Stop there M. Union!

The W ashington Union, commenting On
tine late speech OF Gov Se~ard, in which hs
re-avows and endorses the doctrine m
nonneed in theoutset Of the contest of Him
DIS by Mr.. Lincoln, -that''a house divided
against itself cannot stand; that these
states cannot endure spermaneutly hail slave
and half free" Sc, states, with great force
and justice, the following as the logical con-
clusion Of such doctrine:
The war'hc has organized is nc longer TO
embrace the Territories as its chJeciS, but IS
TO include the StE:es-iS to be . war OF So
| ciaI system, and Of domestic institutions -
! Vhe secret fight Of fG.tives from their has
tiers in the South IS to be augmented by dis
-crssiOns in Congress afslapery inihe States,
and signa'zcd by burning dwellings and
murdered families. The war upon slavery
is not to be referred to the confines of the
I Mon; but Is to be brought home to the
heafthstones ofthe Planters.
! The tnton, however, cannot dismiss the
subject without Juggling in the democracy Of
/ Illinois and exhib ting Its maligrity towards
'Iudge Douglas. No, only the entire repub-
lican party, but Forney, Crittendcn, ct d
Douglas democracy of Illinois are enumera'
ted by the Union as those who will array
themselves on the side Of this sectional par
ty in its war on the Constitution and the
Union.
Has base malignancy and lying pervesior
ever Soae further than this? When this doc
trine was announced by Lincoln at Spring
field. in this S ate, WIS not Judge Dough-.
the first to point oct its hellsh Significance
and denounee it IN terms so whitening ant
'caustic, that Lincoln himself dared not il
the entire contest, again avow it? Aud di'
not the Union itself, which new cvince
such a holy honor of the doctrine, sErPer
Lincoln, the father of it, though til
whole contests And that paper now ha
the impudeEce to name Judge ID. and hi
friends as the supporters of the doctrine
, and claims itself to oppose it. Is there n
, way in which the democracy of the countr
can rid itself Of the curse olsuch corrupt
; lying, and disgraceful organ at the seat {
/ government?

The Circuit Court for this county has
been in session since election day, and has
been very busily engaged in cutting down
a very large docket, both of civil and Grim
insl cases. Some % cases, we learn, have
been or are to be brought before the grand
jury, in which thus far sut 10 indictments
have been found SO that that honorable
body must have at least another weeks
work before them.
The following criminal cases have thus

several aliases THE Indictment was for
larceny, Caroline being accused Of having
ordered some body else's trunk to be taken

enough, but the jury sallantly acquitted the
frail one.
The People VS. Henry Eann.-Mann, a
<colored pusson," was accused of stealing
some money out Of the drawer Of Mr.. Ritz,
grocery keeper, and was found with money
in his possession but as MIR. Ritz was unable
to identify It, Mann was acquitted.
The People VS. Thomas Ehhire-Two in

Little Indian, had been living with Ger.

There is no longer any doubt but that the
Republicans have elected their State ticket
by about 1900 majority. We mad hoped to
be able to publish the official returns OF all
the counties to-day but there are still thre e
or four counties to be heard from officially,
So that We must defer the table until next

The Popular Vote.

Mr.. Miller, in 1858, rs also in 1856, was

lion to the Democracy. In the lower coun.
ties of the State. there being no opposition
for the local offices Of sheriff and coroner,
the Democratic vote polied was very light
As it was, in possibly the heaviest vote
ever poled in the State, the Democratic
party have gained nearly &c, 900 on the ma

speech on the sion, some points of which
are thus sketched by the Augusta Coa,titu-
tionalist:
He said be regarded the Kansas exc TO-
ment, throughout the whole controversy, a.
the greetest iinposture ever practiced on in
teligent communities; and he never for
moment believed that the Tcrritors could
under any possible contingency, become

preposterous and delusve in the extreme
The reopeniug OF the African save trade, in
his opinion, could never lie accomplished,
except BY the dissolution # this Union
The free States we've opposed to reopcning
that ,radg, and their r.; reseniatives in Con-
greSs would never voto in favor Of such a
measure. He believed it was the destiny
of African slavery to extend over the whole
world, wherever climate and soil would
warrant it. The black race were providen-
tally designed as "hewers OF wood and
drawers Of water" and there is no mortal
power tina. could altar the decree establish
ed. He did no think that there was any
territory belonging to our MON, suitable
for slavery, unless our Pacific slopes would
answer; but there the mongrel races Of
Mexico would arnalgamate with the slives,
and the institution would become worthless.
and insecure.
