Address OF the Dem ocratie state Cen.
trail Committee

DEMOCRATIC STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE
RooMs, SPRINGFIELD, Ill.,, Oct. 10, 1865
To the democratic and conservative voters
Of Illinois; Viewing the late elections in
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana in their
proper light, there is nothing to depress,
but much to encourage us. These elections
are comparable to so macy skirmishes
preluding the decisive battle remaining to
be fought by the opposing political parties
in the approaching November. They
have disclosed the warning power of the
radicals, and the increasing numbers and
strength of the democracy. They have
won for us tactical position which, COM
bined with the justice Of our cause,
should, and no doubt will, with proper
effort. insure our ultimate success. The
specific facts on which this statement il,
founded are eninently worthy of at least
q passing notice.
The majority of the radicals in Penn
sylvania in 1864 was 2O,O75 votes; in
Ohio, 59.5S6 votes; in Indiana, 20, 1879
votes. These were tho results in three
great states in the contest between Lincoln
and Mcclellan for the presidency, when
| the radicals were in the heydey OF their
power. Now, how altered their condition
and prosperity How fallen their great
nessl The sceptrc is dropping from their
nervclcss hands. Defeat and disaster are
irresistibly closing upon them, as the great
waters close upon the depths of the dark,
deep sea. They have lost in the October
elections, upon the congressional ticket,
in Pennsylvania, about $4,000 votes: in
Ohio. about $4,000; in Indiana, about
20, O00,-making total loss, in only three
states, Of 1900 votes, and an equal gain
to the democracy. Almost the smallest
imaginable proportional increase on this
gain would give us all three of those
states, and, consequently, the presidential
election. One more such victory, in the
language Of the warlike Pyrrhus, would
utterly undo our advesaries.
Let US, then, patriots, democrats, and
conservatives, one and all, lend our utmost
endcavors, hcroically, devotedly, to the
contamination of this great end. The
auguries are most propitious, importing
change Of time and states. Public
opinion, with flood tide, is irresistib!y
setting in our favor, and revolutions never
go backward. Our cause is just, and
must prevail. Constitution, liberty, un
ion, progress, prosperity, are the stake 70,
which we contend, in the eye OF nation,
and the judgment of mankind. Friends
once more to the breach. and the day vii
be ours. JOHN a. McCLERNAND,

How long do the people of this county
desire to have one single faction govern
their county Offices? Is it not time there
was change? The barnaclcs here have
run the thing for the last ten years their

don't know how and for what the money
is spent.--loca Erchcnge.

MENDOZA strong effort is being made

Rev. RIcuAaD NAGLE.
Dear Sir:-I rejoice that our excellent
Bishop Hogan has sent Clergyman oil
your experience to us. now gee plainly
that we will have church this fall, and
next summer, n Sisters school can be added
to it. Our Catholic population is not
large here yet, but very well off; jealous
and liberal. In fact, our whole people
are willing to do anything in reason, to
promote education and the interests Of
religion. The intelligent Protestants oil
this region are very liberal towards
Catholics. They begin to learn that the
old church never stirs up strife amongst
the people. They see that in war or in
peace, it still breaches the same doctrine,
and this is making deep impression in
favor Of its followers. On the whole,
Dear Father, is it not pity that SO many
Of our people who are living in less favor
able localities, and who have ample means,
are so little informed about the advantages
of Missouri.
The climate is excellent, and there is no
better soil in the U. S. This county OF
Carol in which reside, abounds in
vacant land of the best quality-unim-
proved land can be bought for from 800
to $500 an acre, according to fertility
and locality-and improved land for from
$1,000 to $1,000, according to locality and
improvements. All this land yields boun'
tiful crops of hemp, tobacco, corn, wheat,
rye, barley, oats. and vegetables of all
kinds. 1t excels also as grass and fruit
country--and wood and coal are abund-
ant. What blessing it would be for
many Of our people, if they could be
induced to exchange the precarious life of
the city for the independent life which
men lead upon their independent farms in
this fine country. Pardon me for touch
ing upon this, but it ought to excite the
attention Of those coming west.
Yours respectfully,
JAS. SHIELDS.

THE radicals rejoicing over tho elections
in Penns, lvania, Ohio, Indiada and Ne
braska, remind us Of an old fellow who
went to Nebraska and Kansas with fifty
thousand dollars. and pat it all into wild
cat land speculations, and in 1857 returned
home with about five thousand dollars

your speculafions Said he, Did well;
got home with $4,000"
This is the way the radicals carried
these states. They went into the elections
about one hundred and twenty five thous-
and strong, and got out witt a loss of
100000, and now shout ''Victory T. with
this immense loss staring them in the
face !-Frecport Ill., Buuetoa.

QUESTIONS FOR RADIcALs.-If recon-
struction is success, why isn't the army
withdrawn? If the Radicals want peace,
why did they propose to arm the negroes ?
If the Radicals mean equal rights, why do
they advocate one currency for capital and
another for labor? If the negroes can
vote for themselves, why pay Bureau to
teach them? If the radicals mean equal
rights, what do they put the negro above
the white man for? If the Radicals mean
impartial suffrage, why does their platform
say one suffrage North and another South?
If the Radicals want peace, what are they
running their candidate on his military
merits for? Is it impartial suffrage to en-
franchise the black and disenfraachise the
white man.

Letter from Missouri.

Letter from Missouri.
We are in receipt Of a letter from this
worthy priest, late of McGREGoR, now OF
Carrolton, Carol Co., Missouri. It bears
date, "Oct. 14th." Father Magic honors
us with a commandments that he
likes us the best, but because our
convenience for noticing his location, will
give all his McGrcgcr friends a ready
advice of his whereabouts. lie has made
the favorable acquaintance Of the distin-
guishcd Ex-senator Of tno States, GEN.
JAMES SHIELDS, whose farm is near
Carrolton. Bishop Hogan Of that Diocese
was school boy with him, and of course
he is at home. The Padre has often called
US q "bad boy"-and we guess he was
right-bus its not cur intention TO be
"bad" when We publish the following
very kind and interesting letter received
by him from Gen. JAMES SHIELDS. The
letter was not designed for publication,
but it's hints may be of use to many, and
for that reason, Mr.. n. enclosed us copy
of it to use at our discretion.
