mocracy of Illinois. The Douglas State
Committee have issued a call for Con-
veutiou to meet at Springfield, 4th Of Jan.

had previously called Convention for the
same purpose, to meet at Springfield, 1lth

Some of the Anti. Lecompton Democrats
in Congress, have distributed loo, 600
copies each of their Speeches.
The Charleston Mercury very frankly
says "the Democratic party must be q Sou
thern party, or no party. 1t can not serve
shareholders, aud also freesoilers, with their
arrogant and ruinous pretentious." The
Atlanta ga. MtsUiyencer says, "Demo-
cracy is the South" That is what We have
been telling the people, all along.

died at his residence on the Allegheny
Reservation, eight miles from East Ran
doIph, Cat,araugus county, N. Y, Dec. 26,
at the advanced age of l23 years. He
was, probably, before bis death, the Oldest
Indian living. He was iu the French
War, previous to the Revolution; also in
the Revolutionary War, and sided with the

ing,on, acting in the capacity Of runner
and bearer of dispatches. +.

The Charleston Mercury proposes that
only those States shall be represented in

Gov. Magofin, of Kentucky, has
higher opinion Of the ever blessed Union
than any other man living. In bis late
Message, he takes the ground that the
American Union is the ouly hope of free
men, in time and in eternity. We had in
dulged faint hope, that, "ou the other
side Of Jordan" we should be delivered
