u The Republicans of Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois are thoroughly aroused. From Cairo
70 Chicago, Illinois is in one blaze of Repab-
lican enthusiasm and excitement. Throughout
her entire extent Ohio is equally aroused and
grand Republican triumph, full and complete,
will be the result. The two faced, Popular
Sovereignty and Dred Scott Democracy, will be
wiped out in these States. Shall Iowa falter in
her devotion to free principles! Shall the Re-
publicans, by their want of devotion to the
great principles they have espoused, by the want
of zeal aud lack Of industry, allow our State to
fall back into the slough Of Locofocoism. We
trust not. We trust that our friends see and
feel the importance of this contest and are
fully awake to the magnitude Of the issues, and
that they will prove themselves worthy TO be
named with those Of Illinois, by achieving "a
thorough and complete victory. .,-

As this lying article is printed in the form Of

be on their guard against imposition. We con.
slider the man who would circulate this string

people covered superficial area Of acres, and
they were packed in the streets and in the

roof of the west end Of the market house was
fringed with men; windows were chinked with
human bodies; everywhere the vision wandered
great popular currents flooded the streets in
ianumerable hosts, until sense wearied in con-
templating the animated mass.

show the desperate straits Of the party and III,
longing OF the hungry cormorants for office ane
spoils. Tie Gazette and ito co-laborers ba,.
made 'every description of charge, touching
State affairs, upon the Republican administers
ton, which their ingenuity could devise.
They have asserted positively that $3.50, 900
have already been expended on the Lun.tie
Asylum AZ Dit. Pleasant and that it will cost from
100000 to $4,000, 900 to complete it. We
have shown from the record that it has only
cost s25O.Ooo all told so far, and is likely to bs
completed for this sum-that the building ia no
larger thnn required by the necessities of the
State and no more expensive than was neces-
sary to properly carry out the benevolent pur-
poses of its erection. That the appropria tons
have been nj animously voted for in the leeisla.
ture aud universally approved BY the people of
the State.
They have charged that Mathew L. Norris.
State Treasurer, was defaulter and had plum
dered the State largely. We have shown that
he has honestly and faithfully accounted for
every dollar in his hands, and that bis securities
are ample and sufficient to project the State to
the end of his official term.
They have charged that the State was bank
rupt-that the Republican Administration had
run it in debt $500, 900. We have shown from
the official record that with all the extra charges
upon the Treasury, including large appropris-
tons for Blind and Lunatc Asylums, Agricul-
Eural College, State Penitentiary, Extra Sessions
Of the Legislature, adoption of the New Con-
stitution and the creation of new Judicial Dis
