MONMOUTH, Illinois, Nov. 4, 1862.
To tie Editor Of The philadelphia Press:
SIK: am now in Warren county, on the
thousands from stand on the public
square, for two hours. / am not able to
say what number of persons we're present,
bat the citizens say it Eas the largest aR-
dience that ever assembled here since the
settlement of the country They report it
as larger than that assembled to he6r

Smith, the Mormon Prophet, before Stephen
a. Douglas, the judge of the court did NOT
bring ont such crowd in this town, al
though the Mormon hordes of Nauyoo then
came down upon the place
The election comes OF to-day, and leave
here to speak at Galesburg, in Knox eOun-
". In this county of Warren the contest
will be very close between the Union
party a1d the Seeessionists. The meeting
yesterday was a very enthusiastic one, and
indicated the success of the Union ticket.
l met with many Teunesseaus, who had
come quite q distance to meet me, and
they were all devoted 70 the Union.
But, to my utter establishment, the Sc
cessionists OF illinois are almost as numer-
Gus az the Union men! They talk their
treason right out declare themselves upon
the side of the South, and against the pres
ent Administration of the General Govern
ment. These traitors call themselves Dem-
Ocrats, but they openly ayOW the trea-
sonnble policy of the "Knights of the Col
den Circle" and threaten violence after
the elections are over. Indeed, the organs
of these traitors, in every part of the State,
from the Chicago Times down to their dirty
little s-by-l0s, threaten To suppress their
political opponents, peacably II they can,
forcibly If they must. The violent men Of
this cabal, 10 their high state of excite
ment, Overstep all bounds of discretion,
aud say that their plan is to carry the State
Legislature, aud throw the State into the
hands Of the Secessionists, and that then,
If the loyal friends of the Government don't
submit 10 their political diciations, they
will resort TO J0reible TegOIution in the
North These vile traitors don't pretend
that they want to join the South, but say
they are for HNoEthWestern COnfederacy!"
Their speakers, on the stump, both for Con-
gress and the State Legislature, seek to
prejudice the people against the New Eng
land States, denounce them as "Abolition-
lists, and as imposing upon them high tax
| cd and an oppressive tariff, and say Ihey
must be separated from these aeeursed
Yankees. The extent of this disatfection
is really alarming to loyal man.
Why the Federal Government should al
low the TeG Davis papers and orators, in
this State, to take the bold, defiant, aud
outrageous course they do, is to me mat
ter of great astonishmentI They are as
bitter 10 their denuncistions of the Presi-
dent, as bold in their abuse of the Govern
ment, and as avOwedly hostile 10 the Un-
| ion, as are the ultra secessionists of the
Southern States. 1t is certainly tune thA,
all such traitors we're waited upon BY the
Omitted States Marshal, and taken to quar-
iers where their treason will be heard by
fewer persons. The secret of the success
of JEFF Davis thus far is, that he eonIBeLs
obedience to his Government, aud does not
allow paper to be printed or circulated
known to be of doubtful loyalty to his in
fernal Government. Our Government
would DO we'll to profit by the example at-
forded Us by the rebel authorities.
The contest to-day will he fierce, and
as between the parties, close, as believe.
A great number of men have claimed ex-
emption from the draft, because they were
aliens, Notwithstanding many OF them have
voted in former elections. The game won't
work now, as all such names are recorded,
and this class of DsmoeTdtS will he watch
