CHICAGO. Nov. 18th, 1870.-Mild weather
continues. This morning few flakes Of
snow fell, but it soon cleared off bright and
warm. and 1t seems more Ike september
than November.
THE ELECTION.
Since my last letter we have had an excited
election, with bitter and disgr8ceful person
aties the Congressional issue as the
main staples IN the canvass. The Tribune
bolted the Republican candidate for Con-
greas, Chas. 3. Farwell, of the Wholesale
dry goods house Of john Y. F4rwell Il Co.
and united with the Times and the Democ-
1acy on John Wentworth as a reform candi-
date, and was beaten by over 600 majority.
The Times repudiated Wentworth after the
election, declaring that his course had been
such through the canvass that II did not re-
greet HIS defeat There Is very strong feel
ing among Republican business men against
the Tribune, tor its course during the can
yass, and it has evidently lost cast among
strict party men. But as 1t took this course
of deliberate choice, it doubtless anticipated
the consequences OF such step at the out
set. The Re publicans made a pretty clean
sweep in both city and county, but have fallen
off largely in the state.
THE WHEAT MARKET
is not very animated, No. selling at 81 Ola
l 05. Receipts the past week were 334 $40
bushels, and shipments 81 ,289 bushels. Tne
European news rendering a general war
probable encourages holders to hope for d
rise, but all such expectations are uncertain.
BUSINESS
Is fair, but not unusually active. The course
OF trade Ia healthy-not speculative.
THE RELIGIOUS PRESS.
Chicago has become the radiating point for
religious, well as secular, influences for
the great Northwest, and for ability, enter
prise, scholarship, breadth OF views and
vigorou pltty, It's religious press Will bear
favorable comparison W tn that Ct Boston or
New York. The centre OF popu alton and
empire has passed from the saaboard to the
mississippi Valley, and the people living in
the Mississippi basin are hencefurth 10 give
law to this continent We need a distinct
I've literature, religious "a well az secu ar
adapted to the genius aud wants # the We.t

billy which il imposes. 1t is not disres pect-
full TO our Esstern brethren, or assuming TO
be wiser or better than they, To say that the !
men who 1--we III the Great West and are a
part OF t can better comprehend it's necessi-
ties and provide for them. Politicians anu the
point cal press here long ago attained their
majority here, and it Is time that religious
people at the west ceased to look to the ez ST
for their supply OF religious nt Wspspers-
especially since they can now be supplied as
well, If not better, at home. And IL is duty
they owe to themselves to sustain their
home press.
