paper, says:
The EFFECT OF TIE LATE ELECTIONS
result of the late elections in Maine, Vermont,
Ohio, Iowa and Minnesota afford an instruc-
tive lesson to Democrats. In those States,
the Opposition have succeeded by increased
majorities. Why? Because, in those States,
the Democracy, fearing to stand up manfuly
for Democratic principles for the Constitu-
tion-adopted the Squatter Sovereignty here
sizes of the little demagogue Of Illinois, in the
hope that, by thus pandering to the free soil
sentiment, they would gain votes We have
seen the result of this demoralizing and cow
ardly course. The Democratic party is COW
cred with defeat. The Opposition are jubilant
over vastly increased majorities, and are in
high glee in anticipation Of certain victory in
1860. Soon they will have Wisconsin, by an
increased majority, to add to the long list of
victories. Such is the result of ENGRAVING
Douglasism on the Democratic stock.
Douglas men will please take notice!

DouaLAsIsx TESTED. - The Republicans

this year, the same party elected their ticket
by nearly $4,000. In Vermont, the full

of 1.175 over the vote Of last year. In both

encouraging, this, for the "squatters," who
heretofore pretended to believe that all that
was necessary to succeed was to adopt the
"squatter" platform.

GOVERNMENT LEASE. Our Government
pays the Choctaws and Chickasaws $500, 900
in consideration of a perpetual lease of terri
tory from them, on which to locate the
Wichitas, Camanches, and other wild tribes
of Indians. The Camanches of the Texas
reserve have already reached there, together
with the Wichitas, and other small tribes,
who appear to be satisfied with their new
homes. The Choctaw and Chickasaw country
embraces, in al, twenty million five hundred
thousand acres, equal in value to any Western
territory. Thsrs are eight million acres now
set apart out Of this for the location Of the

Illegal Voting.

Itseems that Donnellan's plan of strength
sning the outposts" was adopted by the
Democracy of various parts of the State at the
late election. In one township in Keokuk
county, great rolls Of Democratic tickets were
found in the ballot-boxes, and thrown out.
At Burlington, the home Of Dodge, the mum.
Der of tickets in the ballot box exceeded about
thirty the number Of voters registered, and
was larger by about four hundred than the
vote polled last year. The census of voters
in that township, last Spring, falls several
hundred short of the vote cast this Fall. In
Scott county, also, there was large increase
OF the aggregate vote, Notwithstanding, as we
learn from the Gaseste, the population of the
county has considerably decreased, lately, by
large number of laborers leaving. In Win
field township, on Tho borders Of Cliaton
county, there were fifty more votes cast than
last year, and, Of course, the increase was all
on the Democratic side. The Upton Adusr-
tsssr says there was illegal voting at that
PaSee, also. -.
The number Of votes cast at the polls in
this city was greater than ever before, not
withstanding about \ hundred Of the former
voters Of this township were included in the
new township Of Lake. A friend of ours
says he knows Of several illegal Democratic
votes having been cast, and we doub: not the
number was considerable, as many voters
were marched up to the polls by active Dem
ocrats, and permitted to vote, though nobody
knew them except those who had them in
charge.
These frequent frauds on the sacred right
of suffrage demand An effective registry law,
and we hope the ensuing Legislature will take
the subject into consideration.

prising that he found so many to believe
his crazy theory and willing to join him in
his rash undertaking.

ExPELLED.-Dr William L. Daily, on trial
at Bloomington, before the Indiana Conference
of the NJ. E. Church, has been convicted by
that body of drunkenness and lewdness, and
expelled from the Conference by vote of GO
to 16. An appeal has been taken to the
General Conference. DR.. Daily, it will be
recollected, was President of the Indiana
University, from which position he was
expelled, some time ago, for the same offense.
He is doubtless fallen man; and the high
position he once occupied in the Church, as
man of talent and influence, makes his fall
the more deplorable. No man can safely
tamper with the intoxicating bowl. Before
he is aware of it, he is drawn into the whirl-
pool of destruction, and finds himself wrecked
beyond the hope of recovery. Almost every
community can point to examples of this
character.

The KANSAS DlLEMxA.-The Philadelphia
Press thus presents the new question about
Kansas, and the dilemma in which the Presi-
dent and his partisans now find themselves
on that subject:
The people of Kansas, with the most inso-
lent pertinacity, have adopted the Wyandotte
Constitution, by large majority, and at the
opening Of Congress will demand the admis-
sion Of the new State into our sisterhood of
Republics. Itwould appear they have refused
compliance with the English bill, and have not
taken a census, and also that they have not
made return of the votes to the President,
as reported in that bill. What will the Presi
dent do? Will he adhere, as law-abiding
man, to the terms of the English bill, requiring
that Kansas should take census in order to
show that she has the proper number of
inhabitants, and thus recommend the rejection
of the new State, and let this issue run into
the Presidential campaign, as a kind of pois.
oned chalice to the candidate of the Democratic
party? Or will he do what the people have
done, and what the ''rebels" have advised
frankly ask that Kansas may be admitted
with the Wyandotte Constitution, in violation
of the English bill /? If he takes the first
course, then we claim that he has not settled
the Kansas question with his English bill, but
has kept it open; if the second, then he
proves that the men who opposed the English
bill are sanctioned by his own authority.
