The OPINION OF A DEMocRAT-General
Thomas A. Green, a native Of North Car
DINA, and who achieved fame in the struggle
for Texan independents, has written the fol-
lowing letter TO gentleman of Charleston.
Gen. G. has always been a firm and consis.
tent Democrat. He was for many years
planter; first in Florida and after wards in
Texas, but is now O resident of Boston. His
information is cheering in the extreme:
JAMAICA PLAINS, Mass. Aug. 1.

day yours of the I'd inst, which take

New York, upon the old issues, Wings and
Democrats stands about 200, 900 votes each.
All agree that Van Buren, will divide the
Democrats about equal while he cannot
get more than 4O, 900 ultra Abolition Wings

Taylor will get, even in New York, num-
Der of Democrats. In this State there are

Gen. Taylor will get very large vote
