GEN. TAYLOR in OHIO,

The Boston Atlas publishes private letter,
addressed to a gentleman Of that city, from
which we copy The subjoined:
New SIDoN, [OHIo,l July %, 1913.
My object IN writing is to correct a state
ment, not 10 my knowledge as yet contradict.
ed and going the rounds of the newspa pers.
No man Of ordinary political information
and in his right mind, unless for effect, and
where contradiction could not be immediate
would at any time since the Utica Convention
have assigned to MIR. Van Buren, more than
twenty or thirty, or, at!the utmost, forty thou
sand of the three hundred and fifty thousand
votes of Ohio. ! never heard his vote estimat-
ed in any quarter at more than thirty thousand;
and, from any indication yet shown, that is
above the mark. My position for judging is
much better than Mr.. IS possibly can be.
see most of the leading Wing and many OF
the Locofoco State papers regularly; have
heard by letterand from travellers, within the
last three weeks, from most parts Of the State;
have been long in the habit of estimating,
with considerable success, gubernatorial and
other majorities, and most willingly rely up
on the estimates set down above.
The Abolitio nists Of Ohio have complained
grievously at the nomination of Gen. Taylor.
'o'uinS ieos NOS W nave oeen eAPeCteu. IneiI
complaints would have been as frequent and
loud had MIR. Clay or Gen. Scott received the
Wing nomination. They have not voted with
the wing party in a single instance for years,
take peculiar delight in grumbling at what the
whig party do, and could not have been induced
to act with wings at the next Presidential E.
lection, unless The latter had yielded up their
cherished principles, and narrowed down their
platform and their candidate TO single idea
Aboitionism.
Some dis atisfaction prevails, on account OF
the nomination Of Gen. Taylor, among por.
ton of the wings in the abolition districts; but
displeasure at the nomination Of Mr.. Cass
equally prevails among the Locofoco party;
and appearances indicate that the loss to each
Of the great parties will be about equal on ac-
count of dissatisfaction, and that the wings
will carry the State.

For the Evansville Journal.
EvANsvILLE, Aug. 81, is


Mr. Chandler:-With your permission
wish to say through the medium of the Jour-
nal. few words to the editor of the Democrat.
concerning an article which appeared in his pa
per of Friday last.
am not in the habit of writing for the news
papers, nor do trouble myself often with IKE
scribblings of editors,-I mind my own affairs
and let other peoples alone; and if the smart
chap who travelled out of his way TO find fault
with the Brass Band for playing few pieces
of music for the Trough and Ready Club" had
done as much there would be no necessity for
this article. But unfortunately we have in
this community print which is and has been,
from its first appearance, disposed to find fault
with and abuse every body that does not think
with it, and of this there is proof enough. The
editor of the Democrat, for some other equally
trihing fellow for him., says the Brass Band
was employed by the Club, when the truth is
we were requested and invited by the Club to
perform at the meeting, and consented to do SO
as we had often done before for the democratic
party; and as we may do again. The editor
ISLANDERS us when he says we played music son
keys" We did no such thing, nor do we be-
lieve music can be played son keys" nor did
we play music on bass drum, for no such in
strument did the band have, nor were the notes
Of the Bugle discordant. But person who
can not tell the sound of two bugles from a
bass drum, might well suppose the notes dis
cordant or that music was played "on keys
The members composing the Band were a clev-
er set of fellows when they played for the Gen.
Lane festival, or when they tramptd for one
whole day through mud knee deep TO do honor
to Richard M. Johnson, or when they went up
and down the streets aiding the lamented Capt.
Walker to recruit men Cor Old Zack-they
were clever set of fellows then; but now
when they accept an invitation to play few
pieces of music for club got up to defend and
honor "honest old lack" Notwithstanding the
members of the Band are all but one, Whigslthe
editor Of the Democrat must carp and sheer al
them, and SANDER them through his columns.
But when it is recollected how grossly this
whole community was slandered and abused
by that print on an occasion to which have
alluded above, it is not much wonder that we
have caught it few" for daring to play mu
sic for Wing Club. 1t is altogether likely
that we shall offend the Democrat editor many
times between this and the election, but biz
snarling at US and our performances shall no,
deter us from accom- modating our friends when
it is in our power to do SO; and
Since brave Old lack
BY skill and tact
Has always been victorious,
So we will blow our Bugles loud
To make his triumph glorious.
A BAND BOY.
