You a,c right. Illinois i. safe for Ere Iont; and
80, in m, oppion, is every Western State north of
the line Of Slavery. IowL has already proved her.
self true to Freedom, ard in November will cbl'
finn her verdict with redouoled erl
ph4.is. The right spirit ia awake AMI

Nebraska tiffany. You may safely place WiscOn-
sin among IT,, States that are reliable ilr re

him 70 will tie Germans and NOrwcglaus, almost
iG IBass.
IS regards Illinois, | have word to say. Tne
Doueastes or at least the more loId-nouthed
portion Of them, pretend 10 believe they are able
10 carry the Ststc for Buchanan; but having for
some weeks carefully watched their manuGvres,
Your corrcspoLdents opinion il that they do not eX-
pect to carry it. TLere is nothing TO encourage
such sn expt citation. All the chances and prOba
bili,ies are against them We have but to look at
the state of things ttrc for one moment t. satisfy
us how tbe State il going. The great bulk of the
German vote and the ebtlre Free Soil Democratic
yotc-two elements which have heretofore gone
fax toward swelling the "DemOcratic majorltes
are now going for Fremont. Add to these t~J
poWt rful elements embracing at least one third of
roll Wing vote AID atout one. fourth of all the for
eipn vote Of the State exclusive of the Germans
that is sure for Fremont, and shall have at the
lowest calculation thirds OF the entire vote Vi
Illirois for The Republican nominees. Bssell, for
Governor will get even larger vote than reInont
fer President.
Iwish these predictions put on the record to be
referred to "a ter the election i'll November. Your
Correspondent speaks not at random; he has been
"around," ana bases bis opinions upon what he has
seen with lis own eyes, heard with bis own ears,
and be- en- assured of by evidences the most trust
worthy Going through the northern and central
portions Cf this State, one would thina, 10 hear
people talk and witness how they feel, that every
tovr. from the Wisconsin line to that benz GIFTED
old fogy rel len 10 the southern part Of the State
known as Egypt" was going almost an mdsse Tor
the Peoples Ticket. | repeat, you are right IN
saving that Illinois il safe for Fremont
some doubt is entertained in certain quarters as
to Ind;aua such duubters have but to take TRIP
throulh that State, aud witness vita what earnest
ices ED determination the fremonters are al
work 70 gel all their doubts. Put down lhdlapa
in TIE list OF II liable Fremont States; you can 90 SO
with entire safety. AID Ohio aid Michigan are as
.ure 10 give msicrties in favor Of Fremont as ee :
tior,.da, il sure to come Depend on that.
