A Senator In u Tight Place.

The Chicago Press and Tribune states that
at the great meeting and debate between
DOUGLAS and LINCOLN, at Ottawa, Illinois,
on the 2lst, Senator DOUGLAS based nearly
his whole speech on series of radical reso-
lutions which he read, and which, he assured
his hearers, were passed by Republican
State Convention in 1854, at Springfield
that they constituted the Platform of the
Party at that day, and that they represented
the views of his distinguished competitor,
who, he said, took part in in the proceedings
Of which the resolutions were share. The
Press and Tribune says: "Ihe resolu-
tons pere frauds and .torgeries from first
to last. No such resolutions were ever pre-
scented to, hence never adopted by, any State
Republican Convention in Illinois and in
making the assertion, Mr.. DOUGLAS knew that
he basely maliciousy and wlfully lied! He
not only lied circumstantially and wickedly,
but he spent the first part of his speech in
celebrating the lie with which he set out, and
the entire latter part, in giving the lie appli-
cation and effect The resolutions which he
read were adopted by one-horSe meeting at
Aurora, in Kane county, with which Mr.. l..
had nothing to do, which he was not near,
which he possibly never heard of except
through the public prints.
Men of Illinois, here is your Senator! The
lions skin is stripped off his back, and he
proves to be petty prevaricator, who COM
plains that his opponents are abusing him.
Here is the man who is traversing the State
from end to end in pursuit of votes, below
ing as he goes" You lie you lie !" We
will not here characterize his baseness in the
terms which it deserves"
Another article on this subject in the Press
and Tribune of the ODD, inst, is as follows:
The DOUGLAS FORGERY. The Douglas
worshippers were in high glee Saturday night
and all day Sunday over the forgery commit
ted by Stephen A. Douglas Meet them where
you would, the first salutatiOn would be-
Little Dug has got Lincoln tight on that
Springfield Abolition Platform he can't get
out oft. You are licked party"
The laugh will now come out of the other
side of the mouths of the poor dupes, when
they find that their idol is convicted forger,
and that no Illinois Republican State Con-
vention ever passed the alleged resolutions !;
that Lincoln had nothing to do with them,
directly or indirectly; that they were merely
the resolutions of a meeting at Aurora Kane
county, held previous to the State Anti-Ne
braska Convention at Springfield This &C.
pose of the fraud and rascalty of the little
dodger should overwhelm every one Of his
followers with shame and confusion, and make
them hide their faces from the slow, unmov
ing finger of scorn that every honest man
will point at him.

The Hon. VIM. Montgomery is running
again for Congress in the XXth District, hay
ing received the regular Democratic nomna-
ton. The District comprises the counties OF
Washington, Fayette and Greene, of which
the former only has appointed conlerees to
a Republican District Convention. The
County Conventions of Fayette and Greene,
grateful to Mr.. M. for his opposition to Le-
compton, virtually decided not to oppose his
reelection. In view of this refusal, Seth Il.
Hurd, editor of the Clipper (Brownsville), and
widely known for his capital Fremont speech
es, announces himself as an independent can
didate against Mr.. NJ. If the Lecompton-
ties should thereupon belt Mr.. NJ, his pros
pect would be gloomy indeed.

The PASSPORT (Me) Sentinel speaks Of
story afloat, that boat was last week seen
near West Quoddy, without any one nboard.
Upon rowing to it, it was found to have a
fishing line attached to it, which, being haul
ed in, showed one hook to be attached to a
halibut and the other to the wrist of man.
The supposition was that the fish had been
hauled to the surface, when by some acc;-
dent the hook caught in the wrist of the man,
who was carried overheard by the weight of
the fish

The Iowa Canvass.

The contest for Congress in Iowa seems
quite an animated one. The candidates on
both sides have taken the stump. In the
first or lower district, CURTIS is the Republi-
can, and TRIMBLE the Democratic nominee.
In the Secoud or Northern district, in which is
Dubuque, VANDEvERE, Republican, and LIEF
FINGwELL, Douglas Democrat, are the candi-
dates. A third candidate in this district is
talked OTTO be Buchananite. The U. S.
officeholders are at the bottom of this move
ment. The Dubuque Herald, of the 2lst,
raises the shout of treason" and dvnounces
the Z. S. Surveyor General as its principal
concoctor. On the whole, we think the Re-
publican Congressman will be elected, though
the battle is unquestionably a very fierce one

CalhOun,s Last Dodge of All.

A Lawrence correspondent of the Boston
Transcript exposes fraud in the certificates
of election to the Legislature, under the LIE,
compton Constitution, of the vilest descrip
ton. Calhoun has certified that the Free
State members he has given certificates to
were elected to the Legislature on the 21st
day Of December, 1857, when it is notorious
that the election took place on the 4th o.
January, 1868. The object was to enable the
Pro-Slavery men to obtain an advantage in
the organization of the Legislature, and ena
bic them to rule out those holding credentials
purporting that they were elected on the 2lst
of December.

and Anti-LecOmptOn Democrats will carry
sweeping majority of the members of the
Legislature to be chosen this fall, it is self
evident that Sibley will never allow them to
meet, simply because they would then take
the liberty of electing Republican or Anti
Lecompton United States Senator, who would
thereupon displace the Senator, This brother
in-law, Steele, perhaps,) whom he will doubt
less in the meantime appoint to fill Gen.
Shields vacancy
And SO, to avoid such result, and to pre-
serve the Moccasin Party in power, the in.
terests of the people and honor of the State
even will be sacrificed; and no matter what
the emergency ofpublic affairs, we may safe
ly calculate that no Legislature will be con-
vened until after the second election of men,
bers in October 1859!
1t is plain therefore, that there is no like
lihood of any law being passed authorizing a
Congressional election, nor will any such
election be held, until sometime in 1860: in
deed not until after the long session of the
Congress of 1860 is over, during all of which
session Minnesota aoiN be s0ahom ony represen.
tation in the loacer House Of Ctngress!!
This result, however, is, Gas Col. r. would
say,) only another legitimate consequence of
the dishonest and dsgraceful principles and
practices of the whole Moccasin Tribe which
noa0 rule the State under the assumed name
of "The Democracy of Minnesota"

The Electoral Vote for 1860.

The electoral vote for 1856 consisted of
29G votes. The admission of Minnesota will
increase that number to 300, and should Kan
sas and Oregon be admitted, the entire vote
will be BOG, requiring l54 for a choice of
President. OF this 306 there will be 100
from the slavcholding States, and 1876 from
tn non-slaveholding States. In the Charles
ton (Democratic) Convention, under the two
thirds rule, it will require 204 votes to make

ern votes, even with the united South, to
make a nomination.

The Douglas and Lincoln Debate.

| We surrender our columns up nearly entire
ly this morning to LINcoLN's Great Ottawa
Speech to the exclusion of our usual variety.
There is nothing however, of especial interest
in the news line which its publication eX-
cludes, and it will we'll repay perusal. The
Chicago Journal speaks of the debate and
its finale as follows:
The RESULT OF THE First LINCOLN AND
DOUGLAS DEBATE. The Republicans were
in their glory at Ottawa on Saturday, the
foolish statements and falsehoods Of the Chi
cago Times to the contrary notwithstanding
At least two-thirds of the vast assembage
that was attracted thither to listen to the
Lincoln and Douglas debate, was composed OF
Republicans, and every candid man present
whom we have seen bears Testimony to the
fact that Lincoln took down" Douglas most
effectually, on every point of the debate. The
genuine enthusiasm of the occasion was all on
the side of Lincoln, and so pleased were his
friends with his strong and crushing replies to
the misrepresentation and sophistications Of
Douglas, that when he concluded his speech,
they rushed up to the stand, took him upon
their shoulders, and bore him in triumphal
procession to the house of Mayor Glover
where he stopped
In the evening the Republicans had grand
time. Preceded by a band of music, they
marched in procession to Mayor Glover's, and
escorted Mcssrs. Lincoln and Owen Lovejoy
from thence to the Court House. where one
of the mos enthusiastic impromptu meetings
that was ever gotten up, was held. Mr.. Love
| joy made telling speech-one of his charac-
terstc sledge-hammer Efforts after which
the masses-all Republicans-(fo for the Doug
lasites had hidden their heads in shame, at
the, to them, ingorious result of the public
debate, Horned grand torch light procession,
and paraded the streets, with loud hurrahs
for Lincoln" until late hour.
Every Republican present at this first reg
ular tuSsle between Lincoln and Douglas, felt
entirely satisfied, and the general opinion is
that in the Third Congressional District, at
least, Douglas is ga dead cock in the pit"

SHIPPING PAUpERs TO ST.. PAuL-Within
few weeks past an important evil has been
brought to the notice of the city and county
officers, which demands their most stringent
attention. We refer to the fact (before men
toned in our coumns) Of cities and towns
below, shipping paupers and INDECENT, insane,
and helpless persons here, who from the mo.
ment they are larded become charge upon
our public. 1t is certain that they are sup
piled with free tickets, though the boat Off
GERS may not know the fact OF their being
thus exported from the cites where they are
shipped. Yesterday, poor crippled and in
sane pauper, who has been wandering about
our streets for days, an object of loathing and
pity, was taken to the station house by some
officers, as the only way to prevent his an
noying the public; and we believe there is
now, or at least has been for some days, an
insane woman in the city Jail, both of which
persons were undoubtedly shipped from be-
ow, by some corporation .nxious to get rid
of them. 1t is small business for any city
to engage in, and the only way 10 90 Is 10
afiix penalty on passenger agents or boat
officers who engage in this mean business
The fact is undeniable, that we have poor of
orr own among US to aid, which burdens our
taxpayers quite enough, without having
loathsome, abjcct outcasts brought here to be
quartered on us, by cities whose cheap COM
munication with this port has induced them
to take this contemplate means Of getting rid
Of a burdensome charge.
The following resolution was passed at the
last meeting Of the Board of County Super
visors
Resolued, That the Chairman of the Board
be directed to give notice through the public
papers Of the city of St. Paul. to the Captains
of all boats landing at the port of St: Paul,
that they will be held responsible for all costs
sustained by the county Of Ramsey, by tnelr
shipment and landing Of paupers at that port
