es me from one of the most bitter portions OF the
Western part of Pennsylvania. hear like in
diligence from other quarters of the State, where
the malignant star of miscullcd Democracy has
hitherto been in the ascendant. The Key Stone
State it is believed by careful and candid men
will give her electoral vote to the Wing noni
nees.-.N Y Express.
81 never knew better state OF feeling than
that which exists at the present time in the Wing

strongest Loco Foco Counties in this State, the

win the victory. Some very important changes
have taken place in my own neghborhood. The
enemy despairs just as we take courage"
Letters from Virginia also i've good promise
Of success, and the best spirit prevails among the
Wings of the old dominion.

The editor of the Sunday Atlas, in his last is
sue mentions that he has seen a letter from Mr..
Clay, dated Ashland, July Cd, in which the "em

all proper occasions freely expresses his appro-
baton of the nomination of Gen. Taylor, and
