An Unexpected Ally.

The Peoples advocate, . neutral or, rather,
independent paper, published at Wilmington,
Will county, throws of ito NO party garb on the
congressional question in this district since the
nomination of Mr.. Cook, and walks into that
gentleman rough-Ahod. The advocate lays down
the following as the basis of its political action
Fish for the best man without respect to par
ty lines. The only platform to be recognized
now ia: Let the government be restored to its puri.
ty and let the rorkers Of iniquity be cast out"
Acting on this principle, the advocate finds
itself constrained to support Julius Avery for
congress in this district. and to oppose Mr.. Cook
In Mr.. Avery it finds . young man who has
"built up proud record thus far, and will be
sure not to diminish its lustrs BY the addition
of future pages. He will show the district the
difference between political righteousness and un.
righteousness He will say to the corruption that
is abroad, put on interruption, and to the venal
Office holders put off your venality."
In Cook the Adsocate sees nothing but the
venal trading, ring-governed politician.
The Corwin letter. it afirms. tells but the
truth honestly as to how he comprised his nom.
ination. In plain terms, it was purchased"
And it brings against him this grave charge:
A number of the former residents of Will
county, who still have numerous friends here,
are settlers upon the Cherokee lands, which. at
ter the settlement and occupation by pre-emp.
ton, and the securing Of title thereby were sold
from under them in one grand omnibus sale, to
Hiram F. Joy, to hold for eastern capitalists
through the aid of such men as Cook in Congress.
And since then Cook has been one of joys chief
retainers in preventing the people from getting
their lands back. Large numbers Of Western
settlers, as all well know, have been ruined by
this nefarious swindle. How does Cook excuse
himself for thisY
The Advocate hitherto, as an Independent pa.
per. with strong radical proclivities has been
marked for its manlincss and courage in support
ing the right against the wrong regardless of
frowns or favors, and has thus gained for itself
a marked influence in Will county, which can
not Jail to tell heavily in favor of Mr.. Avery in
this contest.

Their Record.

The Chicago Post, reviewing the history Of
the republican party, sums up its good deeds
during the 20 years of Its existence, in the
| subioined list. The Ottawa Republican is SO
well pleased with the resume that it copies il
conspicuously:
u. The homestead law"
1t was introduced in congress by Andrew
Johnson while democrat, and as democrat
ic measure passed by democratic votes
80. The emancipation of four millions of
slaves"
They were emancipated as the unavoida-
bic result of the suppression of the rebellion,
to which more democrats gave their lives than
republicans.
"3. The suppression of the rebellion"
1t was done as largely, at least, by demo-
cratic soldiers as by republicans, and it Is a
lie to claim as the work Of a party what was
essentially Il work of the northern people
without regard to party.
"a. The construction of the railway to the
Pacific
1t was done by voting $4,000 mile out
of the public treasury, more than the road
cost, and by distributing $25,OO0,0OO of stock
among corrupt lobbyists and congressman to
lee the Ubiquitous steal through congress.
%. The reconstruction of the southern states
on the principles of justice and freedom"
The Reconstruction" consisted in placing
the southern states under the domination of
carpet-baggers, scalawags and british negroes,
who tyrnnized over and robbed and plumber
ed them for four years so UNANIMOUSLY that the
Reconstruction acts are losing their force and
dying out from the sheer lnfamousness of their
character.
6"The reform of the system of conducting the
public offices, whereby immense sums of money
are annually saved to the people.
The republican congressman Dawes said in
speech. in congress that "the system of
conducting the public offices" inaugurated by
republican rule was such, that more money is
stolen from the government each year than it
took to defray all the expenses of the govern
mcnt before the radicals came into power.
7. The destruction of Indian and other
had been vast and constant.
8. The Inauguration of an Indian policy at
once Just, humane and successful.
Indian rings were unknown before the
republicans came into power, and attained
perfection under the rule of Halan and Pom.
eroy, leading to such 'humane policy" as
the infamous butchery of the Piegans under
Sheridan and Baker
8. The reform of the revenue system, where
by taxation is largely reduced, and the way
paved for further reductions, to the invaluable
benefit of the trade and comerce of the coun.
try.
The people pay more taxes to-day than
any time during or since the rebellion, the only
difference being that half the taxes go to feed
corrupt monopolsts and revenue plunderers.
II this is the only sort of glory the radical
praty can claim for itself after ten wears of
infamous rule the less said about it by them
the better and the sooner the party is wiped
out the better for the country.

CENSUS OF ST. Louls.--Thc census figures
OF st. Louis have taken the public by sur.
prise In 1860 the population of st. Louis
was lG0,,13; in 1864 it had decreased about
5000, whcrepon Chicago set up chuckle, and
has ever SINCE looked down upon st. Louis as
aslow-going, slow. growing second rate sort Of
interior village. Now St. Louis looms IN
with population Of 1868, which places it
about $1,000 ahead of Chicago The growth
of Chicago has hitherto been the standing
mar.e o! material prosperity in the west, but
hereafter St. Louis must he looked upon as at
