Dr.rrlar CemmItsed.

On Saturday last. in Fort Madison, a
young man by the name of Brown, after
trial of several days on the charge OF
stealing the safe from the store of Hesser
& Hale, was committed for trial. his bail
being fixed at 81, 600. Nearly two weeks
ago the safe was taken out Of the store
one night, and found the next day about
SIX miles above Madison on the road to
Denmark. The burglars failed to open
the inside door. Young Brown, who
lives in Denainrk, was arrested on sus-
picion, and on Friday last another young
man, named Hall, who also lived in
Denmark, was taken up on his own ad :.
mission that he was engaged in the bust
ness. His testimony was given at the
trial Saturday morning and he, not being
considered entirely compos memtis, was
admitted TO bail in the sum of $500.

- The rebellion would hare been COM
plete1y crushed out before now had the
pro-s1ayc1y party consented that the war
should be waged for the sole cnd Of saving
the Union But no! they insisted upon the
adoption Of q policy to save both together.
Slavery must ride On the same train with
Union, and the lamentable failure Of the
effort is seen By the world. Rlthcr than
quarrel with the pro-slayey democratic
organization, the Administration adopted
the pro-slavery programme for the conduct
Of the Wat. In its sincere desire to pre-
serve united North, it has permitted its
political opponents to manage the
war pretty much in their own
way. The policy Of the political
friends Of the administration has not been
tried Tor single hour since the lombard
ment Of Sumter though they are held re-
spo1sib1e for the want Of success in militia
y operations, because they are the party
IN power.
Eighteen monthe Of disastrous failure in
the insane attempt to put down the r2:,ell-
ion and preserve its cause, warrants us in
Saying to the pro.slavery Unionists. TINT
the thing can't be done. Slavery must be
thrown overheard or the ship Of state will

JUDGE sCATRs, lEFrER,

JUDGE Scatcs' letter addressed TO the War
Democrats Of Cook e,onntv. which VIC pub
lish elsewhere, is an eloquent and soul
Stirring snpeal to the true patriots Of bis
party, which cannot fail to hare marked
influence not only upon the election this
fall but upon the future division Of parties !
in the State. Judge Scates is re2resen-
4atiyc rather Of Southern Illinois, where the
Democratic strength Chiefly lies, than Of |
Cook county, where he has resided only a |
few years He is known personally in |
every county south OF the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi railroad, aud BY reputation through
out the State, as among the straightcst ofhis
political sect, and as d lifelong friend and
supporter Of Judge Douglas. He has been
1lonored with the highest place on the ju-
<licial bench, and has never been known as
anythinc but an unHayering Democrat,
rather mo1c deeply imbued with prejudice
pcsiust Il abolitionism" than the average Of
his narty in the North.
What has induced Judge Scatcs to sever
lis come 1tiou with the Democratic party,
rs represented in the late Springfield Con
,cution; ;and to counsel the War Democrats
Of the State 10 rpudiate its platform and
rominecs? The answer is simple. Be-
cause the Democratic party has aban-
t1oned its fnith-denartcd from the
patriotlc PRINCIPLES which Stephcn A. Doug
las left as his last will and testament, and
3nrncd Tory for the benefit Of Jeff. Davis
and The destroycrss of the Union. Reason
enough! Judge Scates reviews the plat-
form Of the epsipc6eld Convention with

It is suid that willie one man may rob a
garden with impunity, another is hung for
looking oycr the wall. This old "saw" is
cxtm,liticd by the COURSE of the pro,slayery
fItion towards tho Chicago TRIBUNE.
Whenever there is admitted into its col-
71mns the least criticism Of tho conduct Of
generals Of the rose-water class, the whole
tac1ion set up howl Of denunciation, and
every print in their interest, barks in cl,o-
rus. The sentiment at the bottom Of this
abuse is sympathy Tor the sccessionis:s.
Their Southern brethren" arc rebels.
Before the war broke out these rebels were
their political confreres. They have a
1ankcring for their partisan fellowship
hereafter. They are bitterly opposed to any
disturbance Of tue peculiar Institution, as
that might render future political fraterni-
zation difficult if no: :inpracticable. These
miserable flunkics have small desire for the
restoration Of the Union uulcss the rebel
shareholders are replaced ia control Of
the government, Their furious zeal
for certain generals is founded in
the belief thnt said generals arc
mancuvering to bring about rcstora-
tion Of Bourbon rule; and the fierce mn
1eyolcnce s1lo@n. to other generals who
would strike down slavery to sare the
Union, is readily cxplsined
It is fayoritc expression of these funk
ies, that "thc TRIBUNE is all the time
pitching into the generals But never

bow tho knee to the Baal they worship.
For twelve months past, TINT sheet has
ptu"ed forth constant stream Of ca1umny
upon every statesm4n and officer Of prom

Orion 10 the preservation Of slavery. But
not whimpcr Of objection escapes the
mouths Of these pro-slavery fanatics The
TRIBUNE is the A1ordecai at the Kings
gate that gives them so much offense.
They can perceive the mote in their
ncighbor's eye but not the beam in their
own Sumo Of these jaundiced winners
have the supreme impudcnce to call them
selves Republicans. We believe they
qualify it with the word conservative -
They are conservative Republicans -
The word " conservative" in the political
vocabulary means pro.slayery, or save
slavery. What sort ofa creature is pro
slavery Republican
We rtftr to these things now becausct tht
r7o-slavery hoxlcrs and their "conserya
