TruMpuLy, and Pasuxn, and other Iate-in. the-day converts from the old Pro-Slavery Democracy, Gov. Oarrsny was agnin clected Governor of Minois, and this time by a vast majority. 8o bravely and so gallantly, so efficiently and so honestly,had he borne him. solf, from the beginning of the party, Lack in 1834, that tho Repnblican T.egislature with enliro nnanimity elected him Senator of the United Staten. 'There was no compe- titlon, e had not hounded anybody; he had not begged anybody ; ho simply accept- ed the honor which a gratefnl people volun- tarily thrust npon him, How has he borne himself in the Benate dnring the six yoars of his term?

Never pretonding to be what he was not, he never became h Iaughing. stock of cither Bonate or country. With proper modesty and fearless conrage, he bore himeelt always as becamo A Repub- licau Benator, Benator Oarxsny prosented no attractions for the Jobby, Hae was not considered brill. innt by tho seekers of subsidies or the ma- nipulators of jobs, Ie did not undorstand that system of political ecomomy which im. posed taxes npon the masses who earn their own living by the sweat of their brows, to raise money to diptributo among offico- brokers, claim-agents, and subsidy.mougers. He folt under as great an obligation to pro- teot the exponditure of the money raised by tazation from the Liard earnings of the peo- ple, as he wonld if the money wero his own. He therefora had no *‘friends” in the lob. by,—because ho naver voted tha public money for advance pay, or back pay, or for Ay othor grab. ‘The money in the Treasury. bad besn oxtorted from tho poople in the shapa of taxes, and he never was convinced by the lobby that a Senator should treat it as his own in the purchaso of friends to aid hira in personal politice, At tho coming election Gov, Oaresny will have no contractor, Indian Agent, claim- broker, subsidy-secker, or Treasury-pirata urging his clection, e will bo prosented to the Repnblicans of the Legislature as ha is koown to the Republicans of this State, as Honest Drcx Oovrany,—one of the Republic- ans who organized the party ; & man with- out deceit or frand ; who has been faithful nlways and atall times ; who has beon & Sen- ator without reproach, ecareful, attontive, ond industrious, ever mindful of the public iuterests ; pure in his personal con- duet and character; prond of the noble Btato ho represents ; and, morally, intelloot- ually, and in all things that enter into tho charaetor of an able and upright representa- tive, tho peor, if not tho superior, of any man who as a candidate oppoacs his clection. In viow of all these facts, so woll known and understood by the Repnblicans of IlH- nois, the queation recurs, and each time with renewed force, Why shonld the Republicans of Tlinols discard, dismies, and insult this gnllant soldier, faithful Govoruor, and un. impeachable Benator? What has he done that the Republicans should put this indig- nity upon him? Before any Ropublican in the Logislature votes to dismiss and discard Seuntor Ootxsnr, lot him answer that ques- tion, # tries by obtaining, systomatically, excessivo damnge-allowanco rchates on the very clsses of merchandiso exempted from striet scru- tiny by the naw ordor,—pepper, pimento, mace, and other articles. They actnally in- structed their correspondents to distribnto raw hides through eargoes of pepper to give an appoaranca of damags where no roal damngs was sustaincd. Inone instanco an nllowanea of nearly fifty thonsand dollars was made by the then Appraiser at New York on n cargo of pepper which, upon au investigation by morchant appraisors, proved to be almost entiroly frandulent, the nctual dsmage suatained Leing only three or four thotsand dollars, Tho clainnof the Treasury officiala that tho new order is not a restoration of thaold practice with all its known evils is withont any foundation in fact. It opens wido the door to frsuds. There is no reason why the artioles named shonld be exompted from the rale lald down Ly the standing regulations. Dried fruits—raisine, currants, oto.—were, under the viclons practice of disregarding, theletterof the standingregnlations prevalent at Eastorn ports, prolific sourcea of fraud. The same is trua of bottled goods, such s picklos and tho like. The new order, if especially ‘dovired to fnoilitate the granting of excessiva dmage-allowance rebates, could not hava been botter formulated. Wa neqnit the Scoraotary of tha Treasury of all parsonal blame in connettion with the mntter of the issnanco of this pernicious order; but ro- spoctfully enll nttontion to it as fraught with tho extreme dsnger to the rovonue so sharp- ly pointed out in his admirablo ordor of tho Gth of Jaly last, n Tondership ean be conaidered that warranta the President's gloomy anticipation thot it wonld ‘increase tho growth or. sirength of tho party oven tempornrily. It the party nccepta anch a loador, it only follows the ex- amplo of the tnan who built his house npon the sand, and will experience that foolish in- dividual's disnster. 1t the Democratic party is bent upon sicide, the shortest and smrest routa to that rosult is Burrea's leadership, themasivea by roluciog wazes, and alepatet, atrikes, And bad blood are ths result.

Every commercinl nation in the world js sufforing from the disappeot- anco of $350,000,000 of money, which is what the German disuse of silver to that ox- tont actually means, The further demonc- tization of silver in othor countries, and cor- responding shrinkage in tho volume of money, not only **might be,” but inevitably wounld be *serious,"—so serions, indeed, that the shock would be universal. A fall in prices is more jnjurious than a rise not only *in somo respects,” but in all respedts, ‘What the Saturday Review says os to the ronts paid by the English farmers will apply with equal peritnencoe to. the morigages owned by American farmers; and the offcot upon -the manufacturers, morchants, and Iaboring olasses would be everywhere the same, if the money supply of tho world were further contracted. But this Is the gold mania,—tho excessivo and unronsonable desire to contract the money supply of the world by the dlsnse of silver in & monetary capacily. Itis on artl- fictal means of producing the vory samo con- sequonce as if tho supply of gold was sud- denly shut off altogether., It is precisely equivalent to stopping up tho mines and praventing s further contribution of the metals used for monoy. While Natura has been bountiful, the money-lenders would be niggardly. Nature has furnished both gold and silvor, but the monoy-lenders, having in. vestod most of their capital on this double supply, would have it returned to them with tho inorensed valne of a singlo supply, ond the consequent contractlon. This is the gold manin,—and it {s not enly unreasonabla but disroputable.

THE GOLD, MANIA. ‘Tha New York Nation is competing with the Z'imes of that city in the nse of epithots about the silver question, and never rufers to the ndvooncy of using silver as money ex- ceptasn “eraze” or o ‘‘mania.” One of the meanings of the word ** mania” isan *ex. cessive or unreasonnble desire,” and in this sense, if not as indicsting o derangement of the mind, the term is certainly more applic- able to those who insist upon the adoption of an exclusive gold bLasis for the monetary system. There is an cxcossive and unrea. sonable desire on the part of the money- lenders to increaso the valne of the funds on hand and the monoy duo them, and thoy are utterly callous as to the influouces which such incrense will have on prices in goneral or the opprossion which it will work upon the mass of tha poople. It was this mania which prompted the dosperata resistance to tho restoration of the silver dollar, which was domanded by the pooplo as scon ns the fact of demogctization was kunown. Tt was this mania whicl, failing to dofoat rownonetization altogether, secured such & lnitation upon the coinage of silvor dollars as to jmpair the usefulness of their restoration, It was thls mania which urged the Now York banka to make a new offort to exclude silver from circulation by refusing it recognition in commercial de- pouits. It is this manie which prompts the newspapors infocted with it to indulge in promiscuous epithets as a cover to their own iguorance and tho soplistry of their argu. mentd. Of courso tho Nation sustains the banks in their rofusal to recoive tle silver dollars for commercial doposits. It conld not do othorwise and romain an organ of the monoy-londing class. But the argumont it usos in behalf of their action s extremely lame ond impotent; the substance of this srgumont 1a that the bankas are right becauso the oxclusion of silver is not a positive viola. tion of law. Dy parity of reasoning, every- thing iv moral and commendablo which is mot cxpressly prohibited by statutel Anothor proposition of the Nutfon's almost equally astounding is that it will be wrong for the Government to take any action compelling the National banks to recognize the logal-tondor charnoter of tho silver dollar, simply because the Na- tional banks owo thelr existence to tho Gov. ernment, 'This is what the Nution calls the e — Greenbacks nt the Now York Stock Ex- chnugo yesterday closed at 90, RICHARD J. OGLESBY. The eloction of a Banator of tho United States, to represent the- Stale of Iilinois, is one of the legal duties to bo performed by the Legistature at its meeting in January. Fortunately, the Republicons have a clear majority in both branches of tho Legiala- turo, atd consequently on joint ballot; and there is no probability that they will fall, ns was the case Lwo years ago, to eleot a Repub- liean to the Scnate. Then, the Republicans Incked a majority on joint ballot, though controlling one House, and, failiug to adapt their action to the oxlsting eiroumstances, twice rejeoted the opportunity to elect a Ttopublican, and forced the election by the Opposition of Judge Davis. The party, at tho approaching session, will, §f united, have no difficulty in electing their own ean- didate, without referonce to the wishes of the Opposition. Gen, Ooreany, the present Senator, is a candidnte for ro-clection; and the question naturally addresses ftsolf to evory Republican in the State, Why should he not be re-clect. ed? A correspondent whose letter we print- ed some days ngo, writing from Alton, summed up the whole mattor in the simple and divect question, Why should not Gen, Oarrspy be rc-clectod by the Ropublican mnjority of tho Legislature? Aud his chal. lenfo for an answer to tho question has not been responded toby any one, The ques. tion is ot asked in any dictatorial spirit, It is not intimated that the party must re. elect him or be dofeated ; or that he alone, of all the Republicans in the Btate, is entitled to tho office; or that Republicans owe to him n personal alleginnce which they can only violate at thoir poril. Gov. Oarxsar hoas pever exhibited any spirlt of this kind. Noone has known Lim.to demand honora as a right, or to the exclusion of others, bocause of any olaim to superiority. Ho lins bosn an honost, zenlous worker in the Ropublican party ever sinco its organization, and has accepted only such honors as were freely offered to him by the party, His fricnds never demanded anything for him on tho gronnd that, unless he gotit, no other Ttepublican should, * . ‘Gon.
