"FlRE. IN THE MoUNTAINsp

We select from the numerous letters daily
received, the following extract Of one from a
backwoods man of the interior Of old Ken
lucky. The author apologises for the APP
pearance of his letter, and declares /" unfit to
send" as the sheet was, il was the best his
cabin afforded, and he "went TO store and
could get none that was better"
The IIuoE Paws" Of the farmers will
make bluff sport Of the aristocraic federallsts
in power.

the chiyalrous Wsr, that burning Of vmginian
eloquence: UNION for the sake of the JNION,'
and rallied under and adherpg such motto in such
glorious cause, and led to the charge by such man
Harrison and Tyler, we will go forth conquer
ing and conquer In my humble op nion, the only
hope Of the part Of opponents, is in our
divisions and intestine feuds; remove this and they
parayzed; for with what event Of Importance either
in our civil military history is the Of our pres
ent Chief Magistrate identified Not one. What
magic word will they employ to call their forces to the
onset--Glory and N. o. no, ,ha, has lost It's charm
The Bank hobby no, that has lost its wind. The Ell

racy (hc Of Chapel Hi.) Plsh hutnbug cries the
people; re,renchnent. Oh breathe not its name

pie have learned by sad experience, that ii
have not wings, they have, at least legs, with

New York. whose name has become familiar to ev-

an inflated and pampcred ars,ocracy and this, too,
under ha, sacred (no, once sacred, bu, ,ramped
