The Democratic Eiug--sThe award.
A faithful analysis Of the vote i'm
poses upon the Central Committee some
responsibility and embarrassment in
awarding the Democratic Gag under the
proposition made by the generous De-
mocraey Of Little Lake. That Town
ship, although it has not increased its
Democratic vote-it being precisely the
same this year as last, has yet given a
specimen Of the cAanest roting of any
Township in the county, only n ticket
having been scratched. If clean voting
alone were to determine the matter,
Lake would justly claim the flag; al
though close after her on this cardinal
point of political rectitude, are Old
Green, Mifiiu and Troy
But the Township making the largest
increase upon her Democratic msjOrity,
as compared with last year. is Mohecan.
which has increased her majority fifteen
votes. Clearcreek done nobly, reducing
the Republican majority eight votes
The Committee, however, deem it their
duty, under the proposition of the Demo
crazy Of Lake, to award the flag to the
Democracy Of Mohscan. Due notice Of
the presentation and acceptance will pro.
baby be given by the Democracy OF
Little Lake.

The Elections in Ill.-The Trou.
bles and Complications There.


The great contest in Illinois, is draw
ing to q close. On Tuesday next, the
Ieople of that State, are to elect q Lee
gislature, Congressman, and two State
Officers. What will be the result, none
seem prepared to predict with confidence.
If everything was harmonious there, the
Democracy could not fail to triumph in
dependent of outside aid from any quar-
ter. But unfortunately tho regular
democratic State Convention in Illinois
was unwisely held as long ago as April
last. and that body, acting under factious
oounsels, adopted an Anti-Lec0mpton
platform which necessarily placed a
mark of heresy on all who approved the
policy of the National Administration.
Most of the friends of the Administra-
ton have deemed it best to disregard
this proscriptivc action of the State
| Convention, and. are heartily sustaining
it's nominees. But a good many others
have not chosen to pursue this course.
1t is not probable, however, that the
number of democrats who will persist
emily abstain from aiding in the election
of candidates nominated on the f~actious
platform to which we have referred, is
as great as the number of loose jointed
Black Republicans, who, in the hope OF
still further distracting the harmony of
the National Democratic Administration
will render Judge Douglas interest all
the said anil comfort" in their power
The New York Tribune (Greely's paper,)
advised from the beginning, that the
| Republicans in Illinois should allow
Douglas friends to triumph. The Gin.
cinnati Commercials %sympathies are all
in that way. So, also, with John j.
Crittenden, Senator Dixon, of Ken
lucky, and other adheriDg American
readers, who have used what influence
they nave in Illinois, in favor of sus-
tanning the interests of Senator Douglas
in the pending contest. What will be
the first result of all this, we shall soou
know. AS a matter of course, the sue
cess of the democratic party in Illinois
is organized under the doings of the
nominating Convention in April, de
Ponds on its ability to draw to its aid as
large a number of Know Nothings and
Black Republicans as will atone for any
loss of democratic votes occasioned by
making opposition to the Lecomption
policy of the National Administration,
q specific plank in their State platform.

bad odor with the inhabitants Of that
province. Indignation meetings have
been held in various parts of Canada, at
several of which resolutions we're passed
condomnatory of his political conduct,
and addresses prepared to the Queen
asking for his recall. In Toronto he
has been hoeted in the streets, and when
in Montreal his levees were thinly atten-
ded. The French are offended with him
for insolcntly styling them "the inferior
race" In Quebec he was received with
great GOODNESS. The part played by his
excellency in the recent break up ofthe

Of the trouble.

WHAT ARE You LOOKING For "A
man was angry with his wife, either be-
cause she talked too much, or for some
reason or other, and resolved not to speak
to her for 4 long, long time He kept
his resolution for few days very strictly
One evening he is lying in bed anc
wishes to sleep; he draws his night-car
over his ears, and his wife may say what
she will, he hears nothing of it. The
wife then takes candle, and carries it
to every nook and corner Of the room
she removes stools, chairs, and tables,
and looks carefully behind them. The
husband sits up in bed, and gazes inqui-
ringly at her movements; he thinks that
the din must have an end at last; but he
is mistaken-his wife keeps on looking
and searching. The husband loses pa
tience and cries, "What are you look
ing for?" "For your tongue" she an
swers, "and now that | have found it.,
tell me why you are angry" Hereupon
they became good friends again.

THE GRAVES OF THE PRESIDENTS
The remains Of Washington rest at Mount
Vernon, where, in accordance with his
desire, they were inferred
The tomb at Mt Vernon will soon be-
come national property, thanks to the eff
forts of company of ladies, aided by
Hon. Edward Everett and others. The
tomb of John Adams is beneath the por-
tico of the Unitarian church at Quincy,
Mass. The vault was constructed by John
Quincy Adams, whose own remains now
repose in it. Thomas Jefferson's body lies
at Monticello, near Charlottesville, Alber-
marie county, Virginia, near his former
estate, now owned by Com. T. p Levy,
United States Navy. The last resting
place of James Monroe is in a little GEM
etery in Second street, just below Third
Avenue, in New York city. One step
inside the neatly arranged grounds, and
half covered with grass, almost concealed
by bushes, at the foot of little wren
house, which serves as his only monument
is the grave of James Monroe, who served
his country in the capacity of soldier
minister and President, is indicated by
simple marble slab, bearing his name
The Legislature of Virginia has just ap
propriated $4,000 to defray the expenses
of removing the remains to Virginia, and
for the erection of a monument to his
memory. In quiet country churchyard
at Montpelier, Orange county, Va, thirty
miles from the grave of Jefferson, lie the
remains of James Madison. Until within
year, nothing but plain stone obelisk
has been erected to indicate the resting
place of the departed statesman The
grave of Andrew Jackson is at the Hermi-
tage, on the banks of the Cumberland
river, about ten miles from Nashville,
Tennessee. He was inferred in the family
tomb, at his express desire. He reques-
ted that no pomp or circumstantive show
should distinguish his tomb, and he was
known to refuse profered present of an
antiquated marble sarcophagus, brought
from the Mediterranean, and said to have
once contained the remains of ancient
heroes. The body of William Henry
Harrison reposes in the family tomb at
North Bend, Ohio, few miles from Gin
cinnati, on the banks of the Ohio river.
Near Nashville, Tennessee, the former
residence of James X. Polk, his body is
now lying. The tomb Of Zachary Taylor
is near Louisville, Kentucky, the former
residence of his father In the fall of the
same year, however, his body was removed
and deposited in the family cemetery
The other Presidents, Martin Van Bu-
ren, John Tyler, Franklin Pierce, and
