The Result in Illinois.

From the Chicago Journal Friday 5th.
While from all over the Free States, the
tidings come up that the cause of Freedom
and the Right has swept verything as
with an avalanche, we are compelled to
admit that Illinois presents dark spot,
and is ranged on the side Of the Black De-
mocracy.
Senator Douglas boldly took his stand
on the infamous bred Scott Decision, and
the equally shameless heresy that terrific
ries could by urfriendly legislation" sci
at naught the Constitution, and these prin
cipes have triumphed so far as he has sue
ceeded, and that success has been achieved
for him by Republican votes in our State,
and Republican sympathy out of it.
The State apportionment, so grossly un-
just to the North, (fhe Democracy having
refused to re-dstrict IL for the last eight
years, has given Mr.. Douglas an apparent
victory. As an instence: Madison with
1000 votes and Fulton with $500 votes
elect two members each, while the Will
district with 10000 votes, elects three, and
Cook with $4,000 elects four
By the returns, official and estimated the
united Democracy have majority Of five
Sor six in tire House, and three in the Sen
ate, being gain of two in the former and
one in the latter over 1855. Whether the
Administration members Of the latter body
will allow Senator Douglas to be returned
remains to be seen.

The Next Congress.

The next House of representatives. will

have virtually secured, by the November
elections. Thus far, there have been l52

There is hardly room to doubt that New
Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhole Island,
which vote next Spring, will elect unanl-
nous Republican delegations to the next
Congress. This will add 8 to the Opposi
ton column. We hope for a gain of one
in Minnesota. This would make the next
House of Representatives stand, Oppose
ton l2l, leaving the minority, lis, to
the A Administration men, the Douglas Dem
ocrats, aud the South Americans.
1t is safe, therefore to say, that the OPP
position will have good working MAORI

State Assumption Of Farm Mortgages and Bonds


This strange proposition to pledge thu
State to assume the payment of the Farm
Mortgages to Railroad Companies and the
interest on Bonds, meets with more favor
than our readers dream Of TheHproposi-
ton is startling, yet it is sugar-coated, and
there is danger of its adoption at the next
or some future Legislature. Among the
friends of this project are the receivers OF
the Corruption Bonds of 1855, and those
into whose hands such Bonds fell by trans
fer; but the chief movers are better
though worse injured class, being the
men who mortgaged their farms to build
Railroads.
At late meeting committee was APP
pointed 10 report ON the total amount of
Farm Mortgages, and city, county and
town Bonds, which had been issued for
Railroad purposes, which was found to be
about 100000. 1t Is proposed for the
State to lift these mortgages and issue
therefor State Bonds, running thirty or for
ty years, bearing per cent. interest, and
that such State Bonds may be used as a
basis for banking. To provide for paying
this 5 per cent. interest, amounting annu-
ally to over 100000, it is suggested to
tax the Banks about Sl5O,OOG, and the
balance to be raised by tax on Railroads
1t is also proposed to let the swamp lands
be applied on such int est and for sink
ing fund. This is the long and short of
the project. Thus sugar-coaled, honeyed,
and nicely fixed up, the Legislature is to
be induced to swallow the dose; the pub
lie sympathy is to be loudly appealed to
for help to those who, in an evil hour, jeop
ardized their property for Railroad purpo-
SEES. The Railroad interest, the Bank in
tsrest, the holders Of Corruption Bonds.
the good, tue bad, rag, tag and bobtail of
all creation-all are to join tagether in al
rally for State assumption of these farm
mortgages and Bonds. The good effects
of railroads, increase of property and pop
nla ton, and other benefits growing out of
farms for railroads, are all to
be brought in as arguments Cor the State
to release those who mortgagei farms. III
other words, the whole people Of the State
are to be tax ID and jeop1rlizc! for the
so!ly Of tae few who mule bad bargain
in bonding their farms. For almost SIM
ar reasons, the debts Of all men in the
State, contracted for building houses AMI |
farm Improvements, should be released and
the State pay their debts BY issuing
bonds of State in lebtedness-the bonds
to be used for Banking!. The project az
fords an opportunity for bribing members
of the next Legislature. Members of Grant
county, look out for the fate of those who,
in 1856, sold themselves for Railroad
Bonds and mess of eternal infany!
