4 CANDIDATE FOR TKsE SENATE.
The last candidate we hare heard mention
ed for Judge Trumbulls place il tho Senate,
and quite the Inst We expected to hear whis.
pered, is C, L. n1enEE, Esq, Of the county Of
Pike. Whether a majority Of the Democratic
party coincide with that gentlcman's opinion
that he W ;uld make something both useful and
ornamental III the highest hra,ch Of the na-
tional legislature, we do not know, but it is
eertain that he QHgbee) is very much taken
with the idea, and that he has sufficiently i'm
pressed one ATcAer, Of Pike county, with tho
same notion, to warrant him in running for
the Legislature in Pike and Brown on Mr..
Highce's behalf 11ighee, il we remember
rightly, was originally a Mormon, but finding
that sham Democracy paid better, he transfer
red his allegiance to the latter humbug. Ar
cher is an ultra Administration Democrat.

plete the work. Illinois is the poorer By three
willing pairs Of hands; and some slave State
has gained three mute and sullen beasts Of
burden, who may some day put in practice, at
tho expense Of the man.sellezs and kidnappers,
tho lessons Of ekill and daring that life ofiee-
dom has lAught them. But our concern is not
with them. The ingenuity and unscrupulous-
meas Of the man hunters have put then, in
p1acs where they will be heard Of no more.
The lash, hard iare, unceasing toll and spirits

their work. Our cara is for the outraged sov-
ereignty Of nli1ois. fer the guards which shall
make al such atrocities impossible hereafter,

protection Of the Stats and its Laws; they
wsre entitled to tue 'egal presumption in "a
vor Of their innocence and freedom. The
Stals has been drGed, the laws broken, and ths
presumption Of freedom unceremoniousy set
aside. If this thing may happen in The case
Of poor slack man, why cot in the case Of
poor white man? Is the color Of ones faee
the index Of Lis rights in this free State? or

maxim Of that old Jesuit who makes more
