Chicago Election.

The charter election in Chicago, on Tuesday
last, resulted most gloiiously for the Republi
cans; the Republican majority is set down al
l40O
No election which ever took place in any wes
tern city, had SO much importance attached to il.
as the election i'll Chicago on u,sday last
Throughout the entire country the result wa,
looked for with great interest inasmuch as il
was given out that the hopes of Douglas in Hi
nois, as well rs his success ut the Charleston
Convention, we're, 10 large extent, dcpendcn,
on the Chicago election. Never before were sucl
desperate Efforts put forth to win, as by the Dou
glas democracy Of Chicago. Conscious If their
numerical weakness, in the matter of legal voter,
in the city, most INSCRIPTIONS resort was had
TO bringing in illegal voting material from othei
towns and cities. 1t is quite probable that some
statements respectiI voters being imported in.
to Chicago from abroad, were exaggerated. bui
still enough is known TO warrant the assertion
that the colonizing of elga! voters from abroad
was attempted on a large scale, and not without
considerable success. But, thanks to the reso-
lutte action OF the Republicans, the ballot boxes
were protected as far as practicable, from the
hordes of illegal voters. who prowled about the
polls. The police reports show pretty good
list ofmiscreants, arrested for attempting to vote
twice. for disorderly conduct at the polls, and
other like offenses.

Democratic Practice.

Our Democratic neighbors have practice OF
making charges against the Republican party,
but scarcely, if ever, attempt to bring the test
mony. They are content with simply MAKING
assertions proof and argument are no part OF
their vocation. The Kenosha ID emocr..t Of last
week brings lot of accusations, note one of which
the editor of that paper i'll ever attempt TO sus-
tain by any other testimony than the usual
wholeSaIe Democratic sny-sO. The following
may be taken as a specimen from last weeks
Democrat, as an assertion on which some ha',
dozen more of the same sort in that paper ar.
pear
''They (Repubicans) profess TO regard the
Constitution OF the United States MS binding nm.
on the States and every citizen thereof yet de-
clare themselves opposed TO its plainest provis
ions, aud eject men to the highest offices within
Ihelr gift who are ledged TO disobey it, and op.
pose It's execution by Others"
Now will not the Editor of The Democrot fry
MS hand Tor onc', at being little definite tell
us what particular section, or clause of The Can
sutntion' Is disrcgarded by Republicans The

A ProsIavery Party.

The Democratic party in the northern States,
IL as essentially proslavery party as the Demo.
cratic party of the South. The action of both
on all national issues affecting the institution Of
slavery is practically the same. The aim of the
Democratic party sonh, is TO perpetuate and en-
large the area of slavery tn, democratic party
north cannot point to sig,e movement within
the past two years to show it has a cOunteracting
policy it utters no protest against carrying sla
very into all the free Territories of the Union,
II has no rebuke for those who avow the policy
Of the party 20 nationaze slavery everywhere.
The Democratic party north makes no complaint
when northern men are driven from the states OF
the south for no crime if they are helped TO a
coat of tar and feathers for mere expression Of
opinion or on mere suspician of being unfriendIy
TO the peculiar institution of the South, the
nor hern Democracy dare not utter word
Of reproOf No northern Democratic newspaper
has a word 20 say, against one of the will anies
connected with slavery they are ms silent in re.
spect to all the evil influences Of negro breeding
and negro trading, as the Democratic journals OF
Virginia or Mississippi. Once the Democracy
of the North, could speak out as boldly as did
Jefferson against slavery but that time has
passed, the party now bows obsequiously and sub
missiveously to the will of the Sonth.
The Democratic party of the North has ceased
to have any sympathy with the cause of human
freedom this is evinced in its treatment of pass
ing events III several of the bordering slave
States, the friends of free labor have for few
years past been struggling, to elevate the condi-
ton Of the white lsboring classes as above slave
abor. What sympathy do these friends Of free
labor ever meet with from Democratic journal !.
In every contest between the friends of free la
Dor and the slave holding interest in Missouri
Kentucky and western Virginia, the norhe n
democracy never fail TO be exu ant over the tri-
umphs of slavery. The victories achieved BY the
free state party in st. Louis and other cities in
Missouri, have never had cheer from
the Democracy, but are always looked upon as
damaging to the National Democratic party
victory at the ballot box on the side of free Ia
Dor in any town or city south of Mason and
DixOns line, is as unwelcome to the northern
Democracy as Republican victory in Maine
No political triumph can possibly please the
northern Democracy. which does not satisfy tn,
negro Democracy of the south, and all such DO
ltical victory must of necessity be pro slavery.
I, is no unfoanded charge therefore, to assert
that the Democratic party in the northern states
is to day, as essntialIy pro slavery, as the Dem
ocratic party in the south.

Candidate For Chief .Juswce.

j. Scott SLOAN, of Dodge County,is the candid.
ate put in nomination by the Republican Con-
vention held at Madison last week fo. tho otf.o
ot Chiei Justice OF the Supreme Court We have
no personal acquaintance with the candidate
but understand he has held the Office of Circuit
Judge OF the district in which he resides that
ne Is man OF talent, and of irrepoaehable NOR
al character. The Convention it seems, was nv
no means unanimous as to the policy of making
nomination for The Office; the vote on the ques-
lion of nominating stood 1877 for to 81 against. -
The question is very naturally asked, what posi-
lion does Scott Sloan occupy on the question
Il State Rights Does he agree with the ma
jority of the judges now on the bench in respect
to that issue? We have NO specific information
'h that point; the presumption, however, would
'eem to be that he agrees with judges Paine and
Cole This presumption is based on the fact,
chat large majority of the members of the Con
vent Ion were State Rights men, and must have
known something about the views of the cand-
late, The Madison Journal protesting to speak
from the book, represents the nomination of
Judge Sloan as compromise between the State
Rights and the anti State Rights members of the
Republican Convention. Whether such was the
understanding to any considerable extent. in the
Convention, is doubtful -a -s. h Il
In the mean time the Democrats. who made
no nomination, it is understood. will very gene
ally unite on Judge Dixon, as their candidate
The political classification of Judge Dixon has
been rather a puzzling matter, and much specu-
ation as to his whereabouts on the issues of the
lay, has been INDUCED in by some of the presses
IT the State. Republicans, in some quarters of
he State, before the late Convention. were in
clined to f. vor the election of Dixea, but upon
what grounds we are unable to comprehend.
1t is also said that calls have been circulated
and numerously signed, asking Hon A D. Smith
to allow the use of his name as an independent
andidate for the office of Chief Justice and
that he will consent to be candidate. If Judge
Smith should be candidate, the contest will be
mixed, as he has many friends among all parties
Such is briefly the position of matters in re
'pect to the Chief Justiceship. The presses Of
The State are not very harmonious in respect to
The candidates. When more light is impaired on
ne subject, our readers will have the benefit Of it

wisconsin i'm the O. s. Senate

Wisconsin is nobly represented in the U. s.
Senate by Senator Doolittle and Durkee; NO
truer men can be found. Senator Doolitte has
distinguished himself during the present session,
by making several able speeches, which have at
tracted attention and commentator, throughout
the free states Of the Union. His speech week
before last, was one Of decided talent and power
The N. Y. Tribune speaks of it as follows =
"Thr speech of Mr. Doolittle of Wisconsin in
the Senate on Friday, in reply to Mr.. Toombs
and IN Vlndication OF the action of the Supreme
Court of that State in the Booth case was s
mastery performance. It was the speech of a
lawyer and statesman, and complete demol;-
ton OF the positions of the vituperative and
reckless Georgian. While Mr.. Doolittle was
able and thorough, both upon principle and au
thorty, in his defense of the judiciary of Wlscon-
sin, he was even more vigorous aud triumphant
in his exposition of the of judicial decis-
ion upon the main points in controversy by tho
Supreme Court of Georgia

ExultafiOu.

We learn there was much rejoicing in Nilwau-
kee on the evening of Mr.. Booths arrest. The
masses who crowd the groggeries, were particu-
lariy Jolly over the occurrence, and imbibei moro
than usual quantities of bad whiskey. Nor were
these jostling Union-savars alone happiied by
the event; those who aspire to higher import
ance In democratic circles, were also exceeding-
~ merry. fDouglas' " alien and sedition''pro-
position should be enacted into law, and under
1t citizens thrust into prison, by the United
States officials for exercising free speech, these
same democrats would applaud and pour libations
down their Threats to the glory of the great dem.
cratic party.
Persons who have a disregard to truth and
honesty, divert attention from the matter at is-
sue, by perpetrating some attempted witticism
on Booth, just as if they supposed Booths pri-
vate character is necessarily mixed in the cues
ton between the United States and the State of
Wisconsin. Whatever may be Mr. Booth. ran.
utation aside from his alleged participation in the
Glover rescuescase, aImatter Of no importance in
the present controversy. The principle involv-
ed pertains to the rights of every citizen in the
