KIrrANsING PAL, June l, 1860.
Pretty extensive intercourse with the people of this
region Of our State since the Chicago Convention has
satisfied me that our vote will be much better than it
was in 1856 Not word of dissatisfaction has reached
nv ear. The most decided friends Of Mr.. Seward

was AN eccentric old merchant and excellent Republican,
whose tongue has a pretty strong German accent.
After his return he was relating 10 a group Of his
neighbors the scenes and incidents of the Convention
among whom was leading Democrat, who remarked

The Democratic State Convention of Mississippi
have unanimously approved the course of the dele
gates of that State at Charleston. These delegates
were among the seceders.
A correspondent in Springfield, Illinois, writes
thus, under date Of June /:

-Rousing ratification meetings have been held by
the Republicans in Prineeyille and Fairfield Illinois.
The whole State seems alive with enthusiasm.

North as well at the South
