de
clares the right of the people of each State and
each Territory to manage its affairs in its
way, subject only to the constitution of the United
States. [Cheersl When that principle shall be
recognised and obeyed by the American people
North and South, there will be peace and harmony
and fraternity among the States of this confedera-
cy; but so long as that monstrous political heresy
shall prevail, that the North must combine against
the South to abolish slavery everywhere, and that
the South must combine against the North to estab-
lish iteverywhere that there must be sectional strife
between the South and the North for the ascen-
dancy-so long there will be discOrd and hatred
between the different sections of the Union. APP

hounderings followed, which were fast bringing
matters to a crisis, when the battle ended by
the arrival of another man in boat, who had wit

1t is remarkable fact that more than one-half
of this heavy amount is required for transportation,
and Secretary Floyd will present some interesting
data going to establish the economy of Railroad
transportation for the Government. For period Of
hveyears preceding the Both June last, the Army of
the United States numbered, on an average, 1900
men, rank and file, and the cost of transportation
was SlOOO0O00, or two millions of dollars annual
ly. For the term of five years Immediately preced-
ing the first named period the average size of the
army was 5000 men, rank and file and the cost of
transportation was only S7sO,OO0, or one hundred
and tifty-sx thousand dollars per annum. During
the period last named, the transportation was prin
cipaly in the States, and by steamboat or ruiroud
conveyance Now it is in the Territories, and by
wagons drawn by forty-six thousand oxen and hun
dreds of mule teams-a difference between the two
