More Letters"

They do say that Mr.. Webster wrote letter to the
Taylor men of New York. which told them little
truth, and they suppressed it.
Where is that letter?
They do say that Mr.. Clay has written letter TO
somebody at Washington which told little more
truth.
Where is that letter?
They do say that General Taylors answer has been
seen in Philadelphia for several days past but the
knowing ones do not like it.
Where is that letter?
What world of things depend now upon letters 1!
The Hon. Abbott Lawrence is not the only recipient
of "a letter." it would seem.
Whilst we are writing, we see in the Ashtabula
Sentinel another letter from one who was delegate

HUNTINGTON, IL. IT, June IL, 1648.
My Dear Sir,-I hasten to write on subjects which
press me exceedingly. 1t seems to me years are
crowded into the experience of the last ten days To
my utter dismay, | found at Washington, that such
Northern men A. Lawrence, Gov. Seward, Thurow
Weed, Truman Smith, i'd Onune genus, were ready tc
take office under Gen. Taylor. The Taylor factor
were holding nightly meetings and issuing morning
bulletins At Philadelphia they had their separate
organization, and their separate headquarters. The
South entire, the extreme north east and scattered
delegates here and there, purchased doughfaces were
banded The Convention itself was mob, and poor
ly organized at that But will not attempt des
cnption-nether time nor paper will admit. Suffice
it to say that States which never did and never will
give Wing vote, together with Pennsylvania, which
never did but once and then by accident and Virgin
ia, which has not given Wing vote for IS years
have forced the working States, the slavery candi
date They demanded gunpowder-we offered Their
Gen. Scott--they admitted they could carry ever
State with him which they could for Taylor but turne
away from the offer. Will the North endure this lon
ger? | answer, cannot think the time has come
A party meeting was had, in which Ohio, Kentucky
Massachusetts, and other portions of the North wer
represented, and this arrangement entered into Tha

them meet, read, and talk and the fire will spread in
