AT LAST

The New Orleans Bulletin says that General
TAYLOR received, on the l4th, the official letter
from Governor Moorehead, announcing his no.
mination al Philadelphia. This must have been
a duplicate-for we cannot doubt that the origi.
nal was refused by Gen. T., and sent back &c
Washington. A strange mystery hangs over
this matter. The Postmaster at Baton Rouge
writes, July 8h, 10 The Postmaster General:
"The letters in question were hastily examin
ed, as he [Gen. +. did not expect Them TO be SEM
of under three months. He now finds that some
OF them are of importance 10 him, and desires
them returned, which please do as soon as posi-.
ble."
Is il mol sinsuIarlhat Gen. Taylor, looking out
for he nomination, and seeing The Philadelphia
post.mark of June and 10, should have refused
TO pay his money for any such Trash as Wing
nomination. Such "hasty" proceedings The void
will no: understand. II looks like device 10
gain time, and 10 see what kind OF an acceptance
will suit the occasion. "Three months" Taylor
ism, from first 10 last, is queer thing.

10 Wc Edu0TS OF me enquirer:
GREENE CousrY, VIRGINIA.
Messrs. Editors For some time past have
closely scanned your paper, in which anxious
ly expected TO see a communication from some
Of my Democratic friends, who were more OK
perlenced in political matters than myself sta
ling what the prospects of Generals Cass and
Butler were in our county and for fear that our
silence may lead 10 an unfavorable impression
Of the political features Of our county, will
venture TO speak for the unterrified Democracy
Of little Greene. | can with safety say that the
entire Democracy are well satisfied with the no
nnees, (Cass and Butler,) and will support
them with their usual zeal and energy. In fact,
do not know single individual who has here.
tofore fought under the banner OF Democracy
who will fail to do his duty in The present Pre-
sidential canvass.
However strange, nevertheless it is a truth,
thus far we have no issue. to meet, no argu
ments TO combat. What our opponents may
have behind the curtains, we are as yet un-
advised. They say Taylor has been success,
full General; he whipt the Mexicans badly at
Palo Alto, &c., &c.-and he is good enough
Wing for US, because be said he would have
voted for Henry Clay in 1874, had it been in his
power Our best informed Wings when asked
to say what measures General Taylor is for or
against, honestly admit they do moi know, not
wilhstanding they intend 10 go for him at al
events-blind. suppose. can arrive at no other
conclusion, than that the Wings have barlered
their long cherished and darling principles for
the empty name of availability. | frequently
boar them say, huzza for Taylor; and were 10
judge without knowing, would at once say
they had no candidate for the Vice Presidency,
for never hear the name Of Fillmore mention
ed BY Wing, unless wresled from him in con-
yersation by some Democrat. Moreover, do
conscienliously believe that there are some Of
the small number of Wings in Greene who do
not know what the name of their candidate for
Vice President is.
Agreeable 10 notice, the gallant and fearless
S. F. Leake addressed the citizens of our coun-
ty at orr last court. In his usual courteous
mild and mastery manner, he discussed most OF
the questions appertaining to the present can
vass. In an able and satisfactory manner be
exhibited the inconsistencies of Oyster Whigge-
ry-alias Wbiggery, with yelled principles
and judging from the good attention ofthe people,
and from what have since heard, many say his
forcible arguments and cogent reasoning told
well, and made lasting impressions on the minds
of all the unprotected. Mr.. Leake was the
only person who spoke, there being no Wing
speakers present.
In conclusion, will say, entertain no fears
about Greene; we are preparing for the cam
paign; and venture the assertion, that we will
give good account of ourselves on the 18th Of
November next / think can with safety say,
we will give Cas- aud Butler the handsome ma
