THE ORGAN OUT OF TUNE.

THE ORGAN OUT OF TUNE.
The Times aid Herald has furnished another
marked illustration Of inability under its pres
ent ownership to meet the requirements Of q
Douglas organ Among its Leading editorials
yesterday was one calling special attention to
the concert 10 be given in the Wjgwam, onthe
10th inst, the proceeds Of which are to be
given in aid Of the cause of Italian iudepen-
dence, in which it had the indiscretion to say:
ave feel deep a:d abiding interest in the
"glorions struggleno being made by tho sons
"of classic Italy for freedom and unity-aud
Yin the iuyincible courage and genius Of the
"great clletain, Garibaldi.' Now III. rank

baldi and the :'glorious struggle" in which he
is engaged rs they do tho evil one. and contri-
butte literally 10 the subscription set on foot
in this country hy tue Catholic priesthood to
suppress tho attempt Of the Italian people 10
overthrow the papal d;spotism beneath which
they haye groaned for ages. Not only so, but
they know that the Golfers Of Mr. Douglas
have been drawn upon tor the same purpose;
and more than one halt Of their zeal for that
gentleman grows directly out Of his well
known sympathy with the Pope. Ar. McCor-
mick being an Old School Presbyterian, Of
Course feels warm solicitude for the success
Of Garibaldi; but 50 long as he is unable to
suppress ii, he proves himself utterly unfit 10
conduct the organ Of the Douglas Democracy.
It was bad enough for him to yindicate
Breckenridge and Lime from the charge pre-
ferred against them by Douglas, Aller, Rich
ardson + c., Of being disunionis.s ard trail
tors. But when it comes to i1tlorsipg the
efforts Of the Italian people in their attempts to
throw of the Papal yoke, it is not to be ex-
pected that the Catholic Democracy will quietly
submit Verify the organ is sadly out Of tune!

LEXINGTON, August 2, 1870.
There was great outpoaring Of the Kepub-
licms Of this and the adjoining counties to at
tend the meeting at Lexington. At an early
hour in the day the people began to assemble,
and before noon there were at least 5000 Of the
mud. .sills in town, each anxious to do his or her
utmost for Honest Old Abe. They came with
all manner Of banners, flags, devices and carl
catures, calling up By their ingenuity md en-
thusiasm the campaign Of 1910, when We helped
to troll the ball-ball-ball" The meeting was
briefly but ably addressed By Hon. N. B. Judd
Of Your city, Dick Oslesby candidate for the
Senate, 0rme Of Bloomington and Hon. Rich

the tall chief Of the prairies, was received with
good hearty shouts which tell Of success in

doubtful and warmly contested districts. 4

night. A magnificent pole, measuring 1>o feet
from the surface Of the ground 10 the ton, Was
raised early in the day, as an opening exercise.
The delegations from the country began to come
until our little village was swarn'ing with over
1900 people. The greatest enthusiasm pre-
vailed throughout, and many who came to the
Meeting Democrats, went home determined to
vote for Lincoln and Hamlin, aud declared they
would no longer vote with the Democratic par
ty.
The crowd was addressed By Hon. Wm. kel-
logg and Henry Grove, Esq. Every speech had
telling effect, aud the meeting was in every
respect a decided success. The brilliant display
Of the Peoria and Lacon Wide Awakes, in the
evening, added much to the interest Of the &C.

ANOTHER DECISION EXPECTED.

We understand from the Shelby Nttps that q
suit has been instituted in the Shelby Circuit
Court involyirg the question Of slavery in tue
Northwestern Territory, Us effected BY the ordi-
nance Of 1857. The plaintiff asserts that his
master became a permanent resident OF Illinois,
and took the plaintiff to that State, and there
kept lin during the period Of his residence
therein. The plaintiff clsims that By virtue Of
the Ordinance Of l7s7 and the Constitution and
laws Of llhntis. this residence liberated him
from tlayery.-Louisritte Jcuraat-
Why not7 The Ordinance Of 1851, as it is
popularly called, but really the act Of Congress
Of 1853, rests upon the same foundation as
that which sustained the Missouri Compromise
from 1920 down to 1854; and If the last is not
in accordance will, the spirit ard letter Of the
Constitution, the first may be set aside by The
Supreme Court as 'inoperat:ve and void :"
They stand OF fall together, becaueo they rest
on tue same basis The only question to be
decided is this: will the pro-slavery politicians
and the Supreme Court dare attack that which
gave freedom to the Northwest? The Dred
Scott decision was not pronounced until the
triumph Of 1856 wes secured. Would the
election Of Breckenridge, in 1860, be followed
by m overthrow Of the Ordinanc, Of 1881? If
not, why not?
