that issue, and our determination at all times
and under allIcrcumstances so TO exercise our

Resoired, That we are ahaherabiy opposed
to the extension of slavery over one foot of
territory now free; that we will seek the i'm
mediate and unconditional repeal OF so much
OF the Kanzas and Nebraska act as annuls the
Missouri Compromise, and that we will OPP
pose the admission into the Confederacy of
any aelo State formed out of the territorial
possessions, unless slavery is prohibited there
in.
These would, of course have been repudia-
ted with equal unaniU.ity, notwithstanding.

1n1rNo1s.-A correspondent of the New York
Bge,ing Post writing from Princeton, Bureau
county, nllnois.--a writer of whose Judgment it
speaks in high terms-giyes the most encourag-
ing accounts of the Republican prospects in that
State. He says 1.-THE feeling is growing
stronger and deeper every day in favor Of Fremont
and Bissell, and IS rapidly making its way South
west New recruits are daily added to the Re-
publican ranks, and the tide, already too strong
to be resisted, is bearing us on to certain vieto-
ny in the State" He estimates that we're the
election to take place to day, it would be good for
majority of twenty thousand. The first district,
Washburn's, he thinks will give Fremont from
eight to twelve thousand majority the second
or Chicago district, will give from four to six
thousand majority the third will give from five
to seven thousand the fourth will give from
three to five thousand the eighth will give us at
least two thousand.
The fifth, sixth, and seventh districts will not
give more than five hundred either way. He adds;
"Giying our opponents the benefit of every
doubt, and putting our majcrities at the lowest
estimate, shall carry the State by eleven thou
sand majority. For myself fully believe we
shall do much better. believe, as l have said
heretofore, that Illinois is sure for twenty thou
sand for Fremont, and more for Bissell."
In regard to members of Congress, he writes =
OF the ninesmembers of Congress which we are
to elect, the Republicans are sure of five, and will
stand good chance FOR eight. In this, the third
district Owen Lovejoy is the Republican candi-
date. His election is sure by triumphant major
ity." Commenting upon his anticipatons, the
Post says =
g We accept his estimate without scruple or
doubt. II no powerful cause, which we can
not now foresee, occurs to disturb the current
of public opinion in Illinois, and to create
pref against the Republican candidates
which do not exist, Fremont will carry the
State by majority equal, or nearly SO, to the
number mentioned by OUT correspondent. He
represents the northern counties as already in

ticket nominated at Philadelphia, and the feel
