about $50 new counties in Illinois, BY fixing
the minimum territory Of county at 81 con-

proposition to disniss the prosecution against

though he was not guiltless, they felt confidence
enough in the strength Of the ministry to waive
it. Mr.. Olivier said the government could not
accept this proposal, and if tho corps refused TO
aecede TO the demand of the government fer the

the only object Of tn. ministry in demanding the
prosecution was to get rid OF an obnoxious depu.
ty. Then followed an acrimonious discussion
between NJ Olivier and deputy NJ Gambetts.
Immense crowds meantime filled the chamber
and the streets outside, and the proceedings were
frequently interrupted with noisy demonstra.
tions by the audience. Finally the vote was
taken, and resulted in 22o for, and 81 against the
prosecution. 1t is low said the government will

In the Cortes yesterday Senor Mercls'
bill for the gradual emancipation of the
slaves in the Spanish colonies was Consid-
cred in Committee Of the Whole. SenOr
Castillar's amendment for an immediate
abolition was lost by vote Of 4S yeas to
7S nays. 1t was understood in the Com
mitteC that Senor Mcrcls' bill and the
whole subject ought to lie over until the
next meeting Of the Cortcs, when it was
the opinion that measure should be de-
vised by the Government which the Leg
islaturG and the people can approve for
the extinguishment Ofslavery. When the
Committee rose, q resolution prohibiting
punishment by the lash was offered and
carried. Action on Senor Mcrcls' bill
was postponed, and the Cortes adjourned
to the 31st Of October.
Senor Castclar's speech in favor of the
immediate abolition Of slavery has made
him the lion of the hour. It's reference to
Abraham Lincoln attracted the especial
attention of Americans. Castelars ad-
mircrs and the advocates of abolition have
rendered him banquet.

THE TICKET.

SO far rs we have heard, the ticket
nominated ut Parkcrsburg last Wednes-
day by the Republican State Convention,
gives entire satisfaction. The men select
cd as the standard-bearers Of the party
during the coming campaign are well
known. They have been tried, and have
been found faithful and trusty public ser.
wants. Their denomination is an endorse.
mcnt that their administration has been
acceptable to their constituents.
Itis scarcely necessary that we should
speak of the qualifications and peculiar
fitness Of each one Of the nominees for
the position to which he has been assigned
on the ticket. They have fully met the
expectations Of the people Of the State in
conducting its affairs The confidence
reposed in them two years since has not
been violated; and the fact that they were
enominated, except in one or two in
stances, byacclamation,iS is evidence that the
peoples delegates felt assured the pub
lie interests would be safe in their hands
during another term, und they therefore,
with scarcely dissenting voice, committed
them again into their hands. We believe
the people will ratity the nominations
made By their representatives in Convcn-
ton. bya larger majority than that of Oc'
tobcr, ls6s. Let every Republican con
tribute his influence and vote TO that CON
summation. Hl no ..an
