FROM MAJOR DOWNING.
From the Neac York Express.

We present our readers with the
"2nd Gun" Of Major Downing's Address
and they who have ears to hear, let them
hear We commend it with all satlsiac-
ttuus arrJ- CONFERENCE.-The are happy to
see that his next promises 10 contain the
plan Of floating the Two Polies."
We would respectfully call the atten-
ton to the operations Of Spanish Demo
cracy, and ask if the tendency OF late IN
our own country is not too similar? Cap
tain Jumpers Letter, too, shows the effect
OF the popular influence of the Hermitage
Letters. We doubt not, the editor OF the
Saco Gazette approves the one, as the
Globe does the other
No 2.
