JACKSON, August. :. leii
Allow Inc to congratulate you on the result OF
the Louisiana election. Was there ever gotten
Up IN the worlds history such another magnif.
cent failure as has attended the Texas humbug 2
Why it ought, in order to have fully met the
views of its originators, TO have swept louisa
ma like whirwiud You have no idea OF the
effect the late election in Louisiana has had in
producing an increase Of longitude in the faces
of our Loco. Foco brethren hcrcabout. They are
getting alarmed with regard TO this State-dnd
nell may they be! have always believed that
proper exertion on the part of the Wings would
carry the State, but confess that began to be
nervous on the subject when observed the mac
tlvlty of our Electors-an activity which could
neither be STYLED "wise" nor " mastery" But
we are all wide awake now! Our Electors have
taken the stump, and their blows are telling won-
derfully. And rest assured if we lose the State,
it will not be lost from the want of the stoutcst
sort of fight for it.
In this part of the State, every Wing heart is
on fire. Ia Jackson, in spite Of its name, the
Wings have large majority, and no where is the
party better organized. When tell you that as
far as my acquaintance extends the Wings have
not lost a vote, but OH the contrary have gained
several, yeu may form an idea of the extent to
which the Texas matter has injured US. We
have Clay Club. an elegantly equipped new COM
pany called the Clay Guards" and Glee
Club who sing at every Wing meeting. The
Ladies here, as indeed almost every where else,
are Wings, and smiles of approval never sesmed
forth from brighter and more beautiful faces than
those which cluster like stars to iumne every
Wing gathering.
There was a man in town day before ycster-
day from one Of the Eastern Counties where the
Locos have for long time had every thing their
own way, and he SAID that although his people
won't consent to be taxed, yet they are all be-
ginning to believe that it would be best to vote
for CLAY. Exactly as l had anticipated, you
see.
am going on the 18th to a great Mass Meet
ing, which the patriotic Wings of Madison
County are going to give. a County by the
way which, when we consider the manner IN
which cotton and Wing principles src cultivated,
may well be deemed the garden spot of the State.
III write you full! account.
Our Northern Wing brethren may be assured
that the Southern Wigs are not going to shrk
the Tariff question. There is not Wing ord
or Or Wing editor in the whole land who is
not an advocate Of Protective Tariff And let
1t he also known that there IS not a Polk man in
'ilss;ss'ppi who has any Thing to say on The sub
act is not dcnouncer D! the Tariff policy
general. and of the Tariff OF 40 in Particular
LIT these facts he disguised from the voters
IF New. York and Pennsylvania. The Wing
barty OF The South beng an AMERICAN party,
,re determined that American Industry shall br
protected in preference to the Labor of foreign
qpsrntlves. The Loco Fncos have ranged thein-
-e'ves under the banner OF st. George in this
matter Who constitute the " u iileh" party
no" Your. Tor Clay. Ere ipghuysen and the Union.
