ton, Illinois, Judge Douglas spoke to an
audience of two thousand persons. AS soon
as he retired loud calls were made for the
Hon. Abraham Lincoln. Mr. L. held back

dience for the purpose of saying that he would
take an early opportunity to give bis views to
the citizens of that place regarding the mat
ters spoken of in Judge Douglass speech

damaging the grain The barn of Mr.. John
f. Herr, in the North Ward of DanvilIe, was
struck by lightning, and two valuable horses

The Hush OF the Hungry.

Washington will be crowded TO q greater
extent than usual during the coming winter
with furnishing and clamorous applicants for
c6hos. All the defeated Lecompton candi-
dates for Congress and for State Offices in
the elections Of the past season will be on
hand in person or by their agents, demand
ing their pay from the hands Of the Exscu.
tive from the Golfers Of the National Treasu-
~. These negro-hating patriots will flock
in in hungry swarms from every Northern
State, from Maine to Nebraska. They will
line the sidewalks Of the Avenue throughout
ito long extent, from the White House to the
Capitol, and prefer their piteous petitions to
the members Of Congress for their endorse.
ment. they will climb the steps to the Treas
ury Department to present their applications,
and they will bore the heads Of each separate
department with full account Of their la
bors, their sacrifices and their merits. And,
finally, they will turn their footsteps to the
White House to pour into the sympathising
oar Of this Great Nations Chief the won
drous story oftheir valor and their need.
But in addition to these separate scores Of
disappointed seekers Of Office in a dozen
States or more, the entire Buchanan party Of
Illinois will march up to the White House in
solid phalanx and claim the just due Of each
valiant hero Of the devoted band. The ct
acknowledgment of their loyalty and their
eminent service can be nothing less than a
paying Office for the entire remnant Of the
Presidential term.
There can be no evasion Of their claims tc
of6ce, for the refusal Of the President to re-
ward each one Of the $500 voters who sus
tanned him in Illinois, will not only destro,
his party in that State, but ii would ruin hi
prospects 10 every other State. He canno
hope for the support of any man hsncsfortl
unless he holds out the prospect Of futur
reward for such support. The Reputation
OF the pressing claims Of the $500 Sucker
who supported him in the late canvass, woul
destroy all confidence in his sense OF graft
tude, and in the certainty Of reward for fu
ture service. We think ii settled questo
therefore, that every man Of the entire $50
10 entitled to an Office, and We presume the
are oil making their arrangements to ents
the public service with as little delay as prac
tiosble.

John B. Haskins, the gallant Anti-Le-
compton candidate in the Ninth Congress
sional district Of New York, In the late dis
cussion describes John Van Buren,, who late
" traduoed him in public speech ct Tam
many Hall. Prince John has at last found
an artist worthy Of his physiognomy, as we
are glad to see from the following cartoon:
John Van Buren,, Mr.. Haskins said, is a
man who does not often come among as IN
the country, but mostly confines his attention
to the cities; but now, being promised Tor
eign mission by Mr.. Buchanan, in case OF my
defeat, he comes out here to denounce me
and my course in Congress. But am will
ling to compare my course with his; in ls46
battled for Cass and Butler, and helped
turn out John Van Buren, and his friends
from the Central Committee. They went TO
Lispenard street and formed another commit
tee; and they went to Buffalo and nominated
ticket which, though not elected, yet an
swered the purpose Of the migrate Van Blu
rem, and defeated Cass and Butler. They
then passed resolutions refusing to admit
any more slave territory; and the doctrines
they then battled for are the doctrines Of the
Republican party to-day. But Mr.. Van Blu
rem has changed, and now goes for the new
doctrines Of James Buchanan, to force slave
ry upon the free soil Of Kansas. Who is it
that stands clear upon the recorde II John
Paulding Of Revolutionary memory had had
the blood OF the Van Burens in his veins, he
would have sold his country for the British
gold which Andre offered to him in such
abundance; he would have given up the lib
erty OF his country for his own selfish ends.
few nights ago Mr.. Van Buren,, in refer
ring to the fact Of Andres capture, said that
If were searched, he had no doubt but a
pass from Seward would be found in the heel
of my boot. can only say that if he comes
in proper proximity to the toe OF my boot,
viii give him pass that will greatly accele-
rate his movements in turning some one Of
his many political summersets. If there is a
political prostitute in this country that has
sunk lower than any other-one that has le.
himself on every hand for selfish purposes to
play at fortunes tricks, it 10 this sef-same
stharlequin Politician" John Van Buren,
Had he been honest and true, he might now
have sat in the Senate OF the United States
but he sold himself to the South. Along
with Mr.. Buchanan he has turned his back to
the North and his face to the Suuth-a and lei

Russian Gear, which shows that not even
Emperors are exempt from the operations Of
sharpers
"The Emperor Alexander gave large or
der for the manufacture OF cannon balls to
some concern at Helsingfors, = port OF the
Gulf. They completed the order, stacked up
and delivered the balls, received their pay,
and put the money in their pockets. The
Emperor being there one day, took it into
his head to inspect the balls. Taking one
up he discovered it to DO exceedingly light
for iron, and taking out his knife, scraped
it, and behold it was wooden ball painted
black, 20 was the entire lot. He caused the
arrest Of the swindlors, and they were trans
