SPRING ELECTIONS.

“Coming events cast their shadows before,’’ says an old saw, which his been very i forcibly exemplified in tho late elections of j the various cities throughout the West; fori vv l o have never seen “a shadow*’ cast ’before • more plainly than is that of the corning na-; lional triumph in November. Chicago, urt-i tier ordinary circur. stances, gives an average Republican majority of about 700; this year! it gives a majority for Long John Wentworth ; of 1248, and an average majority, after a thorough canvass of the city by tho best speakers of the West, 'in each party; and over the jnost superhuman exertions of the Democracy to carry the city previous to,the Chicago Convention, of about 15,000.

DOUGLAS’ TOADYISM.

We publish the following article from the Chicago Press and Tribune containing an extract from tiie great toadying speec h of Douglas, niada in tho Uni ed States e'enate sume two months ago; in which the little toad, by the most desperate squats and jumps before his Southern masters, endeavors to regain the popularity ho had lost in the South by his toadying to tne No-.’.i in opposing the Lecompton Constitution, for the purpose of obtaining from Illinois hut re-election to the United States Senate. Milton, in his sublime poem of ‘■Paradise Lost.,” represents luiurc.fi one ul-.e guardian angels of Paradise, us having discovered Satan one night, in tire form of a toad, beside the sleeping Eve, whispering tem; t;»; n into her dreaming ear, and upon being touched by the celestial spear of Ithureal, Satan instantly assumed his natural towering form and dimensions. We tinnk that it would require the touch of u spear of much more potency than that pocsv sob y 'tthm-eaj, to cause “Little Dug” to assume his natural political, appearance and colors; for the little in an .has been so Jong and so Constantly toadying in politics that he has become a natura 1 political toad. “Mr. Douglas’ diabolical scheme for the suppression of freedom of thought and speech—fur repressing the irrepressible conflict, as he defines it—must nut sight of in the rush of events whio are bringing' on the great battle of 1869. Since his plan j was ri.sl developed in the Senate,two mouths ago, we have seen not a single apology i lithe atrocious seir.im. nts thus uttered. Ir j Mr. Douglas should iiapp. u to 1 e nominate'.! at Charleston, wo may lie very, sure that ; his election wlil be ur_ed in the South on' the'ground of his j.r.nniso to put down tlu> Republican | t; ty ‘-by indjcL-.u.-'-ts and convictions in vi,r Federa• < ' ,ur!s,” sir! if he should be eie rte-t to the Presidency we hate; his word tor it l; at .tvor would no > ;c i

Outrage at Lagrange, Missouri.

A German Citizen Hanged , Beaten and Robbed. ' \ esterefay, a respectable German citizen of LaGrange, Mo., Mr. Frederick Schuller, (a br■•tber-in-law of Mr. 1 . Dashbach, of this city.) wlto lias resided in LaGr.irige for s he I i»t twelve years, was brought to Quincy a victim to the horrors of a pro-slavery outrage—the recital of which is enough to make the blood of any man who has a soul bo:l within his Veins. We saw the bloody evidence v: the horrible treatment he hud undergone. heard the story of the affair given by hi.- . and could not help believing every v’H o! his statement. He is a respectubc r::<! intelligent man.and his plain and simp e account ot the dastardly outrage, v> we venture to say, i'.opJic'tly credited by the htmdri ds. of our c-kizeus who called at Mr. Dasbacli’s yesterday. Mr. Schaller has always voted the Democratic ticket, and we are assured by German citizens of Quincy, that in his visits to this city he ha.-? defended too institnti ut as i* existed in Missouri. That he ■,< innocent of the charge of assisting negroes to escape—as he insists—we have no doubt VVe trust that our fip Jn citiz . ns , e s-'| pec.ally those who have been m of ' °*‘ll* ,1,5 Dr-picernt h; ticket, will ponder well tliis flagitious outrage, and then determine whether they tan continue to v >. with a party vvh se cardinal principle is the spread and extension of that institution which s the ! parent of such damnable and brutal lawless- j ness.

STATEMENT O • MR. SCHALLER. I have been a resident of Missouri for twelve years, having resided a part of the I.m<- iii Palmyra.and part of the time in Li61'uno'. Li the latter place I have property. r i.ive never meddled with slaves or slavery, and have always been a Dei orr it. Lite hist fall, nr early in the winter, f heard that ten slaves had run off; i knew nothing about it til,' I heard ot it, and d>, not recollect ot ever ha. -in seen them. 1 coo'- 1 thi.-.‘-*for * not h.,v>; u'.Cei : ; n their escape. I ».-•!.• i’ la LitJrangc . . . uspc ‘>‘d me »f t > with-slaves, fill test Sunday. I day' to Canton i > i: ite some I .!•!.-> ;. party that was to take p uce k,-,t dry. Q>u my arrival tLp’re I -.vas waif'J y thn e persons, Jim Ring. Josh Owens .vi Bill Webster, who informed me of n.y bt'itf/ uiuc.' suspicion of :-having aided the : scape -i s!:-.'-esot Mr. Harris, and tv. uld u,. . - i viurn with tliem. At ur.- f to>>iy • >;.• io ter for a joke, but s■■ i un ' t.u< v were in earnest. On the nigh h- d; the slave run off, who was ei.ti .M , at ten o’clock, I ca-n prove by twelve u? .■:- on person-s f.i; ,t 1 was it. my houst fill .; .> -r o’clock, con sequentiy could not have it ted til * negro. I returned with the three, satisfied of ri, ' innocence, arid a.-ked ier a fair trial thily, as I easily could have proven my i.inogehee. I was taken to the LaGrange 110 so, and asked ; to be tried m xt. dv. (31am! ,v r ) uat was refused. Monday night ail armed posse of twenty-five or thirty men came, tied my brother William’s, Nob. Maltis’, (who h d ; been taken bufore my return from t aint.in.) and my hands, and put ns into a hack. 'l’wo others, Fratik Gerlaeh and u Mr. Holmes, .vent set free, bsii ordtrc-J to leave town. ; Our itanJ.i were tied and we were utiveii; about three rotes on the M mphi ‘ road, , where the hack stopped,nd J was taken otu. i To- my quest sol 1 to where they were taking ; me to, I got the answer that I was to be j hanged. 1 asked them what for, and received j an :'.s.-i--;ef that I should tell them all about j the n.tgiter'&t rapes, about V-ir d iorn, etc.

As I knew nothing about them, had never ! -.otr. or heard of Mr. Vcndoorn, l could not j give the answer tli -y wanted. They took me about a quarter of a mile into tin* woods and hang, d me. I caught the tree, but by I beating'ii:) . mbs with ,-ticks they competed | me 1 1 let go my hold. Smui I was aeneeless. ! Vfn:.*n I came to again, I felt two persons,; one on each side, whipping me witn whips, ■r cowhides. My hands were tied ab • mv head and 1 was entirely naked. ’l’ll. 1 night was very cold, and soon my back was covered with a. crust of frozen blood.' I be-; came weaker and when Bhoy untied me I ; fell on the ground. I heard one of them say", I >• Now you can go,you son of a bitch!” When j I put on my clothes again I round my money ; ($l2B in gold.) and ware): . As Icould j not stand, I crawled ns wen ~ possible, to j the Ih.iu.-c of mv lutiier-iu-i.iw where ir. j Nietneyer treated me. My brut! er whom they had released, told me that they must !:avc* abused mo lor more than an hour. I again say ’hat lam Sa itr-'.e nt ’he charge as a child, and have iw.vr i, escape of s.■' vets. The American (Muftis,) is id LxGrange, sick from a s,rr.i.ui treatment. Frederick Schallek. The above n irrstive seems too horrible to be possible. N -verlheless it is possible—v, zv nsidering -he present, criss, not only p-t . '.3 bat pcobaole. Such inhuman .scenes of b.gi.-leitided outrages,upon peaceable law -abiding citizens, are daily hot., tv.-n more numerous. We l an scarcely pi-, kup a !i«. w»j>". s * :::il ci *. a u. ccdu.hn of outrage's of a. i : 'ar character, 'i . wo. live at an inter-'.' .’ ig eei iud. A period v/!>«n .neiij on the mere s.'.spicion of p »s leasing t;c sentiments of a Washington or a Jeifersoji, are strung up by the necli and their nuked hodi:.-* lacerated by the hands of practical tl lgilators, to extort from them that which they knew not. A period when I mi : ier may be unblu.-hingly commit ted in | the name of “Democracy,” without fear of !of the penalty attaca d to the law; am: crime, ten-fold more horrible in its nature, needs but the dusky seal of “slavery ’ to in- ! sure its legality. Are there none to vhom J those victims of unwarranted suspicion mad unlawful punishment may look lor protection or redress! There are! But as well may they look into the -empty air” for “equal and < xact justice,” so long as Democracy holds the reins of government. Truly the scales have fallen over the eyes o' Justice, and well may it be said she is blind and will not see. Verily “Democracy” covers a multitude of evils.

The Stereoscope: Its Wonderous Bcauty and Power.

BY THE REV. S. I. PRIME, AUTHOR OF THE “POWER OF PRAYER.” As we for the first time fame in sight of the Pyramids in Egypt, we were instantly seized with the thought that we had seen them before! Was it a dream! Had we in a moment of waking delusion been here in some dim period of the past, or was this the ! reproduction in the so-.il of an image formed \ by long hours of silent meditati >n on these old mountains of buried kings! \Ve stood awestruck, not by the mightiness of the grand piles of the p«st ages heaped up in these stones, then wc were by the startling impression that this is not our first visit to tiie Pyramids, though we had certainly never j been ii, Egypt, before. j \mi merit's reflection called to mind the | Cosmo,, ins. ot Prof, Sau /, which had been fxhii it. , iji New York.

During the last few days we have had entire- '-.itlons with intelligent farmers, from different sections oi this country, inrchition tithe growing wheat crop; and the universal, opinion is that the prospect for a good erupts exceedingly gloomy. In all ioeuliti -s from which we b<*v .• any iuforumtior., the erop i•, reported either badly injured or entirely fro--zen out.
