What the Press Think or 1t.


tuesday last. The bast!e, assuming extraordi-
aary. proportions in view Of the coming PIesi-
iential struggle, was most desperately contest
expenditure Of money, were made by the parti-
zans Of Senator Dougias TO procure ior him .
home endorsement and thus help his prospects |
for the Presidential nomination, But neither
effort, nor money could scduce the people Of
Freedom. The Republican banner wares in
triumph over the Prairie City: Senator Doug
las is repudiated in his own home. The KEY
note for the campaign Of 1850 has been struck:
A sure victory awaits the Republican cause and
candidates in November.
[Fson. the Milwaukee Wisconsin, CSeutta1).]
Douylasism has made it's Inst great effort in
Chicago, and is utterly routed-beatcn to the
very dust. John Wentworth is elected Mayor
over Walter 8. Gu1nee, the strongest Douglas
partisan in that city, by the decisive majority Of
1850. This is mucl, larger than was expected.
The immense wealth Of Mr. Gurnee, and the
bitter antagouism Of nanr Of the Republican
leaders to Wentworth, combined with the known
understanding that douglas would consider the
election Of Gurnoc as q popular expression Of |
the Northwest in favor oi his nomination at
Charleston, gayc the Chicago election national
importance. There is truly wailin. among tie |
Douglas partizaus-tor it now seems probable |
that the whole Northwest will cast its vote for |
the Republican Presidential candidate, eyen it |
Douglas should obtain the Charleston nomina- |
ton.

From the Jane.y:l'c {w1s.) Gaze:te.l
This is indeed gratifying result, and we, in
common with Republicans everywhere, con-
gratulatc our brethren there upon their splendid
victory. It is we'll known that the nomination
for Mayor was distastelul to many Republicans.
The sacrifice Of thcir feelings ofrepuguauce the
union Of the whole party tor the ticket nonlina-
ted, and the untiring excrtions made for its suc-
cess, is evidence that therei is good pluck among
the Chicago Republicans, They are made up
Of the right material to win victories. Men are
nothing in their estimation, while principle IS
every thing and overshadows all other considers
tious. We AZ glad they hare achieved this
!. triumph now, hid under lie circumstances that
surrounded them. It proves conclusisely that
Chicago is the right place to hold Republican
National Convention. If the same spirit that
has animated our Chicago friends in this cleo
tion can be infused into that Convention, thcrc
will be 4 glorious national triumph in NoTem-
| Der.
This isa most signal aud significant triumph
Of the Republicans, as the contest was the hot
| test ever had in that city. The Democrats
| nominated a1r. Gnrnee as a Douglas candidate,
| aud every means fair and foul were used to iu-
sureh his election, in order that it might be pro-
c1ninled to the country as Il Douglas victory,
and strengthen Douglas chances for nomination
| at Charleston.
| lFrom the Dodge County twls.) Cl,Izen.l
The contest was the most exciting one erer
known there, Senator Douglas friends had a
representative candidate for the mayoralty in
tile person Of Walter S. Gurnee who was per-
sonally popular and exceedingly wealthy. They
had boastcd Of their ability to bent Wentworth,
and worked yaiantlF for that purpose. Under
these circumstances tie victory is significant
and glorious.
[From the Roe! 1.land Ecgtstes.]
Three cheers for Chice.o-the metropolis Of
| the hikes hus done her duty-a clean place for
tic great Republican Convention Of 1850. That
will 10 for our first gun in the Northwest. Opcn
the batteries along the whole line. The voice
Of the lakes goes booming down the Mississippi
and orer the Alleghauies, proclauaing the doom
Of the little asltating demagogue.
