‘The Ohicago Journol is great upon swall things Tt bos heard thot Mr. Robinsop, a can- dldate for Congress in ue Seventh District, bas ssid that ho would “rather sleep with » black nigger than a whito Republican." Now we take it upon ourselves to say that Mr, Robinson never said anything of the kind—but, like Lin- coln's "' conspiracies,” tbe statement bas been manutactured. But in order to show the taste of the Journal ren for companions, wo zelect from that paper a description of its eboivast bedfellows—nay the proprictor, owner and mena- ger of the entire Republican camp, beds and sleepers included.

As there is no Danite fo tho present Congress from Illinois, we are forced to the covclu that Dr. Fitch estimates the defeat of Kellogg, the presont Republican membor from the 4th District, a# a loss of an Adininistration wsomber Tn the present Congress (he Dewocrnoy bavo five

At the Republican State conyon- tion, in June Inst, that consideration war offered, he was nomloated for tho Seunte, and hardly Gad the applause that followed that nomination died away, when he took the witness stand, and repeated hij foul charges of conspiracy.” He accused Douglar, Bucbanan, Toucey, Floyd, Cass, Cobb, Brown, Black, and Thompson, Taney, Danic!, Grior, Wayne, Catron, Campbell, and Nelton, Pierce, Marcy, Guthrie, Davis, Cushing, Dobbin, McClelland, and Camp- bell, with baving villanously entered Into a cou- cy to overturn the Constitution of the Uni- tes, force Aftican slavery into every State in the Union, and carse tbe people of all tho States with all the powors of a brutal and tyrannical despotiam. We need not repeat the thousand details of this fictitious story, nor how the cénspirators are identified with and mado responsible for all the outrages and villanies, real and imaginary, whicb bave been located in Kansas The object of Mr. Llocolo, like that of Oates, was to impose upon tho vulgar, and tho leading Ropublicang, Jiko the uagistrates of England, believe, or pretend to believe, bis fle- ‘dons.

Our Anniversary. Gn the 50th of August, 1854, the first number of the Curcaoo Towes was iasucd. The paper commenced life under peculiarly embarrassing circumstances, The cholera was provailing at the time in all its malignant power in the city, business was stagoant, and men looked upon the establishnent of another daily paper as an ad- yentarous risk, promising dofeat and ruin, In taking charge of the paper, we found that (t was objectionable to a very large class of the people because of an odiuin attaching to ono of its pro- prietors. The Democratle party in the city bad become thoroughly disorganized, and the anti- Nebraska storm was raging at its moat violent belgbt. The new papor was assailed in the mort savage and vindictive manner, and all manner of obloquy was heaped upon its conductors Politics, at that time, was carried into all the relations of life, and the Times were scouted and denounced in circles which hao since learned to respect, admire, and support it We com- menced with a ciroulation of lera than two bun- dred daily papers, nod three bundred weeklies ; and now, at tho end of four years it has a larger ly circulation than any newspaper printed in linois, and a weekly circalation double that of any other Obicago paper. Wo have progressed through all manner of diffienltics, until we now hare the paper upon a footing that defies all op- Position.

It will bo remembored that sometime ago the Republican and Danite papers announced that “Buobanan" mectings would be held In several parts of the State, at which Vico-Prosident Breokinrldge, Col. RB.

Coming to the Truth. Our renders aro already nppriged that Horaco Grecley, in a speech in Ulstor, N. ¥., repudiated the doctrine of no moro slave States as imprace ticable and unfair. It is truc that Mr, Greeley, for thus repudiating the principal plank of the Black Republican platform, has been sovorely criticinod by many Black Republican papers; but that makes no difference with tho Tribune philosopher; be secs that the Democracy are bound to triuraph over bis party ¢o long as they stand to the prinoiples they hove advocated for tho Inst threo sears—and he bas determined not arubvoAbee Ww" Lanela aah felenda in Dlinois, who bad hoped that the Black Republican party organization would hold to- gether until after the November election ; after thot, they don’t carou straw what shall become of it Thero is evidenca that (he people aro chang- ing in New York—tbat thoy ara coming to the truth. Tbe Republicans, nt the Ulster conven- tion befors mentioned, wore not too bigoted and mean to acknowledge that the Kansas-Nebraska Dill was not such an infamous deed after all. In the eeries of retolutions passed at that conven- tion—tho orthordoxy of which was established
by the presence of Mr. Grecloy—is tho fol- lowing : Fusoteod, Tont tbe law of Congress, known as the
Kansan Nebraska act, while i ed tho gamit, dtd nt wtaah orf byte vsety
Senator Douglas bas mado tbat deolaration for the last four years, in every part of the Union, to all sorts of poople, and in every town in Illinois, The true intont of that bill was notto Jegitinte slavery into Kansas or out of it; but to Jeave the people of that territory perfeotly free fo regulate that, and all other matters suitable for local legislation, for themaolves, in their own way,
But now tbat we havo the New York Tribune and the Republicans of that Statco—who declare that the Kansas-Nebraska bill did not legaliso slavery jn Kansas—at loggerbeada with Lincoln and the Black Republican party of Ilinois—who insist that the Kansaw-Nobraska bill did legaliso slavery in Kansas, and that Mr. Douglas was and | {8 false toliberty—we shall watch the contro- Versy with interest; and tho result of it shall bo duly chronicled. In the meantime, Ilinois
will retura Mr. Douglas triumphantly to tho Renato.
_ Another Conspirney Disposed of. Lincolp, in order to maintain his charge that in 1854 a conspiracy was entered into by Doug- las, tho President, and the Supreme Court to make wlayery national, quotes ag conclusive evi- dence the fact that Mr. base in the Senate aoveil an amendment to the Nebraska bill, au thorlzing tho territorial logislature to prohibit alavery in territory, and that tho amond- ment w down, To sbow upon what wonk grounds these charges of couspiracy reat, We propose to quote froin the Congressional Globe the history of that amendment. On tho second of March, 1884, there was pending in the Senate the Kansas Nebraska bill, and a substi- tuto therefor. The couslderation of these two Propositions bad gone on together, and, as is allowable under tho Senate rules, both wore from timo to timo amended. The friends of the bill baving modcled the substitute to sult their viows, that bad becomo in faot tho real bil), though teoholeally it was but « pending amend- ment. This substituto conferred upon the terri- torial legislature exclusive power over all right- {al eubjeots of legislation, and declared that tho objoct of the bill was "not to legislate elavery into any Territory, nor exclude it therefrom, but to leave the people perfectly free to form and regulate their domoatle institutions in their owa way, subject only to tho Constitution of the United States.”
Oo the 2d of March, 1864, Mr, Ohnso moved to amend the substitute by inserting therein just after the words above quoted, the following:
In a Dill conferring all power over the subject both affirmative and negative, it was ‘uanifestly unfair to oripple that power by a lim- itation confining its oxoroise to the negative. ‘As goon as Me. Chasy had taken bis seat, Mr, Pratt, « Southern Senator, thus proposed:
