The SrHEETs-Ali the rubbish and filth
which for the last year has accumulated
and been thrown into the cutters Of Main
and La Sale streets, is now being thrown in
every direction instead of being carted of.
We would suggest to the city council the
propriety of putting stop to all this, as in
Q short time our streets will be in the same
condition as they were before gravelling.-
II there is any ordinance already on this
subject, why don't the city Marshal put it
force!

The Illinois Senate.

The Danities Of this state and their repub
lican allies have been giving themselves a
great deal of comfort lately in view of state
ment made by some lying Trumbull or Car
penter that of the nine democratic members
that hold over in the Illinois senate, two
were opposed to Douglas. AS Of the twelve
senators to be elected the republicans expect
to elect seven, with the four holding over,
and these two supposed Danites, the
allies would have majority in the Senate,
and could thus defeat the reelection of Sena-
tor Douglas. The State Register, however,
puts an effective damper upon this pretty
scheme and last hope of the allies, by the
following:
DANTE CASING RooRBACK SPOILED.
The DANTE squad have been busy with
story that there are two Of the Democratic
senators who hold over, who will be fennd
in opposition to Douglas. Meesrs. Coffey,
of Washington, and Martin, Of White, are
the gentlemen named. In a recent number
of the Nashville Democrat, Mr. Coffee puts
an extinguisher upon this story, as far as he
is concerned, in letter to Mr.. Osborn, Of
Perry. He says it is utterly without fouR.
daton, and that he is for Douglas first, last,
and all the time" Mr.. Martin also fatty
contradicts the story, as to himself. The
Democratic senators holding over are all for
Douglas, and he must be ignorant Of the state
of things in Illinois, indeed, WHO believes it
possible for the Danites to elect single
member of the senate or house. They have
not the ''ghost of chance" and they know
it-their efforts being directed solely to
taking of, in close districts, a sufficient
number of Democrats from the regular
tickets as to elect the abolition candidates,
who vii! support Lincoln. They are power
less to effect anything, even at this.

Republican Club Nee ting.

This organization held forth in the Court
house on Thursday evening, and As usual
the same old speech rehcarssd, however
with slight variation-Mr. Glover under
took to bring in his old charges against SEN
ator Douglas when Mr.. Armstrong, candidate
for Congress very kindly informed him that
he was laboring under some very great mis-
takes, and thereon posted his highness in re-
gard to certain facts relative to the past
history Of Judge Douglas in this State. AS
Mr.. Armstrong has been a member of the
Legislature number of times and taken
part in advancing all the great works of our
State, he Of course could easily set to right
his highness whose highest aspiration now
accomplished is that Of being mayor Of OF
tawa.
As usual in all these Republican club
meetings held in Ottawa, some interesting
incident happens that places them just whore
they started. On Thursday night was the
following-A young man by the name Of
Newport, from the vicinity of Kiekapoo or
Morris. was allowed to open tho evenings
ceremonies by reading extracts from Lincolns
Speeches and tried to provo that the repub-
lican party were undertaking to sectionalizs
Slavery. He COMPOUNDED the doctrine OF the
Republicans, with the Administration so
much that Mr.. Glover had to answer him in
. way that showed the young man meant
veil but the subject was too complicated for
one Of such limited ability and Information.
The Club are considerably chagrinsd at this
person for making burlesque Of their
meeting but we think be has the advantage
under the absence of any law prohibiting a
man being in his condition.

More Splitting Up.

An out.and-out old live abolitionist has
taken the stump against Washburn In the
co...,na district. The abolitionists in that
,;,tr;c, a.. t swallow Lincoln, and as WASH
burn endorses OLD .ssbe. they oppose him.
Their. are members Of aos,,,itienists in this
county who believe with their brethren IN
the let district. that it were much wiser, TO-
the ultimate triumph Of their principles, that
Lincoln should be defeated than to have
them hopslessly dsbauchsd BY 80 barren
triumph as would be secured by his election.

The YELLOW FEvER.-This pc.tilence is
now raging terribly in the Southern cities.
A writer describes its appearance in Havana
and he says the terrible miasma which eau
ses it is plainly apparent:
1.-THE poison was never more plainly dis
cernable than now q; no one can forget its
smell nor the sinking fog which, as the sun
rises. shoots up and disappears from the hot
harbor, like steam from the locomotive with
out whistle +; for, though all are upon his
track, death gives no warning"

The Republicans all over the state Of New
York are passing resolution: like the follow
ing, which was passed on the 22i inst. at
the republican convention in o. Mai
sons district. This is the doctrine Of the
party at the east. Dare the republican club
of this city, or the Ottawa Republican as
the organ of that club, endorse this resou-
ton? and if they dare not, will they tell US
what is considered republican doctrine in this
quarter on this subject, and whether repub.
licanism in New-York is genuine or spuri-
Gus.
Resolrel, That the republicans Of Oneida,
believe the safety and glory of the Repub-
lie requires that slavery shall not be SUI
fered to extend over a single acre Of new
territory; that no more slave states shall be
added to this Union; and that the. national
government shall be as eEectualy conse-
Grated to Freedom as it has OF late years
been perverted to the purposes of slavery.
