greater and substantial Improvement for the

Of having the very best improved street in

Yancey ON Douelas.


Mr. fancey. on the 18th of July, 1859
thus spoke of Judge Douglas:
For Mr.. Douglas, as man, have much
respect and great admiration. With nm.
common powers of intellect, with great en-
ergy and unfinching purpose, with great
reliance upon his own powers and resources.
with nature perfectly fearless, with cour.
age that leads him to grapple with the
greatest dangers, with a spirit that leads
h,m to scorn all compromise of his princi-
No one. however, who took notice of his
recent contest in the State of Illinois.
which resulted in his reelection to the Uni.
tel States senate, can have failed to have
ielt Tor him the greatest admiration. Single
handed he breasted the power both of the
Federai Administration and of the Black
Republican party. He scorned to make
terms with either. While the Administra-
ton brought its whole power, both moral
and offleiai. to bear against him, the Black
hepublean party arrayed against him its
organization. One would have supposed.
IN such contest, he would have avoided
creating feeling of determined hostility
against him on the part of the Black Re-
publican party; but, with most triumph
ant spirit, he carried the war deeply into
their ranks. The result was one of the
most brilliant personal triumphs that was
ever accorded to any statesman.
The foregoing eulogy of Mr.. Yancey upon
Judge Douglas completely annihilates any
position he may assume in reference to that
distinguished Democrat pending the pres
cnt campaign.
To MARY.-I am thinking of the time;
Mary, when side, and shelling beans, gaz-
ed on thee, and felt wondrous pride In

Mary, was all the sound we heard. Thy
auburn curls hung down Mary, and kissed
thy lilly cheek ; thy azure eyes, haif-flled
with tears, bespoke thy spirit meek To be
so charmed as was then, had ne'er before

Mary, was all the sound we heard. /

First Gun from Illinois.

There was an election on Tuesday in Al
ton, tie home Of Senator Lyman Trumbull,
Tor Mayor, IieasuTes. Collector, Attorney,
Marshal, Earbor-Naster, Street-Commis-
sioner. Assessors and Aldermen. For
some time the contest had been waged with
great warmta on the part o. the Black Re
publicans, who boasted that they would
most surely carry the city. The party lines
were drawn with great strictness, it being
announced that vote for the Black Repub-
lican ticke:, was q vote for Lincoln. The
result was that the Douglas Democrats
elected their whole ticket for general city
officers. ani seven out of twelve aldermen.
The Alton Courier, Lincoln paper,) in
publishing the result, is evidently in bad
humor. anl is inclined to doubt whether
the election was honest-the old story that
follows disastrous defeat of the Black Re-
publicans
In 1856, Buchanan carried the city by
four votes over Fremont, while low. kell-
enberSer is elected by about eighty over his
opponent, Mr. Scarritt-one of the most
popular men in Alton. That doesn't look
mu as though Lincoln is sweeping every
thing .efore him, as the Black Republicans
are trying to make out. To us it has an
appearance I" on the contrary, quite the re-
verse"
The long and short of the matter is, that
Lincolnism and sectional revolution are
about ' iickered out in Illinois. No
power on earth can prevent Douglas from
carrying the State by handsome majority,
and he will do it as certain as fate. The
conservatives are openly coming out ~
him by the hundreds, and are helping with
might and main to assist their friends In
other States, whose first object is to defeat
the geographical nominees and put the coun-
try out of danger. The matter Of clectins
a President will be attended to afterwards.
We say well done for Alton. Let the
negro worshipers look out for the loco
motive."-Repu6lican.
