STATE and the Influences the Administration con
tianalIy bring to bear against him, the triumph will
i DO without a parallel in our political annals,
In 1856. but fol the stupendous efforts Of Senator
| Douglas, and the friends who are now supporting
him the State Of Illinois would have cast her elect
/ oral vote for Col. Fremont, the Black Republican
/ candidate for the Presidency. This fact was uni
yersaly admitted at the time, and will not be dis
puted now AT the present juncture he has not only
to contend against the Black Republicans, so for
midahe in 1856, bat against the whole power of the
Administration he so materially aided to place in
office, which is unsparngly welded to his detrment.
Hence, it is clear that he is lighting against odds of
the most wonderful character. He has enemies with
out his own party and enemies within his own party.
In Illinois no Douglas Democrat is permitted to
hold Federal Office. Let it be known at head quar-
tiers that he favors the return of Douglas to the SEN
ate, and the official guotne is at once set to work
and the official head of the unfortunate oficehoIder
is at once taken of. Speaking of this wholesale de-
csptaton for opinions sake, when there was no
party principle involved, the Washington States-a
strong and unflnching Democratic journal-in its
issue of the 2lst inst. after rearkng that the Adolf
ton Governor of Ohio, Salmon P. Chase, was about
to repair to Illinois and take the stump in opposition
to Douglas, says: although the powers in Washing
ton aid the unhoIy alliance to very considerable de-
gree by prescription and The guiotne, it is not yet
apparent that such has been of much service to the
Infamous combination. Such yindictiYe spirit of
personal opposition to the men who stand the Gin
cnnati platform, has had different effect than the
one intended. The people are not to be ntmidated.
When they behold such highhanded outrages on the
right of opinion within the State men who do not
generally mix in politics cannot refrain from expires
sing their indignation The people cannot, will not
and should not, quietly look while the first rights
Of citizenship are being prescribed and the broadcast
plank Of the Democratic platform is being shivered
into splinters. That the people indignant, and
nobly express their views in public, have excellent
proof-pf0of which recoils with immense force on the
shallow and shortsghted policy which leads the
powers il this city to remove the officials in Illinois
for simple adherence to the doctrines laid down for
the guidance Of every Democrat, during the Buchan-
an Administration, by the Cincinnati Convention
Instances Of popular revolt against what the Pres.
dent twenty years ago proclaimed to be 'papable
tyranny are significant"
The Washington States then goes on to specify or
mention nearly one hundred removals in Illinois, by
the President soleyo account of the preference ex
pressed by the late incumbents for Senator Douglas
and proceeds to comment in this wise "Ths is
toerably long list Of the guiIlotned 1t is one salts
faction however to know that they have ever been
Democrats, and that their heads have fallen on the
Cincinnati platform on the other hand it is notori
Gus that those who have been promoted tohe places
thus vacated have openly expressed preference for
the doctrines Of Lincoln aud Trumbull and adyoca,
ted the election Of Black Republicans over the Dem
oeratic nominees
This is rather strong auimadyerson, but as it
the political metropolis Of the confederacy we hope
the administration organs Of the South will not pitch
into US very iierceIy forquoting it.
Well the Illinois election takes place next Tues
day, and it is not improbable that the telegraph viii
furnish sufficient returns to enable US to arrive at a
pretty correct Judgment as to the result for pubea
ton on the following morning If not, a day or two
will certainly bring the desired information.
One thing, however, is certain If Douglas is de-
feated Lincoln will be elected if Lincoln is elected
another bitter, INSCRIPTIONS and malignant Abo
ZIONIST will occupy seat the floor of the Senate of
the United States; and the Administration of Mr. |
Buchanan will be responsible for it, because its OBJ
position added to the strength of the Black Repub
licans, will have alone superinduced the result.
