Folks popularity compared with Mr.. CLAWS. If
the Wings are, there is a happy unanimity among
us on one point, although We take such opposite
ways OF testytying it,"

OF a letter from Wing a, Boston, which contains

subject that is now beginning to excite much a.
,enlon in our city. ! alnde 10 Tie election re-
turns of President Of the United States. From
the returns which we have already received, it
seems To that candidate, Clay, cannot be
elected, unless South Carolina casts her clccto-
raj K for him. | am sure that represent The
Wing feeling, when say, that The Wings as
| party infinitely prefer for President, a statesman
like your John c. Calhoun, 10 a miserable tool
likeJ. X. Polk. As party, We hate the Aholi
tionsts and would bc more happy 10 punish them
| by having Calhoun for President. J. then, ask Of
You 10 use your political influence and prevail
upon your friends TO cast their electoral vote for
John G. CalEoun-This will bring the choice Of
! Presiden, TO the House Of Representatives, and
then Calhoun could be alI-powerfu Do no.:
BEG Of you, consider this as an idle whm IL is
very possible result South Carolina has rot
pledged hersclfto vote for Polk, and is, therefore,
At liberty 10 vote for Calhoun. | am convinced,
that il lie name Of Calhoun is brought to the
| House of Representatives the Wings will unite
with the friends Of Calhoun, and We shall have
| Tor President one ofwhom America will never
be ashamed

Wings 10 defeat the popular will might be seen.
| II was written on The llih November when il
seemed probable, according 10 the Wing cacula-
! tons al Boston, that South Carolina would con-
troll the general result. Hence the appeal is made
10 her. But when il turned ont that New York
/ controlled the election, then we hear OF The idea
! thu; New Yor,, will vote for Wright, and throw
The election into The House OF Representatives
To defeat the election of a man chosen by the
voice Of his cnuDtTymen is the great purpose
Wessk our friend, 10 treasure up these things

rac;er OF modern Rhigism must be portrayed"
The Republicans Of Alabama have invited
MIR. Polk 10 visit their Stale. Ii is said, be has
declined The invitation, In consequence Of hi. en-
gasemerts. The Democrats of New Orlean.
