ILLNoIs.-Mr. Danenbower Of the Chicago Cit
izen, writes as follows in regard to the American
cause in Illinois
sour cause is Frightening in this State daily
My advices are from all sections-in fact, almost
every county-and of most fattering kinds. The
vacancies on our State ticket viii be filed, within
very few days, with the names Of reliable and
popular men, when we intend opening the canvass
with zeal and energy unsurpassed since the cam
paign of 1910. The prairies are in abaze with
the pure spirit of Americanism, and it only needs
the second sober thought OF the people of the
North to subdue the spirit of fanaticism which has
been running rampant in their midst. Fillmore
stock is on the rise, even in this benghted region,
with fair prospect Of an upward tendency until
the ides Of November, shall proclaim him the
choice of the people of Illinois, as well as the en-
tire nation. Arrangements are making to have
our principles boldly and openly proclaimed by
Jealous advocates, in every village, town. and ham
let, where thousands will flock to our standard
who are now counted in the ranks of our oppo-
nsnts. We are forming Fillmore and Donelson
National Club, and are now preparing an address
to the electors of Illinois"

The Rhode Island Telegraph, at Warren, hoists
the Fillmore Flag After referring to the senti-
ments of confidence in Mr.. Fillmore, on account
of his past services, the Telegraph says:
But there is another sentiment now pervading
minds hitherto deficient in it, although imbued
with the enthusiasm which the name of such
standard bearer was calculated to awaken, and
with that rational conviction of his fitness which
his history so conclusvely furnishes. This senti-
ment is one Of belief that he can be elected.

people were present. Hon. Jesse G. Damn, presi-
ded. The list of Vice Presidents contains the
names of some of the most influential citizens Of
Western New York Erastus Brooks was received
with immense enthusiasm. The Commercial says:
"The cheering consequent on Mr.. Brooks's ap-
pearance was followed by the presentation of three
large and beautiful bouquets, each in an elegant
vase, and bearing an appropriate inscription. One
of them was presented to Mr. Brooks, the orator
of the evening another to the Glee Club, who
were on the ground to discourse spirit-stirring
music, and the other to Mr.. Starkweather, for the
excellent and patriotic song he had composed for
the occasion. After this pretty incident the Pres
ident of the meeting introduced the Hon. Erastus
Brooks, Of New York, when there arose perfect
storm Of enthusiastic and protracted applause
When, at length, this immense cheering had ceas-
ed, and that vast assembly, which was graced by
the presence of number OF patriotic ladies',
turned their faces In mute attention towards the
orator Of the evening. he commenced one of the
most able sound, and convincing political speeches
it has been our good fortune to hear 1t is impos-
sbe, in the brief space at our disposal, to do any
justice to its array of telling facts its mastery

sentiments"

Locofoco Testimony in Behalf of Mr..
FiIImore

Colonel John w. Stevenson, OF Covington, Ken
lucky, one OF the ablest. Democrats Of the State,
and the man selected to take Major Breckinridges
place Democratic eector for the State at large,
made speech, about week ago, at Lexington,
in which he administered a scathing rebuke TO
those orators Of his own party who go about de-
nouncing Mr. Fillmore as an Aboltionist. The
Observer and Reporter thus reports the substance
of his remarks upon this point:
He said it was no part of his mission to abuse
or denounce Mr.. Fillmore; that he did not intend
TO initiate the example Of some OF his Juvenile,
beardless speakers, who were roaming over the
country; he frankly admitted that Mr.. Fillmore
was pure patriot-that he met the crisis through
which the country passed during his administra-
ton like man and a lover Of his country-and
that he was willing to 60 further and say that, in
his opinion, he would do it again should he be
elected. That, although Mr.. Fillmore, raised at
the North, and breathing an atmosphere not con-
genial to Southern rights, had in his earlier years,
expressed opinions inimical to slavery, yet his
administration showed that, when called to the
Executive chair of the nation, he threw off all par
tsan feelings, discarded all sectional views, and
showed himself the friend Of his whole country,
the Union and Constitution"
The same tone OF remark seems to have been
adopted by COL Stevenson in his speech at Leba-
non. According to the Lebanon Post, Ia Buchanan
paper,) he declared that, if it could be proved
that Fillmore could have any chance Of election,
he would vote for him, believing him to be an
honest man.
