IS nothing. and can De nothing later. He
tells me It viii be rather a difficult task TO

q letter was received there on the 4lh
from CamaFgo, which states that pretty
certain advIces had been received of the
capture of Col. Morgan's command, and
that Gen. Urea was between Monterey
and the pass of RInconzdo with 5000
cavalry, who had cut of Gen. TAYLOR
from retEeating on Monterey. That there
was no doub! that there had been a Sc
we're battle, and the belief was that Gen.
L. had abandoned SaE.iIIo and fallen back
on the pass. Nothing. as you viii see.

means brighter for the gallant Taylor.

For he Enqui,

"WHO is WALTER ID. LEAkEl'
Messrs. Editors: have been very much
amused at some Of The Federal party of the city
of Richmond, who affect 10 laugh al The nomina-
lion OF Mr. Leake as The Democratic candidate
for Congress from this District. Let me tell these
mad.cap politicians in the Gibraltar OF Wing
gery that The des oil April will show them that he
IS their Representative in the next Congress Of
the United States from the Metropolitan District.
We, the people, do not Judge man by the cloth
of his coat. We take MIR. Leake because he is,
and ever has been, a consistent Democrat with
out shadow or turning-because he is man OF
the people, and OF talents and abiily-a man
of high moral character, and against whom the
breath of calumny dare not utter aught. Mr..
Lake has been for several years Representa-
tive in the Legislature of Virginia from old De-
mocralic Goochland, during which time no man
in that body had more Of the confidence, esteem
and respect OF members Of both parties than he
had; and no man during The past session, gave
The Wings in the Legislature more trouble, or
dealt them harder blows than w. D. Leake.-
He is the man to defeat the great "head him or
die" il the Democratic party will rally en- mas,e
(as doubt not they willy TO his support.
A PLAIN DEMOCRAT.
