LOG CABINS AND HARD CIDER.

We have been told repeatedly by members
of the Van Buren, party in this place, that the
Log Cabin and Hard Cider hurrahs, as they see
fit TO term Wing Meetings, would cause a
great reaction in favor Of the Van Buren, party.
That they personally knew many who were
determined TO vote the Van Buren, ticket this
year that had uniformly voted with the Wing
party. Next week will decide this matter, and
we shall then know, hop many Wings have
been Disguised aud lefi the party. IL it is so
disgusting to any Wing to be reminded Of the
hardships which our forefathers endured on
our account, by the exhibition Of Log Cabins
and the like, we care not how many leave
the party. Time will tell how freemen view
these things. We are willing TO abide the
result.

From the North.

For the encouragement Of our Wing friends
in this part of The Stale, we are happy TO state
that the utmost activity prevails in the Wing
party a, the north. We have the assurance that
great caangelin favor Of the Wbig party has
already manifested itself. Many have come out
openly and rcnounced Van Buren, and his meas
ures, and there is no doubt the Wing ticket will
be carried by an increased. majority in the
nothern counties.
