<sVOTE FOR DOUGLAS TO ELECT
BKECKltKIDGR.43

Ex~Gov. John Reynolds familiarly
know.a rs the "Old Ranger" is out in an
address to his Breckenridge friends in this
State, urg1eg them to vote for Douglas. lie
has no word t. say in favor Of Douglas-he
entcrtains the same hostile feelings for his
principles and his course in breaking up
the Democratic party that he Las held for
the las. six ycars-he advises no close alli-
ancc, no public OF prirate attiliation with
the "Douglas rebels, but still he urges
his friends to vote for Douglas; and why:
"Are the Breckenridge men," says he, $50
+'shor-siglned as not to see TINT if they
Support Breckenridge in Illinois, it will
+4elect Lincoln, perhaps by the people, and
"i:a that event Breckenridge is losts Why
A'Rla1d of from n friendly union with any
Democratic ticket 10 save tie count1ys
@'The Cnion ticket in the free States may
"defeat Lincoln, and, 1y means Of the
81 Housc If Representatives elect Breckenridge
=" President" There is the milk in the
cocoa nut. ~Vctc for Douglas" says
The Old Ranger that is the only hope
left Of electing Breckenridge" We have
been telling our Douglas friends, from
time to time, that the only effect Of giving
the vote Of this statc to Douglas would be
to increase the cllances Of Breckenridge,
Here Is good Democratic authority in sup
port Of our position. What do you think
Of it Douglas men2 Are you willing to be
used IN raking Mr. Breckinridge's chest
nuts from the fire.

The st. Louis Republicans journal that

the malignant and unscrupulous reyiler Of

Germans Of St. Louis linen Of Carl
6churz's principles" arc about to rush over
into the counties Of Madison, Monroe and
st. Clair, and Vote the Republican ticket.
-*0ld wantons arc sure to cry Wantonr r
first" an adagc that will be again illustrated
IN the course pursued by that unprincipled
sheet Wcwa our friends, in the cour~
ties named, to beware. The effort Of the
Republican to fix the crime Of importation
aud illegal voting upon our friends in ILL.,
nois, is sufficient evidence that it is &C.
quainted with the iniquities which the
Sham Democracy are preparing to practice.
Just so it beloved about the Free State
when the mn-auders from Missouri were
making their invasion Of Kansas. Just 50
it behaved when the Oxford and Kickapoo
atrocities were pepctrated. Just so it
ncolded and warned when Madison and
6angamon counties were carried for the
pro-slarery men By the ilnportations and
purgcries Of 1858. Let The Republicans Of
st. Clair and the adjacent counties look out
for IN invasion!

may occur hereafter, is it not certain TINT
the Douglas policy will not be the policy Of
the government for the next four years
The President whether it be Lincoln,
breckintidge, or Jo. Lanc-will be oppos-
Cd to it; It will have but ono vote in tbs
SENATE in addition to that Of Douglas HIM

xayed against it; and there il not free
State in the Union which can be relied On
10 support it. Its adoption, then, within

A GOOD ILLUSTRATION.

Mr. Corwin, in his speech ut the Wig
wan Oh Thursday evening, revived an IT,
lustration originally used by Mr. Lincoln
In q speeci, ut 1eayenworth, Kansas, in
1859, to show tho baseless claim Of the
Douglas men th.'t slaves, under the Con-
stitution Of the United States, are property
in the sense TINT lorses, cattle and ships are
property. Said he, @Suppose vessel
breaks from her moorings In Detroit Riv-
$'rf, and fonts over 10 the Canada shore;
t'or; that horse swims the stream and re-
@gales himself in Canadian pasture, and
s'the Canadians should in these and I'll
"other cases refuse to give up the articles
Aor properly which had gone astray-how
~slong would our amicable relations with
~the Canadian government lie maintained
q in the face Of such disrcspect for the rights
"of c,mmon-law property-such want Of
international comityt Yet slavcs-tprop-
"erty' according to the definition of the
6" "South--are every day escaping into Her
"Msjesty's do1.ainions; hut who ever heard
- that they were claimed us merchandise
~'chattcls personal What would be tile
Hanswcr to q demand for them in that
"chasacter? Who ever proposed to 60 to
q war with Great Britain or TO make repri-
~sals on her subjects, because the Fugitive
Slave Law is not executed in her Cauadi-
- dian provinces!"
&. The Illustration, plain as 1t is, reveals the
unteuabIe character Of the Democratic
claim, and the deceit which the orators and
editors Of that party practice when they
pretend to find in the Common Law or in
the Federal Constitution warrant for ab-
solute, unqualified properly in man! We
commend this part Of Gov. Corwin's speech
to the 19nes and ue1aM 1t annihllated
Gov. Seward by calling him Pecksnflan
now let it exercise its Eocabula-

4 Short method with Douchfaces.

j
To the list Of Democratic questions answer
ed in my flEst communication, will add a few
moro, which pretty much exhaust the ob|ec-
tions raised by pro-slaycry advocates.
QuEsT1oS-Does the citizen of State lose
bis capacity for setfgovczument when he goes
TO reside in Territory. If not, why shouldn't
be be allowed to decide for himself whether Or
not he will have slayesY
ASswEn.-As the organic law Of the Terri
tory vas made, previous to his emigration, By
the people Of al the United States, through
their National Legislature, he continues
to live under form Of government which lc
had himself voice in making. This is the
theory ofour Constitution. II the prohibition
IT slavery by Congress, be IN abrogation of
selfEoyernment, SO, also, is The passage of m
organic law not prohibiting slavery, for 1t
would still necessarily contain many other
prohibitions.
Q,-Lcading Republicans ASSERT TINT no more
slayc States will be added to the Confedesacy.
Admitting this to be true, of what further use
is an organization whose purposcit is to check
the spread Of slavery, when there Is no longer
any probability Of lis spreading?
s. A-Leading Republicans predicate their be-
lief that slavery will spread no further, on the
confident hope that their party will hereafter
mold public opinion and shape the policy Of
the Federal Government. Annlhilate the Re
publican party and its principles, and slavery,
having no obstacle In its way, would 70
wherever It pleased-into the Territories. into
the States. into Mexico, into Central America
1t desired. Tue effect Of Repub-
licauiEm has already been to check the snreAd !

FAIR PLAY AND NO C0UGIrG.

Tam FAA1 AND NO GOUG1HG.
Cnder the heading "A Fixed Fact" the
7imes and Herald states Tint it has been
told that:
The Republicans Of thi. civ proposed to
ADD insult to injury By manning the polls bv
1helf bands Of armed and insolcnt Wide
Agnkes, and that the Democracy Will be COM
tisan troops!"
Hewould inform the I. and u. that the
Nlde~Awakes arc no more "arned" than
its Invertebrates" "Litt1e Giants" I'M
vincibles," and other torcl-1ight Douglas
clubs; and SO far from being *sinso1ent," J"
they are much better behaved than their
opponents. The story that 1.-THE Democ-
tracy will be compelled to march to the
"polls between these partisan troops" is as
silly as untrue, and had its origin in weak
or distempered brain.
For some time past the Z. and Il has
been devoting much labor to create dis
turbance at the polls. 1tis poisoning the
minds Of its pattisans in regard to the inten-
tlons Of the Republicans, distorting every
circumstance, and misrepresenting the &C.
tlons Of its opponents -: =
The Republicans desire to have fair,
honest, and peaccab1e election. They will
dono1hing wrong nor insulting towards the
Democracy. They want every man who is
Il legal voterto vote oncx, and no oftener.
The way to the polls will be as free and
open TO Democrats as to Republicans. The
Widc~Awakes will not ask nor exercise any
privileges which they are unwilling to &C.
cord TO the "Evcr-Readies," and other
Democratic clubs; nor win they concede
rights which they may not also enjoy.
What the I. and Il hopes to accomplish
by infaming the passions Of its followers
it is difficult to conceive. Is endeavoring
to create diBturbance-to reproduce the
bloody, murderous scenes Of March, 1852
It looks like that. The Republicans will
repcl aggressions upon their rights; they
viii stand resolutely On the defensive
They propose to trespass upon no body
They desire that the road to the polls |
should be as open 10 legal voters and |
rs safe and easy Of approach as the road to |
church. But for ballot-box suffers, for
persons not lawfully entitled to the ftan-
chisc, they intend to make it thorny path
like the way Of the tranBgressor- hard
road to trayel
If the I: and II would employ its inilu-
a,ne with ito nar4xr r. 1-na,1 ox..o%- fno~. |

4 DEMOCRATIC ARGUMENT.

On Wednesday evening, just after Gov.
crnor Corwin had commenced speaking in
the Wigwam, q aprocession Of Douglas men,
numbering not over twenty-five, with a
| band Of music, banner and torch-lights,
crossed over Lake street bridge and march
ed cast to Clark. In the rear Of this little
crowd, and evidently making part Of the
show, was gang Of young men, one
Of whom was mounted On mil carried On
the shoulders Of others; around his neck
was rope, the other end Of which was
carried aloft On pole-the whole intended
to represent the hanging Of the Republican
candidate, HONEST ABE L1ScoLSt
We leave to others the expression Of the
indignation which such spectacle in the
Republican city Of Chicago may well ex-
cite; and appeal to such decent men, as are
not already in the Republican party, to set
the seal of their Indignation Oh acts like
that Of which We complain. Abraham
Lincoln is an htaored citizen Of Illinois. In
the history of bis rise from obscurity to the
commanding position which he now occu-
pies, there Is not a line which We would
wish to see erased. 11alignity has done
its worst and is yet rnable 10 point to a
blotch on Ills reputation IS 4 citizen or
man. lie has earned his soubriquet, and
wears his honors as mcekly as man can
But lie believes that human slayery is q
cruel and improbable wrong, aud that its
extension into Territories now free would
carry with it curse and blight That is
he sum Of his offence, if VIC may except
lis conspicuous ability which has made him
he leader and representative Of the party
'ased on the iee-soil idea to which he
aolds. Yet for this, he is hung in ettigy, at
he tail of an Irish procession, in the prin-
'ipal city Of lis own State! /
There is this to be said: That the day is
'oming in which, in this country, it will be
10 hanging matter to believe in the inalien-
BILE and natural rights Of man-black men
nd white; and that the misguided zea1ots
rho have not the courage to attempt the
section Of real gibbets upon which men
lay be hung for opinions sake, but con
mt themselves with IN imitation Of the
'ay in which Democracy is enforced and |
lustrated in the South, where Democracy
the only Law, will be shamed into an OBJ ,
ervance of the decencies which they do
OF affect.
The procession Of which we speak q
arched east on Lake, to Clark; and north {
Clark, we know not where. The dumb +
'ow was kept up as long as We observed (
everywhere the pro-slavery men greet :
| it with applause. {
