BETTER FROM ILLINoIs.-The Republi-
cans have whipped ont The bogus Democ-
racy on the State Ticket by a majority
of over $500. The Republican State
Treasurer and School Superintendent are
certainly elected. The Peoria Senatorial
District is still in doubt If a RepubIi-
can Senator is elected the Senate will
stand IA Democrats to ii Republicans.
In the House the Democracy have a ma
jority of five. So Douglas Democracy
doesn't amount to much after all. The
Arch Traitor has been repudiated by the
people, but sneaks into the Senate under
the cover Of as infamous an apportion-
ment as the Border Ruffians ever concoc-
ted to force slavery on Kansas. Let us
have no more bowling about the great
Douglas triumph in Illinois. 1t turns
out to be. like the Senator himself. q
cheat and a swindle, which the popular

EIectioneering Extraordinary.

Douglas and the Irish Catholic Bishop in
Peoriq-Mrs Douglas at the Catholic
Ghurek-C Confirmation Of 500 irish
Catholics.
/ Mr.. Douglas is hard pushed. He
turns first to the Americans, whom he has
so shamefully abused. and asks their sup
port and assistance in retaining my place
in the Senate, and then turns and caters
for the vote Of the Jesuits. No other
political contest ever presented a man
STOPPING to SO many expedients in order
to win success.
1t is well known that this Senatorial
district is one Of the closes. in the State,
and it is imperatively necessary for Doug
las to carry it if possible. Hence, contra
ry to previous expectation, seeing that he
is likely to lose it, he visited this city on
Saturday last in company with his wife,
a Catholic, and tho Irish Bishop of Chi
cago. A band Of music was got out, a
procession of Irishmen formed. and the
distinguished visitors escorted to theiI
respective stopping places.
On Sunday our city swarmed with
Irishm en- from all the surrounding ceun-
try, and the announcement that Mrs
Douglas and husband would be in atten-
dance. at the Catholic Church upon the
occasion of the confirmation Of FIVE hun
dred Irish Catholics, by their friend, the
Bishop, created great commotion. The
Church was filed at an early hour, and
so great was the crowd that the whole
street was blockaded. Mrs. d. was es.
certed to the church by her husband ; the
Irish fell back revsrentially, and after
performing her devotions at the altar, she
was assigned seat Of honor by one Of
the priests in attendance. The ceremo
MES, which were very formal and impos-
ing. lasted about three hours.
Mrs. Douglas is Catholic by Trofes-
sion, and her attendance at the Catholic
Church is not matter requiring any
com nent. We believe every person to
be privileged to enjoy his or her belief
unmolested. But when persons religion
is ostentatiously paradsd manifestly for
electioneering purposes-when Catholic
Bishop connives with public man and
politician for the purpose Of securing him
the vote of the people under his priestly
control-we submit that it is time for
public opinion to interposc and cry down
such demagogueism. How happens it
that Mr.. Douglas was suddenly snnounc-
ed 10 arrive in town with Catholic Bish-
op, when he had not been expected, and
how happens it that such an immense pa
rade was made of the fact that Mr.. Doug
las was to be in attendance at the Catho-
lie Church, if the whole plan was not an
arranged one between the Bishop and
Douglas to secure the Catholic vote to the
latter = Peoria Transcript.

EE We are informed that his excel
lency, ~ Gov. Stewart, Of Mo-, went
down the river, from st. Jo., last week.
He passed Doniphan without getting
whipped, although it is said he was in a
good condition for it. The people Of
Missouri should invest their Governor
with ball and chain, to prevent him
from straying off or falling overheard,
when he gets into his mellow moods.
1t is argued by some, that Stewart is
no worse now than he was before he be-
came Governor; for he was drunk when
nominated, drunk when elected, drunk
when inaugurated. and has been drunk
ever since. Perhaps this may be some
excuse for some of the poor fellows wild
acts. Let him have the benefit of it.

TKE Pork BCsiSEss.-We learn that
Mr.. o. Bailey is succeeding finely IN
contracting for hogs. and has already en-
gagged more than the total number he had
anticipated procuring. An effort is being
made, to induce the farmers to believe
that there is but one reliable firm engaged
in the pork business, in Northern Nilsson
ri. and only one that is able to pay cash
down. Other dealers may be able to pay
cash. although they have heretofore ad-
vertised to do so. apd when the farmers
came with their hogs, they were compel
led 10 wait from sixty to ninety days for
their money. Mr.. Bailey is a man who
keeps his own counsel. and does not talk
about the big things he intends doing.
When be undertakes thing, he goes
about doing it, with as little talk as pos
sibls. He brought not several thousand
dollars. to make advances on hogs, but
enough money to buy every hog in any
ak Counties of North Western Missouri,
at good prices, and can commend as much
more as he wants, with scarcely the scratch
Of q pen. Talking about men having
money is an entirely different thing from
paying farmers less than market price
for their hogs, and making them wait
for their money. Many persons were in
dueed to engage their hogs elsewhere, in
consequence of representations to the eff
feet that Mr. Baily had backed down, and
that he could not be prepared to slaughter
and pack, this season. And they con-
tracted to sell at a much lower price than
they could have received by understanding
the trnth Of .fae. matter. Mr.. Bailey will
pa& largely thfsAeason, and will make
spermanent thing Of it. The hog rails
ersshould remember who are their friends.
Mr. Bailey has considerably advanced the
prices of hogs. from what the farmers
were induced to engage their pork at, upon
the representations of others. Instead of
attempting to get hogs for less than their
nArketvalue, by misrepresenting COM
petitors in the trade, he attends to his own
business, and the consequence is, that he,
as well as those Of whom he buys, is the
gamer by it.
We say nothing against any man or
any firm but men should not claim to
possess all the fairness in the country,
whose former transactions do not cores
pond with their present pretensions. Mr..
Bailey is prepared to pay the cash for all
the hogs that can be brought to him /; and
we would advise farmers to sell as soon
as possible. Prices in the East have been
high and the consequence has been, that
every hog that can pass muster. is being
driven TO market. The latest report says
there are moro sellers than buyers, the
latter not being willing to pay as high
as they have been doing. 1t is quite
probable that prices viii shortly fall
Now, while prices are high, is the time
for farmers to sell.
