Feeedom's Thunder from Illinois.

EDITOR ADVERTISER: Tho star of Fre-
mont and Freedom, certainly shines bright
ly over the prarics of Illinois.
We have been travelling and visited sever
al of the towns and cities during the past
week. We hear but one open and indignant
expression among the people; the sentiment
bitter and loud against the fragrant outragcs
of the administration Of Mr.. Pierce. One
feeling of determined hostility against the
iniqutous and time serving politicians, who
sustained President Pierce in his warfare
against freemen in Kansas, who support
rowdyism at Washington.
Mr.. Buchanan, we have heard spoken of
by those whose antecedents were of similar
political faith, as suitable man enough,
aside from his voluntary servility TO slavery,
his alliance with Douglas & Co.
Old party lines seem to be nearly effaced
in Illinois We frequently hear it urged that
Mr. B., associating himself with wicked COM
pany, must share the fate of "poor Tray"
Alas! for Douglas; we have yet to find
the first individual in the State, vile enough
to defend him, or attempt to apologize for
his course in the Senate.
None, better than the people Of Illinois,
appreciate his low demagoguism at home, his
rowdyism and insolcncc at Washington
The people of tho State, so far as can learn,
deem Douglas rather disparagement than
an honor to them. Think of such words as
"we will subdue you," to be employed by a
grave Senator against a free people, meaning
that himself and the President, having
the power to direct and control the army,
could sul.due the freemen of Kansas as suit
ed their pleasure. Hence the plea Of might
is Douglas argument for right. He does not
sccm in this State, to be regarded as man
Of high order of talent, though Of smart tact
for controlling grog shop patriots.
A stranger to principles, he does not scri-
pie to pander to the lowest passions of men
to effect his purpose.
along John" Wentworth is among the
leading spirits in tho Republican ranks-by
some his position is deemed an accession to
the party-while others doubt the same.
Let me assure you that the continued ag-
gressions Of the slave power from year to
year, in Kansas, at Washington-havc a
reused n spirit Of Indignation among the peo
pie of the prairies of Illinois, which will moi
subside until the authors of manifold griev-
ances are ''sent up" ample redress secured
! and safety for the future.
Douglas will receive notice to quit so soor
as the people can reach the end of his "Con
stitutional" term. This is forcgonc conclu
sion with them.
Fremont is claimed to be. the first choice
and the Partial candidate with the people o
Illinois.
r. the popular blasts Of next Novembe
from the towns, over the prairics. do no
watt overwhelming majoritics for Fremont
We greatly mistake the tone and temper Of M
indignant people. Yours, B.

p S.-Thc winter wheat crops in the in
terror Of tho State, promise fair. All sprin:
crops, wheat, corn. oats and grass have beer
severely pinched by the drouth. The vielc
must he light through the State. Man,
fields Of oats and spring wheat will not pa,
the harvesting.
