We refer our readers to the special dispatch to
the New York Tribune from Washington, and 10 n
significant article which transfer to our columns
from the Washington Union, in attes,ation Of the
deep chagrin felt by the Administration at the

That the popular vote Of the State should have
been given 70 the Republicans by at least 500"
majority and yet a sufficient number Of represen-
,atives friendly to the election Of Douglas chosen,
to secure his return to the Senate, indicates the
deep hostility felt by the people of Illinois toward
M Buchanan and his policy. whilst at the same
time. il shows that the great Squater Sovereign Is
not unacceptable to the Black Republicans. Had
Douglas espoused the Lccompton policy of the
Administration he would recently have found
himself in minority Of thousands at home; aud
ii was as we have all along believed, to avoid this
result which he foresaw, that he made his issue
with the Administration and the South. Is there

Its statement is therefore entitled to credit when
it says, that, there is better prospect now OF
the laws being maintained. and of justice being
enforced against known and notorious criminals

That instances of riot aud murder have occurr-
ed in Baltimore, no candid man will deny; but
that they have been peculiar to Baltimore and
confined to the American Administration there,
we are slow 10 believe. We remember well that
during the holding of the Wing Convention Of
1910 in that city, and whilst it was under Demo-
cratic rule, gentleman who was quietly march
ing in procession through tho streets, killed by
an Irishman in broad day light. We remember
another case of young Southern gentleman by
the name of Paul Roux, who, upon his arrival in
that city was inveigled by au lrishman into low
hotel, and there robbed and murdered. Murders
therefore occurred in Baltimore when it under
Democratic rule, and they occurring in Demo-
cratic cities now.
Added to other murders that were perpctraed
the occasion Of the late election in the city of
New York wo see it stated that United States
marinr, (who, with his fellows, and oil the sol
diers stationed thereabouts, were marched up to
vote the Democratic ticket,) killed n man who
questioned his right ~ to vote. But, these
things occurred in city giving &c, 600 Democratic
majority, we shall not be likely to hear anything
about them from the journals of that party.
We deprecate this continued war upon Balti-
more which is instigated by political rancor

be permitted to question the soundness Of that
policy that would crush the prosperity of grow
ing Southern city; the capital city of State that
may yet be the great break water to that rushing
tide Of Abolitionism that is pouring in upon us
from the North. Should fanaticism do its worst,
and an event occur which now seems to be mpen-
ding, Baltimore will occupy position geographi-
cally that could not fail to commend her to the
sympathies Of the whole South. But to the art-
