1t may be interesting to you to know that there is no
division here in the democratic party that can nure it in
democracy those who have no object in view but their
countrys good among my acquaintance know of none
have inquired Of many democrats-of the working class
and they all tell me they know of who have left
the party but will go for Cass and Butler to a man. A
few disappointed office seekers, such Dr. E. D. Gaz-
zam, have gone to Van Buren,, but they carry no
democrats with them, but many from other clques and
the only good thing they have done for the party.

1t may crafty you to know that in this remote corner
OF your district the party is united to know not
one even among the lukewarm, who not perfect
y satisfied with the nominations of the Baltimore Con-
venton, and who will not give them a cordial support
Many OF US, at one tlme preferred different individual
as candidate Tor the presidency, but satisfied
as things have turned out, that the convention made the
wlses selection, and presented the strongest possible
ticket AS southern man, and a'saveholder, | much
PREFER under present circumstances, candidate from
State, occupying the ground embodied
IN the nicholson letter." than from slavehoding
State The South should evince capous impractical
bllty on the subject of slavery; and if her democracy
now refuses to support the nominees of the Baltimore
Convention, 1t amounts to declaration that in its opn-
ION, no one residing in non-saveholdng State can be
trusted on that subect and that one located shall
ever by ITS aid, receive any Office in the government
This would necessarily ALLEVIATE that portion Of the north
ern democracy, which still assists the slavehodng States
to preserve and maintain their constitutional rights and
most probably, would induce it to coincide with the
views always entertained this subject by the entire
northern wing party and recently professed by the trai-
orous, vndictve and ime-serving Van Buren,. That
such would be the result doubt who reflects
how much all opinions (butmore especially political opn
onsl are under the influence of interest," expedency, and
passion The South thus upon this subject placed in
hopeless minority, would be compelled dis
union. From its horrors the mind afrghted shrinks.
But hope better things The southern democracy will,
support And do trust that, before another presidential
election, this grave subject will be permanently and sat
isfactorly settled But find that have written much
more than originally intended, and must apologize for
the consumption of your valuable me by the expression
of my crude and unimportant opinions.
Having indicated the condition of our own party in
this neighborhood, will say that the wings seem stess
and careless Most of them are ardent Clay men in
fact admiration of him made many of them wings.
There is no enthusiasm among them; and yet,
tempts have been made to excite any Fillmore is bitter
pill and have heard hnted that the wing electors if
elected might cast the of the State for Taylor and
Butler. This of course is hardly possible.
