HUNTINGDON, (Pa.,) June 26, ls4s
SIR The democratic party in this section OF the Union
highly delighted with the nominations OF Cass and
Butler and go into the presidential contest with the
strongest hopes of success We have had two enthus-
astic meetings since the Baltimore Conventions and can
say with TRUTH that was more enthusiasm manifest
altogether in favor OF our Candidates The nomination
of Gen. Taylor has caused considerable futering IN the
ranks of the wing party and really amusing to see the
manpuvres of the leaders in their efforts to hold the
'boers" and keep them in their traces Already have
heard number, who have grown gray in the wing ranks
declare boldly that they will never support man who is
afraid to his principles upon the leading questions
of national policy that agitate the Union The democratic
party, confident, were never more firmly united
in the cause OF their principles or SO well pleased with
their standard bearers, than at the present time.
If other portions of the Union do well the cold
Keystone State, (and we have reason to doubt but
they wil) glorious triumph awaits the efforts OF the
and the able cabinet which surrounds HIM meets the uni
vesa admiration OF every democrat in this county as far
as my information extends ms course IN relation 70 the
and while the of Corwin, the federal aposate to
the interests of his native land, the Indignation of
every lover of his country and looked upon nothing
short of treason the democratic party is reaping rich
reward for their patriotism and glorious attachment to
the constitution, in the affections of all
Pennsylvania pledged in the national convention,
by Mr. McCandess for twenty thousand in favor Of the
nominees and glorously will it be redeemed. We are
united, firm, and will roll up ahundering majority We
feel confident that this congressional district repre-
sented by Mr. Blanchard, old Hartford Convention
federast, will send good democrat to the next Con-
gress, Mark the prediction!
Yours, &c. G. r.

Ohio is safe for Cass and Butler We have only to
the balance OF the Union DO that, and there will be
no danger. We shall triumph
CINCINNATI, June 90, 1s4s
There is not shadow Of doubt in relation to the vote
of Ohio for Cass
New ORLEANS, June IS, 1s4S
We all laugh at the notion of the northern wings, that
they have any chance in Louisiana. Rest assured we
shall carry the State for Cass and Butler by greater ma
jority than that of Polk and Dallas This is the opn-
on most decidedly expressed OF the governor and all
our most intelligent friends. We are united one man;
and there are many whgs-Cay men-who will not vote
for Gen Taylor.
We expect Gen. Butler here, from Vera Cruz, on Tues
day, the 10th, and general committee have made ar
engagements to receive him in suitable manner Butler
is well known and highly respected here as most con-
spicuous officer in the campaign of 1Sl4-l5. There is
much general and determined disposition to support
Gen. Cass among the people OF Louisiana than there was
in favor of MIR. Polk when he was first nominated in
1914 because, presume, Cass has been long before the
public eye probable candidate and Polk was started
upon us suddenly and Unexpectedly. No one doubts
Casss ability his good feelings towards this part OF the
Union Our population are well acquainted with Gen
Taylor, and they have tact enough to detect his decen
cies OF education and political knowledge.
see in some papers, the wings claim Mississippi and
Alabama. They might well claim Michigan and Mis-
souri,.
Fillmore would kill Taylor by his association, if he
not already gone past resusc itaon The Bulletin
has not degned to place the two names together, and
Taylor stands alone at the head of that paper. Fillmore
is known to be abotionst and bitter enemy Of the
south-an nseparabe ally of J. G. Adams, whom he
supported in all his assaults upon shareholders This
trait in his history will destroy the prestige OF Tay
lors name throughout the whole south It damper
upon the ardo OF the wings and deters them from act
ing in the canvass with their accustomed zeal One
would suppose that the fact of Taylor being the owner
Of 200 slaves in Louisiana and Mississippi, would have
equally fatal effect upon Fillmore among the northern
wings. | saw for the first time, to-day, the last days
proceedings of the wing conventions the dissension was
rancorous and the difference of sentiment seems radical
and ncurabe; and how it be otherwise with one
OF their candidates the OF hundreds OF slaves and
the other abotonst and revier of the south! The
whole proceedings beay heterogeneous medley OF dis
codant and hostile opinions essential and vital points,
which would not have been made known IT the wings
had possessed discretion enough to abstain from holding
their convention The democracy conducted their bust
in another sort of way because they animated
by principles which no consideration could induce them
