81 The Chonicls Of the Vest Ger
man paper Published at Rock Island, ILL.,,
thus informs It's readers Of the origin OF
the "Wide Awakes:"
"Thc gentlemen of the Wide Awake
Club who are now so zealously blowing
their horn, do not appear to know what
historical "reminiscences are attached to
this name. The title wide Awake first
acquired notoriety in 1854, when il
graced those bands OF nativists who some
what later acquired such celebrity under
the name of 'know-nothings.' Persons
who lived in New York in 1854 will re
member the outrages which those white
hated loafers who called themselves
Wide Awskes' repeatedly committed
upon the Germans of New York, Brook
Ign, and Williamsburg. For the sake
of decency, the republican battalion'
should have adopted different cogno
men,"

EN-Col Daniel Munger, an old and
almost historicel Democrat of this State,
has inst published letter in which he
takes offence at the slight put on Gen.
Cass by the State Convention refusing to
invite him to be present at its delibera-
tons. Mr.. Munger goes for Breckin-
ridge, if he has to vote alone.
In 1913 Col. Munger, who is never
"all right" except when his nose is in the
public crib, supported Gen. Cass very re-
luctantly because Cass was not sufficient
ly Stree soil" in his opinions. Having
lost sight of his landmarks" the Col.
is now aaoat, and where he will bring up
there is no telling; neither is it of much
consequence, forhe was elfectually "played
out" years ago, and has since been
kicked and cuffed about by democrats
whom he has Disguised with his importu-
mites, till "there is no breath left in him
as you can perceive Of" A fit subject,
he, for black republican commiseration.

Cause for Alarm.

One of the trustees of the Insane Asy-
lum at Kalamazoo, in recent communi-
cation to black republican sheet, speak
ing Of the institution, holds the following
language:
1--WE are very much crippled for the
want Of monoy--the State Treaeuror not
being able to pay us but part of the mon
ey appropriated to finish the buildings.
live had the balance of the appropriation
the institution could accommodate $50
patients by fall with about the same ex-
pense as at present. As it is, we have
been obliged to suspend the work on the
buildings"
This tells the same old story. An ap-
preparation of more than one hundred
thousand dollars was made by the Lcgis-
lature for the completion of the Asylum,
and here we see the result. a good por-
ton of it has been and still is withheld,
and the buildings are left in On incom-
plete and unfinished state; patients are
refused admittance because there are no
accommodations for them, and everything
languishes. 1t is not stated that the
officers of that institution are unable to
obtain their salaries, like the officers Of
some of the other State institutions, but
it is probable they are all i'll the same
boat.
1t was year and half ago that the
appropriation was made for this Asylum,
and it yet remains unpaid Immediately
after the adjournment of the Legislature
the Treasurer was called upon for the
amount, but he replied that the treasury
had run dry and nothing could be had
until the taxes were returned in February
last. The people have paid in and are
now paying in q tax of more than three
cents on the dollar, higher than it ever
was before, and more than ten times as
high as when the democrats went out OF
office, and still the money is withheld
More than one hundred and seventy
thousand dollars were paid into the
treasury last February for the benefit OF
the charitable and educational institu
tions of the State. Where is this money!
What has become Of it? Why are not
the appropriations paid? When the peo'
pie are eaten up by taxes, they have an
interest in knowing these things. Why
is it that State warrants are hawkcd
around the streets, that the funds belong
ing to the educational institutions are
withheld, and that the appropriations fol
the charitable institutions are not paid!
Why is all this, while above hundred
thousand dollars are loaned out to black
republican brokers, while tolls are in
creased, taxes doubled and quadrupled
AMI lots of fifty thousand dollars lost an.
stolen at single swoop? The affairs o
the treasury and of the State are certain
ly in an alarming condition, and homes
men may well pause startled and astonish
ed at the contemplation.--Free Press.

The Hand writing Upon the Wall.

The black republican journals of New
York fully comprehend the significance
of the movement of the Bell and Everett
men Of that State. The ~. Y. Commercial
AdrertiSer says:
"The proceedings Of the Bell and
Everett convention at Utica last week
pretty clearly indicate the policy that
party intends to pursue, and it behooves
republicans to meet it by increased activi-
ty and more complete organization. 1t
is no longer concealed, or but very faint
ly yelled, that Mcssrss. Bell and Everett
are, in this State at least, to be thrown
overheard if ultimately necessary for the
defeat of Mr.. Lincoln, and the support OF
their friends is to be given to Mr.. Doug
las, the candidate of the northern democ-
racy. We are led to such a conclusion
by the tenor of the speeches, and by the
only action taken, at the convention.
The Albany Erening Journal, says the
.Ara,g of that city, Exhibits both anger
and fright at the prosPoot of some sixty
thousand conservative voters marching
into the Douglas camp, and proclaiming
the champion Of non-intervention the
true Uuion candidate in this crisis"
The black republican leaders all over
the county exhibit both anger and fright
at the prospect. And well they may,
for LINCOLN may carry every other north
ern State and without New York he will
be defeated. He might not carry Cali.
fornia, Indiana and New Jersey, aud still
be elected if New York were for him.
SO New York is absolutely essential to
his election. r....A
He will not have it. The Handwriting

so far as he is concerned, is closcd!-Free

IL The New Orleans Crescent says:
"Within the last few days it has become
evident that the Douglas wing of the
democracy have plucked up courage, and
that their confidence has wonderfully in
creased. This is more particularly the
case in the South. When the news OF
the disruption at Baltimore first arrived,
there seemed to be prospect of a gen
eral stampede among the Douglasites in
the South, and we expected that in a
short Tina they would cave in and give
up the ghost. Instead of that they adj
here to their cause with tenacity worthy
of all admiration, and we confess our
selves surprised at the formidable appear
ance they now present in nearly every
southern State"

Excellent suggestions.

The Albany atlas and argus has the
following suggestions for the Democracy
of New York, and they arc equally as
important in Michign. l.l
Let us urge on our friends the necessity
of doing three or four practical things:
form Douglas clubs Tin all the villages
2. Circulate papers and documents.
3. See that frequent meetings are held
in each school district; to be addressed
upon the issues of the day. Do not wait
for distinguished "star" speakers from
abroad, but let the young men of the
country take hold, and do their duty
thoroughly.
4. Let accessions to our ranks be
chronicled by the press. Let those who
join our standard appeal to their fellow
citizens, in published addresses, to unite
with them.
5. Let the the work of canvassing the
election districts commence now, and go
quietly and thoroughly on to the end.
IL this is done we shall beat Mr.. Lin
coin, in disastrous manner. He will be
given up before the contest commences;
and when the great body of his support
ers see that the alternative is Douglas or
a Secessionist, they will not hesitate to
choose.
STILL THEY CoME.-Among the acccs
sions to the democracy from the black
republican ranks in Calhoun county is
cx-Sheriff II. NJ DIXON, Of Marshall, who
has been one Of the main-stays of the OPP
position, and has done as much to build
up and maintain the party as any man in
the country. In 1854 he was elected
Sheriff on the black republican ticket,
and again in 1856, by unprecedentedly
large majorities. One gentleman from
Calhoun states that within the Immediate
circle of his acquaintance there are at
least fifty who have here tofore acted with
the black republicans who will now vote
for DOUGLAS and BARRY. Calhoun will
give a good account Of herself in Novem.

says: "The democratic people are fast

Gentlemen from Columbia inform us that
there are seven out of eight hundred in
that county. From Lincoln we hear of
none. In Wilkes there are a goodly
number, but they are very anxious to
compromise. The Franklin democracy,

"From every quarter of the State cheer
ing intelligence is daily received. The
whole of the enthusiasm and vigor in
Kentucky is monopolized by the democ-
racy for Douglas. The secession move
mcnt is confined to but few; its meetings
are not full or enthusiastic; its leaders
doubtful and trembling. We have yet
