FOR THE ENQUIRER,

Will my Republican fellow citizens OF Mr. Hunter
district allow one Of another district, TO express his re.
gret that any opposition will be made to the reelection
Of Mr. H. by Republicans: lie agrees with US on all
the treat questions which distinguish Republicans irou
FEDERAL Wings 1t is true he did not vote with us for
MIR. Van Buren,; but, it is equally true, that he aronld
not vote for the candidate of the Federaists and Abo
l;t;on;ss. Should you nominate another Republican,
the Federalis,s will bring out, what they CALL "true
Wbin: and the consequence will be his election. We
have nothing TO gain in principle and we may lose
much by bringing out opposition to Hunter am no
no rsoual friend of Mr. Huner-have not the pleasure
Of his acquaintance. You need not he assured that
am no ",rue Whig,' any other sort of Wing but
what the Fedcrals,s with the same mendacous I'M
audience that always characterised their pariy,) are
ppl...ed IN rail- n genuine I.OCOFOCO.

week, and where he was received with distinguished
honors, the President Elect dincd and was toasted

the narrative Of the Journalist runs as follows:
The then and after the General had received
the congratulations of hevy of ladies' who were

Extract of letter from distinguished prginian no~
IN Missouri.


IN Missouri
al have seen and read with great disgust the remarks
of H. Clay his resolution 10 repeal the SubTreasury
il is the climax Of nsoence.-lhis movement united
with that of that British Agent, Webster, touching
kindred subject, is too strongly indicative the policy
which is to be played of by these truly disaercs'ed
potriots, upon too confding people, 10 be mistaken
They are endeavourng preach up plausible pretext
Tariff before they can be "Patsicd' by instrueting
what we have TO expect from the unhallowed comb'-
nation, which has placed this Abolition Federal, wing
party in the ascendant and should admonis US at once
10 call our forces arms and make ready tor the con-
lest The Nation has decreed measure OF Finance,
its constituted authorities attest its successful operations
and in the face of these facts, its repeal IS nsoenty
asked for and by him who dared not throughout the
whole contest to openly single principle tor
which he was contendIng 10 make room Tor measure,
which has been the apple Of dscord ever since the onn-
daton of this Government and the existence OF which
has been pronounced BY of the best and wisest
atrots of the country TO be incompatible with the eS-
isence of liberty itself had almost as lief see the
dissolution of this Union as the establishment OF Ma
tional Bank.
.lf we give back now in the New York Controversy,
i, a cause so righteous had as well tack Virginia
as colony to New York, receive and obey such laws
as she NAV think fit to impose. The old flamlltonan
funding system and the National Bank have already
pivcn her our carrying trade and taken large portion
Of our other property to contribute TO her aggrandzc-
ment: and if We now yield up our slave property, we
have but little else worth living for, to exercise our
SOVEREIGN power about
