The Illinois Election.

IL Is prOUaDle tDat IN our licAt ISSUE We snail
be able to lay before our readers such returns
from the Illinois election as will show enough
of the result to enable US to determine whether
the true democracy Of that State, have battled
victoriousy or disastrously with.the unholy
alliance of Lecomptontes and Republicans ar
rayed against them The result of no State
election has ever been looked forward to with
such intense interest as is this, for in no prcvi-
Gus countest of the kind have so great and vital
principles been at stake. 1t is to determine
whether a large and intelligent community,
hitherto firm in the faith of which Senator
Douglas is the distinguished expounder, has or
has not been driven into q eesertion of its
conservative sentiments by the insane course of
President in whose election that State was
one of the most Instrumental. By the Illinois
election we are to have demonstrated to what
an extent the base use Of Federal power and
patronage can influence. for evil, the course OF
State politics. This contest will show how
much success sectionallzed President has
achieved in destroying the faith Of the people
of Illinois in the doctrine of Popular Sover-
eighty.
That the dishonest course of the Admins
tration in relation to Kansas has had the effect
to weaken the confidence of the people in ie-
gard to the correctness OF the principles enun-
cated by the Kansas \ ebraska Act. we do
not believe but that popular faith in the sp-
plication of those principles by those now at
the head of government affairs has been de-
stroyed is beyond question the recent
elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio Indiana, Iowa,
fully attest this fact. In Pennsylvania the
fight was generally resolved into battle be-
tween two sectional parties, the Republican
and the Lecompton, and as the result has
shown, the latter has met with an oyerwhem-
ing defeat. The Democracy of Illinois now find
themselves Standing as in 1856 firm upon
the bread platform Of popular sovereignty, and
arrayed against them is a sectional party,
against which Mr.. Buchanan fought unsuc-
cessfully in his own State, and with which he
seeks TO defeat the conservative men of Illinois.
Thus by a violation of plighted faith, he gave
strength to an element against which his party
successfully contended for his own election !;
by the dishonest use Of entrusted power he de-
liberately seeks to add strength to that ele-
ment in another State. The aid he unwilling
ly gave the enemies of true democracy in one
State. he purposely renders in another.
However the Illinois election may have ter
minated, one thing is most certain: the de-
mocracy, the Douglas democracy, is the strong
est one party in that State, and if it is beaten
Mr.. Buchanan's control of Federal favor-seek-
ers and Office holders has proved most perfect,
for to have accomplished such a result, their
alliance with the Republicans must have been
as thorough as their master could have desired
We can hardly believe, however, that the
President has faithful minicns enough in Hi
nos to defeat Douglas. coalesce as readily and
with as much unity as they may.
