letter of the 9TH ult., which has Just reach
ed me, IN which you say, Il had the hon
or of being called on last evening to ad-
dress mass meeting of the Wings ofthe
city and county OF Philadelphia. At
that meeting your name was frequently
mentioned In connection with the Office
OF Chief Magistrate of the United States.

in my place in the House of Representa-
tiyes at Washington, that you were a
Whig-not indeed, an ultra parlizan
Wing. but Wing in principle. Ill
Of rhich IS entirely cOrrec.

both Houses of Congress, at the last ses-

Monterey, in which discussion YOU tho t

by those who dIsapproved that measure

that occasion, or read them after then 1rere
published, could mistake the complexion of
my politics.

prefer seeing him IN that Office TO anv in

zeal creed | was reared, and whose opln-
ions In matters of State | have never lost

A NEAPoLIrAN's FIRhNEss. : The
NeapoIitan in general holds drunkenness
IN very great adherence. A story is
told there of a nobleman, who, having
murdered another in a fit of jealousy.was
condemned 10 suffer death. His life was
offered TO him on sole condition OF saying
that when he committed the deed he was
intoxicated. He received the offer with
dlsdain, and exclaimed, " would rather
suffer ten thousand deaths than bring
ternal disgrace upon my family by con-
Tossing the dIsgraceful crime Of intoxica-
ton He persisted and was executed.
