Il affords me great pleasure, Mcssis. Editors,
to assure YOU thai all is well in th, section Of
the State The Democrats were never in higher
spirits. nor more aware Of their duty and their
ability TO obtain signal victory. We believe,
that the States OF Massachusetts, Vermont, Con-
c'icni, Rhode Island, New jersey, Delaware,
and Kentucky, giving scarcely onc-fh oil the
whole electoral vote, vii! approach very nearly
MIR. Claws s'rcnsth on The day OF election. We
desire 4 pin 10 b. stuck Oh this prediction, that
our opponents may no. say after the election,
that we ourselves had 40 idea of doing what We
shall DO
We have assurances from Maryland, that the
Democratic candidate for Governor (CauoD
will be elected, and 10 :ilt dcHb; abJnt Georgia.
On Monday last (,eing Court dav) our talented
Representative in Congress, Judge Bayy, address
ed his constituents. and after rendering an ac-
count OF the few important votes he had been
called on 10 give in his hitherto short service,
presented at large his views upon The great sub
jet Of Texas and its annexation TO this country.
He showed IL Importance IN every aspect Of It's
magnitude. As 4 military bulwark, and Il market
for the productions OF the Wcslef.l, Middle and
Eastern States his exhibitions were ielicit0n- and
convincing. He exposed The designs OF Great Bri-
tain and showed the rain 20 our Cotton States H. bv
Il commercial treaty with that power, Texas should
supply her wants ot raw totoa. He closed his
address will: suitable reflections on the causes ot
gu;iaed, and with The expression of his fears that
the Golden opportunity, which had been pcrpcd
t. pass unimprovci, might never return. His
speech was more Than ab!c--iIwa> unanswerabe.
The Democrats here have I'm one opinion about
annexation. They were for it Immediately,
whilst lie seaty was pending in he Senate, ana
they are now for il atihc ccrittS' i7SHba bomeat,

our Union with Texas. bul they couple with their
opinions many as that they must be SCI down

could have been perfectly certain.

is with her and her friends every where. We
are not willing that She may fall into the arms
