TIE Canvass in Illinois.

The canvass in Illinois is progressing
eloriouslv, and every day Lincoln's chan
ces grow brighter. Douglas is gettiD g
badly worsted. Lincoln is following him
into Egypt dealing him staggering blows;
while Trumbull is already there. Between
these two fires the "Little Giant is being
badly used up. The progress of Lincoln
through the State is a series of triumphal
professions. He has strong hold on the
affections of the people, which "will "teIl in
his favor at the polls. The odds against
hin, is terrible, but We believe he viii over
come it, Thirteen out of twenty-five mem
bers of the Senate "hold over''-eight of
whom are Democrats, and one American.
The Republicans viii therefore have to elect
nine members of the Senate to succeed,
while Douglas will have to elect but .ffue.
The apportionment is a very unjust one al
so-eiving to Northern Illinois with Its
tens of thousands, less than to Southern Il
linois with its thousands. The campaign
is being watched with interest by the peo-
pie everywhere; and the gallant canvass
Lincoln is making exeites the liveliest feel
ings of admiration among all lovers Of
Freedom.

The Plain English of the English Bill
The Mobile Register, in noticing the vote
of Kansas on the English bill, gives the
plain English of the proposition in the fol-
lowing paragraph:
sit will beremembered that, by the terms
of the conference act, it is provided, that in
case the people'of Kansas accept the prop
osition submitted to them by the act, and
thus incidentally ratify the Lecompton Con-
stitution, Kansas is by the fact admitted as
State with her present population; but in
the event of their rejection of the PROPOSE
ton, Kansas is to remain Territory until
she has the requisite population to entitle
her to Representative in Congress. This
constituted the compromise. If Kansas was
not to come in under the Lecompton Con-
stitution as slave State, the South acas to
be compensated By keeping her om as a free
State for an indefinite 'sunsber Of gears"

One Hundred Mil1ionsi

Who can read the remarks of Mr.. Trum-
bull, on the subject of public expenditures,
without a shudder? One Hundred Mill
ions of Dollars per annum expended by a
party who first came into power partly
through deafening cry of extravaganza
against an Administration who expended
only about thirteen millions per annum.-
Let the people look into this matter, and
see if they have not been grossly cheated
and humbugged. Let them see if the pub
lie treasure has not been used to bribe men
to support horde of corrupt party leaders.
And will the people still permit themselves
to be frightened from the investigation of
these things, by the false cry of abolition
ism? Be not deceived. Corruption is
abroad in the Government The fountain
head of the party in power is corrupt, and
the corruption is fast flowing into the army
of Office holders; and unless the tide, which
is deepening and widening, can soon be ar
rested, it will utterly ruin and overthrow
the Republic. Prairie Beacon.

Rights of the People of Territories.
tSnuatter SoYereigntV

The canvass in Illinois beteen Lincoln and
Douglas. has resulted in exposing fully the
arrant humbug of '.Squatter Sovereignty
patented by Douglas. Pushed by the Re-
publicans, Douglas and his adherants have
acknowledged that under the Dred Scott de-
cision which they endorse, the people of a
Territory cannot exclude slavery from their
midst until they come to form a State Con-
stitutioni thus destroying the boasted prin-
ciple of the Nebraska bill 'sthat the people
of Territory should be left perfectly free to
regulate their domestic institutions in their
own way
At Vandalia, ILL.,, on the 18th ult.. Cap
tain Post, prominent Douglas candidate
for nomination to Congress from the 7th
District, disooursed on the subject after the
following fashion:
ssI know, once preached the doctrine.
that the people of Territory had the right,
by the passage of q territorial law, to estab-
lish or exclude slavery. I know that soas
the doctrine formerly maintained by the
Democratic party; 6sa IhaUe become satisfied
that sce soere scrong. III own horse in
Kentucky am at liberty to take that horse
into any Territory of the United States.
Why? Because he IS nay property The case
IS precisely the same s0ith my Niger. The
Constitution of the United States protects
me in the enjoyment of my properly any

That is fiat footed enough, and shows
Just where them Douglasites with their

The Issue.

The great and all-absorbing question at
issue in American politics now, as ever
since the repeal of the Missouri Compro-
mise, is Slavery. This fact cannot be dis
guised nor covered up. Time serving pol
itieians and trieksters may attempt it, but
the attempt will be futile. Parties may
seek to ignore it, but the result viii be
their defeat. Until this question is settled
there can be and should be no other issue.
The public mind will never rest content
until it is satisfied that Slavery is in the
course of ultimate extinction.
On this question two great parties have
been formed-one favoring the extension and
strengthening of Slavery-the other oppos-
ing such extension, and insisting that slave
~ shall be restricted to its present bounds;
and the influence and patronage of ths Gov
ernment removed from its support. Be
tween these two parties there is no middle
ground-no compromise. Either for or
against slayery-Free Labor or Slave Labor.
The issue is direct and square-and there
can be no lodging or Sinking.
Now to promote the interests and success
of these great parties they must extend
their organizations into States, counties and
townships, and the same test be applied in
the election of all ministerial officers of
whatever grade, as in the election of Presi-
dents and Senator's. For it is these local
and minor organizations that give strength
to the National one. The party must have
an organization around which it can rally
at all times.
The Democratic party is the most thor
oughly and efficiently organized party the
world ever saw. The effect of this. organ
ization has been to make it irresistible
Nothing that energy and money could ac-
complish has been left undone to perfect
this organization It is that which enables
them to rally after defeat-turn a rout
into victory. This party is being organ
lied in Kansas now under the immediate
auspices of the Governor and his clique
and through the influence of money and Of
fees. The real adherents of this party in
Kansas are small in numbers; but their
superior organization will enable them to
take advantage of any division in the ranks
of the opposition, to achieve a victory. 1t
behooves well the friends of the Republic
an party to see to it that the Democratic
party does not tssteal march" on them
and be ready for the field while its oppo-
nents are scattered without an organization
or leader. The example of the Democra-
cy in this respect might well be followed
by the Republicans.
If the aim and objects of the Republic
an party are in consonance and harmony
with the views and feelings of majority OF
the people of Kansas-as we believe they
are-it were folly for them to allow the De-
mocracy to achieve victory by means Of
its superior organization.
Let Republicans bear these things in
mind.

ALL ABOUT a WoMAN.-Up at Ports
mouth, Ohio, they have had an amusing
law suit. Three ladies were passing a
store. before which several gentlemen were
stan ling: The storekeeper said one of the
ladies, whose face he had noticed, was not
Mrs. Fl. One of the party said it was,
another said it wasn't. The merchant said
he would give him sack of coffee if he
would 60 and see. He went. saw, returned,
and said the lady was Mrs. II. of a verify.
In the morning he claimed the sack of cof-
fee, sending over horse and cart, when
little sack holding an ounce or two, pre-
pared for the purpose, was laid on the cart
aud duly delivered by the astonished
Holmes. Holmes repaired the store. and
claimed a regular sack of coffee; it was
refused. He brought suit; jury was i'm
paneied and rendered Judgment against
Haytt, ordering him to deliver to Holmes a
fifty pound sack of Java coffee, worth eight
cen cents per pound.-Gi1s- Enquirer

From Pixies Peak---Humbug.

On Tuesday last company of about ff-
ty Missourians passed through Emporia on
their way home from Pixies Peak and the
gold regions of the west. They went out at
time of the first ''fever," and looked rather
the "Worse for wear" They had, however,
generally enjoyed good health. We con-
versed with several of them regarding the
prospect for profitable diggings, and the tes-
timony was universal that ssthe gold would
not pay for the labor of getting it.'' There
were in the company California, Australia
and Georgia miners of long experience, and
they all agreed that t'Pike's Peak was a
great humbug. They found gold in almost
every. place they '.prospected," but always
in very small quantities. While here they
read the statements of Mr., Cantrell. which
we published last week. In their estima-
ton Mr.. Gantrell is trying to deceive the
public for some sinister motive,
The Company prospected at Pixies Peak
and Cherry Greek to their satisfaction, and
then went southwest about ninety miles to
the Santa Christie mountains, In New Mexi-
Co, where gold has lately been discovered.
Here, as at Pixies Peak and Cherry Greek,
they found gold, but in too small quantities
to pay for working. They then turned
their steps homeward fully satisfied to re-
turn.
The Lawrence company were all well,
and we're intending to winter near Taos. in
New Mexico.
Cherry Creek, of which Mr.. Cantrell
speaks, is about thirty-fiEe miles north of
Pixies Peak, and is very small stream,
only about four or FIVE feet in width. Tim
Der. water, grass and game ara abundant in
that region.
We would advise those contemplating a
trip to the ''diggings" to wait until they re-
eeive mole authentic information. Not
withstanding the unfavorable reports brought
by this company, there may still be gold
in that region that viii ''pay for digging
Still, if We were going to dig we should
prefer that some one else should first find
the gold or establish the fact of its existence
in quantities sufficient to .spay-''
