UNION ON BELL AND EVERETT. We take
the following sensible extract from the N Y.
Herald, and commend the sentiments con-
! tanned therein to the serious consideration of
the democracy of Cecil county.
From the indications furnished by the
election in the South. the Union party, repre-
scented by Bell and Everett. is the strongest,
and is just the conservative nucleus around
which the divided forces of the democracy
could rally without compromise or humilia-
ton on either side. The Union party cannot
win by itself, with two other conservative
tickets in the field and neither Of the two
wings of the democracy can he successful for
| the same reason. The only alternative left
is that they both come to the assistance of
the Union ticket. and help to defeat black
republicanism. These two factions cannot
fairly ask the Union men to unite with them.
for they are not united themselves and it
would be useless for the unionists to join
either of them:
The great mass of the conservative elements
of the North are anxiously looking for some
way in which they can resist the onward
march Of Repu5licanism. The only practical
way is that which we have pointed out OF
the two evils the. Democracy ought to choose
the lesser. 1t is lesser evil to elect Bell
than Lincoln; and as The matter no1r stands one
or the other must be elected Let the democracy,
unable to elect q candidate of their own,
determine which of the two men they will
send to the White House. and which Of the
two parties would he the sa fer to be entrusted
with power.

CHICAGO, March 9th, 1860.


Eaaors Democrat:
Chicago has Just passed through one Of the
most exciting municipal elections it has ever
experienced since it became an incorporated
city. The Republicans have had control of
tie city government for the last three years.
In 1859, John G. Haines was elected mayor
by $50 majority.
The great undertaking of raising the entire
city to higher grade. cost an immense
amount of money. and causes no little grumb-
ling among Taxpayers this in connection
with the Importance attached to the election
by Senator Douglas for the effect it will have
at Charleston, made the Democracy put forth
every effort to carry the city. Irish voters were
imported from neighboring towns, as the sub
sequeut proceedings in the police court fully
substantiate; free whiskey was openly dealt
out, and nothing left undone which Democra-
cy could do to regain their power.
Although there existed differences in the
Republican ranks, they we're all forgotten in
the excitement of the hour. -a
The disgusting carousals of drunken Irish
proeessions-their attacks upon peaeablc citi
| Zens-their murder of German who was
marching in Republican procession-and the
great Importance attached 10 the election By
Republicans abroad, stirred up the masses
to the highest pitch of excitement.
The result you have. 1t is glorious result

Hon. John Wentworth, editor of the Dahl
Democrat, is elected Mayor by over t,celu
hundred maiority-a gain of over four hum
dred. This Increases the confidence of TIL
Republicans that they can carry this State
(even against Douglas) for the Chicago Pres
identiaI nominee.
This week, in the celebrated Wisconsin
Boothe case for violation of the Fugitie,
Slave law, the State Snpreme Court refused

being evenly divided 10 opinion.

A majority of the Judges are now in favor o
granting the writ, but by some means one o
them is disqualified to act ID this particuIa
