Hon. ThOS. l.. Harris.

This distinguished gentleman has written
letter to the democracy of the sixth dis
trct. 1t is a stirring and eloquent appeal
to the Hearts of his people. The lett0r ex-
plains the position Of its author, who is still
feeble in health and unable to conduct an
active canvass. He, therefore. adopts the
less popular, but under the circumstances Of
his case, perfectly satisfactory course of ad-
dressing, his constituency through the press.
When it is remembered that it is in the hard
fought Lccompton battles that Col. Harris
LOST his health, in the cause of the people of
Kansas, against their oppressors, who can
doubt that he will be excused the fatigue of
the stump, and be quietly but triumphantly
returned to his seat in Congress? He
should be reelected without opposition :;
and so he will be, virtually. The people Of
the entire State, of the whole country, ex-
pect and demand this Let the invincible
democracy of the sixth district close round
their gallant leader and see if they cannot
secure for him ever vote that shall be polled.
And not only that, but realize the patriotic
aspiration expressed in this letter-that is,
that not one representative in all the dis
trict. opposed to Douglas, be given seat in
the legislature.

A Last Appeal.

Illinois is now justly regarded by the
whole country as the great central battle
ground, the turning point upon which de-
ponds the longer existence or final overthrow
of the Republican party. Defeated in this
contest, the republican party goes out of ex-
istence, as the election of Wise, in virginia,
few years ago, was the death knei of
know no;hingisrn. Unless that party can
take with them the entire North West, it
can never nope to succeed in presidential
election. Indiana has already spoken, and
although fighting under heavy disadvanta-
geS, remains firm. Let Illinois now speak
in thunder tones for the democracy, and
the hopes of republicansm are extinct
Henceforth the party must enter into new
combinations, and assume a new name
Thus the eyes Of the " hole country are up
on us. Let us DO our duty.

DOUGLAS and Democracy.

On Tuesday, the I'd day of November
next, will be the most important election
that has ever taken place IN the State of ii
inois. 1t is then 8 matter Of the greatest
Importance that every man who is entitled
should 60 to the polls and vote.
Let it be known that voting fer WILLIAM
CoGswEIL and S. c. COLLINS is voting for
these men is voting against Douglas. Every
man who desires to vote for Senator Douglas
should bear this in mind, that the Leg sla-
turc elects the Senator, and by voting for
Cogswell and Collins they are helping to
elect Stephen A. Douglas.
No man should vote for other men on &C
count of personal friendship, nor against
Cogswell and Collins, on account Of person
al animosity Let the friends Of Senator
Douglas bear this in mind, that the only way
to elect Douglas is by eecting members Of
the Legislature who will vote for him.
Campbell and Kick are sworn to do all in
their power to defeat Douglas.
a vote, therefore, which will help Camp
bell and IIick, will be vote against Stephen
A. Douglas, and every vote which will help
Cogswell and Collins will be vote for 5. A.
Douglas. Every Democrat should see that
this matter is fully understood. Remember,
too. that the following is the
REGULAR DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

This belief has grown out of the fact that its

Catholics, Read.

1t appears Judge Douglas and Lady stayed
last Sunday at Peoria-Ie happened on the
same day the Catholic Bishop of the discese
was there and administered the rite of con-
firmation; and Mis-. Douglas, being Cath
olic, attended that church. Upon this the
Chicago Press, the organ of republicanism
in Illinois, with much other like ribaldry,
remarks as follows:
This is not the first time that Democracy
and Popery have hnnted in couples. They
are the natural allies of Slavery, and as such
must sink or swim together. They are both
working IN this canvass as though it were
lie and death struggle. Catholicism is
furnishing the materials for gigantic
scheme OF fraudulent voting on Tuesday
next, that Democracy and Slavery may tri-
uRph over the Will Of the people.

The Roorback about ssThe Celtic 1hSa.

SlOn.c
The Chicago Press has devoted most its
attention for the last week to manufacturing
letters from the interior to prop up its great
Roorhack about the importation of voters
by the friends of Senator Douglas Two or
three of these letters appear daily in the
Press and Tribune, but thus far not one has
borne signature Of either responsible or
irresponsible man. One ofthese letters pur.
ports to be from La Sale, announcing that
hundred or two Irishmen have been taken
from La Sale to the middle counties to vote.
Now, this wsuld be a smart operation, in
deed Fifty votes may decide the contest
in this representative district. If Grundy
and Livingston give small democratic ma.
jorities, as our friends assure us:they will, our
chance is at least even to carry this district,
for all parties admit the contest in this coun.
ty will be close. Under such circumstances
would the democrats of LaSalle be such fools
as to send their voters to the interior?
ltappears an agent of the Central Railroad
has hired few hands in St. Louis to put
that road in repair prior to the advent of
of cold weather. This was seized upon, and
an immense blow made over it, that the Gen.
trail Railroad is aiding Douglas in importing
voters. All the railroad companies in the
State have from 80 to 500 hands each
that are constantly passing back and forth
from point tie point where their labor is
needed. Whenever load Of these hands
pass from one locality to another, immedi.
ately the cry is set up of "Importations ~

scheme Of fraud by the republicans, and to
