Correspondence Of The Cecil Hhig.

PHILADELPHIA, ANg"a 2Sth 1SfS.
FRIEND RIcHErTs:-It is proverbial
that, for dullness and want Of cnthusi.
asm, the present campaign, although one
of great importance, is without prece-
dent in our political annals. At pres
ent, however, the political circles, so far
as the city and county Of Philadelphia
are concerned, bc0in to give evidence
> of animation, and determination not TO
let the election pass off altogether by
default. In the Wing ranks. there is con-
siderable Of hustle and real lifn, whilst
"masterly inactivity" seems 10 prevail
IN those OF our adversary. Indeed the
only gisi5'e signs Of life evinced BY the
Locoioco party of this CITY. are to be
s",n in few political t"SsarjS who flock
about the Custom House. Verify do
believe, that, were it not for cmolumpnts
which arise from the Post Office and Gus
tom House. the Locofoco organization
would be enttrel. onnihHoted IN the city
and count Of PhiladrIphi2.-r-The eco
hesive power" of plumber is the only
thing that holds them together. So
greedy ale they after the 'spoils," that
they are warning among themselves. I
have no doubt but these "yore,ra cn'a7
YaoPs.s' vii make desperate struggle
, 10 sustain ,he asceHdtncy OF H.. ialuioc0
party. They have sabsStrd upon the
! ds(cmposet carcass of the Custom House so
long that they have become Monled, con.
'nnnonted. and unfit Tor any other station,
and in yielding up their pAotts in that "Pc-
/ iifeai Jo0r Eo,lss," they would also Weld
up their fre',-tor il has BEEN clearly
demonstrated, that unless they are fed at
the "pui|e crib" they are not ed at al,
and, as consequence, they are compell-
ed to give up the Ghost, Hence, as the
result of the coming election will be life
or deo'h TO them, we may expect the
most implacable opposition from these
hungry "spol}s-men.' Then, ! say let
the Whigs-ray, the Proplr--- arise in
their majesty and place in the Executive
chair man o. III" people--an honest
true nan, one who will carry out the
will Of the people man VINO will hurl
