ss1- Some weeks ago the Enquirer stated
that one John Hanks of Illinois split most
OF the rails which were being circulated as
the handiwork of " Old Abe" and that
Hanks intended to support Douglas. We
this morning permit Mr.. Hanks to speak
for himself and we hope every one will
read his letter. 1t is to the point, and is
only one of the thousands of instances Of
the way in which the working men of the
county are locking to the standard of Lin
coin, Hamlin and Free Labor.

slavery, by referring the matter directly

solution of a question so rife with section

appeal to all such to rally to the support
Of the Democratic party and its gallant

democratic principle. Their triumph will
bring lasting peace and union to the

AWFUL CALAMITY.
over Three Hundred Lives Lost

The steamer Lady Elgin, of the Lake
Superior line, left Chicago on the night
of the 7th inst.--she was run into by the
schooner Agusta, off Waukegan, striking
her abaft the wheel. The steamer sunk
in twenty-five minutes, in three hundred
feet of water. The Clerk of the Lady
Elgn makes the following statement;
"The Lady Elgin left Port Chicago at half past
II o'clock foi Lake Superior Among the pas
scngers were the Union Cards, of Milwaukee,
composing part of some 25O excursioniss from that
CITY. About half past 2, this morning, schooner

Lady Elgin when about ten miles from shore
The vessel struck the steamer ut m'dships gang

and dancing in the forward cabin. In an instant
after he crash all was STILL and in half an hour
the steamer sunk. passed through the cabins.
The ladies we're pale but silent. There was not
cry nor shrek. No sound but the rush of steam
and surge of cavy seas. Whether they were not
fully aware OF danger, or whether their appalling
situation made them specchless cannot tell.
Of going round upon the arboard side, to examine
the leak There were two oars, but just at the
moment some person possessed himself of one OF
them, and we were left powerlcss to manage the
boat We succeeded once in reaching the wheel
but were drifted away and thrown upon the beach
at Wnetka Only two boats left the steamer; one
Of them contained l3 persons, all of whom were
saved the other bore 8, but four Of whom reached
shore alive, the others being drowned at the beach.
"Before | lett the steamer, the engine had ceas
ed working the fires having been extinguished, and
within 80 minutes the Lady Elgin disappeared.
"The force and direction Of the wind were such
that the boat and fragments of the wreck were
driven up the lake, and would reach shore in the
vicinity of Winetka. As | stood upon the beach

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET.
ssclmick's Piunder Bill.

We have now got the facts and figures
to show up the Arthur Edwards plumber
bill which Mr.. Helmicls reported in favor
of, voted for and engineered through the
House Of Representatives. 1t is in short
this: Arthur Edwards carried the United
States Mail on Lake Eric from 1S40 to
1858 for which he was to receive one
cent for each letter and one half cent for
oaeh newspaper carried; this amount was
promptly paid him. In 1854 he made
application to the Post Office Department
for an additional allowance of $25, 900
This claim was examined and rejected. -
After this he went to the Court of Claims,
Washington City, where it was again ex
amned and decided against him. After
the present Republican Congress went in
to power tho claim was again raised in
the shape of bill for relief, and Mr.
Helmick reported in favor of bill allow.
ing $50, $50, more than three times the
amount Of the original demand, and voted
for that bill. The bill went to the Pres
iient and by him it was vetoed and, the
enormous increase over the first demand
the President said, was ono of the prin'
cipal reasons for that veto. We do not say
that Mr. Helmick was to receive any part o
the $55, $50 increase; we will publish tn,
facts next week, and people can read anC

One argument and, we admit as
strong an argument as they have yet, or
probably can produce, in the mouths OF
Black Republicans stumpers, is: to use the
name of "STErHEN Arnold DOUGLAS"

to tyrannize over the Territories. The
