Special Dispatch to the Republican Headquarters
WASHINGTON, August "a, 1860.
The Republican National Committee, of
which Senator King is chairman, are in re-
ceipt of glorious news from every part of
the country, relative to the prospects of
our cause. Illinois Will astonish the coun-
try with her majority for Lincoln and Ham,
lin. Even Egypt" tic benighted region
OF that State, is undergoing political rev.
olutlon that will strike the enemies of free
labor with CONSERVATION. Frank Blair. Jr..
with his newly won laurels upon him, will
canvass the interior counties of his own
Stare, after making a dozen speeches in
Indiana. The most cheering news comes
from Indiana. Gel Lane, the Republican
candidate for Governor of that State, sets
down Indiana as sure :or the Republican
ticket by handsome majority, even if by
any possibility the shattered Democracy
could be united As it is, the victory is
easy, if the usual amount of work is done.
At present the canvass is active. The
Breckenridge men. under the lead of Fitch
and Bright, arc bitterly hostile to Doug
las, and the friends of the latter will give
no quarter to the former. The Bell-Ev-
erett movement in Indiana is little more
than myth.
Pennsylvania is making gallant fight
against the slave power. Forney, Hick-
man, and the friends of the lamented
Schwartz, will not submit to any trading
with the Breckenridge disunion movement,
and it is said that Douglas does not wish
them to do SO. If Douglas has not found
his mother he has found out who his Bit
terest enemies are, and is determined to
punish them. If he can't be President
himself he is bound that Illinois shall have
the Office, and declares so openly. Should
the leading Douglas politicians attempt
to make q fusion with the wire-pullers of
the Bell1Everett party they will fail in ac-
complishfng their object, as the rank and
file of the former party are sincere anti
Lecomrdon men. They opposed the infa-
nous Lecompton policy of the Administra-
ton from principle, and not on the mere
basis Of policy and the Bell-Everett rank
and file will not be sold to the wicked
slaveholding oligarchy but will direct their
action in such way as to strike down the
present extrayagant and dictatorial Admin
istration.
Col. Curtin, the Republican candidate
for Governor, is making a gallant fight
against the Disunionists and Squatterites,
and is sanguine of a triumphant election
The leading Republicans of Pennsylvania
declare that they neither want men nor
money from abroad. They can make their
own fight. Immense quantities of Repub-
lican documents are being sent into every
part of the State. Covode's report, illus
trating the recklessness with which the Bu-
chanan Democracy has administered the
Government. is doing a good work and is
in great demand. The Committee have
the most cheering news from New York
State, to the effect that the masses who
followed the banner of Fillmore in 1856,
repudiate the Brooks-Hunt concoction, and
will rally under the lead of Jewett of the
Buffalo Commercial AdUertiser, Ullman and
Scroggs, for the Rail Splitter and the son
of the Pine Tree State The leading Re-
publieans il every part of the Empire State
assert that Lincoln and Hamlin will sweep
the State by from fifty to seventy thousand
majority. The talk about fusion of the
Douglas and Bell parties in New York State,
is viewed by all knowing politicians as an
immense piece of sham.
New Jersey is considered as perfectly safe
and sound for the Republican candidates.
Adrian and Riggs, Anti-Lecompton men,
bers of Congress from New Jersey, concede
the State to Lincoln and Hamlin. Letters
from the leading Republicans of Maine. an
nounce that the Republican majority in
that State will be largely increased in the
State election on the 18th of September
The Madison argus publishes an ex-
tract from letter written by one who owns
lot of railroad farm mortgages, and re-
marks that what is advanced by the author
of the letter is at least worth the attention
of defrauded victims of railroad manage
ment in this State. We copy:
| have written to the debtors that will
foreclose if they do not commence paying
interest. I paid 80 per cent. in cash for
them, and cannot therefore submit to much
loss and besides I notify them all that
they have valid, legal claim on the Direc-
| tors for the full amount of TIER stock. Tt
appears to me that some of your Wisconsin
papers should make public this important
fact. The whole amount of the La Crosse
farm mortgage stock is only $1,15O, 900,
and Kneeland, Kilbourn and Hadley alone
must be worth that sum. These associa-
tons should purchase Redfeld' treatise on
Railways, they will find out their only legal
remedy is against the directors and officers
There has been recent decision in this cir
cult, ALBANY, N W, on this subject, in
the case of the Mohawk River Bank, in
! which the President and Cashier were made
to pay for stock sold under false publish
ed statement made by them.
