nacle on Monday night was attended by an
immense throng of citizens of all PARTIES
Anthony J. Blocker, an old and prominent
democrat, presided. A series of resolutions
offered by Joseph Blunt, were adopted unani.

Tribune, Hon. Samuel Galloway of Ohio,a land
others.
Governor Reeder was prevented from being
present, as was intended.
After the speeches, "a com ittee was appoint
ed to receive subscriptions, and large amount,
in sums of from $40 to 5000, were collected
before the meeting closed While the sub
scriptions were being handed in, a despatch
was received from the Kanzas Committee of
Chicago, stating that men enough. for Kanzas
were already enrolled, at that point, and all
that was wanted was more money.
The amount of subscriptions raised reached
nearly $4,000. A committee was appointed to
collect donations from the citizens at large.
The speech of Judge Culver was in his best
vein. We give the following extract, in which
he knitted the getters up of the Nebraska swindle

weight of these circumstances; and when that
one, signed by the three thousand elergymen
of New England, was presented (applause), it
was not because it was signed by clergymen,
but because it was understood to be the en-
bodiment of the great moral and religious SEN
timent of the North, that they assaulted a
certain timber backed Senator who presented
it. (Laughter.) 1t was because it was the
embodiment of Northern sentiment that the

ILLINOIS FOR FREEDOM. Illinois has been
regarded as doubtful State, but as we think,
without good reason. A Princeton, Illinois,
correspondent OF the New York Eoeniag Post,
says:
"No well.informed man has now any doubt
as to the position Illinois will occupy in No.
vember next. The ticket placed before the
people by the Convention at Bloomington
with Bissell at the head, will sweep the State
by at least e, 900 majority. l know that you
Eastern people have always put us down as a
Nebraska State, or, at best, doubtful beg
you will put us in that category no longer
Illinois will cast her votes for the cand ates
nominated at Philadelphia, and no mistake"
A Cincinnati correspondence OF the same pa
por, says:
II have just conversed with prominent
politician from Illinois, who was in attendance
upon the Anti Nebraska State Convention.
He says he never saw so much enthusiasm in
the state for any one, as was beginning to be
manifested there for Bissell, the candidate for
Governor. His nomination was made unani-
mously, and by acclamation."
The st. Louis Democrat Of the 9th inst,
announces "with satisfaction and joy" that
Colonel Benton accepts tho nomination Tor
Governor of Missouri. Col Benton has de-
termined TO take the stump ind canvass the
State.
The Republicansof Illinois have nominated
German for Lieut.. Governor, and a German
for State Senator Il. ii. Hoffman for the lrst
office, and A. Hockor for the second.
