The Chicago Democrat, edited by
that notorious BLACKBOARD, Long John
Wentworth, is considered to be the
home organ Of Mr.. Lincoln, and what
ever appears in its columns is accepted
as authority. In late number OF the
Democrat appears the following edito-
rial:
Thank God The day 10 coming when
man shall be elected President of the United
States who hases slavery rs sumner hates u.
and who will call Sumner to hi councils u
indeed bis life be spared from the blood hounds
who now thirst for it, to aid hin in the work
Ct its complete extinction.
John Brown fought against the barbarism OF
slavery la Virginia, and was hung on g'6bet
Charles Sumner fought against the barbarian
OF slavery in the United States Senate. and the
hand OF slavery, already crimson with tn.
blood Of countless MARTYRS Is rails to take
hi. life. Ii he falls. we shall say. AS We said OF
John Prown. The blood of the martyrs is the
seed Of the church"
What man who loves his country and who
loves mankind. but would covet such DEATH

him who 10 10 come alter them, aud who. in
the person Of Abraham Lincoln. will reak ev-
cry yoke and let the oppressed 60 free.
1t will be observed that it is settled
matter, that in case Old Abe is elected,
Sumner is to have prominent position
in his Cabinet as Grand Counsellor and
adviser Of which is subject to the
contingency, Gin case his life is spared by
the blood hounds of the Senate" We
think it would be advisable to shut
Johns mouth, and not allow him TO
speak quite SO plainly; he is prone to
say just what he thinks, and he thinks
Just as nine tcnths Of the Black Repub-
licsn party does, that the proceedings Of
John Brown were right, just and God
ike. A fine cabinet such soft shelled
traitors as Sumner and such unscrupul-
GUS rascals as Long John Wentworth
would make. They are the very men
who will be selected in case Lincoln is
elected.

Wshave been shown letter written
to one Of the State Executive Commit
tee informing him that tie Western
Stage Company will carry delegates to
and from the Democrats, Convention At
De.moioes for half fare, or the round
trip $1,000. This is very liberal on tie
part of the Stage Company, and we
hope to see full delegations pass over
their line. The fare from this city TO
Iowa City is $40.
The Northern Line have very gener
ously offered to carry delegates to and
from any point ON the river at half fare
The arrangement win them, however,
will not be practicable at this time.

The Gazette attempts to cxult over
what it calls division in our party.
It had better, however look to it's own;
there is in reality as strong line of
demarcation between the Lincoln and
Seward men as between the Douglas
and Breckinridgc men, though it does
not show itself SO clearly to the casual
observer. We apprchend, however, that
the real extent of this disaffectiou will
not be discovered till the returns from
some Of the great States on which they
are counting with great deal Of GER
tainty are received. They may dis
cover when too late, that the wishes Of
. great State like New York cannot
be disregarded as they were at Chicago.
This daaffection, however, il not con-
fined to some Of the prominent leaders
alone, but has spread to some cousid-
cradle extent among the rank and file

appointment to those interested in thu

The Btg Ugly partY.

The Black Republican party is now
called the Big Ugly party, and they
have justly earned the title. Regarding
the personal attributes Of their candi.
dates aud chiefs, they have evidently
adopted the rule of requiring supreme
ngllness as an Indispensable qualification
fer honor and place. No msn can re-
ce've a nomination for any h; gh office, or
be recognized as entitled to any respect
or influence, unless he is Calban Of
coarseness and physical responsiveness.
One of our neighbors adds another
portrait to the gallery Of Black Repub-
Iican ugliness in this charcoal sketch Of
the candidate Of that party for Governor
Of Maine
They must be "hsrd NJ" for gubernatori.l
material in that State, il Wsshburne is the best
they have. he is . small. ungsinly. dried M
specimen Of man. with features resemblinr
those Of an ape much more than human be.
ing-aud. from this circumstances is oomuonly
called "Jocko Washburne."
The portraits of F. P. Blair, jr, the
Robert 10 Dsin of the party, and for .
quarter of century the undisputed
owner Of the jack-knife which belongs to
the ugliest man in the Union, Of Thur
low Weed, and many others we could
namo among the leaders of Black Re-
puollcan'sm, will render this the most
complete gallery Of characteristic and
expressive pictures to be found in the
civilized world.
Black Republication is faithfully re-
flected and happily persouified in those
fhces and forms.

THE Gazette says we turned sudden
somerset from Buchanan to Douglas,
and still claim that We represent the Ad-
ministration Of Scott county.
We wonder il our so-called somerset
was any more sudden than that of the
''littIe joker" of The Gazette when he
Topped over from Know Nothingism to
Republicanism. Perhaps he may seek
to palIiate that charge on the ground
that the whole Know Nothing party did
the same thing.
Although the "little joker" is pretty
good authority on political summersets,
he should not have attempted to drag
u down to his own level by charge so
palpably untrue. II the Gazette calls
our course in placing Douglas at the
head OF our columns under present cir
cumstances a somerset, we may, under
similar circumstances, lay ourselves
again open to the same charge, as we
always intend to support regular nomi-
nees, and in such case we hardly think
our course would require any viud,cation.

TKuru STRANGER THAN FICnOS.-
Among those who suffered loss by the
late tornado was Mr.. VIM. II. Bennett OF
Dewitt. A letter, which was written
him from Pennsy lvania some FIVE years
since, and which, being Of Importance,
bis wife had kept in drawer among
her private papers, was, with most eve-
rything else, swept away. 1t alighted
twenty miles north from the track of the
whirlwind, and fifty miles from Benefits
on the farm Of Mr.. John Wood, near
Sterling, III. Mr.. Wood is cousin OF
Mrs. Bennett. On the 18th inst, while
blowing he found the letter, and, rightly
conjecturing that his Iowa relatives had
been despoilcd by the tornado. if not
killed, he FASTENED to Dewitt with his
wife to ascertain the truth aud relieve
their necessities.
