Interesting Statistics of Illinois. The Chicago Tribute has the following : We have long lieen familiar with the dimensions of our State iu miles, stretching north nnl south, east and west. But how manv of us have come to the full belief of the truth, that if some Sampson should pick up the State of Illinois and set it down ia New England, it would completely shut out the day, and cover up the nine States New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Aiassticlmsetts, Khodo Island, Connecticut, Nsw .Jersey, Marynnd and Delaware, for these States -combined foittai.i but 5 i,S3S square miles, while lllinoh contains 55,-103 square miles Rut this said, nnd wo have not told Llf the Uutlt. TlieUllaMc -r pUu-;!i land of Illinois is more than throe times as much as that of all t!ior,e S'tlo.;, cording to the statintu-s of th- Soviet uy of the Interior at Wasldajton. ITS RAPID SKrrLKMKNT. 'Thirty-tour years afu-r the Declaration of A'merican Independence, iu 110, Illinois wa occupied almost entirely l'V Indians, and a few French trader-, with here and there an Auierican family. Twenty years later, in 1830, it contained a population of 157.44.". In twenty years more, in U-50, its population was "851,170, and in fiftt'cn years more, in 1.SG5, it had 2.14S.178. having gained in the last fitteen years 1,J0,70S This is 500,000 more than the gain of any other State in the country in the last fifteen years, and 500,000 more than any other lof our States ever gained iu the same length of time. Its increase during the five years of the war has been i30,'2-27, and that, too, when Illinois sent 25i,0U0 men to the army. This addition to the nonnlation of our State, in five years is more than the entire population of California with its gold fields. It is, in re spect to population, like adding a new California to Illinois every five years. In eighteen years Illinois has built over 3,l0O miles" of railroad. It has 1,200 miles of navifiable waters almost snr-roundin-r it and entirely crossing it; w.-liil we mav eee. bv a retcrence to tue map, that the railways and rivers or the whole country point to Illinois as a centre, as inevitably as the spokes of a wheel center in the bub. In no other place in our country, or in the world, are new towns, villages or cities springing up with such cmazing rapidity, and in no other place on which the suu shines are the foundations of society being laid for the first time so rapidly as in Illinois. RESOURCES OF TIIK STATE. In many of the older and eastern States it requires years to pick away the stones and make a farm. Here vast prairies invite immediate occupancy and culture. Farmers ou the 'rocky w England shore, scarcely believe us when we tell them that 'out Vest' we may walk for mile and miles together, and not find a stone big enough 'to throw at i bird.' But it is a fact, and the nature of our soil, yielding abundant harvests, is a resource." We have, also, a great variety of climate, reaching further north than Boston and further south than Richmond. Our rivers furnish water power for the largest manufactoiies. Coal mines are abundant, and found over three-fourths of Illinois. The coal mines of England embrace a territory- of 210 square miles, enabling its peonle to accomplish as much by machinery as 4o0.U00,o00 of men could accomplish by hand So says B mkland. liiiuois alone has double the ex.ent of coal acids. These immense replaces abounding over a Stfte of such extent, with sueh soil and climate an .1 - . r !. commercial auvaniages, tores. i:i sow ut purpose of God in the destiny ot the State. ITS FUTl'EK PKOSPKCTS. "Out of S5.4ud.0u acres of land. Illinois contains oo,0u0,000 acres of tillable sround. Only one-seventh ot this has vet been touched bv the plow, yet this oue-seventh has sustained our own pp aUtioa of i,14S,17S, and furnished a surplus of food for exportation, enough no doubt to sustain 000,000 more Xowk if one seventh of our State, with its imperfect culture, furnishes fooil for four millions of people, eannot ttie whole State sustain a population of twenty-five millions. To make a cord of wood go a great way leave it ont of doors. It has been known to go a mile.

U, S. SenatorOpinions of the Press. Gov. O- P. Morton. We copv below an article from the Washington Chronicle. The reference it makes to the memorable campaign ot 18ti4 is no more than iut. The debate between the Governor and his competitor, the Hon. Jos. E. McDonald, at South Bend, was extensively published in all the loyal States, and gave impulse and cLaracter to the presidential campaign. In a few days after it took place Mr. Lincoln read portions of it to a distinguished politician who had called upon him, and said that upon the issue as it was there made np, we must carry Indiana and all the North-west. The Governor's speech at the Masonic Hall, on the 18th of June last, may be fairly said to have opened the campaign in this and the other loyal States. It was more generally" republished in the newspapers and in pamphlet form than any other speech for years, and while it everywhere aiousc-d Union men, it excited the bitterest animosity of Copperhead politicians, who attempted to destroy its force by the foulest personal slanderers. JnJ: Journal. ' The gentleman, now Governor of the great State of Indiana, will, as we see by our exchanges, be a candidate before the next Legislature of that State for United States Senator. As Governor, he has so wielded the great influence of his position during times of trouble without parallel in history as to make him in some sort a public possession. We trust, therefore, that he will, if he desires it, be placed in a position so tilted to his great talents and services as that of United States Senator, on the voluntary retirement of Hon. Henry S. Lane from the chair he has so ably and accep tably filled. ' In the darkest hour of the slaveholder's rebellion, Governor Morton stood like- a rock "for the Hag." He held the 'jrr,.:i! State oi Indian:! trua to that sacred s'fmbol of freedom. When the "polities of the so-taKed Democracy iu that State tc;"t,, tittle belter t!::Hi a conspiracy of t'.s-nssius, when beaten everywhere ui ;;o ballot-box that paitv turned to the :rul the ltiituiii-ht conclave th? lined arnurments of traitors ho-,v hcroic- ; ally did Governor Morton meet and vr.i:-ct;i-h their sathcrinsr clans! how did he ; p;;ttc; flight the cabals of traitors! Is it i not written in the history of his content ; wiifi McDonald in 1SG4! j "Mr. Lincoln said in the fulness of his j uret'.t heart, when that contest was de- ; tided in favor of the country, 'This setI ties the question; this gives to the Govj eminent the only doubtful State, and I carries its great influences to the side of i the liepublie.' This triumph drew the j eyes of the nation upon Governor MorI ton, which has ever since watched his i career with admiration. And while his enemies bated they also feared lam. From all good, true, loyal people he has won only golden opinions. 'Into that great contest ot t04 nc threw his whole heart aud soul. So valiantly did he toil in the cause of the Republic, so fearlessl' did be expose himself to danger and the elements, that he has ever since sutfered a bodily affliction which disables lim from walking, so that he may be said to have laid himself a living sacrifice on the altar of liberty. 'Unlit was not alone dr.rius the dread ordeal of the war that he was found true i to the great principles involved in that j contest. In the vital conflict of opini ion now going forward he is as conspicuous and decided as when the tide ! of battle ebbed and flowed upon the stricken field. His battle-plume, like ; Henry of Navarre's has shone for years ; and still shines star like along the head i ranks of the brave and the true. Where ' bis pennon marshalled the way there lay j the path of honor and of duty. ' "In the recent great campaign in IndiI ana, with what tragic interest did this great man seem invested as he was borce in chair or on pallet before the i thousands who bung upon bis thrilling words! For two hours we listened as the resistless tide of eloquence and loic poured through his lips, as he sat there before a spell bound audience and exposed the faults and fallacies of the Johnsonian plan of reconstruction. He d no excuse of physical weakness. rhoush borne down with paia of body. the mind was as clear and sparkling as a diamond. The only question with him was, "Can I do something for the tight in this conflict which treachery has prei cipitated the couutry into?"' ! -Smi-Ii talents, such patriotism, such dovotion can not now be spared trom the service of the whole country. We trust, therefore, that the Republican Legislature soon to convene in Indianapolis will crown the splendid triumph of the 9th cf October by placing Governor Morton in the Senate of the United States. Happily, however, as we believe, there is t,it one cinnion f.monir tne iovpi men of that State as to tue man We have written ihls beeau rcr tl.c p ?e wc utl eve that it expresses tue lovul men outside of sentiments ot ail j the State of Ir.di- i ai;a. i Our Next tiuaeruor.

The Next United States Senator.

Nothing hs been more clcarlr decided in the late ; election, than that Governor OUver P. Morton u to be our next United States Senator from this f-Ute. His distinguished services to the whole cwuntry, and eminent abuiiT, have made him tl choice of a loyal people If we had been unsuccessful at the polis, Dan. Voortees would, without doubt, have been sent to the Senate. But a kind Frovid. nee has spared na such profound humUiatioo and deep disgrace. Governor Morton ia nndonbtedlv the choice of tbe people; and we presume that there wU be no hesitation on the Mrt of tbe Legislature in giving expression tie Dopu'.ar wilL Lieutenant Governor Baker will make Wood Governor, and tbe people need not fear to treat tbe reins of eur State Govern meet in haa haoda.

The Republican Press and tie Senatorihip. As a rule, we doubt the propriety of diseusin in the public prints the claims of in lividuals to the nomination for office, especially if there is any danger of a heated contest. In the excitement of the moment, the frienis of candidates are apt to write things which should have remained unsaid, or at least, it saia, should not hare been put ou recorJ. Claims and complaints which might be properly mentioned iu t ie nominating caucus, and would be harmless becaus the hearers would understand the spirit of the speaker would do s great deal of harm if put in print. Complaints which really ssem reas"nb!e, or at least not unkind, when spoken face to face, wui appear unjust and outrageous when real by parties not cognizant of the circumstances under which they were uttered" Therefore it is generally best to merely announce the names ot candidates for nomination in the publicprints, and retrain from a discussion of their merits, or a comparison of their respective claims lor otfiee. Bat is sometimes the case tuat there is so preat a unanimity in reeard to thenamination of a particular person lor an o3ice, that this tux is involuntarily abrogated, and there w a peneral expression of the preference. This was the case three years since in regard to the nomination of Governor Morton. The enerjjv and skill manifested by him in the performance of the onerous duties im;osed upon tiim bv the war, and the virulence with which he was assailed by the Copperheads, made h'm the almost unanimous choice of the people, and tiu papers in every part of the State but rejected the popular will in urjrinjr his nomination. A similar state of tfiirs seems to exist nnw. The press ot the State is already speaking in a manner that indicates the popular desire that :.rem.r Morton shall succeed Hou. Henry S. Lane in thy Senate. The letter of Mr. Lane d--c!ininff a re-election threw the place opeu for a new man, and the public choica seems to bare settled immediately upon Governor Morton as the one. The reasons for this are similar to those leading to his unanimous nomination tor Governor. Within the past few days we have published the remarks of a large number of the leading Luion papers of the Statu in favor of his election to the Seuate, and they undoubtedly express the sentiments of the masses of the I'ninn party. The energy, zeal, and wi.sdotu of his administration of the otlices of the State during the war, attracted the attention of the whole nation. N 't only was he ever foremost in rilling up aud forwarding to the field the quota of troops trom Indiana, but he preserved the public credit in the face ot a moat infamous conspiracy on the part of tho Copperhead legislature and State officers to destroy it. Uthcvin-r that the patri otism and talent thus manifested tit bira in a special manner for tne performance of the highest duties of the statesman, the people think that the public go:d will be subserved by putting hira in a position which lie may hold fur a lengthened term ; and they do tms the more readily as Lieutenant Governor Haker is iu every wav fully qualified to compl-He his term in the executive' chair, of course, it is not cotit-mled that Governor Morton is tue only person iu the party liiai.ried tr the position o!

F. ileJ d iu their purposes, it only lacks the election of Govermu Uu to the Seuato to m kethvir humi'sati n con ir Moruiplete. 4r i. ,!. .-.(fh-e ol Giirttn.r n. the onncili.it Mates has been looked upon as the step.og-stnne to the Senate. It is argued that the general acquaintance with the people of the State, derived by the cauvass, ft rand the performance cf the duties of Governor, gives that knowledge of the wants of the people anl the true interest of a Suite which a senator suoul.l possess. It is therefore thought that Governor Morton is the proper person to represent the Stat-, while so far as ineu can have claims upon the people lor office, he has a paramount right to tiie Senator-hip. His long ant arduous services in the executive oihec, his careiul atteution to the interests of the State, his noble record throughout the war, and the influence he exerUd for the defeat of the opposite party, all give him special claims upou the people. Such in brief are the reasons given for the unanimity of leeling iu behalf of his election to the Senate. The onlv dissenting voice which we nave noiieea among our exchanges, is that ot the Madison Courier, and itseems to be affected by a fear that Governor Morton's health will not permit him to serve out ins term. In a late article upon tins suojeci n s ') "Governor Morton I as the inside track, most all of the probabilities are in his laror, anil but tor me m,n,i-nf.,l fct that there is more than the usual un certainty of life in his case, and that it is probable he Fortieth will hardly survive me asseuiuimg vi i.i Congress," the probabilities on his side would amount almost to certainty." With tho majority of the L'unia partv, tho fact that Governor Morton has lost nis health in the service of the State will be considered a good reason for his election to the Senate. The du--. nt nnr so arduous as those of the executive office, and with the rest offered by the annual vacations , there is no reason to donbt his peedy recuperation. Certainly this would be a much more iiumauecour.se i to the Governor, than to require him to continue hi his present position two years longer, and then m lice him lYesident, as the Courier lately proposed. The names of Hon. 1. C. Uranham, G. V. Julian, G. S. Ortt, Colonel C. M. Allen and Judgo Hughes, have been mentioned by the Courier in connection with the place in case Governor Morton should not be nominated. Either of these gentlemen would doubtless perform the duties of the office with credit, and under other circumstances would make a strong race but there does not seem to be any disposition to un.te upon either of them at the present time, aud judging; from the tone of the Republican papers of the Mate Governor Morton will receive as hearty a support lor L. -iun,mr!iin a l.rfiil three vears since tor the Gubernatorial chair. Indianapolis Daily Journal, Nov. 6lh. Thb U. S. Senator. I he following is from the Centerville Fawn. Centerville is the forni.T home of Gov. MoKTO! Now, that the election in this Stato has resulted in a complete triumph to the Union pirty, giving us a large majority, the question as to who is the most eligible man for the position, a Tariety and numerous numbers of names have been suggested by members ot tbe Tress throughout the Stata. Without a desire ' to disparage the fitness of other aspirants, we claim I the privilege, with others, to suggest our first, last ! and onlr choice. Governor Oliver P.

So far as we have heard an expression ' from tiie boys in blue" they are enthusiastic in their j unanimity for Governor Morton as the next Senator ' trom loiiari i. and oor Legislature will uot ec hi tbe ' voice and will of rue might r people by bis unanimous election. 1 HI health of Governor Morton of "tVs State, is reported to be decidedly improving, liia tSorts in the recent campaign seem to have produced no injury whatever, to him.

Now all we have to sav is that it is a foregone conclusion that Oliver P. Morton will be elected as the next Senator from Indiana, and uothing but the death of that distinguished and patriotic Statesman, or a determination on his purt not to be a candidate, will prevent his election. Gov. M irton is eminently wfll qoalified for the position and it is due to him tor his great services, and the ability he has displayed as Caief Executive of tbe State. To him more than to any other one man is the jieoplo of Indiana indebted for the proud position she occupies in the Itepublican ranks.

Whole Number. 1837. t XO. 30 Who Shall be Oar Senator! ltbasbeea said that the late triumph of the Cnion party at the pvdls insures th election of Govermi Morton to th S.-nate of the I'nited States. This we hope and believe is true. It waa upon this very point that the copperheads made their most determined ttrht. In na other way can tNrir extreme bittrntesa and virulence toward him be accounted lr. His name did not appear on thj ticket, but no candidate for any fifties? n s assailed with such persistent devilishnesa as be, and bad they succeeded in electing their candidates, tlR?ir loudest howl of demoniac rejoicing would have been promj-tcd by the thought that Morton, the man thev had j-ersecuted and cursel, and tned to assassinate during the weary and bloody years of th w ar, out could never checkmate nor conquer, would at last for once be defeated. Thev made the issue and ere signally beaten: and now the t'nion party owe it to hm aud "to itself that be who has tieen its leader, who has stood at its bulwark against their most malignant attacks, and its target for their most envenomed arrows, should be exalted to the highest position now in nt gift.

We sec from our exchanges that there are several aspirants in the State for United States Senator. We had commenced writing an article upon that subject, when we received the Kendallville Standard, which contains an article that ouuts oar views so well that we copy it entire, giving it our unquaiiGed endorsement: iJijfto .!.rr. There is no name which causes a thrill of pleasure to agitate the heart of a L'niou soldier with greater effect t!:n that of Governor Morton. He is revered alike by the soldier now living and the relatives of those ho sacrificed their lives on the altar of their country. His name is coupled with blessings, together with fervent prayers lor Lis complete restoration to health, by the tremulous tongue of the aged sire aud the lisping prattle cf the orphan child of the failen patriot end hero, in fact, the name of Morton is a tabsmanic wont which tinds an echo iu the recesses of the hearts ot all members ot the Union party. -Vo name will draw so lart;e a crowd, and no sjeaker can create a greater enthusiasm. A man of stern integritv, an uuswervmg patriot, not to be influenced Irom the path of duty by tear or favor, he was esfecially hated and feared by the copperheads of this State. None bave been so vilhtied as he, and upou h:s bead was showered thi viais of wrath and vituperation of this aympathi eg uilo-treason taction. He has toiled'cvtry Ire sonable scheme which they conceived, or attempted .0 put into execution, lienco their hatred. They have 1-een met st every point bv his patriotic determination to make then-cord of Indiana a glorious one doriug the ar, hile they were endeaviirinir to destroy the finances of the State and put the foul blot of insolvency upou its fair escutcheon. Not content with that, they organized a traitorous conspiracy to assassinate him, overthrow the State Government, liberate the rebel prisoners, a.id precipitate civil war upon the North. We all know with what skill he defeated their muiduruus plans. He was indefatigable in bis labors for the welfare and safety of the Slate, and wherever there was an Indiana soldier, whether in the hospital or in the Cold, he telt the benefitting; iiitluenco of his Governor. In consequence of his unremittting attention to the duties ot his office, which taxed his energies both night and day, his health failed, yet he persevered in standing at the helm of the ship of State, determined not to yield bis position until it was aafely moored in the harbor of an undivided t'nion. lla. is slowly but sureiy gaming in health, and is again able to take l is accustomed place among the public meu of the nation. A L tiitci Suites Senator is to be elected in tha place of Hon. Henry S. Lane, who declines a re-election. Who is the suitable person for his successor? on utisner tiy nailing the name of O. P. Morton to our mast-head", as our lirst, last and only choice for that position. His :x year's service in the capacity of Governor, recommends him in a manner that cannot be questioned. He is the unanimous choice of this jo.it ol the Stale, and we know that if the people had the choice, Governor Morton wonld take his seat, God sparing his lite, iu the Senate of the United Six tew tor Hie next six years, the Legislature catr.iot do otherwise loan elect tiie unanimous choice of their constituents. All hail, our next Senator O. 1'. Morton. United States Senator. We had thought that tiie question was fully settled, in the late election, that Gov. Morton nan to be our next U. :. Senaii.r. It was certainly pretty well understood in this section, by ail leading He. ublicans, that ;f we wire successful, such was to be the case. e heard no other name even mentioned, until a fort-li-ght past, as a canili lato tor the ofiice. All neemed to concede that the position was due to Gov. Morton, wt only on account of his eminent ability Im because ot bis arduous laburs for the success of tbe (treat Uuion cause. tvery patriotic! citizen of the Suit", of whatever p- -u.-cai ..niu, it-els proud of the course pursued by Gov. ,h o ton in helping crush the reliellion. His reputation, iu this respect, is not contjnod to our State . one, hut is .National. I!: great l-.bor in thU cause need not lie specially reterred to, but all know how nobly he done his whole duty how faitors were thwarted in the'r efforts to revolutionize the State how the copperheads were frustrated in their attempt to clo the wheels of the State G iveniment-how grandly the State, through tbe efihrts of tho Governor, responded with her uoble sons to battli against the enemies or the country. These things are matters of history not to be gainsayed. 1'or these reasons, if lor cone other, Gv. Morton should receive the vote of every Itepublit-an uiemler of the Legislature for the pos t ou of U. S. Senator. Gov. Morto-i is certainly (he great man of the Stat . In the Senate his commanding taleuts would at once be recognized, and he would take rank among tiie abWst members and reflect great honor on the Mate. Can this be said of any one of the half oV zjn other can liJatf-s who ere boldly pushing t'lir claims to the position? We think not. They may all be very good men but certain!!- Done of them would so credibly represent Indiana In the U. S. Senate as would Gov. Morton. One of onr crtempnrar'es (who seemt to have an ax to grind or aome petty spite to vent,) in urging the claims of its pet candidates, argues, as chances in its favor, that all the democrats, on account of political animosity, will vcte against Gov. Morton, and we are left to infer that they will vote for his candidate. No better argument atainst bis candidate could have b"en useu. Sv e ant co U. S. Senator elected oy coalesing w ith rebel copperheads when we have a clear man .my ot An on joint ballot. Any man the copperheads would vote for is just the man we don't waut. Gov.

Among those mentioned m tms connection, are Hon, u. C. Brantion. It is Uiat oi uurer r.

To him we are indebted more than to any nun in the State, for tbe gtorions record made by Indiana during tiie rebellion. 'or was bis influence alone felt in Indiana.
