which We are Row engaged, Nelriy this
whole portion OF Illinois was originally settled
by men from the slave States Of KentlcEy,
| Tennessee, and Alabama. They were poor
men, who left those States because Of the diff
! hculties thrown ia the way OF their advance
ment in wealth and position by the aristocracy
of slavery. As is the case generally in the
| Southern States with those who do not pos
sess slaves, these men, who sought more free
dom in Illinois, were not only impoverished,
but tney were ignorant; and when they cast
their lot on the soil Of free State they car
ried with them shareholders ideas Of demo-
cracy, and stuck faithfully by them in every
election.
II was from these people that the Demo
crats always expected and received the eaor-
nous maiOrities which carried the State for
their party during so many years; and it was
on that very yotg that they hoped to assure a
heavy majority for MCCLELLAN at the late
election. But they counted wrongly, and
were unaware of the astonishing change
which has been in progress 10 that once be-
nichted section since the initiation OF the
Rebellion. Thousands on thousands Of people
who formerly supported every candidate,
good, bad, and indifferent, nominated by the
Democracy, have within the past four years
discovered that the name Of Democracy was
