GAINESVILLE, y. T., July -.
Tim Democratic party is gaining strength fast. Inc
bumbue Of log cabin and hard cider is operating well
for the Democracy of this State. ] think If we could
have Siias Wright for our candidate for Governor, MIR.
Seward would have TO hide himself behind the log
cabin. Be that as it may, | think Mr.. Van Buren,
must have the vote of this State.

ErtractJrom a letter, dated so
Dear Sir: Our Democracy have had a glorious day.
In anticipation Of the arrival of the Vice President, Sc
nator Allen, the Hon. Mr.. Medill Of Ohio, and the Hon.
MIR. Brown of Mississippi, the spacious hall Of the new
college edifce was prepared for the purpose Of afiording
the people an opportunity of hearing addresses by those
gentlemen upon the all-ahsorbing topics
which now engross public attention. Expectation was
on tiptoe, and never was it more completely gratnicd.
For hours the dense crowd, many of them standing, lis
tened with rapture 10 the captivating eloquence OF those
gifted men. Col. Johnson spoke more than one hour
and a half, and was greeted with frequent aud enthnsi-
astic plaudits. This veteran, Mr real Hcro Of Mc
Thames, leads captive every heart, and 1t would, All
sure, have made your bound with delight 10 hear Inn
speak TO use his own language of our modd of . Pre-.
sident, whom he said, he has known thirty yeas, and
the longer he knows him, the more thorough ~ ms con-
fdence in him, and the more he iorsS him. The frcsI-
dent is a mild man, said he, but he is US .Grm as the
mountains which separate him from us.
You are too well acquainted with The character oil
Col. Aliens eloquence for it 10 be necessary tosay that
he was listened TO for two hours and a hall, with the
most intense interest, and that he elected repeated
shouts Of applause. Gen. Brown and Col. Medil,
though brief created a thrill of admiration and frequent
cheering throughout the assembled multitude. Taking
it all in all, we have had a treat such as W have never
before enjoyed, and which will leave 4 lasting impress
sion, the influence of which will be- powerfully felt III
the ballot - tOJf.
KAxawmA {. H., Va, 10Th July.
We are daily increasing in strength, and becoming
more and more confident of our success. The Wings
begin TO look a little downcast, and show evident signs
that they believe i reaction has taken place III our ia
vor. Such is a fact. The log cabin and hard cider
humbug is no longer an argument with them, and they
are at a loss to find out another hnmbng TO deceive the
people with.
We shall carry our State, TO a certainty; and mark it
now for a fact, that the extreme western counties wall
give Mr.. Van Buren, a large majority, notwithstanding
the large number of manufactured votes the Whigs have
made IN one or two of these counties.

Little Perry is good for from FIVE to seven hundred

Our friends are in fine spirits, and are firm and united.
The Democracy OF Illinois will v%anquish the minions

TUSCALOOSA, Ala, l1ih July.
The prospect Of the Democratic cause is fast gain
ing ground IN Alabama; from every county we hear
encouraging news. There can be no doubt of Mr.. Van
Buren, getting tins State by from seven TO ten Thousand
majority, the boasting and loud huzzas of the Wings
notwithstanding. Your Extra Globe is doing tremen-
dous work for the just and good cause of Democracy
In the town Of TuscumbIa, Tin what we call North Ala
