CoL Corbin is beloe you. Agreeing with you ON
all essential measures, he is known to possess hrm
ness and ability to carry out what he professes.-
Mr. Braxton is out-Col. Corbin's anti-type, MIR
Hunter also, in state OF betweenity. That you
cannot consistently support tir Hunter, 1t woald
hardly be necessary for me to enter into argument
TO prove. since Mt Richie has affirmed that gentle
man to have un-whigged himself Hear him
Speaking of MIR Hunters last Card, he says "rhere

Mr. Hunter, alone sufficient to open the ewes Of the

well that some gentlemen who supported his nomi-

MIR Hunter would sell his political principles for the
support OF the Wings, he is more corrupt thGn had
supposed him. This justification Of his support in
Convention, is, indeed, quite complimentary to Mr.
Hunter, and no doubt he will properly appreciate

the veil which then surrounded him and now |
have still stronger reason for my opposition. The
veil has been Withdrawn by the master spirit, and
he stands revealed, as he is, Loco Foco with the
corruptons of Martin Van Buren's Administration
stamped upon his forehead. Did any Wing ever
hear MIR Hunter say aught against the corruptions
OF the late Administration, so much complained OF

Wing who Is disposed to support Mr. Hunters pre-
tensions, what he would think of an individual who
employed an agent to perform certain duties, and
had that agent bound hand and foot, so that he
could not execute the duties1 Are not the Wings
who support Mr. Hunter, thwarting the President
IN the execution Of the trust which they have con

cannot make the laws of the land-he can only re.
commend such as are necessary and proper. IL a

he is literally tied.
Although It certainly is more consistent in the
Loco Focos to support MIR Hunter than for the
Wings TO DO so, cannot for the life Of me- see why
they should do so, since II is clearly ascerAned that
the contest will he between Corbin and Braxton.-
IL will be reco,lected that MIR Hunter was first sent
to Congress by the Wing party. He deceived them,
