THE CAMPAIGN IN ILLINOIS.
Correspondence of The N Y. Tribune.

Correspondence of The y. Y Tribune.
CHICAGO, Oct. =, 1853.
Many Eastern Republicans have differed from
their party friends of the West in regard to the
course to be pursued toward Douglas. We have
chsrtably believed that they desired to reflect
him, because they feared that his defeat was i'm
possible. But We have never lost confidence in
The belief that time would indicate the wisdom of
our policy. At this moment we regard his over
throw as foregOne conclusion. He is certainly
doomed man. Beyond all doubt the Republicans
will have majority on joint ballot in the next
Legislature, rightfully entitng'them to the choice
of Senator; but it may happen-though that result
is now highly improbable-that Mr.. Douglas will
be, while in minority in the State and in the
Legislature in command Of the Senate, and that
his friends will refuse to 90 into an election That
would keep Lincoln out, but not let Douglas in.
But We shall elect Lincoln by a clean and satlsiac-
tory majority in both Houses Mark the pre-
dictiOn
We are not disposed to holloo before out of the
woods or roar in the ndex-exult before election.
Especially are averse to any exulatlon over our
Eastern friends, because we have not opposed MIR.
Douglas from any Discrimination to union with
all the opponents of the Administration, but be-
cause we felt and knew that we could not repose
confidence in the political integrity of the man.
But he will soon cease to trouble you or US.

The TURKISH CoUsTrRFEIT MoSET.-Mr. W. l.. 5.
Harrison the printer, who made the counterfeit Turk
ish Bank bills and who had been released on bail ap-
peared yesterday morning for examination before the
Mayor. A number of persons were present, among
whom were Mr. j. Hosford Smith, the Turkish Consul,
Turkish gentleman named Lehaydren, and the Dis
trict-Attorney Mr. Harrison stated that the job came
TO him in the regular course of business that it was eI
ecued without the slightest attempt at concealment,
he supposng that the paper notes were abeis for some
sort of Oriental commodities, supposton most rea-
sonable for the notes have not the slightest resem-
bauce TO any sort of paper money ever used in this
country. The discovery of the plan to food the
Ottoman Empire with spurious money particularly
fortunate for in that country they have had any
counterfeit notes and they would have been put into
circulation with the greatest ease without their charsc
ter ever being suspected. The imitation pro-
nounced by the Turkish gentlemen to be excellent,
and the fac simie of the seal of the Sultan good
that its genuineness would probably never have been
Questioned This seal is called the "Toohra," and is
guarded with the strictest care, number OF the
officers of State being specially detailed to lake care OF
that importan instrument The ksmes found on the
premises of Mr. Harrison, and several bales of which
were brought to the Mayors Office, some that were
rejected by Madame Zaifmen account OF some a.
legged mperecons in the limitations. They are printed
on the soft porous kind of psper sometimes called
India paper, and the translation of the inscriptions
on each nose represents that il is the legitimate paper
currency of the Ottoman Empire of the value Of ~
pissers; its authenticity is guaranteed by the
"Toohrs of the Sultan and by the Grand Seal Of the
Minister of the Mint both of which initiated with
great sxactress. The value of genuine "kame "
is 81. and the ingenious Madame Zaifmen had
had in her possession when apprehended spurious
.ksimes" of the purported value of about e.
$50 coo. She had her counterfeit funds concealed
in mattresses and in trunks with false bottoms,
at the time Of her arrest and she would doubtless have
succeeded in introducing them into the country had shs
not shown too gres, anxiety to pass the Custom House

punishment will be, if not death very long term Of
Imprisonment.

MrsREPRKsESTATIos.-Mr. Edward Cunningham,
ali employee in the Quarantine at Staten Island, has
called upon us with request that We would correct
report which prevails in regard to his lately deceased
wife, and which he considers an injury to the men,
DRY Of an estimsble II is said that Mrs. Cum
niugham died of yellow fever but this Mr.. Cunning
ham Indignantly and emphatcally denies. Mrs. Gun
ningham had long been i'll of confirmed consumption,
and to that disease alone in the opinion Of her be-
reayed husband is her death to be attributed To say
or to insinuste that it csused by yellow fever is,
to use the strong expression of Mr. Cunningham, ITO
tarnish her memory. We trust that the denial VIII
put end to all such reflections upon the character OF
that excellent woman.

LAuR. KEEXE's THEArER-Last evening, Gold
smiths comedy, "She Stops to Conquer" was
acted at this house for the first time this sea-
son with excellent success. II is better played
than any other of the old comedies on which Miss
Keene is expendng her energies this season, has been
at this establishment. The Young Marrow" of Mr..
Sothern is one eff his most successful efforts since his
present engagement. and Mr. Jeffersons Tony
Idimpkn is much to be commended. Mr.. and Mrs.
Blake and Miss Keene have appeared so often a.
the Hardcastle Family that their presentations of the
various members of that household already famil
lar to the public. Mr. Peters again exhibited his won
derful power of making character which would be
insignificant in other hands one of the features OF the
play, and his Diggory in this comedy is gem. The
other parts are well filed. and the audience was de-
lighted
The most noticeable point of the evenings PERFORM
ance however was the production for the first tne
of burlesque of the opera of " Fra Diavolo,' in
which Miss Marian Mccarthy assumes the character
of that pleasant and gentlemanly bandit. The play is
the production of an Euclish gentleman who gives his
name as II. j. Byron and played at the Strand
Theaer London few months since. Its fair pro-
portions have been somewhat altered for the Amerl-
can market, but the improvements do not strike the
unprejudiced mind as being overpoweringy brilliant.
In fact, the dialogue throughout is rather feeble
than otherwise and the piece depends for its success
entirely on the efforts of the performers. With the
fate of those hapess reviewers who once walked up the
wrong Byron and came to grief thereby, before our
eyes and wthour critical hat in pesumptuous hand
we beg leave to hunbly suggest to Mr.. II. j. Byron
that t. buresque is weak. Weak is strong word,
perhaps; but we hesitate not. Weak, Mr. b., is the
exact phrase. We trembe, but firm, and shall
look for the first edition of English Dramatists and
Yankee Critics" by the third steamer after the nex.
The piece lacks dash, brilliancy, champagne light
ness, newness and whatever else goes to make up the
indescrbsble requirements Of acceptable burlesque
But it is admirably acted Messrs Jefferson and Peters
as two romantic bandits being excessively and extrav-
agantly provocative Of explosive mirth There is one
scene in particular where Jefferson payeth on the
bones, and Peters periormeth on the tamborine and
beateth the same on his Uranium, and then
e1slteth the said on high, after the manner
of the coored minstrel gentlemen which scene il one
Of the funniest things that has been seen in New-Yok
this season. Miss Mccarthy sings very nicely and
looks very brigandish and picturesque and all that
sort of thing Lamoreux has dance in company
with male person. 80 that with the excellent acting
the fine singing and the admirable dancing, the piece
goes well 1t is not destined to run long, and those
who would see it must not postpone that pleasure too

"Old Rye Whisky" appears to be
President Buchanan's favoritc bcvcr
age, in his old age. This information
is contained in the postscript OF a
letter from congressman Montgomery
Of Pennsylvania, to one of his constlt
ucnts, published in the Boonsville
Clipper, as follows:
"P. S.-Presidcnt Buchanan drinks no
thing stimulating except old rye whisky.
told him you used to have the best that was
ever distilled in our region, and he made mt
promise to see you and get him some if yot
had it, Could You let me have barrel, o'
even half of barrel of the best you even
made? Write me. | will send keg OF II tc

Montgomery will not pass for a
very shrcwd politician. 1t is too evi
dent that he spoke two words for him

BuLLs.-This term which is applied to a
certain confused expression Of ideas, said to
be peculiar to the Irish, we understand is de-
rived from word of similar sound used in
Holland and Belgium for blunder. The class
of blundcrs expressed by the word 90 bull y is
said to be peculiar to the Irish alone, with
what justice we shall presently see.
Some eight or nine years ago, we were
present at temperance meeting in the town
of Newark, in the State Of Delaware, which
was addressed by gentleman, graduate of
one of the Eastern Colleges, who, in giving a
short history of his own life, began in this
wise: g was born in Dauphin Co., Pennsyl-
vania my father died when was but twelve
years of age, and I, being the only male child
of the family crc9m my sister" The speaker
was here slightly interrupted by the mirth of
the audience. This same gentleman is now
editor of very influential journal in one Of
the Eastern cities.
In the same town on q similar occasion, We
heard the Rev. r. ID. Bell, graduate of Yale
College, and residing at present, we believe, in
i auiul,f 70, va, make a very good one
He stated that in his younger days it was Gus
tomary to teach children to drink by giving
them spoonful of whisky and sugar, and
that this was given to children Of from two or
three feet high, up to eight or ten.
4 certain enthusiastic gentleman, once in
describing in our hearing the splendors of a
new hotel, stated that there were, among the
fine things, twelve dozen silter glasses" But
we can find worse bulls in better company
than this none of which have been committed
by Irishmcn, or descendants of Irishmcn.
The official bull Of the late President Tay-
Tor respecting all the world and the rest q
mansind" is too well known to need repeti-
ton.
Milton, in his Paradise Lost, speaks Of
Adam, the goodies, man # sineebo,n,
