To the Editor of The Union:
SIR Pursuant to previous arrangement, large and en-
tn usasc meeting of the democracy of Charles and the
adjoining counties was held at Audsve, Thursday
afternoon last at which, by special invitation Col IL II
Heath, OF Michigan (now in WashngtonD was present.
Col IL, you have not forgotten, recently from
the federal wing ranks, and is doing good battle for
American democracy large gathering were in attend
ance. Col II, made speech worthy of older heads in
the cause and was enthusiastically greeted he into
full detail of the evil tendencies of the protective sys
TEN upon our citizens and their interests he proved the
at roforem system, or tariff of 1885, the best adapted
the constitutional provision for revenue, and of
equality upon the people He knocked the head of the
monster Internal Improvement entirely in. He proved
the independent treasury system the democratic system
and the best Tor the country, and demolished United
States bank sm He ably defended the present admins,

upon the officers and soldiers of the late war, not omit
ting Gen Taylor; the latter of whom he proved unqua
fed for the high station for which he is candidate, and

Extract Of a letter from the Western Reserve, dated

Since the nomination at Buffalo, the political horizon
appears to be in black, unsettled state in this meridian
must frankly express to my views of the state of
parties and the prospects in this section
1t is well known that the Western Reserve usually
gives from five to eight thousand majority for the wings
but think that Taylors majority will dwinde down TO
about twelve hundred. This county (Ashtabula) has
been the banner whig county of the State. In warm
contest generally poll about thousand votes, the
wings about three thousand abolition six hundred.
Since the nomination at Buffalo, think we shall not
be able to poll eight hundred, the wings about f
teen hundred You will discover by my calculation
that the abolition Called +" free sol) will have ma
jority the wings, and the wings small majority
over
In this town (Conneaut, banner town. we generally
poll about seventy five votes, wings about four hundred
abolition forty But the tables are turned we shall
poll about sxtyfve; the wings and abolitioniss about
equally divided
have no fear as to the result of this State for Cass
and Butler by from ten to twelve thousand majority But
as the wings and abotonists will support Ford, fear
that the gallant and noble hearted Weller may be in some
danger
The free soil party have succeeded in nominating Gid
dings, under the call of the whig county central COM
