DEAR SR,-
have seen nothing in your valuable Herald from
this city, In long time We have many fruitful
subjects here, that would interest the tens of thou
sand OF the readers of the Herald, if properly laid
before them Your paper is sought for with more
avdity, than any other after the arrival of the cas-
tern mail such the eagerness 10 read the Herald.
among the people here, that am very often disap-
pointed in procuring copy of Mr.. Moore, your
agent In this city, if | am unavoidaby detained
IRON calling for short time after he receives them
All the political parties except Captain Tyler's, in
this county, have made their nominations The
wings have nominated Thomas j Patterson, bro
ken-down merchant OF this city, for Congress sman
Doct. Alaltby Strong, OF Becnertown memory a
furious Clay wing, and an old New England iede-
rallst, was the principal opposing candidate In the
convention, tor the nomination. Very great dis
atistaction prevails In the county among the old
federdllsls, In consequence Of his defeat; / have
understood, that MIR. Patterson, has already CON-
menced writing out hi, speeches. Ii elected, he
Will be a powerful advocate IN Congress TOR Uni
ted States Bdnk-the assumption OF the State debts

anu produce u revenue 10 De QletrlDutcQ-aQd last,
though not least, he will be In favor OF the passage
OF general law by Congress to tax the old niaids
tor the support OF the old bachelo,s.
For the assembly, from the centre, the wings have
nominated itobert Haight, Esq, a lawyer. He Ia
young man, although believe he calls ,imselt an
old bacnelor. In politics, he is one OF ~ L. Tall
madges conservative friends, an unchanged demo-
Graf, and II elected, he will not make very great
effort 10 add many more TO the thousand and one
useless laws this Stale. The locoiocos have
nominated the Hon. Ashley Sampson, first Jud Ie Of
the Court OF Common Pleas OF this county, for Con-
gresham. and William Buell. for the Assembly from
the centre. As the locofocos gnd abotlonsIs, will
not probably succeed In elecng any of their candi-
dates in this county, think 1t unnecessary TO say
any thing about them
The Tyler men have had two meetings recently
in this city. The hrst called to sustain the
President in administering the general government
In his own way honestly, faithfully, and judlcious-
~. The second was called as an indignation meet
Ing, IN consequence Of the insult TO tile President
and Nation, at the Ashburton dinner in your city
Both meetings were well attended, and good resolu-
tons adopted. Considerable OF effort is about
being made here by several Individuals for the Of
fee OF Collector Of the Port of Genesee. Mr..
William A. Wll.es, man notorious for his abuse OF
President Tyler and his administration, until quite
recently, Is making great noise about his claims
the ofhce. he has once before made application for
the Collectorship, the election OF Gen. Harri-
son and John Tyler, and been defeated. He was
indignant at his defeat, that he abused President
Tyler by calling him all SORTS OF hard names, was
anxious TO have petition forwarded to the Presi-
dent requesting him to resign his office, and finally
turned abohtonist. Diet. Faulkner is making ap-
plIcatlon 10 the President tor the office The
Doctor, l should think, would be about the right
kind OF man for the President to appoint. The
Doctor is an old republican, supported the President
at the election In 1870, and has been his true and
active friend ever since. Ii the present Collector,
who is Clay wing, is removed, and the Doctor is
not cheated by those whomhe considers his friends
he will get the appointment. / would, however,
caution the Doctor, not to rely too much upon the
proiessed friendship OF the Postmaster of city,
who is, fear, playing double game with the Presl-
dent and with hun, tor the purpose OF retaining his
own Office. NIB.
