T FROM ILLINOIS.

FRIEND JONES Having had for some length Of
time a longing desire to see the western country,
l determined to crafty my curiosity.
A journey by railroad is too common an affair to
excite Interest,"; so suffice it to say that in sixteen
hours | was transported over four hundred and
fifty miles, from o country Astounding in woods
and bills, to one where the eye could look for miles
without beholding a single tree towering toward
the skies, or q single hill to disturb the evenness
of the plain. To other eyes than mine, the vast
prairie might have looked beautiful, without hills
and trees, and l may say water; but to me it
looked strange, odd, and therefore held my gaze
with a fascinating power. Il seemed that the hand
OF nature had been surely arrested ere il had com
pleted its task, and poopled these vast prairies
with towering forests. But what delights the eye
most in travelling through the western country, is
the large fields of corn ever where seen. Just
now, in the busy time when farmers are huskine
and cribing their corn, and the large cribs being
rapidly filed with the golden ears, is O sight
worth beholding.
Political excitement is not as high here as in
northern Ohio, perhaps because there is not as
much recognized difference between the parties
Republicanism here is quite u different thing from
Republicanism on the Reserve. Illinois Republi-
cans do not claim, or desire that there should be
much anti-slavery feeling in their party.
Many republicans, and all the democrats to-day
curse a negro, and have an instructive hatred to-
wards the whole negro race. This prejudice fell
towards the African race must be broken down
before the slave can gain bis frec'-- and civi
rights, to say nothing of his social rights. VIII
degrade a man because of the color of his skin
Is there any earthly reason?
The blird hatred felt towards a negro, shut
out every particle of sympathy that would natu
rally be felt for one wronged and outraged. A
gentleman in Ottawa, LaSalle County, has recently
paid the penalty OF the violated law, A slave wal
arrested in Ottawa, tried and remanded back into
the hands of the Marshal, from whom with thu
aid Of others, he made his escape. The rescuer,
were brought to trial in Chicago, convicted ant
paid the penalty of fine and imprisonment; aut
this in a country where the people rule.

NO POLICY.

The N. 7. EueniSg Post in an article on the
next Congress, in referring to Lincoln as the in
coming President, says ION the slavery question
his administration will probably have no q6irm0-
tire policy, except TO admit Kansas, and to thGt.
there can be no serious opposition"
Perhaps the administration of King Log win be.
more preferable than that of King Stork it wilR
give the people a better opportunity to snooze and
s%nOre;and though King Log may possess but little
individuality, his negative qualities will tend TO-
promote q%uietude, and give the country rest from
the agitation of the slavery question.
Vote, then, for the mum candidate elect TO The
presidency ore whose administration will offend
no one by lite Affirmative policy.

LETTER FROM PHILADELPHIA.

ED. BUGLE: The frat agony here is over, that
is, the State election, but another and q greater
one is to come-the Presidential election. By the
first the interest of the State and glory of the peo-
ple's party have been subserved, and the safety OF
this great work. In November l presume the
Union will be secured against ali contingencies Of
danger. Ohio and Indiana have also gone the
way of Pennsylvania-helped 10 save the Union;
and since the election l presuma all those patriots
who labored so Justify to achieve these victories
can sleep more soundly. To effect all this, how
ever, it required an immense amount of turpen-
tine, patriotism, grog, and noise. Since the 9th
we have been much more quiet here. Douglas en-
thusiasm, Breckidridge patriotism and Bellring-
ing on the streets have ceased.
There is one thing I have noticed about this
election which reminds one of lS54-5 and along
there. l we'll remember how it was then Democ-
racy was uppermost, aud Whigism, Freesoilism J.,
and Knownothingism, were opposed to the ruling
party. VIA: was the cry then 2 1t was fusion
fusion Then we had old pro-slavery Clay Wings,
easy-going Democrats, ex-Liberty men, Knownoth-
ings, and | don't know how many other odds and
ends, all ~united-fused into one-to boat the De-
moeraey. And they did SO. Efforts we're made
by the captains, colonies, generals and other
chiefs of the Douglas, Breckenridge, aad Bell par
ties TO get up a fusion in Pennsylvania and New
York, and l have noticed that the Republican or
gans have made themselves exceedingly funny
over the idea of this attempted fusion. That Re-
publican party has but to 60 back six brief years
to see that it was conceived, born and brought up
before the psOple-as a regular fusion bantling.
Don't you reeOllect oil about it, Had there never
been a fasiOn Of the most incongruous dement's
there never would have been a Republican party
or rather the Republican party, which is now SO
excellent.
And what did those hOary Wings, such as Cor
win Ewing, and hhndreds more Os the

trust not without benefit to those who participatc
in them, and to the cause of truth.
l see by a late paper from your neighborbood
that our old friend, Mr.. Heatop, was to lecture on
Democracy as it 'ods and as it is. Will he change
his subject so much as to put Republication in
stead Of Democracy / should like to hear him
on that-would not you?
The great Methodist paper in New York, called
The Methodist, is certainly hunksrish enough.
oul In Ohio some humane member Of the church
had the good sense and Christian fortitude to pro-
pose, in one Of their meetings, a resolution for
bidding any one to become a member of the church
who used tobacco, and it was adopted. The
Methodist is down on the movement, aud says
such a restriction would have kept Asbury and
other great men out of the church. Wesley some
where inoulcated the idea that no dirty man could
be q true Christian, or a sentiment to this effect.
he also recorded the idea that slavery is the sum
OF Villanies. Since that time there have been
slave-holding and tobacco-chewing bishops. and
their example is of more weight than Wesley's
sentiments, on cleanliness and slavery. Filthy,
men-stoaling Methodists are good enough breth-
rem for the church now.
Mr.. Cough the eminent TEMPERANCE lecturer.
has been holding forth on that subject here. Large
crowds go to hear him, (as 25 cts. each) and l
have heard no one regret giving his quarter, for he
is certainly a most powerful speaker. l think,
however, for the good Of humanity, that his efforts
should be free to all; but the Young Mems Chris
tan Association, of this place, are using Mr.. G.
to further other ends, l am told, than the temper
ance cause. They are raising money to build a
line house to pray in, and further the interests of
sectism. think it poor policy for the good of
humanity. to sell GU. the efforts of any man like
AIR. e., thus preventing the suffering thousands,
who need the benefit of all bis services, from
awaiting themselves of the advantages he may be
able to confer by his Oloquence. How would it
look to hear of St. Paul being hired out at rs cts.
per head, in order to get to hear him But l
must stop. j. F.

THE SECOND ANNUAL
MICHIGAN ANTI-sLAVERY CONVENTION

The Convention of Last year having proved SO
eminent a success, it is thought desirable, in the
present important stage of the Anti-Siavery cause
to repeat it!
The Second Annual Anti-Slavery Convention
for the State of Michigan, will accordingly be held
in ADRIAN, commencing on SATURDAY the
18th of November 1860, at 2 O'Clock, in the after
noon. 1t iS confidently expected and believed that
all who love truth and liberty more than party or
~sectarian thraldOm, will as far as possible attend,
and aid all in their power, both before and at the
Convention, to make this one of the most impor-.
tant gatherings ever held in the State.
Among the Speakers will be Mrs. Josephine S,
GriHng, SO we'll and so favOrably known in our
State, Parker Pillsbury, of Boston, and Giles B

Jerry Boyd, an honest, industrious and %inofren-
sive cOlored drayman OF Galena, where he had
lived a sober and reputable life for nearly twenty
years; bis wife, Mary Boyd, whom he bought out
of slavery with money earned by the sweat of his
brow; q girl also colored but also free, aged II to
IA, who lived in Jerry's family; and a white child
who Mary took care Uf for a poor woman at SER
vice, were enticed away from their homo two or
three weeks ago by a couple of strangers, upon
the ~pretence that the three oldest persons Of the
party were to have profitable and pleasant en-
ployment on a farm and in a hotel at Des Moines,
Iowa. They wero last seen in Johnson county of
that State, in o covered wagon, going westward.
A few days after their departure from that coun-
ty, the body of q man was found by the roadside,
near where they were last seen, and from papers
in his pocket it was plain that it was the body of
Boyd, and that he had been murdered. News of
his death went back TO his friends in Galena, and
then for the first time a suspicion that the party
had been kidnapped for sale into slavery, was ex-
cited; that suspicion grew into a certainty by fur
Their Developments; and the people who used to
see Boyd every day at his work earning honest
bread, offered, though he was a mHlattO, a reward
of Ave handred dollars for the apprehension of
the villains who had committed double crime;
and despatched two trusty men to follow the Grim

soUATTER SOVEREIGNTY ENDORSED:

clined to re-nominate him, he has announced him.
self as an independent candidate. From the sub
Joined letters il seems that his Republicanism is
endorsed by those high in authority. We suppose
that politically, squatter sovereignty in Eli ThAyer
may be tolerated, and even approved, while squat

of all condemnation. Not being a politician VIZ

Il deplore with you the controversy which hht'

still feel myself at liberty TO express the hope that
