Democratic Ticket.

There had been too much ecctionern on the
part Of candidates and Jealous friends for the
primary elections to 60 off as pleasantly as all
good Democrats would desire. This is to be
greatly regretted, the more so at this time when
the hopes of the country hang upon the Democrat.
ic party. For a number of years the State Gov
eminent in the hands of the Republican party has
been an engine Of plunder and oppression OF the
people Taxes has been Increased from, year to
year with promise Of still further oppression in
the future. A vigorous effort on the part of the
Democracy can hur the Goths and vcndals from
power, and it is particularly desirable that the
Democracy of "Gallsnt Little Holmes" should
do their full share in the good work. To do this
we must al, work together. We must not let our
party and country suffer because of the disap.
pointment of men who were anxious for Office

parson with any ticket ever presented to the peo.
pie of the county. We were much pleased with
remark made in our county Convention two wears
ago, which was "The test of n mans Democ.

ward for his trouble will be to cover himself with
lasting shame.

"GiVe up Party"

This is the cry of the Republican lea
ders. "Give up party Tiers no such
thing as party now" "Will you walk
into my parlor said the spider to the ny.'
If there are any Democratic flies that
propose to be caught in such trap as
this We arc sorry for them. Let Demo
Gratis stand firm to their principles. They
will sustain their Government; always
have done so; but it is not quite necessa-
ry that they should become republicans in
order to do it. While they rally to sup
port the flag of our country. let them
stand by those sound, National princi-
pies which have been the basis of our
country's prosperity. Democrats are now
assailed as traitors simply because they
have warned the country of the fearful cr
sis that has come upon us-because they
said that the triumph of sectional par
ty would bring on nm attempt to dissolve
the Union and result in civil war. They
are traitors because they now refuse to
take back their words in the past, and say
they were wrong when tho very evils pre-
dicted are upon MS. 1t is enough to say
at present that when the country's call of
danger has been heard no party has more
patriotically rallied to its support than tho
Democracy. Treason finds no congenial
current in Democratic veins. Marion

Freedom Of Discussion

Not with any surprise, bnt certainly
with inst Indignation, the public are OBJ
serving that the papers formerly the loud
the most violent in its condemnation
They would even inaugurete a system Of
terrorism, to put down the expression Of
opinion that does not square with their
ideas of policy in the present state Of the
country.
But there was never time when It was
more important that the press should be.
free, bold and decisive in its utterances..
We must have the objects Of the war
clearly defined. We must have the rela~
tive duties and rights ofmiitary and civil
authority guarded by courageous vigil
ance. Specially, must we see to it that
the war is waged under the Constitution
and in support of it. not to subvert and
destroy it.
Yet there is not day in which we do
not see propositions made that look to
the total subversion of the principles of
our government; to the introduction Of
principles against which our fathers have
fought, and which. if permitted to get
root and strength in :he popular mind.
will convert our republic into military
despotism, as truly as the Southern Con-
federacy is, and is to be while it lasts.
But if a man raises his voice to remon-
strate against such radical and destruct-
i've sentiments, he is denounced as weak,
irresolute, treacherous dangerous. He is
a marked man. We have always held
that tho highest courage is to stand fast for
the right against the current. AS this is
the the time, of all others. for it's dis
play.
Two great facts ought to be constantly
before the people. The one is that we
profess to be a christian nation. and the
other that we have a Constitution by
which our rulers as well as we are bound.
We are therefore at W ar not for vengeance
not for plunder, not for the extension of
territory, not for the propagation of new
ideas or the overthrow of old institutions.
We are bound to make this war on the
principles which the divine government
and the government ofthe United States
approve. And we are baund to bring it
to an end just SO soon as it is possible to
end it, on the principles of righteousness
and justice. Instead Of regarding him as
timd or false who advocates moderation
with firmness, christian forbearance with
decision and energy, and especially mercy
with justice, we hold him in honor who
stands up in such day as this in behalf
ofthe eternal principles ofthe gospel, and
the acknowledged principles of our free
institutions.-N y, Observer.

The Grave Of Douglas.

For number Of years Senator Doug
las had been the possessor Of noble tract
of land at Cottage Grove, Immediately
south of the city limits on the Lake shore
beautifully wooded and well elevated
above the Lake. This tract originally
consisted of little upwards of seventy
acres, of these, ten acres lying west Of the
road comprising his munifcent donation
to the Chicago University, and now en-
am GRATED by the fine edifice Of that insti
tuition.
OF the residue, some years since choice
tract Of from tw I've to fifteen acres, the
very heart of the property, unincumbered
was Ieeded to Mrs. Douglas. This prop.
erty has only been improved by common
fencing, and the only buildings thereon
are modest cottage and its outbuildings
usually occupied by the person in charge
of the grounds. Without the precise
knowledge of the plans of Mrs. Douglas
relative to this beautiful tract, the finest
in the suburbs of our city and the most
valuable. it has always been understood
by our citizens that here on that charming
site the statesman was planning the cree.
ton of home for his retirement when
laden with the full honors earned in pub.
lie dtuy, he should come home to pass the
evening of his days upon the shores oil
our noble Lake,
1t is here that by the change in the plan
for the disposition of the remains, all that
is mortal of the illustrious Senator, is to
be gathered to the dust, and Cottage
Grove, never his home save prospective
ly will be his last resting place. The love
and affection of his city and State will
see hatnothing is lacking to do adequate
respect to the honored remains, while the
Tomb of Douglas will be visited by
citizens and strangers through all the
long year that will keep alive his name

Republican Votes,

For our own satisfaction we have examined the
Poll Books Of the townships charged with having
allowed Republicans to vote, and rs near as we
can ascertain there were 90 Republicans voted in
Hardy township, 30 in KilIbuck and 30 in Wash
ington. We find one name on the Kilbucl Poll
that we think doubtful about being a citizen of
the county, but in this we may be wrong. II !,
not claimed by any one that all these votes wer,
cast Tor any one man for any Office, but even i
they had 1t would not have changed the result.
Let US see Add tho 63 Republican votes cas-
to the vote of Mn. WILSON and it would still
leave Mr.. NELSON majority but go further
nnd take them of the vote of NELSON and add
them to that of WILSON, and NELSON still has A
majority. In regard to Auditor, no ono will pre-
tend to say that Mr. WrIrnAN received any Re.
puoHc"h votes and If the whole vote cast Mt
Nashville wns given to either Mr.. Conner or Mr.,

the names Of about 40 Democrats from Mecbon

Douglas Last Words.

In his last days, Judge Douglas gave
those who stood near to minister to his
wants. the most convincing assurances OF
the depth and earncstness Of the lively
love of country that filed his heart
In his waking hours. as well as in those
moments when the violence of his disease
unseated his great intellect. he was busy
with national events, and the conflict
that is now upon us 1t was his fast

the country while rescuing it from its on
emies. should go rapidly on. TO one,

tion You at the the Relay House. Move

stand still? let MS press on Let us to
Alexandria quick - TO still another he
said, Telegraph to the President, and let
the column move on - And so. through
the progress of the disease. which struck
him down, he was thinking OF his coun-
try and her peril At Washington in his

which nature had fitted him, and which
would had he lived. he seemed to direct
events and dictate victory. And when
the lucid intervals came, he was. if not so
emphatic, not less sincere. The salvation
OF the Republic was uppermost in his
thoughts by day and by night. His own
condition the imminent peril of death,
h's implicated affairs. gave him no con.
Germ. Almost his last coherent words
were an ardent desire for the honor ami

and dispersion of her enemies. The

sideration and action, two specific propo-
sitious as most likely to lead to pacifica
tion.
1st That Congress shall at once pro-
pose such constitutional amendments as
will secure to Shareholders their legal
rights, and alay their apprehension in re-
gard to possible cncroachments in the fu-
turc.
2. this should fail to bring about the
results so desirable to us and so essential
to the best hopes Of our country, then let
voluntary convention be called, COM
posed of delegates from the people ofall
the States, in which measures Of peacea-
BILE adjustment may be devised and adopt
ed, and the nation rescued from the con-
tinued horrors and calamities of civil war.
To our fellow citizens of the North we
desire to say: discard that sectional and
unfriendly spirit, manifested by teaching
and action, which has contributed so
much to inhame the feelings of the South
orn people, and justly create apprehen-
sion on their part of injury to them.
To our fellow citizens OF the south we
desire to say: Though we have been great
ly injured by your preciptate action, we
would not now reproach you as the cause
Of that injury, bnt we entreat you to re-
examine the question of the necessity for
such action, and if you find that it has
been taken without due consideration, as
we verify believe, and that the evils you
apprehended from continuance in the
Union were not so great nor so unavoid-
able as you supposed, or that congress is
willing to grant adequate securities, then
we pray you to return to your connection
} with us, that we may be, in the future,
as we have been in the past, one great,
, powerful and prosl lerous nation.
, Indications have already been offered
, that a Divine power is ready to interpose
, and prevent brethren from slaughtering
each other While the bombardment al
, For. Sumter continued, no lives were
lost. When a Providental interpo
5 sition was no longer needed to prevent the

: lives were lost in the performance of q
mere ceremony. We would invoke the
presence and aid of that Power to pre-.
serve our fellow-citizens, on both sides,
from slaughter, and we would commit
