TAYLOR N PENNsYLvANIA.-Ex Extract from
private letter 10 the Editors of the Atlas. The
letter is written by gentleman formerly Wing
member of Congress, from Penns yvanla, aud no
is one Of the most shrewd and active Wings in
that State. The letter is dated
PHILADELPHIA, July 18th, 1S4S.
"All looks well in Pennsylvania. Gen. Tay-
Tor will carry ihs State by at least $4,000. His
majority in Philadelphia city and county will
range between eight and twelve thousand. The
Wings of Pennsylvania are united as one man
for Taylor and Fillmore"
MICHIGAN IN DANGER. a prominent Demo-
crat, and strong partlzan Of Cass, in letter
written under Gate Of July 5lh, from Grand
Rapids in Michigan to a merchant in New York
City, says:
a. to politics we hardly know where we are.
We have Cass and Taylor men and Van Buren,
men. hope the most Cass men, but ii is not
Improbable hai ice may lose The state"
In giving tliis, the New-Yorl Evening Post
ivan BUREN, well says, this expression OF appre-
hension is full of significance:
"When even Michigan in the opinion of
Mr.. Cass's most ludlclUus friends Is likely to
abandon him, there can be but little expectation
Of his success in other Western States"
MASSACHUSETTS VOLUNTEERS. The Cleve-
land (Ohiol Herald of last Saturday, SAYS that a
vote was taken among the Massachusetts volun-
teers, on board Of the Saratoga at that place, on
Friday evening. The result was as follows:
Taylor 27S
Cuss 9
All the rank und file were for Ola lack, and
all the officers but nine.
Ono FOR TAYLOR. A great effort has been
and is now made to create the impression thar
General Taylor cannot carry OHIO. All such
statements are supremacy absurd. Nearly all
those opers which al first hesilaled, have now
raised the old Wing banner. And mark the
language of the following letter, fro that no.
BILE champion who avows his enlistment for the
campaign:

a. The democracy of New Bedford, says
the Mercury" opened their political campaign
on Saturday evening by public meeting, at
which Messrs, Rodney French, j. A. kasson,
A. Mackic, 5. Perkins Brown, of Boston, aud
others, were speakers. The question of sup
porting the nomination Of Cass aud Butler or
that Of Martin Van Buren, was warmly confess
ted, and resulted in the adoption of resolutions
10 favor Of the latter The meeting was prolon-
ged until late hour.
a. Hon. John Quincy Adams, previous to
his death, was warm advocate of the election
of General Taylor lie thought he was the on
" man the Wings could elect, aud that he would
make an excellent President. The letter Of Mr..
ing speaks of this there is other evidence of
| the iact.-.HtdS
Hon. Henry A. Wise is making speeches for
Cass IN Virginia. HIS chief charges against

honisis. What do The stree soll' advocates say
