The following letter of Col. WYNKooP
to gentleman in PottsvilIe, Pa, we. find
in the Pittsburgh Post, and we commend it
to the careful perusal of those federalists
whe have been 50 loud in their denuncia-
tion Of the war. In speaking of the letter,
the Post says:-.'fhe he gallant Colonel left
home . s.Whig"-an ardent-deyo.ed-
influential sswhig,' but since he entered
. the service Of his country, to battle in de-
fence Of her insul,ed flag and murdered
citizens, he has. found the leaders of the
party to which he belonged, taking sides
against their own country-declaring that
she is wrong, and that Mexico is right; and
afording the enemy all the said and com.
6ft'' in their power. Il seems that the trea.
sonable editorials Of the National Intelli-
gencer, and other leading federal papers,
evidence that one party in this country
sympathiss with. and write in favor of the
Mexicans. 1t ii not strange that patriotic
whig, like Col. WrskooP, upon Witnessing

leo. | was myself prepared for this course
on the part Of the venerable gentlemen,
from what | had heard of his conversation
ut Quincy during the last summer. He
expresse the opinion that the war would
result in the acquisition ofand annexation
of Menico-and subsequently,, his belief, to
avoid the natural consequence, the admin.
istration would patch up peace with some
other government of its own establishment
in Mexico. :t @
That peace is not yet patched up, but is
expected by some that it will be, very soon
after, if not before the meeting of Congress-.
Let the treaty be made, and if it provides
tor the acquisition of any thing short of the
whole OF Mexico, and if it does not provide
tor the perpetual restriction of African
slavery in Mexico, there will be an onnosi.
ton to it in Congress of most Formidable
and vehement character, The

GREAT MovEa IN WESTERN VIRGINIA.
From the Louisville Examiner, we learn
that strong Emancipation move has
commenced in western Virginia. We
know that this has been in progress for
many years, but now it seems to have MS
sumed more decided attitude than former.
ly. The move, too, has been undertaken
by Shareholders themselves to soms ex,sn, :.
The chief actor now is the Rev. Henry
Rufner, D. D, Presbyterian minister.
With him are associated s. MD Moore.
John Letcher, David B. Curry, James G.
Hamilton, George v. Baker, J. H. Lacy.
John Echols, James R. Gordon, Jacob
Fuller,jr.s D. e. Moore, and John w.
Fuller, all men Of high ,charac.er. Tho
Blue Ridge is the natural division between
eastern and western Virginia Slavery
cannot thrive in the west. The western
portion of the state, therefore, proposes to
exclude slavery BY emancipation from thsir
territory. With slavery in eastern Viz
glnia, the west does not propose TO inter
fere. They say, "We would simply raise
barrier against this Stygian inundation
stand at the Blue Ridge, and, with SOW.
ereign energy declare to this black sea Of
misery, ''hitherto shalt thou came, and no
further" According to the present as.
pect Of things, there is likely to be 2 great
efforts put forth, in western Virginia, to
exclude slavery from its bounds. - N. Z.

% public meeting is called in the
city and county Of Philadelphia, among
the Democratic friends Of Mr.. Dallas, to
present his name as candidate for the mex,
Presidency.
Scarcely year has passed since the
federal press from one end of the Union to
the other were bowling their denunciations
egainst Mr.. Dallas for having given his
vose for tho tariff of ls46, accusing him
Of having betrayed the confidence and in
forests of the people Of Pennsylvania. The
democrats of that State, listening to these
denunciations. permitted the federalis.s to
triumph al the election in the fall Of ls46,
and that triumph was regarded as con-
dsmnaiion OF the course of Mr.. Dallas by
the people Of his own State, by the wings
oil over the Union. But year passed by,
and the 'sruin" predictions Of federalism
wsre not realized; Mother the interests of
the nation, nor of ofPennsylvania had been
sacrifced, and at the election las. fall the
democracy Of Pennsylvania nobly sustained
the course Of the Vice President; for no
question snrersdzmore largely into the con.
test than that Of the tariff. Time and ex-
perisnce, which test the practacnbility and
bensfiis Of human enactments, had yindi-
Gated the vote Of Mr., Dallas, and at the
late election, the people Of Pennsylvania
sanctioned his course by an overwhelming
majority; and now, notwithstanding the
fierce and bitter denunciations Of the fede-
raj press, there is no man in the nation 10
whose support the democracy Of the Old
Keystone would rally more cheerfully than
to that Of George VI. Dallas.
