Dear Sir--In your paper of last evening, in closing some remarks you thought proper to make on the election, you say "John B. Hogan, late Col ect0r of this port, of the earliest victims of President Tyler's prescription. He has appealed the people of the community in which he lived, and it Is particularly gratifying to him and his friends that they have pronounced verdict in his favor, and against Executive prescription for opinions sake" It certainly IS gratifying to me to know that retain the good opinion of my fellow citizens but it but justice to my respected whg friends who voted for to say, that my election far was concerned not placed any such issue. At the earnest solicitations of many valued friends, l consented to becpne candidate ten days before the electon-Iny politics were well known, but many whig friends ted for me because they believed that could render more service in the next legislature than some of those whose the whig ticket, and candid enough to acknowledge, that without their votes would not have been elected. This is sheer act of justice to my personal friends, and will ask place for this note in your next paper.
 With sentiments of great respect,
 Iremain your friend,
 JNO. B. HOGAN.
 NoTE BY THE EDIToR.-This is certainly very candid in Col. Hogan and far as his whig friends concerned, just; but in justice the democratic party, we cannot permit it to pass without mark or two. It is undoubtedly true that Col H.. received number of good whigs votes-the votes of men ofthat party who were displeased with the man in which the whg party has been bted and spurred for time past But, at the time is perfectly true, that Colonel Hogans prescription secured him many democratic votes, which he otherwise would not have obtained. It ,s also true, that the whig candidates received quite has many democratic votes Con accuunt of the mistaken policy of leaving blank tcket,) as Colonel Hogan or any other de. mocrat did whig votes.-Every body knows that there was general splitting of tickets, and we call upon Col. ERWIN to return thanks for the 100 l5O.democratic votes boiled with for him in the vacancy the democratic ticket. We call upon Mir R. c. McALPIN to make the same acknowledgement for some 50 democratic votes given, and without which we believe lie would have been beateu-and even Mir. PRINcE, to our knowledge, received a number of loco loco votes in the way, although not enough to carry him in Now, look at Blanton McAlpin: Did he get any more whg votes than he lost democratic votesl Yet he was elected. On the whole therefore, there is nothing to detract from the moral effect of the demo- cratic victofy-nothing to weaken their claim to merit for the perseverance, trueheartedness and arr uof, Wiut WHiCn tnty Wtht tHc CoIteht DIX weeks ago, the democrats debated the propriety of running ticket at all. From the day that the party took the field, it gained strengh-gained it from the whig ranks, many of whom dissatisfied with the fruits of whg victory and promises in the nation at large, and the use and abuse of whig power in our own particular county They gained it from the re- suits of the session of congress, where events are of daily occurrence to add force to this new revolution in parties. The democratic portion and particularly the southern portion of the whig party, are being forced back upon the great Republican party by the violent, unconstitutional and ultra fede- ral measures of the dominant Clay faction of that party The democratic cause in this county will grow every day, and we do not expect ever to see the wlag influence it has been known and exerted heretofore, in the ascendancy in Mobile county There are hundreds whose hearts are with and are only prevented from openly joining us by the pride of consistency.
