1t is refreshing in these times of great
trouble in our national affairs, to know that
there is one spot in the North that is true
to the Union and the best interests of
mankind.
Joliet has once more pronounced in tones
of thunder in condemnation of the doctrines
of Repu5licanism. The victory is the most
signal Of any yet achieved by the gallant
Democracy of the city. The majority is
the largest ever before given in the city
proper. 1t averages five hundred.
As will be seen by the official returns,
we swept every Ward in the city-electing
not only our candidates on the general
ticket, but our candidates for Aldermen
and Constables.
This result is most gratifying, when we
consider that our enemies had full tickle
and labored zealoasly 10 its behalf. They
tried trickery and bargain and sale to Gc-
complish our defeat, but without avail
Our cohorts were ready for them at every
point, and their treacherous plans availed
them nothing. In the first, third and fifth
Wards our friends did their whole duty
The first and third have been redeemed
from the thraldom of Republicanism. Mr.
Scheidt has been elected Alderman by a
handsome majority in the third Ward, be-
ing a Democratic gain and Mr.. Werner
has been elected Alderman over the most
popular Republican in the first Ward.
Indeed, Republicansm is now without a
foothold in Joliet. The late election has
wiped it out, root and branch.
All honor, we say, to the unwavering and
patriotic Democracy of our city. They
never falter in the support of the principles
upon which our free institutions were
founded, and upon which they have been sus
tanned against Whigism, Abolitionism and
Republicanism, in their turn. The De-
mocracy, all about US, have been swept
before the mad current Of Aboliti onism
but here fanaticism found rock against
which it dashed in vain.
The Republicans this time thought tC
catch us unawares. They put off theil
nominations until the last hour, and Their
presented as candidates, their strongest anC
best men. But it did them no good Oul
Democratic friends rallied and gave them
worse drubbing than usual. 1t is nov
| definitely established that the Democracy
of Joliet are invincible, and that nothing
but division in their ranks can cause theiI
| deleat.

The Cabinet.

The following is the composition of the
Cabinet selected by President Lincoln:
Hon. W. II. Seward, of New York, Sec
rotary of State.
Hon. Salmon P. Chase, of Ohio, Secre-
tary Of the Treasury.
Hon. Simon Cameron, of PENNSYLVANIA.
Secretary of War.
Hon. Gideon Welles, of Connecticut, Sec.
rotary of the Navy.
Hon. Caleb Smith, of Indiana, Secretary
of the Interior.
Hon. Montgomery Blair, of Maryland,
Post Master General.
Hon. Edward Bates, of Missouri, Attor-
ney General.
While the country is threatened with
war and bloOdshed and desolation from
the sentiments and meas ures advocated by
such men as Chase, Blair and Welles, it
does seem to us that their selection by the
President as his constitutional advisers,
will tend to precipitate the country into
the horrors which it was his duty to avoid
Chase and Blair are particularly odious to
the people of the Southern States. Yet Mr..
Llncoln,in order to satisfy the Abolitionists
OF the North, has chosen them members of
his Cabinet. The selection of Seward,
5 NTH, Cameron and Bates, on account of
their recent avowals in favor of compromise
and concilliatory measures, will be hailed
as unspIcious omens for the future.
