Wise address ed to the Democracy of Illinois in the fa mous canvass of1858. When it is remem bered that the opposition to Mr. Douglas is based upon the opposition to the Le- comton Constitution, the reader will need no suggestions on our part to force his own comments. It must be kept in mind that this letter was written sufficient time truths for which they contend, for they pistol in the bed of the coach, fastened fifty per cent in two yean, and fit fin in are vital and cardinal and essential, and ; the horses again to the stage, expressed proportion to the end of the rhspfsi. hit can never be yielded without yielding lib-j the delight he experienced in.meeting ] long do you think it wonM take thoSofrfh erty itself | with gentlemen who were so unexception- But, sir, I am like a tired man, bound 1 able in their deportment, and bade a grace- to my duties here; and, if my office would allow me to leave it I could not depart from the bedside of illness in my family, which would probbaly recall me before I could reach Illinois; and my own state of health admonishes me that I ought not to under take a campaign as arduous as that you propose.

John Moore, Chairman of. the Democratic State Committee, of Illi nois. : Dear Sir: I cannot express the emo tions of my bosom, excited by your ap peal to me for aid in the warm contest which your noble Democracy is waging with Abolitionism. Every impulse prompts me to rush to your side. Your position Ls a grand one, and in some respects un exampled. In the face of doubt and dis- ous struggle—with its every blow and breath—cheered with its hopes and cha fed by its doubts. You have my prayers, and I am, Yours, truly, Henry A Wise. A Highwayman of the Old SchooL Wells, Fargo & Co.’s Express was late ly robbed in the most polite way of $15,- 000, near Chico, Butte county, California. The San Francisco Herald gives the fol lowing account of the proceeding: The outrage was committed at about nine o’clock in the evening. The night trust attempted to be thrown upon "your j was dark - and as thc sta S e w “ c ™ r S in S Democracy, and its gallant leader, by the pretext of pretenders that you were giving from a wood and about to descend into a creek, the bed of which was dry, some aid and comfort to the arch enemy of our!

On looking round, somewhat to his astonishment, he discov ered two men with double-barrelled guns isola ted by.a tyrenieal proscrip, tion, which would, alike fodishiy and wickedly, lop off one of tfee-nosivigorous limbs of National Democracy, the limb of; glorious Illinois! I see yon, in spite of this imputation firmly fronting the foe, and battling to maintain conservative nation ality—against embittered and implacable sectionalism—Constitutional rights, oper- ful adieu. The robbers then left for the woods. During thc whole proceeding not an oath was heard, and the captain of the gang did his utmost, says our informant, to soothe the affright of the passengers.

The captain of the gang, with a cocked revolver in his hand, stepped up to the driver and informed him in a cool and clear voice that he must have the money in the treasure box, and then turning to Mr. Bowen, the express messenger, said, “ Charley, it will be of no use to resist.— Nobody shall-bc harmed; if you don't make any fuss. And, in the meantime,” pursued the highwayman, “ gentlemen will he kind enough to holdup their hands.’ It is not necessary for us to say that the passengers obeyed, and thc driver dropp ed the reins, and each man’s fingers point ed instantly to heaven. “Now, then, Charley,” said the robber, “I must have your pistol to prevent acci dents,” and he proceeded to disarm the expressman, notwithstanding the outraged man’s remonstrances. As thc robber took the pistol, with a naive affectation of sur prise and ar. ominous shake of the head, he said: “ Why, Charley, the pistol is cocked. Don’t be foolish, Charley.” Thereupon Charley immediately subsi ded with the remark that it was very hard that he should be treated in such a man- The sovereignty of the organised peo- Justice and equality between States and Protection in the Territories, and every- Equity and uniformity in the mode of Imitting new States into the Union, rules and ratios to ap- the i The rejection of all compromises, con- The great law ofsetttanant of the pub- e domain of the United States, free, e- nal, and just, never to be “temporised” or partial ex by Maintainiag these and like principles, deem it to be the aim of the straggle of t of this signal con- il^rny to stand tost by i frith and freadsaa, sad aster to ltafst “ Not at all; Charley,” at.swered the robber, “ I am not robbing you—you can not help yourself, but your company ad vertise that they have a capital stock of $§00,000, and $15,000 to divide among the boys would not be missed, Charley, you know.” By way of mollifying Char ley’s feelings, the highwayman politely assured him, upon his honor, “as a gen tleman,” that he was not a murderer, and did not desire to take a dollar from any person then present. At this time Mr. McDuffie suggested that there existed no absolute necessity for the strange gentleman’s friends on the road to persist in holding their guns in so very direct a line with his head, as he bad known men under such circumstances to suffer from nervous excitement, and altho’ he could not doubt their peaceful assuran ces or the henesty of their intention, if the triggers chanced to be very finely set an explosion might take place unconscious ly. Thereupon the robber bowed politely and expressed his desire to make the in terview as pleasant a one as possible, and directed his men to elevate their fowling pieces, but still to keep the enemy “ well covered.” After this he unhitched the horses, fastened them securely to a fence nearby, declining, inaffectienste language the assistance of the driver, and drew from the stage the-box of treasure. He was about to split open the box with an axe, when he remarked to “ Charley,^ that it would be a pity to spoil the furni ture, and asked for the key. Observing some hesitation and grumbling on the part of the messenger, he brought forward a bundle of cord and expressed the opin ion that it would be necessary for him to tie “ Charley,” as he was talking a great defi too much. “What would you giTe to know me, {his free wss masked,) Char ley r be asked. “ Twownd-a-hal^” waa the sullen reply. “Ah. jour liberality will be the death of you,” replied the high- who then very cooly opened Mto From the Constitutionalist. A Plain Talk about Squatter Sover eignty. Mr. Editor: There never was a greater humbug palmed off on a people than that which tho seceders are trying to do, by- misrepresenting and exaggerating the principle of squatter sovereignty, as they choose to call it If they are believed, it is the sum of all evil—it is the dragon of the Apocalypse—it is satan himself with horns. But after all they say what is popular sovereignty ? It is simply the right of a majority of thc people, after government is regularly established in a Territory, to make such laws as they believe best cal culated to promote their happiness and prosperity; and only so for as they arc authorized to go by the Constitution.— This is Mr. Douglas’ doctrine. Hero is the proof in his own words. “I am for thc great principle of popular sovereignty of which President Pierce spoke in his message—that is to allow thc people of an organized Territory to exer cise all thc rights of self-government, ac cording to the Constitution, and no more. That is what I am for. That they shall be in subjection to tlie Constitution, exercise the right of self government, consistent with the Constitution; and if they violate it their acts shall be declared null, in the same way that the acts of the State Legis laturc are—by the courts.” (Speech in reply to Mr. Davis.) But the seceders say all this won’t do because the Territories might make laws against slavery. But they are just as free to make laws in favor of slavery, as against it; and where the people want it they will have it As proof, see New Mexico, which has passed laws in favor of slavery. So you see it » no-more -a pow-er-against slavery than a power for it Wherever the people want slavery, they will make laws in its favor. On the contrary wher ever thc people do not want it they will not make laws in its favor. And I ask is it not perfectly fair, and truly republi can, for the majority to make just such laws as they wish on this subject, as well as all others, so they dont violate the Con stitution ? There can be no sound reason given why the people should not he as free to regulate, by law, property in slaves as property in any thing else. Now prop erty is property whether it exists in slaves in lands,houses, horses, cattle or any oth er thing, and just so Car as the people may go in legislating on property in thc one case they can go with respect to the oth er. So says Mr. Douglas and no frrther. And so every reasonable man is obliged to admit. But, reasonable and undeniable as it is, the seceders say no, because, if admitted, they say the North has the most popula tion, and will settle up the Territories and get the majority. Well, suppose admit it, who is it that, under our government has the right to rule, if not the majority ? Would you change the Constitution and let the minority govern ? That would be to set up a monarchy or an aristocracy, and then away goes republican govern ment, away goes law, away goes liberty, and even life itself when the rule of the minority is set up over the voice of the majority and the Constitution established by our fathers. But, after all thc seceders say about the North having the most population, do they point out any way of getting rid of it? They do not, and they know they cannot. On the contrary, they all admit that the majority have a right to decide the slavery question pro or con, just as they please, when they come to make a State Consti tution. Now, I ask if the North has not just as many people to send into the Ter ritories for the purpose of controlling thc State Constitution as they have to send there for the purpose of controlling a Ter ritorial Legislature? And if they intend to send voters to get possession of the Leg islature, will they not, just as certainly, push them forward to take possession of the convention that makes the Constitu tion ? Certainly they will, and no man can deny it So, you see, they don’t mind the matter at all. to catch up with the North by waiting in this manner? The foot ia, the longer you, wait, the worse it will gait and ns honest man can deny it. Yet, each is tbs state able, ridiculous stuff that k put as a reason for tearing ftwafti'Sne. caatic party and ruinmg tbe country. Thus, it ia plain to and moat ha to every nun of common aansa, that the doc trine of the seceders and dtaantaptato will secure to the South no more stave F1~*ts than the doctrine of Mr. Douglas, which leaves the whole question to tbs people; for the people have right, as all admit, ul timately to do as they please on the sub ject. And most of them readily admit, that practically, there is no difference be tween the two systems. If not, why then secede from the Charleston convention, a- bout a thing that makes po practical dif ference. Why secede from the Baltimore conven tion about a thing that makes no differ- cnce ? . Why divide and break down the Dem ocratic party about a matter that makes no practical difference ? Why, I repeat, in the name of reason and common sense, break up tho only par ry that had the power to keep the Uaion together, about so small a matter, unless they really wished to break down the Government by electing a Black Republi can and then going in for ? For my part I am afraid of all -such pol iticians. There is so little sense in the reasons they give for thoir conduct, that I can’t help suspecting they have some hidden, secret intention at the bottom, which they wish to cany out in this round about way, and which they are afraid to come out with, for fear tbs people would not follow them. And I am inclined to think so for another reason, and it to (his I see Mr. Rhctt, of South Carolina, come out for the seceders.

An Old Union Democrat. - Left the Gas Burning and Want to Europe. The New York correspondent of the Mobile Register, relates the following. Recently a gentleman returned from Europe; he had been absent with hi* fam ily seven months. He paid his gas bOl the day he left, and the house had not been opened for seven months, yet whfin it was, the gas man took a return from the meter, and a bill was made out for I. Mr. Grinnell went and complained to the secretary related the circumstances and threatened exposure of such • bare faced robbery. He refused to pay the bflL “Very well sir,” said thc secretary. Mr. G. -went home and told his wife. “Pay it,” said she. “Why so?” said be. “Be cause,” said she, “the day we left New York, I had to go back to thehooas for some article I bad forgot -The window shutters were fastened; I lit ths gas; the other day when wo returned I found it still burning." Dickinson Charged with Mag on Abolitionist. The New York Leader, of the list nit, reviews the following reminiscence of Mr. Dickinson of New York who has of tats become so great a favorite with th* Breck- nridge-Yancey party of the South: “After the Presidential campaign of 1848, resulting in the defeat of the greet Michigander, it will bo remembered that • convention of the Democracy of Ah State was held at Borne, for dm purpose of uni ting both wings of the party.
