@There is just now q very warm con-
test going on in the political world OF Illi-
nois. We have never had its equal here,
un less it was in 1870 when we ran wild
over our own iavorite candidate. DOUGLAS
on the one hand with his glowing fire, ever
famed BY his ambition, and indomitatible
energy, and on the other TRUMBULL plies
the strokes thick and fast upon his colleague
probing his bleeding wounds, and setting
him before the people in the light of his
glaring inconsistencies. and terrible anti
cedents. Then comes the ardent, eloquent,
and irresistible ABE LINCOLN. He has a
heart for the work and at it he goes with q
right good will. He is following the "Little
Giant" in through all bis ramifcations, and
efectually removing all tracks of the
"Giant" only leaving the Little.
There is great revolution going on in
that State. The BUCHANAN branch of the
Democracy are left in the shade. We never
hear of them. There can be no mistake
ia the future of Illinois. The Republicans
will carry the State with the greatest ease.
In fact they cant hep it, it is destiny.

"Kansas has voted upon this land pro-
position and refuses to accept the terms Of
fered, and therefore, remains out OF the
Union. This conclusively establishes the
fact that Kansas is ultra anti-slavery. This
being the case the best thing for US is for
her to stay out of the Union. Her coming
in would only give an accession of strength
to our enemies. If she should stay out fos-
ever, all the better.''
But they tell US here in the North that
they are as much opposed to Slavery as we,
but that they do not wish to interfere with
it, out leave it to the people of the Slave
States; but is this tie fact. In the great
contest now going on in Missouri, where do
we find the sympathies of these pretended
enemies of Slavery. There is not Demo-
cratic paper in the Union from BUcHAsAN's
Organ( The Union) down ,down to The Gazette
d Citizen bot rejoiced over .he defeat OF
F. p. BLAIR, when the issue was Slavery
or freedom. Even DoUcLAs, the great
champion of the better half Of Democracy,
growsju jubiIant on the stump over the defeat
of the emancipationists of Nj ssouri. The
Democracy of our State resolve to punish
Kansas, contrary to precedent, for lot con-
senting to slavery, and resolve that she
shall not be admitted as a tState with less
than $4,000 inhabitants, yet Florida, be-
cause all right on the Slavery question, is a
State with eqIal rights with others
and yet cast only IL, l9I votes at the last
general election, being less than the ma
jority against Lecompton in Kansas. Yet
Kansas must await the pleasure of this
power, and stay out of the Union for want
of loyalty to Slavery. Here are few
stubborn facts for the Democracy to ponder
well Our prayer is that they may realize
these facts with all their force; that Their
eyes may be opened to see the perversion
of their party, and that they may be led to
shun the fate of the unhalowed Slave party
1t will not do to judge this party by promise
but by deed. They have deceived the people
g. will do so again, Intact are now doing so.

TIf you are sick, the probability is that
the root of your suffering is in the stomach
From weak stomach proceed dyspepsia,
languor, oppression in the diaphragm, jaun-
dice, headache, nausea, bodily weakness,
dmness of sight, heartburn, costveness
dysentery, and legion of other tormenting
diseases. lndigeition produces thin blood,
and therefore destrUGs the strength and
vigor OF the system. TO restore the tone
OF the stomach, and enable it to throw of
and dismiss forever all these tormenting
and dangerous complaints, nothing is nec-

0TThe editor of The Democratic Era
says, that" The CHRONICLE bears testimony
to the honesty of the Democratic caudi-
dates" So would The Era bear testimony
to the honesty of our candidates if it only
had the moral honesty TO do SO. We believe
the candida ates in the field are all honest
men, ard good men; ard further we believe
that we will lose nothing by comparison.-
Yet, let it be understood that we will not
be found assailing private character unless
that character be bad and the public is like
ly to suffer thereby. Neither party IN this
county can make any thing by abusing the
opposition candidates, and if policy was our
only guide, we would not do it. What says
THE Era to dropping "slang style" and
taking a higher stand in newspaperdom!-
The example would be good.

ty-BUcHANAN's Home. He has already
served two terms in that body Ewith great
credit to himself, and profit to his consti-

0TJoHN HUTcHINs. of Trumbull county'
has been nominated for Congress in the
XXth District, the seat at present filled by
Mr.. GID DIEGs, the gray-huired "father of
the House." On account Of his failing
health and extreme age, his friends thought
it best that he should be permitted to re-
tire from the turmoils Of pub lie life, but
the old hero expressed a willingness to
"die with the harness on" Glorious old
man. Long years hence. when he has
gone TO rest with the fathers, those that
come after him will point with admiration
to that glowing sentiment and exclaim,
"There we're giants IN those days"
Mr.. GIDDIsGs, although he has led
long and stormy political life, has never
been an office-seeker. His highest ambi-
tion has been the privilege of representing
his felow-citizens of the XXth District in
the popular branch Of Congress. He has
always been an ardent Anti-Savery man.
Some of us may think him too ultra, but
we must accord him sincere and a. COED
and great man. The duty of administering
the oath to the Speaker, after he is chosen
has formerly devolved upon Mr.. GIDDrses,
he being the Oldest member.

Mr.. EDITOR: The Camp was raised on
yesterday morning, after FIVE days sojourn
in the wilderness in perfect peace end the
greatest harmony. Joy reigned supreme
throughout the immense congregation, and
the closing scene was remarkably imposing.
After service by the Rev. McAbee when
the hour arrived for "breaking up," the
whole sssemblage, comprising thousands OF
persons formed into double file and paraded
The encam2ment, returning to the stand'
and then passed up the centre aisle, at the
bead of which were stationed the faithful
ministers, with whom each and AL took a
fearful and painful parting. Afterwards
they formed in groups, to sing songs of
Zion and shout hallelujahs for their timely
redemption. Numbers forsook the paths
of vice, and took up the cross to follow in
the sn aght and narrow way that they might
live the life everlasting. There was no
jesting there, no words of idle mirth, the
lips were sealed to folly while tie throbbing
heart communed with God. All the vaDities
of life were forgotten and under the excit-
ment OF religion, the little band of Israel
seemed to have entered upon a new exist.
ence. With happy, regenerate hearts they
returned to their homes, bearing in blissful
remembrance the joys OF their parting
Good order was observed both day and night
on the grounds during the entire encamp-
ment. Some few persons, devoid of all
character, and upon whom a good name
hangs like "giant's cloak upon a dwarfish
thief" endeavored to fncite few grovel-
ing minds to vile acts, but vigilant and
efficient police "nipt it in the bud" while
the poor brainless dupes were left to suffer
the penalty of the law. Rev. Weekly

They deserve great credit for their success
and have left record terrifying to tie
vagabonds of community, besides establish

The Supreme JudgeShin.

Since some of the Republicans have
taken great pains to boast of their candi.
date for bulge of the Supreme Court as a
model candidate, we inquire who is Willism
" Peckl He is not the eminent lawyer
of Belmont county, who has appeared occa-
sionally for many years in the u. S. Cir
cult Court and in the Supreme Court at
Columbus. That gentleman IS
name is Daniel Peck, and no relation, as
we are told, of the Republican nominee
What is known, then, of William v. Peck
Was he ever known to have practiced law,
or to have appeared to argue cause in the
highest Court of the Statel +
But it is said he is Common Pleas Judge,
and was elected without opposition. So
have other gentlemen been elected to the
Common Pleas bench without opposition,
whose names will never be thought Of for
position on the bench of the Supreme
Court. What evidence have we of Judge
Peck's qualifications for the high
est Iud ieia, Office in the State!-O Ohio States
man.
That same "eminent lawyer of Belmont
county" whom you have called upon the
stand will tell you, Mr.. Statesman, that
there is no aber mai upon the Supreme
Bench than WIN. v. PECK; and if our
me mory serves US right. DANIEL PECK sta
ted upon the streets of st. Clairsville. when
the news of the nomination of WIN. V.
PECK reached here, that there was no man
in the State who would confer more honor
and dignity upon the Supreme Bench than
this Litchfield lawyer, whom you sneering-
ly .llude to as "Common Pleas Judge who
was elected without opposition" DANIEL
PECK bore fitting testimony to the pre-
eminent ability of Judge WIN. v. PEcK-
He commended his superior wisdom, his
great care, and spoke of him as one Of the
most acute and clear-headed lawyers in the
State. DANIEL PECK is acquainted with
Judge PECK personally, and knows whereof
he speaks.
The effort of The Statesman and its echo,
The NeUdrk Advocate, to make votes for
Judge BARTLEY by decrying his opponent
will be miserable failure. Judge PECK
is as sound lawyer anc Judge as any man
within the Democratic ranks in Ohio, and
if the ides OF October do not satisfy Judge
BARTLEY and his friends of this fact, to the
tune of thousands, we are very much mis-
taken. Judge BARTLEY's ultra sentiments
on the slavery question are well understood
hereabou.s He stands on the record COM
mitted to the Dred Scott decision, in all its
most hideous features. having delivered an
opin ion himself coinciding with that oGious
decision.
That The Ohio Statesman would tell all
manner of lies against the Republican
ticket we were fully aware-we well know
its decided penchant for lying-but that it
should, in It's mad folly, ask such an absurd
question as "Who is William v. Peck.'
we were not prepared for. After the elec.
tion its interrogatory will be changed to
"Where is THOMAS w. BARTLEY!"
