June 10Th. lS4S.

Gentlemen. Having SO far regained my health
TO feel somewhat at home in the STIR and bus
tie Of the crowd, resume my weekly endeav-
to keep you posted up in regard to some Of
the topics that ~ itate the public mind, and the
transporting events that fall under my own obser-
vaton in this driving. thriving, bustling city.
Since the result of the convention in Phladel-
phia Photographed yesterday morning all bu-
sincss matters seem to be neglected, and even
the confirmation Of the Treaty OF Peace by both
branches Of the Mexican Congress excites but
little attention. All are swallowed up in The
one great queston-iiow do you like the nonin-
ationl Notwithstanding n it was in this city that
the first Taylor de demonstrations exhibited them
selves in this latitude, yet II is not to be con-
cealed that dissatisfaction exists in the minds OF
many good and true Wings. But there two
opinions that all seem to unite upon. lst That
Taylor and Fillmore will be elected, sure End
That the choice now being between Taylor anc
Fillmore and Cass and Butler, no Wing, how
ever he may have felt chagrined that his first
choice" was not selected can hesitate to give to
the former his firm and hearty support. Gen.
Taylor s opinions upon the exercise of the Veto
] Power alone would be sufficient to induce this
course even if he ha no other claims to prefer
ence.
The City Press speak out their sentiments
without reserve. The Times and Chronicle,
are we'll pleased OF course. The Gazette also
falls in with free and unqualf support and the
strongest approbafiOu. The Publishers of the
Atlas follow suit with strong manifestations OF
enthusiasm in the Cause. Not exactly with
I the Editor Mr.. Stevenson. lie can only unite
in the great work cordially and freely on certain
conditions which he expects to be made satisfac-
tory by the official reports of the Convention
The Herald is Of course greatly troubled tina
a man should be selected whose location is Sou,f
of Mason and DIckson's line; if the opno n.
of tho ''the one idea" leaders whose course I
years ago defeated the election OF Henry Clay
and in effect brought about the xation o
Texas and the war with Me xco, could have an,
effect on Whig votes at this day. | have saic
that some feelings Of dissatisfaction were mani
. fest here. Such Is the case and was to have
been expected But tho prevailing sentiment j.
that of 10Y, and the most cordial unqualified ap
probation. And let me not be understood ii.
ntlmaiing that there is any probability that til.
nomination vii not be acquiesced in, iii this cit,
and in this State; or that there is any doubt bu
: II will carry the State by reclamation, notwith
