Aud now that victory, complete and
unsullied as now, and the passions
naturally emremlered in the heat ot
the canvass are cradualls* eoolint:, it
may nol hr* unprofitable to take a
ha-ty glance at the ground we have

marv of the points that have been
sol nnly adjudieated and pertna
neni ly settled by the A nierk-an pi *ople
in the election ot (sen. (Irant to the
l*i csidency.
And first: T ic union of the Slates
lias been maintained, and its perpe
tuity guaranteed, by this eler*tion. in
a sense and ssitli a force that were
never before* enunciated svhrn the
4u.sf.ion was involved 1 do not

Mr. Se\mour would have necessarily
h i to a separation of the* States,
though there are not wanting fac ts of
great si>mtlcane*e that might well
justify 'Median infereime and sub a
fear. Bi t w hat 1 do mean is, that
the triumph of Hie lh*nioe*ratie party
under tin rt*l>el lead, and the formal
installment of that element in su
preme executive control, would have
and. st roved the* t rue aim and spirit ol

not mean that it has adjusted the de

I liave had occasion m another
State to speak of Tin- integrity of Il
linois at ;i time of great tinan.-ial em
barrassment, when ii wa-s said that
she would repudiate. 't hen with an
immense debt upon us, our produce
"as xvorthless and our hanks failing
to '-ii<-1i an extent that it was estima
ted tliat there was not enough good
uioii *v in the S(:ite to pay the inter
est on the debt for one single year.
I'hat Illinois was true to herself and
would not eonsent to either open or
eovert repudiation, hut paid every
dollar, is due, to a great extent to
the Kgyptians.
Hut 1 wish to apeak of a grand
chapter of Egyptian history, which,
if more generally read, would give
tin* country an excellent opinion of
Southern Illinois. In lslß, Illinois
w as udm tted into the I’nion w ithout
slavery, it having been dedicated to
freedom hv the ordinance of 1757.
i w o years later .Missouri w as admit
ted with slavery. During the sim
mers of JsiM and Is-JJ, the roads lea 1-
ing through this part of the Stave
were alive with long trains of teams
and stock and gangs of slaves, the
property of wealthy Virginians emi
grating to Missouri. These lordly
planters said to the Egyptians who
• ■aine out to see them, “Wo like I lit
mus heiter than Missouri, and would 1
stop here with our wealth and im
prove your eonntry, if weeouhihold
• \ii property p-daves;. Hut you pru

The conclusion is inevitable that the
constituents ot the sun are much the
same as those of the earth. When
this fact is shown of tin* great cen
ter ol the system, the conclusion as
to the other members is of course 1
greatly strengthened. Thus mu* dif- !
ticuity, which Dr. Whewell regard-i
ed as iusurmotin table, has been par
tially compassed.
lint we know inor* of tin* planets
themselves than Dr. Whewell
thought possible. He held it doubt
ful whether they have an atmos
phere 1 ike tha I of the earth. The
spectroscope seems t>> have solved
the doubt inthe ease oi someofthem.
As they shim- only hy relleete.l light,
il might have been assumed that
nothing eon!.) l.e learned of them l.s
this instrument, lor, of course, H i*

ease as iu Uie o'her. lint in oh.-ei s
iug Mars, t he spt * l iiaim waf.imd t*
he crossed hy bin s only appearing
iu that of the sun ss hen near setting,
so thal his light passed through a
denser strata of .uir atmospheiv. To
find whether these lines arose from
anything in the earth’s atmosphere,
the spectroscope was al once applied
to the moon,and noHting of the kind
was seen. Thus il was shown that
Mats has an atmosphere loaded with
