TUESDAY, Aucist6.
Last evening rode over tc Greenfield, town
between Corinth and Saratoga Springs, contain
ing about 900 voters, almost exclusively agrcu-
tura, and generally giving small Whig major
ity, though rather torpid for two or three years
past A few hours notice had served to collect
about one hundred and fifty good men in the
upper room of an inn, where l was listened 10
with admirable gravity and quiet attention for
about an hour and half. l took occasion TO
display the hypocrisy and deceit of the Loco
Foco leaders and the doings of their Presidential
Convention, with all the "plsinness OF speech"
Of which | wcs capable, and laid on the lash un-
sparingly. | was not q little amused this morn
;ng 10 learn that several Loco FOcos who weIe
present, had expressed themselves much instruct
ed and edited by my statements, and had joined
with the Wings in declarations Of satisfaction al
these revelations.
The people here are now in the midst of the
heaviest labors Of The year, (hay .making,) and
had not expected to be called out until some time
later but on the first summons they have come
forth nobly, and have avowcd determination TO
begin the great work nom, and to emulate the
example OF their brethren IN The West, beyond
the bridge" Every where, | find that there is
nothing which so etiectually arouses the dor.
mant energy Of the party as my variations Of
what have seen of the prompt and early &C.
| monstratlons OF the true spirit in other parts of
the State especially among the heroic Wings Of
Oneida, Ontario, Monroe, Livingston, Alegany
and Steuben. To ego and do likewise without
delay, to redeem every implied pledge and meet
every expectation of their fellow Wings In other
sections, is the first movement of every one of
the victors of lS40. Put Saratoga down sure
for 800 Wing majority. That is the lowest esti-
mate which has been given to me by the least
enthusiastic men. Others claim 400 and 500.
believe the highest estimate to be nearest the
truth and my opportunities Of observation are
inferior TO those of but few.
have Just come from glorious Wh;s
ing at Saratoga Springs, in beautiful pine-
grove Just cast of the Congress Spring, where
the splendid political assemblies of 1910 were
held. We went to the meeting in heavy
shower; and | was astonIshed on arriving at the
place Of assembly to fud 1t already occupied by
nearly 1900 persons, among whom were several
hundred ladies'. The meeting had been got up
at very short notice, without parade or formal
preparation but neither this circumstance nor
the weather could prevent the gathering OF mul
iitude-many from the neighboring towns.
j. N. STEELE OF Baltimore first addressed the
meeting with an effective review of the general
positions of the two parties but the great attrac-
ton of the day was FRANCIS GRANGER, who next
came forward with noble speech on the enor-
mites of Loco Focosm now arrayed against
The honor and interests Of the Country, and
against the cause OF Liberty, on the questions OF
The Tariff and Texas. Ii was powerful through
out, and in many passages surprisingly eloquent.
Its effect was manifest III the frequent, prolonged
enthusiastic responses Of the audience, who en-.
jpyed it exceedingly.
They dispersed IN very heavy rain, at the close
of Mr. Grangcrs speech, about six O'Clock 2. NJ.
Mr. Granger is now in the field, and will de-
vote nearly his whole time 10 the cause OF the
party I'll! the fith OF November wherever he may
be wanted. With such examples as are furnish
ed BY him and Fillmore and Collier, who that
has word to say for the cause of Liberty ano
Protection, will withhold it, in this crisis of the
Nations destiny
Tomorrow go to the borders of Saratoga and
Warren, on my way to the great gathering a,
fiadlcy, on Thursday. l find every Town wide
awake in preparations for it, with banners, en-
bems, &c. and on Friday hope to give you
good account of it. ]. B. n.
