Col. FREMONT is more spoken Of 10 this State
for President on the Republican side, than any
other man. A sort Of intuitive feeling pervades
the People that he will be nominated and elected.
The same sentiment is extending over Iowa, and
spreading into Wisconsin. He seems to combine
more elements of strength than any man who has
yet been named. Let him stand unequivocally on
q sound Republican patform-pledged to resist
the sggressions Of Siavery-and he can get the
support Of the Anti-Slavery men Of all parties
Were the Republicans able to elect whomsoeyer
they might nominate, the North-W estern States
would send an unbroken delegation for SEWARD;
but il is felt that his time has not yet come. We
must wait yet little longer before beholding that
glorious corsummatOn-that bright page OF Amer
lean history.
You set down Illinois among the doubtful States
but she is not so doubtful as you may suppose Let
the Black Democracy at their Cincinnati Conven-
ton nominate either Pierce or Douglas, and with
Fremont for President and Bissel for Governor,
we can row either of them up Salt River. This is
not idle Boosting, but the serious belief OF
the best informed politicians in our State.
All that is needed to carry Illinois is to combine
the Opposition Chase cannot do that, as the cry
of Abolitionism would lose him thousands OF votes
in "ERypt" as it did in Southern Ohio. lie
could not afford to run $4,000 votes behind bis
ticket, AZ he did last FALL and still carry TINS
State. We had no such mighty majority to fall
back upon, as the Republicans have in Ohio. Nor
would Seward fare much better at this juncture.
The Know. NOthipgs have not yet forgiven
him for the heavy blows he struck them
But with Fremont the case is different. lie
would not be embarrassed or run into the ground
by either of those clamOrs. lie would poll the
votes of all those who oppose the Black Democra-
CIV. and they constitute a handsome majority OF
the legal voters of Illinois. The hatred to Doug
lac and Pierce and to their wantOn violation OF the
Missouri Compromise is strong and fresh IN the
minds of the people. In contest between
Douglas and Fremont, the votes thrown away on
Fillmore would hardly amount to scattering.
Whatever votes have been lost by reaction since
1854. have been made up by Anti-Slavery lmml-
grafton from New-EDgand, New-York and Ohio.
And then. in such desperate and exciting canvas
os the present will be, several thousand converts
can be made from the followers of Ebo-shin, and
brought to the knowledge of true Democracy:
