Atier thls view of the caso had been woll ad- vancod, tho proposer pocketed lis proposition, mu‘l 1t was not brought beforo tho mooting for voto. .

It was dificalt to ot nn expression of opinion as Lo the’ merita of any of TIE NATIONAL CANDIDATES, though it appeared to tho listonar as if tho names of Davis, Houdrioks, aud Tilden camo to tho front rather oftoncr than avy othets. In tho company It was difficult to get au opinion at olty but, whon approached in datall, tho ex- proasion of - tho mombers was & Littlo more oasy to como at. TLiout.-Goy, Glenv, whon naddreesed on the aubject of the outlook for tho Prosldoncy, could not, or would not, namo his favorite, and as equally noun-committal ns to tho probability of tho disposition of the party in Illinola. ~Iie re- arded Bayard, Tildon, Davis, and Ilendricks ag ho comiug men, and considered that oach had a fatr following in the Biate. Bettator Brown, Chairnian of tho Committeo, belleved it to bo too eatly in the campaign to moution any name as preforred for Prosidont, A8 for Governor, tho outlook was almost equall; vague, and nothing could yot bo proedicted with any cortainty, o names most froquently IAI?Inrd woro Willam Il DMorrison and Judgo on, Mr. B, L.

Memitt thought Lieuteuant-Governar Gloun aud Congrossman Morrison tho strong mon, Mr, J. 8.

Boyond these requisites, he hind now uo choico. As for the Governorsip, Mr, Drake appoared to linve noth- 1:15 to say. udgo Groon, of Oairo, thought shat one of the most prominont men for THE GOVERNORSIIP was Mr. Morrison, now {n Congress. If nomi- tated, it would bo on account of his popularity in bis own pasrt of tho Btate, sud from the fact that he wan of high personal cheracter, Otlior intorviows with members of tho Com- mitteo wora soarcely more deflnile in results. The general feeling may bo snmmed up by @8] ing that nearly ovety mombor wounld work for Mornson for Goveror if Gienu were notto como up, and would hiolp Glenn if it wore not for Morrison. Aas it is, they will keop their opiutons to thomselyus, and tho easieat way whioh thore- portor hoa to supgeat is for Morrisun to rofuse to run, aud thus leave Glehu an oasy raco,—barriug always those last-hour mon wiio come in taspoil tho slate in 8o many cases. Tue Dowmoczats of Lllnois, judged by their roprosontatives in the eity yoatorasy, are in » chinotio state of mind as to tha Presidentisl ean- didate. It appears, howover, ma if the portly Ruprome Judge called Davis could carry his Btato in the Uanventlon, provided thore wos o roasonablo provability that Lo hsd onough strength elsowhors to ronder thae support of his namo not altogathor Quixotic. That is, there 18 a strong foeling it Tus favor, which would grow stronger if it could bo shown that a similar movetnont was on foot in othor Blates, Barriug Davis, thero ie no doubt that the aurions curronds queetion would aplit the parly in 1llivole mnto Tilden and somethiug-olao wings, gbiedas sy THE CENTRAL CLUB.
