u The following is an extract of letter from
a subscriber to the Richmond Enquirer, written
from Illinois:
slam a resident of Mississippi; I have travel
led over the interior of Mississippi since the BAL
timore and Philadelphia Conventions, and have
travelled by steam % s Louis and Peru, Illinois.
| have made particular inquiries into the state of
political affairs, and in all my travels l have not
been able to find the first Democrat who is dissat-
isfied with the nominations of Cass and Butler
On the other hand, | have seen many Wings who
are dissatisfied with the Wing nominations. and
say most positively they will not and cannot sup
port cd lack. There are many Wing Barnburn-
ers both at the South and West. On the Steam
err Gen. Lane, I converted with a gentleman of
Lawrence county, Mississippi, who said that he
voted for Clay in 1874, bat will now vote for Cass
and Butler. He moreover said, that in 1914 his
county gave Polk TAO majority and Clay SO votes.
OF these &c votes for Clay in ia, 81 have now
signed their names to the DemocraticA As s ciation.
Eight of them volunteered in the second Missis-
sippi Regiment and all eight returned home good
Democrats. Ialso conversed with another volun-
teer of Gen. Wool's Division, who told me that
four out of five of the volunteers of that Division
will vote for Cass and Butler, and that he never
heard of bit one Democrat who will vote for Gen.
Taylor, and that was Col. Bo0Les, tue comman-
der of the second Indiana Regiment, who sk0ued

Pile growing State of New Jersy had scarcely an

TIIE DISCUssIoN on MONDAY.

We are only enabled, from the want OF room
and time, TO give n shortacccunt oil the discussion
which came off On Monday, at our Court House,
between the Hon. John S. Pendleton and Andrew
Hunter, on the one side, and Gem John S. Mill
son and the Hon. Henry Bedinger on the other.
The 81 lone star" opened the bali in a speech ofan
hour and a half, Characterised by some happy
flights of fancy, gross uenunciations ofthe Demo-
cratic candidate and party, bitter, abuse and bold
assertion, without discussing, or ottering to discuss
II single principle involved in the canvass. lie
was followed by Gen. Millson in a epeech of the
same length. The General, with al inability which
we have rarely heard equallcd, showed the utter
failacy of the Wing no-party party,-exposed
the nconsistencie of Gen. Taylor, and proved,
rs we think his, pretty conclusively, his %unftness
came to the rescue; and, in turn, was succeeded
by Mr.: Bedingcr, in one Of his ~happiest Efforts
Mr.. Hunter was then called out, and made a short
speech, in his usual rough style, in behalf OF
WhiggeFy. The discussion was then adjourned
until after tea, and to Taylor's Hotel, where twas
kept up till about 10 O'Clock at night by Messrs.
Bedinger and Hunter. The crowd then dispersed,
without being enlightened as to one single princi-
pie OF Gen. Taylor, although the General said n
his Delony letter, that it was The "Pe0PIe'S rightt 10
know The ~opimiqnS Of their candidates." While the
principles oforr candidate, Ger. Crs', were boldly
held forth, and most ably and trinmphal. tly Wind =
Gated. 1t was a proud day fer the Democracy,
our champions coming off more than conquerers.
We now seriously ask the p~cop!c-will they sup.
port a man who refuses TO avow his sentiments:
or will they not support the man who holds, and
boldly ayows principles that have contributed so
much TO the prosperity and lasting honor of our
country ?-lFiN. Firg ini@n.

Mr.. WEBsrER's sfEkcii.-The New York
Journal of Commerce says
"The speech of Mr.. Webster has been read
with regret by many of his best friends. True,
he assents to the nomination of Gen. Taylor, but
it is given with such apparent reluctance. and
with so many Attachments, that silence would
have becn a Kindness in comparison. Probably
Mr.. Webster is not aware that his own aspirancy
to the station had anything TO do with the faint
praise whichhe had bestowed upon the General,
yet the people will be very apt to suspect that he
had"
