A friend who adhered you as a subscriber from 1925
TO the time OF your removal to Washington, and who
still adheres TO the boys chips of the old block ven
lures TO address you few hurried lines TO inform YOU
show goes the day" IN Mississippi The exerons of
the wings have been great indeed in this county Every
man who had any portion OF speaking talent has been
forced out by the village club, and some able men resi-
ding IN the adjoining counties have several asions
been urged into the arena So anxious have they been
TO make impression the sturdy democracy of Nox-
ubee, that they have even imported speakers from the
State OF Alabama. Their arrows all fall harmless Gen
erdl Auaiiabie seems very unavailable in these parts 1t
seems impossible to do nyhng for old Rough and Ready
In this region. He seems to hang a weight of lead
about the necks of his friends. short time since a
Rough and Ready meeting was held in Macon, where
they expected to parade IN vast numbers But alas for
them, how did II turn out? Advertisements struck
OIL IN great numbers and stuck up in every portion of the
county and two OF the best speakers in Alabama invited
TO attend, VIZ: w. M. Murphy and Mr. Taylor They
did attend, and brought along with them new convert
by the name OF Judge The bell rung all over town,
u s as an auction were to take place suppose they
did inns because 1t was an auction ndeedan auction of
principles After awhile in walked the speakers ex-
cept Mr. Murphy, who complained of being sick. Well,
could not assemble 100 whig listeners. Mr. TAYLOR
spoke his speech and sir could you have heard it, YOU
would have thought that it could hardly be auction of
principle for all principle seemed to have been disposed
OF long since. According to Mr. Taylor, Cass could
hardly be trusted as man OF common honesty General
Taylor was washington; and Fillmore nothing less
meeting adjourned for dinner with the announcement
that Mr. Murphy would speak after dinner and that the
new convert would wind up the affair The collection
was still, smaller in the evening than in the morning ex
cept a few ladies. Mr. Murphy fired few squibs and
complained of the tooh-ache. and left the stand
mr. Judge the new convert seemed to be brought
along for exhibition Alone for he did open his mouth
and merely sat on the right hand of the speaker, be
pointed at as my young friend The whole affair was
perfectly Nat, and showed that, in spite of all their
ons, they are making no impression here. Such show
of democrats, under such circumstances believe would
have given even so old soldier yourself the tooth
ache So do not wonder that it should affect Mr.
Murphy, who can only speak to large and appaudng
audience. You may feel perfectly satisfied that Missis
sppi will not do less than in ~, and will probably add
on thousand or two The changes that have taken
place are two to one in favor of democracy We have
several very clever speakers converts from the old Clay
guard We are all dong our whole duty. We feel Just
estly if they both southern men; indeed more So
Tor we feel thai we have strong friend in the enemys
side of the banner State of democracy.
Very respectfully, &C., yours.
Pennsylva
Entract Of letter from Lebanon-October rs, 1s4s
81 am glad to see by your Yesterdays paper that you
do not entirely abandon Pennsylvania There is no need
to do so. She is sound to the have never seen
the democrats active and determined they now are
not even in 1874. In this county alone will increase
our vote at least 1905 and from what can learn, the
majority counties to whose inacon and distraction the
late defeat is measuaby to be attributed, will do their
duty on the 7th proximo. Every man will be out.
There were two main causes which defeated Judge
Longstreh: his holding one office and running for
another and the bank democrats, who, if they did not
vote against him, very lukewarm. There also
local which operated against him, especially in
York and Montgomery counties. Those two counties
alone will increase their maorites for Cass and Butler
over 200 votes
"Never mind the democrats are all awake now and
you may set down Pennsylvania for Cass and But
Ter by about 1000 majority"
letter from Huntingdon county, from gentleman
recently wing, who cannot vote for ''a without
principles and without qualifications according Gen.
Tayors own showing, expresses the writer's belief that
the State will go for Cass and Butler at fortunate for
candidates that the State election for State officers
off before the presidential election. 1t has secured
the State for the democratic nominees"
Indeed all the letters we have from Pennsylvania
are of the most cheering description. They not as
they were before, the idle specuations of men at their
in their closets. They from men who are
at work-men of 'unconquerable WILL, who reused
to action-who animated by the strongest motives to
redeem their State-men who determined to con-
quer and who will carry everything before them One
of them is from correspondent in Ptsburg, who
says that "the democracy, heartily ashamed of their
defeat haze gone 10 aUork earnest " that there
is no doubt shall succeed in reducing the wing ma
ority from three hundreds and that Pennsylvania
will be redeemed
Another letter from Columbia county says " al is
safe-safe the determined energies of majority of
her feemen make her." The writer then enters into
some statistics, which calculated to show the spirit
and strength of brethren in of the neighborng
counties
