From the most reliable information we can
that the Republican party is rapidly gaining
ground in Central and Southern Illinois.
4 short time since a leading Democrat Of
Clinton county told us there we're many changes
from the Democracy to RRpublicanisrn in his
Immediate neighboraood, and, said he: "Eveyy
young man within my knowledge-and I can
count twenty-tir or thlrtT-who has bscome
Republican ticket next fall" lie further ex-
pressed himself as believing it very doubtful
whether Douglas could carry Illinois next fall,
should he be the nominee Of tile Charleston
Convention.
We hare good authority for sayipg the Re-
rublieans hare gained at least hundred votes
in Jefferson County while in ons precinct in
Marion, where there WAS but one Republican
vote two years ago. the parties are now almost
equally divided. There are counties low down
10 Egypt where not dozen Republican yptes
were polled in 1853, which hare lately held
County Conventions composed Of twicc TINT
number Of voters, and chosen full delegations
to the Republican State Convention.
In This county, although yery little effort 5
dually gaining. Two ycars ago the county went
Democratic BY from four to ten rotes on the
Stale ticket. Last fall it gave Republican ma
jority Of over hundred; and next fall, If Re-
publcans simply do their duty-nothing mere,
nothing lest may safely be counted at d huu-
dred majority for Lincoln or Bates over the Lit
tle Giant. Should Seward be the Republican
candidate, although he ought to r1n as well as
eny. other man, i would render this county
doubtful There IS SO much unfunded preju-
dice against him, that it would certainly be an
uphill business 10 elect him ngainst Demo
crat that would run well in the North. Nefrc-
luently hear men who are hostile to the Democ-
racy say they never will rotc for Seward. Ask
them why, sud they will answer that he is too
ultra Ask them 10 read his speech, and they
answer that they don't want to read the speech
of any such man. Such men are governed by
prejudice instead Of reasou Still It will not do
TO disregard their prejudices. Our candidates
cannot b. elected without votcs enough, and it
is all the saae whether they fail 70 get lie .otes
on account Of an unfounded prejudice, Or from
some other cause; consequently it would be bad
policy 10 nominate man against whom these
ptejYlices exist. Let US run our. most araila-
bic men; provided they arc honest, able and
reliable Republicans, and the victory is ours.

~ The Chicago Nominee.

Some one at Chicago writes 10 the New York
Tribune that Scward would carry Illinois by at
least 5000 majority against crcn Mr. Douglas.
Such assertions bctray gross and inexcusable
ignorance Of popular sentiment, and arc ca1cu-
lated to do mischief. We hare most profound
admiration for the eminent ability and patriotic
statesmanship Of ME. Seward, aud would cl.ecr-
iully gire hi1n our vote could j: make him Pres

votes, and cren Jcn. Davis could carry THO
State against him. We honestly beliere TINT
Seward could not carry more tl,an two:thiIds OF

leaying out Of The question the thousands Of
