THE ILLINOIS CANVASS. The great political battle i;oing on in Illinois is becoming more and more exciting as the adverse forces are nearing each other, and the final collision threatens to shake the whole continent with its reverberatitins. We do not know, while coulemplAting the strug gla from this distance, whether it is so or not, but it does seem to u that Senator Douglas is subjecting himself to a very dam aging though wholly unnecessary cross-fiie, and at the same time uncovering and fool ishly exposing bis strongest position. The campaign was opened by Mr Lincoln, who clearly and. we must admit,- fairly dtfined his position and the purposes of his party. He declared 1. That the present contradiction between North and South must be haimonizfd that since the repeal of the geographical compro mise of 36.30 there could be no possible settlement of the slavery question on terms hitherto relied on that slavery must be uuiversal, or it, must be abolished and utter ly annihilated; in 'short, ho laid down a proposition which all sensible people must admit, that negro subordination 0' negro equality must b, one or the other, (piiver satly aonepied by the nation. 2. Having laid dmvn this Until, which it is in taut, however slow soim of our Nnrili i n friends rimy lie to see it, be went on and lb-fined bis own and Ins putty's posi'ion mi l policy in dealing with it. He avowed his hostility to nfgro siibnilimition io the rule of twenty millions of white men over the three in llions of negroes, and declared a design to change the existing relations of the races aud force tbm to a Ifgal equality. This was the end, the final object, the great, purpose of the Republican party, for slavery or subordination of the negro element being in its view a national evil, that party assumed the mission of relieving the nation of its presence, and thetefoie nske-J the people to place it in power in order to consummate this great work. In tho third place, he laid down (he pro gramme or policy for reaching the great ob ject which his party bad in view. He de olared that the Cotiat.iiut.ion forbade anv direi.t interference with the States, but- he'd that Congiess should exclude th's to -called slavery from the federal territories, an I thus, by panning tip the tiegri popul iti.m within its presenl limits, slavery would become un profitable, and the States burthen! with it would abolish it; or in other words, that society would become so demoralized by this penning up process that the existing rela t.ions of the races would be changed, and whites and negroes, as in Jamaica, Central America, &o., forced to the same common level Thes-s positions these means and evil ot the Republican party w:e bold'y and, we repeat, fairly avowed by Mr. Lincoln, i" bis opening speech at Springfield. I hoy admit of uo dodging or subterfuge. Thev are plain, straight forward and as unmistakable as they are insulting and infamous, as openly and recklessly avowed as they aie atrocious am dangerous, He asks the people of Illinois to put his party into power and enable it to degrade the white millions to a level with negroes to abolish the rule of the white citizenship over the negro eiement of our popuU(ioi) to demoralize American society and degrade it to the siaodard and character of Jamaica and Central America I What infamy! What atrocity 1 What impiety, in fact, to thus Reek to desecrate the eternal laws of God and force the subordinate negro to a level with the superior white man ! .dr. Liucoln will doubtless say that ho does not desire to see whites and negroes amalgamate and equalize in social life perhaps will even say that he does not desire to give the negro the same political rights, but there is no ar bitrary or imaginary ground of 'ha kind for him or his party to stand ou. The three millions of subordinate negroes now occupy a subordinate posiiiou the twenty mill'ons of white citizens rule over thorn that rule he thinks au evil and proposes to abolish it ; uot, as we have said, directly or by interfer ence with the States, but indirectly, by pen ning up this negro element, and thus forcing a disruption of the existing relations and the consequent equality of whites and blacks. VV.e have otteu made the declaration that if the objects of the anti-slavery party were freely discussed and '.ruly understood by the people of the North, that its leaders would far more likely be lynched than sent to Con gress j but unfortunately their Democratic. ppouents have no rigai to charge home on thein too real infamy of their doctrines, be cause they themselves fail to occupy an allinn tiva position. The man or the press thai, decla es slavery the natural relation of lie races, arid that social subordination of the negro clement is right par se, in shor t. ho declares the txumig condition the upiemacy of the white man eternally just and true, mav consistently denounce all those who seek to abolish this supremacy a traitors to their lace as woM as to their ;oiintiy. This p i-iiiotl Mr, Douglas took at Springfield, and boldly puttHig Lincoln on the- defensive, charged home on the anti- slavery party all the hideous impieties and monstrous villainies that are legitimately, indeed, necessarily, wrapped np in the creed of that villainous party. Thus they went before the people of Illinois, Liucoln advoca I ting negro equality and Douglas negro sub ordination tbn former proposing to degrade i the whites to a level with negroes, and the latter proposing to retain the negr oes forever in their present position : in short Lincoln seeking revolution and an overthrow f mr institutions, and Douglas insisting on the preservation of the existing condition equality for white men and snbordina tion fr negroes all over, everywhere and forever. ' , , ' ' Can any one, or :ould any one doubt; the result of such an issue, the true issue, the ot, at; y issue before the oountry ? Can or will one auppose that tua people -ot Illinois i would go with Lincoln for affiliation with negroes and reject Douglas because he pro posed to keep this negro element where it belongs, where God and nature have placed it, where reason and common sense proclaim that it should be placed, where the pafety of society aud the eternal necessities of thiogs demand that it shall remain forever in social subordination to the white citizenship? But Douglas has not followed up the strong and manly blow? struck at Springfield. He has permitted Trumbull and others to dis tract bis attention from the maio issue, and gone off iu a petty and personal squabble about consistency, as if he or any body else had ever been consistent in this question. This mistaken and foolish egotism lias changed the whole field of battle, and per mitting Lincoln to escape, he has put him self ou the defensive. N. Y. Day Book. THE RESULT AND ITS CAUSE. The Wvandot (K. T.) Argus, speaking of Ihu late election in Kansas, which has re sulted in the rejection of the proposition to accept the English Proposition, has the fol lowing : The causes which have conspired to pro duce this result are mainly as follows: 1. The officers elected under tho Lecomp ton Constitution were chielly extremists, in whom the people hail no confidence and to whom tho people were unwilling to confide the destinies of a new State. 2. die 'Legislature which was to come into power had the ordinance been accepted, was chosen when the notorious Lane was in the zeuiih of his power, and a majority of the members were understood lo be pledged to his election to the U. S. Senate. To these two considerations may In at tributed in the main the defeat of this mens' ute. Other considerations of coutse hail their influence. Many of the people were of the opinion that we ought, to remain a tern loty until we were better able to issunie the expenses of a Srate government. Others astain desire the guardianship and protection of the federal government, believing property and life insecure should the government offi cers and troops be withdrawn. Pro-slavery men very genoially voted against it. bec-i'.ise they preferred to remain a slave Teriitory rather than become a free Sta'e, while many Democrats vo e I against it, for the sake of retaining (jrnv. Denver, and otliei federal aopoiniees iu office, as their places would, on the adoption of the Ordinance, have passed into the hands of the ultra U'pub Means. The Administration and thk'Kaxsas Issi'E if its New Phase. A Washington correspondent writes : I understand that it is the determination of the President and his Cabinet, in view of the recent vote in Kansas rejecting the English Compromise. Constitution, to adhere strictly to the alternative, presented in the Conference bill, and to oppose the admis sion of Kansas as a Sale into the Union until she shall have the ratio of population limited by tho Constitution of the United States. This course will undoubtedly have the effect of keeping the South and the Cabi net in close nll'iiuce, while it will inevitably provoke a furious contest between them and the Black llepiibtieans, led by Douglas and Seward. Many Democrats who voted for the English bill will also be eqtiallj ready to vote for the admission of Kansas next winter as a free State, without regard to the amount, of her population. If Kansas a-k for admission as a free State during the coming winter, the Black Republicans must he defeated or the South wib have made a prodigious step in the direction of disunion or submission. A Mysterious Affair. A gentleman named Luvstcr. was to have been married in Brooklyn, night before last. Tho bride was all ready, awaiting Irs arrival. The clergy. man, Rev. Dr Kennedy, was present, and upward of fifty invite! guests, but, lo ! no bridegroom came. Time wore away, the night advanced, and still no tidings could bo obtained. He was known to have come to New York after some articles for the occa sion in the afternoon, but, since that nothing had ben heard of him. The company finally broko in tho utmost dismay and astonish ment. Mr. Lnvster, tiowever, turned np last evening According to statements made y his friends, ho stopped at a place in Ful ton Street, Now Y"rk, and. drank a gluss of soda. He made the acquaintance of two strangers, and shortly afterwards, feeling a peculiar sensation, arising, as he supposes, rroiu druiis put into tho liquor, he wmt from tho saloon where he met these men, and hardly recollected anything until next morn ing, when he found himself in Fourth Av enue, with a Mint, sumcr suit on, m'tond of a black suit, which he woro when he left Rrooklvn.. Ho had two gold wwohes and S250 in money, which had disappeared with his clothes. He ha no definite recol lection of any occurrence after he had im bibed the soda water. The affair is certain ly a very singular one from beginning to end. A Rather Singular Theft. Oo last Sunday night about 11 o'clock, as Mr. House was riding alone the Panola road to town from the Black Jack canjp meeting, he no lined a man ahead on horseback. He made an effort to overtake hint, but the man evinced signs that ho did not care about his eompany but he did overtake him, however. After ndinff together a short distance, the man said he must get down, and asked Mr. HoiiffO to hold his horse.. He walked a few yards, but immediately returned, .and after taking a pair of sddlo" bags' off his horse, broke and run through the woods as fast, as he could, leaving Mr. H. holding the horse that he had been riding, winch be brought to town. The horse belonged to Jack Hale, and bad been stolen at theBjafk Jack Qa,nip.: ground Relief for Neuralgia.
