DrAs SIs The sblo letter Of Postmaster General
wiexIurE, which appeared In your daily paper Of
last Friday is received with the greatest satisfaction
by the numerous friends Of that gentleman and the
democrat, generally, in this city Although it had
been well understood that that distinguished divid-
usl cherished friendly feelings towards MIR. Gay,
and decidedly opposed to his election, still, far
any public develope mens we're concerned, could
be positively asserted by his friends that his pow
erful influence would be enlisted IN the success Of
Polk and Dallas. There is now no longer any ex-
cuso for the slightest hesitation, when the question is
asked, "Will Gov. week.-mrs. give hearty sup
port to the Democratic nomineesf"
There never was time when Wing stock depre-
ciaed SO rapidly as at the present moment. Every
thing seems to be working wrong for that party.
whilst every day brings with it a decided improve
ment in the prospects Of the Democracy. The long
talked of and long 10 be remembered Wing Conven-
ton held here the 18th instant, rather stands at
tho head of the reverses and disappointmenls which
that party have experienced since they brought out
Mr.. Clay for the present campaign So far as mere
numbers we're concerned il not failure, but IN
every other respect may, in truth, be set down
decided failure. II was even worse than that; for,
instead of making proselytes to The Wing cause,
which was Of course leading object of this great
show of horses, dead and live coons, Sc, actually
believe that ii will cost them hundreds of votes, to
say nothing of the neutralizing effects upon many Of
their friends, who might have labored on until the
day of the election had it not been for the most con-
vincng proof which this occasion furnished that they
were working for "dead horse" The entire alb
sence of any thing like the enthusiasm that devoted
patriotism and honest will inspire, was the
distinguishing feature of this Wing gathering. 1t
doubtless is the policy Of their presses according to
their system of party tactics to pretend to have been
entirely satisfied with this Convention; but such is
not the real feeling OF those among the Wings who
pretend to read these popular demonstrations cor
rectly 1t was from beginning 10 end, emphatically
an uphill business. The speeches were tame, and
II cheers faint and not at all contagious. None OF
the issues Of 1910 were revived by the speakers
probably because Of the existing disagreement among
them as to what were the true in that or
able campaign.
Not SO with the informal and spontaneous gathering
of the Democratic forces the evening of the 18Th.
AT the shortest possible notice, they rallied by thous
ands and in all that they said and did there was de-
gree Of earnestness unanmity and enthusiasm which
only be awakened by homes, defence OF an hon
est cause. Some ofthe candid Wings in this city
have acknowledged that there was more genuine en-
thusiasm exhibited during the Two or three hours
which this body Of Democrats spent in State street
than was witnessed on the part Of the Wings from
the beginning to the end Of their boasled Convention
on Boston Common, Notwithstanding they bad pro-
cured the services of Of the master spirits of that
party from every section of the Union to aid them in
getting up the steam on this occasion.
You have idea of the change which the feelings
of the Democrats Of New England have undergone
towards President Tyler, since his withdrawal from
the list of Presidential candidates. They are jus,
beginning, it were to appreciate truly the man,
| and the services he has rendered the Republican
cause. They already see and acknowledge that he
forget him, and they would if they could The Pre-
sidens reception, when he last visited Boston,,
believe, highly satisfactory but should he come to
this part of New England again, should witness
degree of enthusiasm such seldom attends the
movements Of public functionares.
| They tell a very good thing Of the gentleman
and popular Postmaster of this city, N. Greene Esq
One of the leading Wings few days since addressed
Mr.. G. something as follows ''Greene, don't Sc,
how so likely man you, rsspeo, John Tyler
As for myself absolutely hate him." "Sir," repec
Mr.. Greene, CHATS the best reason 10 the world why
should like him."
