THE GOVERNORSHIP. A CANVASS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, Delow will be found reports, which we copy from tho Quincy IFhig, from nearly every county in tho State, mado after caroful canvass, and comprising tho latost roliablo, comprebonsiva proscotation of tho popular sentiment with ref. eronce to gubernatorial candidates on both ides, So faras tho Democrats are concorned, ibeppeara that thoy are sadly toro up {n mind, ‘Dut are sire, ag of old, to vote for tho nominco, nomattor who he may bo, Among tho local Rosublican politicians supposed to ran tho ma- chine, a deal of labor has boon oxpended in gotting up things for Bovoridgo's womination, Cullom’s strength, however, appoars to be quite oqual to that of Bevorldgo, and whatevor may bothat of oithor manifestly it is due not to , soy onthusinsm for oither, but to assiduous oloctionccring, in Beveridge'a caso alded by no ond of small wiro-pulling. Wherevor tho popn- Ist fooliug among tho Ropublican votera is soundod, thoro is but ono response, ood that in .onthuslastio declaration for Wash- burno. “From Cairo report is made to the offoct that Cullom, ovoridgo, snd Ridgway all bavo thoir forcea nt work, with tho result doubtfal, but that Washburoo would bo hoartily supported in Bouthorn Tlinois. In Ma- coupin tho Republicans aro for Waehburno os thoir first choice; in Clinton County thoy aro for him in praforonce to anybody else, and {t is conceded no other candidate could poll so largo avote, In Washington County it is openly con- cedod thet Bavoridge would be o dead woiglit to tho ticket, which ho would injuro, and that tho German voto would bo cast against him, whilo Washburae would command euthusinstic aup- port, snd would recofve tho full German vote and add immensoly to tho etrongth of tho entire ticket with the people. Sholby County reports that ho would be a very accoptablo and strong candidat, while, as botwacn Beveridge and Cullom, thore appears to bo but languid inter- oat, Tho Republicane of, Coles County plodge Washburne a hearty suppétt ; iv Vermilion ho ia very popular; in Menard hig nomination would bo universally acceptable. Piko will cheorfully support nim, though putting forward Milton Hay, ‘an old Pike-Connty man,” ag thoir candi- dato. It 1g sdmitted that in Jorsoy County “many Ropublicans would scratch Bovoridgo,” From Kankakeo and Gruody Countios, it Is reported Washburno’s nomination wonld bo woll ‘received, whilo in Jo Davioas and Burenu Countiss bis candidacy would be Lailod with satisfaction, and in the former nobody olso is talked of for Governor. Ho could carry Carrot! County by 1,600 majority It is estimated, and by at loast 600 more for tho Prosidongy ; is the first choice of tho Republic- ang of Stophonson, and would swoop Ogle Coun- tyagainat anybody. The machino is not work- ing for him, but mantfoetly thero Is a growing sense among the people that it is about timo tho nomination should not again bo ground ont by tho machino, and that a man of brains and char- xctor and above potty politics is required for Govornor of Iiinols.
