Gentemen-l perceive from remarks in
your paper that you consider this district suspended
by the Baxtonians and Huntereans. | have there

the candidates in this county, (Carone,l and be-
lieve in the district. | care not what may be the
speculations of fec Huntereans. Marx this pre-
diciion AS certainly as the day OF election sha
come so certainly will usTy large majority of the
Loco Foco party vote for Braxton. With equal
certainty will vsry large majority Of the Wings
vote for their proper and legitimate candidate, Cor
bin. Should Hunter accept the nomination Of a
Jrdgmeat OF each party, (Which cannot believe,)
after having formally withdrawn from the canvass,
the result will not be materially affected. Ii will
still be Corbn and BraXton. Ii must be obvious TO
all impartial and oDservant men, that parties arc
last settling down upon their respective candidates
and II there he three in the field, this circumstance
alone will produce animated and exciting can
vass, which will increase the election approaches
and terminate in division of parties-such as
Wing and Loco Foco or more properly, 7dninis-
tratiOn aud .9nti-.4dmiaistrniion men. There are
many who are not disposed 10 prejudge the present
Administration, but who will go TO the polls and
vote by force of party feeling. Already many Of the
Anti Administration men who declared for Hunter
have changed, and are now for Braxton. So, too,
have many Of the Wings who went into the Joint
meeting at this place under excited feelings aban-
doned Hunter and returned TO their proper and le-
climate candidate, Corbin. But ask enphafieaLlu
can any true Wing in the district support Hunter
a peTy decided majority OF the Wing party through
their Convention, nominated Corbin, a good and
true Wing, who on this, on every other occasion
promptly responded TO the call, and accepted the
nomination. This is Characteristic of the man.

moderate and modest, he is yet irm, faithful and
