VI Ihe ~ i. .4TtOHtes WTllcS as IOllOWS :
CHICAGO, Oct Q, 1853.
Many Eastern Republicans have differed
from their party friends of the West in regard
to the course to be pursued toward Douglass.
We have charitnbly believed that they desired
US to re-elect him, because they feared that his
defeat was impossible. But we have never lost
confidence in the belief that time would indicate
the wisdom of our policy. at this moment we
regard his overthrow as foregone conclusion
He is certainly doomed man. BeyoMd all
doubt the Republicans will have majority on
joint balotin the next Legislature, rightfully
emitting them TO the choice Of Senator; but it.
may happen-t though that result is no8 highly
inprobab le-that Mr.. Douglas will be, while in
a minority in the State and in the Legislature,
III. command of the Senate, and that his friends
will refuse to go into an election. That would
keep Lincoln out, but not let Douglas in. But
we shall elect Lincoln by clean and satisfac-
tory majority in both House. Mark the pre-
diction.
We are not disposed to holloo before out of
the woods, or roar in the index-exult before
election. Especially are we ayerse to any exul-
tation over our Eastern friends, because We have
not opposed Mr.. Douglas from any disinclina-
ton TO a union with all the opponents of the
Administration, but because we felt and knew
that we could not repose confidence in the po-
litical integrity ofthe man. But he will soon
cease to trouble you or us- ILLINOIS.

SNUFF DIPPING" according to q North Caro-

Eighty per cent. of the women of North Caro-.
lima, it says, may be safely put down as snuff

per says of the eighty per cent every five will
use up two ounce paper of snuff per day,

ty of nine hundred and twelve thousand pounds.
As SOME of our readers may not know what
snuff clipping" is, it may be well to explain
that it is rubbing the teeth and gums With snuff,
by means Of stick The sensation produced
is said to be gentle intoxicatiou-the nerves
are excited and tho head made q little giddy.-
Beginners experience the sickness common to a
first attempt at tmoking cigar; voluptuaries-
add little CASTLE soap to the snuff, or allow a
generous quantity of the snuff pure to remain
lodged like quid of tobaccol Yellow Scotch
snuff ispreferred. A Texan paper, the Houston
Telegraph, copying the statement of the North
Carolina paper, believes the number of .dippers,'
exaggerated In Texas, observes the editor,
twenty iveper cent would be a large estimate
of the women of the state who practice the vice
and as for ladies, not ten per. cent. of them
ever use the noxions stick" Those that do
are as easily distinguished as is drunkard
among gentlemen; the sallow complexion, the
wan look, the premature wrinkles, the faded
countenanee which the Clipper of a few years
addiction to the habit is sure to possess, cannot
be mistaken.
