A VOICE FROM ILLINOIS.

Ii j. passing strange that We should find al
this moment, advocates Of Squattcr Sovereignty
or Of silent compromise Of the slavery qucs-
ton, among the Democracy Of Virginia.
At this moment, we see this phenomenon,
when the acknowledged leader Of the Missouri
Democracy boldly insists on the entire vind-
cation Of equal protection under the Constitu.
ton, in the face Of the only openly acknow-
lcdged aboliiionist organization which has yet
found footing in a slave State; at this moment,
when the conservative Democracy Of the
North are asserting equal protection in the
midst and in spite Of the very stronsholdS Of
Black Republican Enaticism. And the sound
sentiment Of the great Northwest is uttered
too, without fear or favor. rcnouncing and
dcnouncing tho advocacy and the liberation Of
practical aboitionism in the shape Of SQuat!er
Sovereignty anarchy
We commend u our doubting brethren Of
the South the spirit Of manly justice which
