Yes sir you may rely upon it. that it is mistake to
suppose that Tor VIII better than the wing
candidate for Governor Johnston will carry 5000
votes than Taylor All the shg free sellers will go for
Johnston and he will probably be defeated by ten
fifteen Thousand votes. He may leave Philadelphia
city and county with five or six thousand but old
BeIks will Put in five thousand against him Still he
will bring the whg strength If defeated
will be, even if only by one hundred votes, Taylor
will lose the State by bve thou.and We shall gain
seven or eight members of Congress- Johnston has
been of to the north, but it will do good.
