DESPERATE PROSPECTS OF THE SPOILERS.
The private report of our old friend Major
DOwaing TO the President, copy of which he
(the Major not the President has kindly sent US,
must have proved damper at the White House,
it will to all who gather the signs of the times
from the ever bright columns Of the official organ.
But to the Executive Committee" of the party
and others behind the scenes, the gloomy idings of
MAJOR DoWning will be not entirely new. The
real impressions of these better informed gentlemen
happen to have come to light in distant quarter,
and their apprehensions have been confdentially
made known to their coadjutors elsewhere, though
kept private here. The Neao Jersey State Ga
zehe of Wednesday last brings US the annexed ac-
count OF private Circular issued lately by the
Cass Executive Committee of this city and as
we have been indebted to the Union for bringing to
light two or three of the Hon. TRUMAN SMITHS
private circulars, we return the favor by offer
ing to the Editor the annexed notice of circular
from his side:
TRENTON STATE GAZETTE.
SECRET CIRcuLAR FROM WAsHIsGTos.-We have be
possessed, accidentally, of circular issued by
their pasans this State This circular appears be dis
tribued with much secrey possible. We have
suspect that has been furnished the publishers of all
the Cass newspapers New Jersey be by them dsbut
ed privately their political friends The copy pos
session sent in of these newspapers by mad
vertence, to Wing, and was by him handed to
is well for the of Gen. Cass that this circular
kept from the Whgs It would have been still better for that
if it had been kept from the Locos. We have
thing well calculated danpen their spirits, inspire
the Wings with confidence.
The first object of the circular appears to be to beg the
Cass of New Jersey bestir themselves 'We ap-
peal TO you is the melancholy language Of the document
I'VE appeal to you not to stand idly by your guns" Do
remain inactive until the day of election approaches
Stir up the Democracy to a Of the dangers to which
is exposed by the conduct Of the Federal party and their
allies !"
And then, ifafraid Of frightening the Cass men, the
Executive Committee address themselves to the task of dis
pelng their dependency "Let beg Of you they say,
be depressed by the result in Pennsylvania And
then they go show that there is Locofoco majority in
that State that it ought have been the last cleo
,ion and that they expected would be that they dis
appointed in the result of that election, but they they
would not be disappointed in tue next and, finally that
if there is majority there opposed TO Cass, yet they
would all for Taylor cd Cass will get in by the
The Executive Committee then, further dlspe the fears
Of their Jersey brethren, present list of the electoral
they expect for Gen. Cas and if that list does prove
blanket the hopes Of every of their intelligent par
sas, they must have confidence which nothing shake

uf their weakness.
The address lays great upon the of the Free
oles and the Society Of Friends. They say they do not
expect these persons Cass But they say that they
expect them to promote his election, indirectly. They
pect them to stay from the polls ard this they say
" uiA Proce eqtiafy tataito the Wing cause"
They expect the members Of the Society Of Friends and
the Free Soil aid them materially New jersey and
Pennsylvania. In Maryland they calculate that the falling

Taylor cannot carry the State unless be gets the Quaker voe
In North Carolina there least 500 Friends and the
loss Of them, they suppose, will give the Stale to Cas
