ALEXANDRIA, August l5
We completed organization early in July, with great
prospect of success Our gains the last congress
sional election, when we felt the pulse of Taylorsm
compared with our loss is more than four to one We
opened the ball with free discussion The enemy brought
his largest guns into the first action. Our skrmishers
drove them from the field with the result aforesaid The
ablest men of whgery in this State discussed here. with
you their points, that you may select for and send to
us the best ammunition for the engagement
This point for the last twenty years has been cen the TO-
and whipped whgey in the height of their power We
changed the constitution well the politics of the
State Our great triumph gave birth divisions in our
ranks We have had for years two democratic papers
The old one turned over to Tayor"the Republican"
The editor and proprietor goes alone the ranks of
whigery, who gave large price for vote. Thus we
stand, and from all learn the State at large is
similarly situated. Having reputation in political
prediction, hazard it in assuring you majority for
Cass and Butler will not be less than 800 and may
probably be upwards of 5000 trust this DEPRESSION will
be as pleasing YOU hear. is to me to feel and
express it They have labored hard to kindle the old
enthusiasm, but it is go. The boot is the other
leg We have the enthusiasm that intelligent patriotism
gives, which never dies but kndles into brightness as
the dark cloud of the enemy shows itself. The States
who voted last Monday if they indicate wing gain,
may kindle enthusiasm with them, but cannot throw a
gloom
