REPUBLICAN TORNADO.

The Republican cause seems to be
sweeping Illinois with the force of tor
nado From all parts of the State we
hear nothing but the one story of the
most intense enthusiasm for Lincoln and
Hamlin. Wherever meeting is an
nounced-and they are being held at all
points in the State-the people come
out as one body to hear and see, and
cheer on the good cause. Trumball,
Yates, Cassius NJ. Clay, Lovejoy and
others, are obtaining at all their daily
appointments immense crowds, and are
greeted with the greatest enthusiasm
Beside these, nearly all our candidates
for Congress and electors are in the field
drawing their crowds; while candidates
for the Legislature and county offices
are holding smaller but none the less
spirited meetings in the various pre-
cincts of their respective localities
Hoffman, Hecker, Kerner, Kreisman
and others are doing noble service among
the Germans.
1t is safe to say that the Republicans
are holding two meetings to the Demo
Gratis one, and that their audiences are
three or four times as large and enthusi-
astic. Wide-Awake Companies are
formed all over the State and the ex-
citemert is without bounds. It beats
the ''C1d Hickory" and Harrison cam
paigns completely out of sight. Not an
exchange but comes to US freighted with
the, good tidings of Republican progress.
There is not note of discord-not a
word of dependency - nothing but
cheering tones, betokening a glorious
and overwhelming triumph over the de-
moralized and distracted Democracy.
Unless we are grossly deceived by the
evidence of our own eyes at home-un-
less all that we read in our Republican
exchanges and hear from Republican
friends who have visited other points in
the State-unless, in short, all the usual
signs fail, "Old Abe will have such a
majority in Illinois as will make him
proud of the "Sucker State The tide
Of Republicanism has set in, and by the
time it reaches its full in November, the
adherents of Squatter Douglas will be
swallowed up as completely as Pharaoh
and his host were swallowed up in the
Red Sea.-Peoria (W.) transcript.

NEW ROUTE TO CINCINNATI.

The New Albany Qnd.) Tribune tells
capital story on Democratic editor
from one of the rural districts. It says
he came to that place to solicit adver-
tisements, and after running about all
day got dry. and as consequence of
getting dry, got "high." He then Wis
tied the Tribune sanctum, where he
made known his purpose to go to Gin
cinnati, and his desire to get on board
Cincinnati boat. How he succeeded the
Tribune tells as follows: ...- 80.
We assisted him down stairs, steadied
him on the sidewalk, babe him good
evening, and away he navigated to the
river AS good luck would have it, a
boat was lying at the wharf, so he
stepped aboard and was quickly on his
way. Soon after leaving the wharf, a
man came around for his fare. He
handed out a five dollar bill, and re-
ceived four dollars and ninety-6ve cents
in change. He rammed it into his
pocket with great eagerness, supposing
the clerk had made a mistake. That
done he leaned back in his chair and

take, he thonght, holding out hand
full of change. The man, as before,
took only FIVE cents, and II. again went
into doze. Ere he had got fairly to
dreaming of home, and of friends far
away; around come the fare collector,
and thus it went on for long time.
At last II. thought it very inconveni-
ent, and concludes to vote the collector
a nuisance, and give him bit of advice
also, so he said:

From the Athens Messenger
LETTER FROM AN FRESHMAN.

We take pleasure in giving a place in
the Messenger to the following communi-
cation from an Irishman-a gentleman
we'll known to not few Of our readers.
Mr.. Manion, In company with several of
his countrymen, marched in the Lincoln
torch-hght procession ON last Wednes-
day evening, and carried transparencies
having on them " Home Protection, :"
"Free Homes for Free Men," and other
appropriate notices and devices:
Hail, Europeans!
Hail to freedom and happiness if you
will. Now is your time to save your
selves and your adopted country from
the grasping paw of the old banditti,
who, like all plundering thieves, have
quarreled among themselves-and for
what but the plundering Of your hard
earnings under the pretense of friend
ship, with a good political name, but no
principle-for all know; Or ought to
know, that it is the principle and not the
name that makes the man or a nation,
We want no man to vote against his
principles; but we wish every man to
read the Republican Platform and Judge
for himself. In it no one will find any
thing against his true interests, or ad-
verse to true liberty, but the strongest
security for both; and not such freedom
as poor Powers received at Charleston.
Letevery man speak without prejudice,
and say what party misrules the country.
The Democrats-or those who call them
selves Democrats-are oppressors, mas
much as they will have low tariff and
thereby encourage, foreign labor, to the
detriment of home industry, home manu-
factures and home improvement-in fact
to the injury of all the poor white man s
labor. Every European can see this;
and we hope that our countrymen Of the
British Isles who left tyrannical and
aristocratic oppression will no longer
in the land Of freedom support their op-
pressive tyrants or continue to labor for
the benefit of their old task masters in
the Old World
Well, then, vote for those who de-
clare publicly and truly that there shall
be no change in the Naturalization
Laws-for those who go hand in hand
for Protective Tariff, for home Indus
try, for Internal Improvements, and for
Homestead Law. Let our countrymen
stand by them and their policy, and as
sist in establishing their principles
Then iron masters will get good price
for their iron and we will get good
wages; then cotton factories will be es-
tablished and our women and children
will have plenty Of work and sure pay )
then the country will flourish, and we
will no longer be sending for English
iron, French broadcloths, calicoes, &C.,
but will make them at home and get we'll
paid for doing SO.
Your friend, TIM. MANtON.

Well Said.

Well Said.
Mr.. James P Clay, like other South
ern pro-slavery orators, has perYerse
habit of stigamatising Mr.. Lincoln as an
Abolitionist. The Louisville Journal,
alluding to Mr. Clay's penchant for this
kind of thing toward his political oppo-
nents, very appropriately says: z
'sIt Mr.. Clay is not old enough 10
know from his own recollection, be
ought certainly to know from the testi-
mony Of others, that his father-his i'm.
mortal father-was never candidate for
the Presidency without being constantly
and remorselessly denounced by tho
whole Of the Democratic leaders, and tho
whole Democratic rank and file, as an
Abolitionist-a thorough and lifelong
Abolitionist. The recreant son ought
certainly to know that the leaders and
the masses of the party with which he is
now acting, always relied upon this in
famous charge, not less than upon the
charge of bargain and corruption, to
work his illustrious father s'destruction.
And, knowing this, he should be espe-
cially careful how he hurls it at man

gle for nearly q quarter Of a century, and

length a gentleman rose and expressed a
wish to say a word to the band Of teach
ers, ON the power Of kindness, and In
the course of his remarks, related the
story l have given above, closing with
these, or nearly these words:
81 am that lad; those were the first
,0ords Of hind,tess [ remember ever to
have had addressed to me. They have
been my talisman, my guiding star
through life. They have made me what
I am, and, God helping me, it shall be
the aim of my life to reward the friend
of my youth, In the oHly Way in my
power, namely, by living SO as to spread,
by precept and example, the influence
of the divine prlnciple Of love which
actuated her.
Miss Almer listened to this recital
with an agitated heart, for she recog-
nized in the speaker the Johnny whom
she had never forgotten. She sought
an interview, and learned his history
How, after leaving his early home, the
love of virtue, which she had reused in
his bosom, was ever leading him away
from evil courses, and urging him to a
higher life.
Need we say to any teacher who may
read this, "Go thou and do likewise?'
All may not meet with SO speedy a re-
ward as did Miss Almer; but let us re-
member that the time is not yet, and if
we labor faithfully, we may hope that
the guerdon shall yet be ours to find
that some poor soul has been rescued
from degradation by our endeavors, to
shine forever, star in the Savior's Cor
onet!
A harsh word will kill where a gem
tie one will make alive.

s@-M. Jobard, French sapant, has
astonished the scientific world. He has

ton, and also of bringing the dead back
to life. He processes to be able to re-
