we have adhered to Oh this question, to give a

TIE CANVASS IN ILLINOIS.
The CANVASS in Illinois, between DOUGLAS
and LINCOLN, the Democracy and the Black
Republicans, still claims and viii continue to
claim large share Of public attention through
out the Union until the question shall be set
tied at the ballOt-box. without indulging in
any bitterness Of speech and without attempt
ing TO revive any Of the causes Of quarrel
heretofore existing between Mr.. DOUeLAs and
he Administration, we shan sndeavor to keep
our readers regulrely advised of the true merits
Of the questions involved in the present con-
test, looking to the future rather than the past,
for the arguments, reasons aad motives that
may control Us as faithful sentinsIs on the
watch towers Of Constitutional independence.
Ia times ike the present, the people desire
The views and opinions Of the leading states
men Of the country, and with the purpose Of
gratifying this desire, We to-day lay before the
readers Of the APPEAL a speech recently de-
liFered By Senator A G.. BROwN, of Miss,
giving his views upon National politics at
large. On the DOUsLAs and LINCOLN quss-
tion, be is both explicit and emphatic, giving
bis unguslihed preferences for The electioa Of
DOUGLAS.
In addition to this, it may Be proper
TO mention that not long since, the Hon. l. 81
BoxHAM, Of South Carolina, member Of Con
grsss from the Eigsfsld, formerly Brooke
District, addressed his constituents, and in the
course OF bis speech alluded to the contest in
Illinois. Deserving that the election for Sen
stor IN that state exeitss general interest, be
thought it would be desirable fJadge BREEsE,
said 70 be an Administration LeeomptoB Demo
eraeoould be elected. But be doubted The policy
Of trying to elect him, as " running two Dem
ocrstie tickets before toe people may give the
Black Republicans a majority On joint ballot
Of the legislature"
The most significant portion, however, of
Mr. BoSHAM's remarks iu this connection,
was where be said that " as between Black
Republican, who says all free States, and down
with the Supreme Court and the Dred Scott
decision, and Judge DOUGLAS, who, however
wrong be was on the Kansas question, man
fully opposes those views, w can but prefer
tie success OF the latter.7 This is assuredly
the plata, sensible, practical view Of the sub
isct, and shows, says the New Orleans DatG,
that Mr. BoEHAM is not hids-bOund in his
notions. 3ot mols-eyed, not a disciple Of the
terapin-sbsll school OF politicians. What
makes this testimony from Mr.. BoSHAM
stronger, is the fact that be, with QUITMAN,
o. the EXTREMIST views OF Southern right and
policy, voted against the English bill in the
last Congress.
Taken in every light in which the question
can be viewed, the triumph Of LINCOLN, as the
leader Of the Black Republicans, over DOUG-
Las, IS to Be deprecated. LINCOLN and his
party are and always heTe been wrong on all
points in which the South feels any interest
O8 al but one or two Mr.. DOUGLAS is aud al
wavs has been right In this contest, then,
the svmpathiss and good wishes Of the Soul
must necessarily be With him.
