Mr.. c. L. VALLAKpIGHAM, the ambitious
young gentleman who has made such long
continued and peFseyering efforts to get into
Congress from the Montgomery district. and
who was SO much eiated during the early
part of the present session by the prospect
that through the operations of partizan feel
ing he would succeed in ousting the Hon.
L. D. Campbell and securing his seat, is
likely to have his hopes again blasted. Late
reports from Washington state that the com
mittee will report in favor of the right Of
Campbell to the seat; and ever should they
report other wise, and the report be adopted,
which is now not very probable, the contes-
tant would only be able to enjoy his honors
during the short session. with bat little pro-
liability of a reelection.

Sandusky 10000; Springfield, 5000. No

A correspondent of the New York Tri-

death.

from Saint Charles, Illinois.
"Times are hard and dull. Produce is

cents. and other things in proportion"
The people OF ST. Louis have taken the
initiatory steps,to erect a suitable monument
in that city to the memory OF the Great

The split in the ranks of the Democracy

The split in the ranks of the Democracy
of Illinois seems to be irreparable.-
There were recently two State Conventions
held at Springfield-one by the Douglas men;
the other by the Buchanan branch of the
party; and the antagonism was SO great that
the speakers of the respective bodies abused
each other without stint in the most approve
ed style of Tammany Hall blackguardisrn.
The Douglas men nominated a ticket, and
the Buchananites resolved to meet on a sub
sequeRt day for that purpose. The Douglas
assemblage was far the most numerously at
tended, and the counties represented greater
by three to one than those of the opposing
body. The Douglas men, however, ~stultified
themselves and injured their cause by passing
resolutions eulogistie of Buchanan. If they
hope to get Republican aid 10 return t.ei,
chief to the Senate, we opine they will have
to change their tune materially in that re-
spect.
