DEAR SIR. You will perhaps disagree with me
10 what say, when / assert il "a my opinion that
no Wing candidate for the Presidency can be GER
tain Of success while his position is such az 70 lose
him a great portion OF the Wing strength on the
Reserve. My reasons for thus believing are--irst
because II his positions were obnoxious % the
views Of the Reserve Wings, on the Slavery ques
ton. it would be equally 20 70 great portion OF the
Whis. Of Nev.York and the New. England states
secondly. because no Wbig hope 70 carry
Ohio u6less be obtains a good share Of the Wing
strength of the Reserve.--and we should hardly
hope % elect Wing President without TIE aid OF
the Buckeye State. People sometimes think more
of themselves than their neigh5ors do OF them, and
/ NAV attach undue importance % the Reserve ln
