Yesterday the mercury in The shade in this
city, al 3 T.. M, stood at S6 Fahrenheit, and,
you may suppose, the heat was suhocating.
In the evening we had smart thunder shower,
the wlnded shifted TO the northwest, and to-day
joicing among our men Of business, who have
more full and profitable employment than they
have had for many years
An attentive observer of the condition Of the
country for the last thirty years, IL is with no
common pleasure that | assure you, never dur
ing that period has it experienced such state
of sound and substantial prosperity as al the
present moment, and the prospects ahead never
were better.
Our city has been for some time crowded with
strangers 10 such extent as to render il diff
cult 10 procure lodgings; the numerous large ho-
tells and boarding houses fairly OVERLOOKING, max
ing up cots in their parlors and sitting rooms,
and coonizng their boarders in neighborng
apartments.
This congregation Of strangers from all parts
has afforded me an opportunity TO inquire into
the general stale of agriculture, manufactures
and trade in most of The States of the Union,
and there is but story told, there is but one
feeling existing, and that is a universal belief
that nothing is so much needed TO insure con-
tinuance Of prosperous times as to let legisa-
ton alone-leave things as they are. You
would be surprised to hear how almost every
man you see from abroad expresses himself of
that opinion. and how generally. the politicians

was very much struck with some ohserva-
tons of stranger on recent occasion.s The
politicians, said he,
care the bane of this country, they never give any
measures time to show their true effects. Every
measure is seized upon and converted into politics
with view, as they term It, to make political capital
Of it. Our great men cost the country more money
than would pay its whole expenses. Take said he,
the present tme all is going well possible
the policy of the present Administration is well set
tled-we all understand it, and no deny that
it is in accordance with true Democratic principles
Now, he continued am no Tyler man, Van Buren,
man, Calhoun man, Clay man, nor any mans man,
but am a Democrat and always have been one
am, however, not little disguised with what ! see
going on in attempts to get up excitement with a
view TO gull the People.
eff the politicians would keep quiet, the people
might then hope for some peace and continuance
of their present prosperity. | know how it is in
Oho-lhere we are for letting well done alone, and
have no manner Of doubt, it is so every where
throughout the Union. And why should it not be so
should like any man to tell me what use there is in
CONFUSING the country, from one end 10 the other
merely for the purposes of any all the politicians
Who ere in search OF nothing but place and powertc

There is so much truth in what this honest
Buckeye has so we'll said, that thought you
might like to publish it, and so have ncorpo-
rated il into this letter. Having spoken of po

on here among the friends Of Van Buren, and
Calhoun, who are at daggers points. Y gu vii
have seen that there have been several public
movements among the latter very recently, as
sembng in large numbers in the Park, passing
resolutions in favor Of the Palmetto candidate
&c. So yesterday afternoon some two or three
thousand dependents and hangers on of the cor
poralon, as the Calhoun men say called
meeting TO sustain Van Buren,, and a regula
row was the consequence. The resolutions
passed. III VIII be curlous TO see where all this
will end. Col Richard M. Johnson or Old Te

in few days, and, ii is said, committee is
about being organized 10 give him suitable re

in almost every ward, Of the friends of the Co

men of the Democracy, a great many think
with my Ohio friend, that il would be much bet

Wing rule, and God only Knows where we
should have been Men-and there are not a few

yet speak out; and, if they should, there is eve

risk all that he has suffered from reckless and
corrupt politicians by strangling the serpent, in
whose coils they had prepared TO envelope The
People. The Veto Of the Wing Bank of lSil
