To my old ftie"d EIr. Dwight, oG the New-YOrk Daily
 Advertiser.

Sccin thai vou IaiMt hearm from for \ com siderable long spell, suppOse you begun to think had gone la Araby, where the gineral threatened tO 2" when the people began to send petitions |" him last Wnier-but my good old friend, ever s'"ce ! rlt to you 'y last letter, haini had time to d" %"inn in Ihal way aud this is ahnut the cause "n. When l you las, was busy getiiM my boots to"'e
 and greasd, and all things mended and slick "P aHd intended to go to SaraoSWe and MI about them aF.s to keep an eye on the mext CToUerRment;" hat coMn iU look about me here, fruMd alt the folks GI the Government and the Government itself all Oh aud criuer left here 10 keep th'"gs ag"'n oei me and Mir. Forsyth the Secreiary OI State, and as have great kim for Mr. FOIsytlI, and seem that he rather tn the business, thought would stay and lend him hand, and wal, here W el'h+r iheP'~- sent GODernnlent the Nert GOUPTHmem g9i oacK a- gin. Wel haln', been long Ht il atore began ID feel rather wamhechopp'd; aud one tlay Mr. F"syiI says the, Major, says he, whats the matter; we" says Governor, don't kuOw exactly, but beSn 'n 1 feel considerable etreaked: well says he, reckon know what's the muiier, and he come on with long word that frightened me almost to pieces had heatn a good deal said about the old TOrys 0l 70, ann Me new Torys of '34, aud my Gther and grantfa,her had bat,led agin the old ones didn't somehow lear l mach about the new ones, aud ! knew 1here was a good many kind of FSrys; thefe wac tue gfsseas Gorernuenl Torys, and the nert Gorer"aen Tories, and the tape and lwine IOrys and the sate'y imnd Dollar bill Yorys: and here was another kind "s To- rvs hadn't thought on betore and Governor F"rsy." said there warn't doubt they then had hold o" me, and them was the Premoni- IOrys. As soon as the word was out of his mouth l sprung round Ike ai, possest says Governor. do y"" think Is ray so
 
 talk for if that is there is no time to lose says l
 for long as there any ailn about Major Downing
 that has got any kind of Tory abou. t, tt IS time for folks io look out. Well, says he, MaJor h you hke another name beer says he, I'll give 1t to you, and says he you've got the ko!aree Do iei' says H. II that's all I'lI fix that; and why d'dnt you say so at first instead of ,elin boddy about that other plagy aIin 2 and with that went to work right off putin things to rights. The first go off took 'eeae less New England in my swtchelI; but that d,dnt d" much good; then ag" l took double dose put s'a. nI. ,b; Vvn ike OOrn water down one hack cold, frosty mornin; felt pia' gy good whilst you at it, but tn m'n't arier 'i was worse and worse; at last stoPd a N'na O. n"'i flicker, and arter little spell felt pri,iy ch"rck.
 stuck this plan a few days and kept cool ana good naturd and nothin but good sou food, and dra"k no,hin but clear cold water, and above att Kept up pluck and trusted Providence for the rest: and ID less than week there warnt m''e oi no k'nd O! premoni-torys, nor any kind oI tory aboul me, ana
 was sound as gra""'t. But "an a pteUy sum time ont tell you, for accordin to the na"r ot all these kind of ailina that has got any tory about cm
 you don't stop they go on aud g" "n ut ioKs go into what the Doctors call the cofaps. aud ,nen yon turn as blue as indigo bag, and then Namhre and | Laudnum and burnt Brandy and k,a" Pepper ana Mustard and hard rubbin ainl no kind o use-rs a'l | over then. . ,
 1 talks about it. and when was busy ban ag'n them plagy premo Orys he used call and see me, and vvo0ld talk matters with him. One day, says l. Governor, did you have a notion that there IS pIagy strong between the nai0r of man and the natur of nation Well, says he, Major don' know exactly that there aint, and 'hen as'" thnk there aini none al Very wel says l, don't commit yourself but I've got a notion says that there IS
 pagy strong likeness. Now says look at He 'ook that leg and that are arm, and th,s nan' ana see this breast, says land gave wack OF u whn my hand like a sedge hammer on an anv'i J now says l, ant ,ha. all together pr'y considerable pat tern of man is there any kind ot rot about tha', says IT nohn says he that know on,. cxcspl th" plagy premonory well says l, that ant no'in yei' and scarcely feel yes says he but yo" don't put stop 10 it, Major, will reckon lead 10 'r"hle pre
 ~ soon we'll says ihat's true enui, G"vernor ana know as far as experience goes many as stout "nd strong a chap as now OM Thursday, amt Deen worth the labor ofberryin him Saturday. Wow says that's the naiur of man and now let !s look "t me na,ur or a naon and instead of gon all about crea- ton let us look home-here is pattern oi nation worth ioOkim and there ant nothin !m any part 0 creation thai can hold candle tO it. Twelve m-
 ion oi folks all strung together by constitution and set of aws made by themselves for their own security and happiness-and every thing so accurately ba""c
 ed and check d that nothing but wtulness can throw i, out of gearing But says like me, has got some ailin now about t-there IS premon"o'ys, says M work upon it a sar,N,y, aud there must DC sop put to e or things will took blue enough pre,y soon' and nothing will from collapse, the" a''s over with Us and we shani be bit better o than some oi | the Porugees and Spanish nations in south America
 There an' says no ma" M .sGg gsrai ~ap ,So"s%, S ne ! could afore he got 10 he the Government b1t some
 how it turns u,her way; and believe all comes
 from the Gneral lisienn 10 the Kind o' IoiEs who ke themselyes better than they do him or the country and turning away from him his best irIens and the
 best friends of the country. The worst ont H says ,he Gimeral thinks that every who has different opinion of his neasuree, moi only hs enemy put he enemy of his country. When the Gi"erat writ that Ieuer to Mr. Munro, and eli'f him to be President ol the country, and not of Pary' every sS"na Pa'ro' bers of Congress hadnt ought to be appointed 10 o!- | fee under the Government every body sad tbat pretty sound d0cirHe and when he salu hat me pat rOnage of the Government hadn't ought to come lnto conflict with the purity of elections, every body sad that's raie sound doctrme. He said good many more sound things but these are enough tO talk about how
 Weli now every who aint of the GiDerass party,
 is considered scamp, aWd not to be irusedihai Hsnt s0Httd practice, for have notion there are good many folks as pure aud patriotic as ever lived who aint of the GineraPs party. Then agin tie GneraI has ar- pnied more members of Congress than you can shake a stick but hO' that ant acc0rdm t0 h's promise, vet dont complain ont, for it's hard for any class ot
 men to be cut Of from servn the country It they are
 fit for il-so that bad promise better broke t"n kepI. But what lifts my dander is about the G0Vern-
 meat officers mixim in elections for right n the face and eyes of what the Gneral said, there amt no sicl active olks at the polls the folks who have got oi
 fee. Nov, says !, there is the head man Of the hull
 on em--,he nrrt GOpernment himsel-whaa IS he a. bout, says Ii suppose, says he was so afraid iha the .. patronage Ui the Government would come n conflict with ihe purity of elections '-'hat nothing
 would do but he must go and look himself aEd
 that all went right. Well, Major, says Mir. Forsyth
 that is nO doubt true eMUugh for there ant man sa 1 particular about these matters as Mr. Van Buren, Welt says l, that makes me think Of oid Jetlro Glea
 son, the miller, and hs two sons-every tune me hy
 busy baggin up gris 10 il'e customers old Je- ihrO was sure come in, and says he, Elihu hanl
 you taken the toll "Ui2 Yes sir, says Flint" LOOK
 out; and then he'd go the other boy, and says ne Elam have you taken the toll out? Dyes, daddy,
 look to that always mysell-you young rascais say
