The opposition press is anxious to
make it appear that Illinois has at
length ''gone back" on the Republican
party, So far from this, the only
counties in which party lines were
drawn show Republican gain, as
compared with the off year elec-
ton Immediately preceding tho
election of last Tuesday. This is an
undeniablc fact, aud it is an abundant
answer to the absurd pretensions of
the enemy. The four counties lefer-
red to are Lafayette, Madison, Saline,

CORPUS CHRISTI, Nov. 10--A bold
robbery was committed on the 9th in
this county, at Conception, by q gang
of about eight armed Mexicans, who
entered the store of Mr.. Schurart,
about 6 o'clock in the evening-car-
rying away q large amount of money
and arms. No steps were taken to ar
rest the flight of the band, who
are supposed to have fed to Mexico.
The boldness of the robbery shows
the inefiiciency or lack of policemen or
troops. Several of the band were
recognized, among whom were Leon.

Abram Garcia, three noted despera-
does. 1t is hoped that proper protec-
ton will be granted.

The Chicago Tribune, which oppos-
ed Washburn and the Republican tick
eli in the recent contest in Wisconsin,
has an intelligent correspondent at
Oshkosh. in that State. who was also
hostile 10 Washburn, hut who. in re-
cent letter to that paper is constrained
TO make the following resume of the
fight and the causes which brought
about Washburn's defeat, to-wit:
LIST. THE Grange movement. This,
| am inclined to think, had less TO do
in changing the political statue of the
people than is generally estimated.
Washbum was personally popular
with the Changers. aud his record for
twenty years past is such as To COM
mend him TO every Anti. Monopolist.'
ID. The liquor interest. Wash
burn in his first annual message, urged
upon the people of his own &C.
cord. the adoption of more stringent
laws to govern the sale Of Intoxicating
liquors and the Executive influence
took shape, during the subsequent scs.
sion of the Legislature, in the bill af.
forwards known as the Graham Lilo.
nor law Governor Washburn's in.
fuence has always been strongly in
favor of sumptuary legislation and
this has, as might have been expected,
reused the ire ofthe Germans, and the
liquor-selling interest generally. 1t is
a fact susceptible of proof, that a large
sum OF money was distributed in each
of the large towns by the Brewers and
Liquor Sellers Protective linton fol
the defeat of Washburn. 1t will be
noticed, in consequence, that almos,
every city and large town in the Stale
has gone against him. Anomalous a.
il may seem, Taylor has been com
mended to the temperance element a
Good Templar, while the liquor in
ierest has gone for him in body
Sd Railroad complicaiions. Gov
Washburn's firm action in the matte
of the Wisconsin Central, and also i
the controversy which grew out of tn
famous ST. Croix Land-Grant, VI
doubleday tended to weaken the Go,
ernor in the estimation of many Of h
friends. History, however, will al
prove his course III this instance.
II il true that various and conflit
ing causes defeated Washburn, amor
which was the temperance question
detailed in the correspondence aboy
but yet We disagree with the core
pondent in saying that the Grans
movement was not the chief cause.
will be recollected that such actiC
was had in various counties in Wi
consin during the canvass throus
which Democracy captured nearly g
of certain Oranges that the officers

sue an order reminding Changers tn

The New Democracy.

So far as we have observed the shib.
boleth Of the New Democracy Of
Tammany Hall, led by the eminent
bully John Morissey, is to be the pay
ment to the south of $4OO,OOOOOO for
emancipated slaves. The Richmond
Whig of the 9th has the following tn
confirmation of this theory:
ave give place to letter from tho
Hon. r. M. T. Hunter, explanatory of
his recent address before the Shenan.
doah Valley Agricultural Society, in
Winchester, in which he discussed
the claim of the STAKEHOLDER to some
compensation for the loss of pi operty
secured to him by the constitution Of
the United States, and wrested from
him by the strong arm of the military
power in defiance of that instrument
and the plainest principle of common
justice. Mr.. Hunter clearly points out
the mode by which this great wrong
may be redressed, and that, too, with
out violating the constitution.
We cordially indorse his views, and
hold that the southern representative,
who fails to urge the claims of our
despoiled people in proper season, will
be recreant to his duty and faithless to
the trust imposed in him. If there be
grounds for technical objections, let
them be urged by our late enemies, but
not by the members of our own house
hold for we believe ifw are but true
to ourselves, the time will come, as
indicated by the latter published from
a distinguished northern gentleman to
Mr.. Hunter, when the north will re-
cognizc the justice of the claim and the
propriety of its liquidation in some
form that will bring great relief to onr
people,"
