Dear COioaei:-l'vo been stumpimg IL
round all over the Ia, for two or three
months. tight aud tight, for our American
friend, Ten. Cass, and as spose YOU arc
very anxious aud uneasy 10 know how it's
coming ont, thought would sci down and
make out private report and send j, or
TO you, giving Won some 81 tho prcmonito-
nv symptoms, Ed that when The arterclap
comes, YOU may be little prepared for il,
aud ~, feel so bad. As said atore, l'vc
been all round the lot, sometimes bv tho
steamboat, aud sometimes by the railroads,
and sometimes by the telegraph, and when
there wasn't M other way tn -, innted
ii. And I'm satisfied the jig is up with us.
aud it's no use in INV tr,i ng IL any longer;
mud MIR. Buchsnnn's speech was nll ,hrowed
away, tao. I'm very sure we shnli &c,
some ot' tho States, but III he hanged
il can tell which ones. There ain't h
single State tina, should dare Ia bet upon
alone. bot taking them all in the lump
should still stick out strong for half n doZ-
CO. al least. You NAV depend upon il, wc
should elect Gineral Cass easy enough il
i, wasn't for Gineral Taylar; but he stands
peskilv in the way, Jest rs much rs he
stood in the way OF the Mexcans ut Bonv
Vis,v. AS for Mr.. Van Buren,, il he stood
agin us alone, We should tread him all TO
atoms; he couldn't make no Roadway at
all. especially after We got the nomination.
NJ Baltimore. jest between you md the,
don't think much ot Mr.. Van Buren, now.
don't believe now, he ever ,ras demo-
cra,. ! think he only made believe all the
time; aud Id bet Two IN one hc's only ma
King belicre nom. ! wish The Old Gincral,
dear old Hickory, that's dead md gone,
could lie here now a. have the handling oil
him tor u little while; il he didn't bring
him into the traces, wouldn't guess
agn.
But. us said before, Gincral Ia, Tor il
peskily in the way all over the country
First, thought would figure around in
some Of the strong Wing districts; for,
thinks |, ii Gnu make our friends show a
bold front Tor Cass there, ii will be- such
wet blanket for the Wings tina, they'll! give
il up. Wen, called u public meeting
without distinction Of party; and put it
to en- strong tor Cass aud the Cons,itu-
ton, and Caliiornv forever. They all lis
tened. and every little while they hurrad
aud ciapped; and thinks the tide is turn
ng I'm going 10 carry this place all boiler,
Wings aud a!l. Eu, when | got through,
and old rusty faced farmer, away back in
oae corncr. ret up AMI looked round, aud
saws hc--'.lhrcc cheers Tor Zachary Tay-
or." Thunder and cannon! II there wasn's
n roar. set me down for a liar. Whv. Cot
encl, haiui heard nothing like IL since
the s,orming Of Chepultepcc. |, ,ats mo
right oil my feet. ! see al once that the
battle was agn us there, anu Thought had
better make nv escape under the smoke
Of i, MS last rs possible. At first. | felt
rather had about IL. And then again |
;hounat had o'iga, In have expected ii,
for knew the Wings had voted that Gin
eral Ia, Ior was a Wing, aud had made uI,
their minds To 10 for him. So s,reak'd it
III Tor strong Democratic district; for
iourd tina, our main dependence must DO
amen. our friends. Here called mass
meeting wi,hou, distinction Of party, Tor
was sure we should get up such roar Tor
Cass that the Wings would be dnmalounded
aud be pretty likely 10 fall in with U.S.
Well. how do YOU think il worked? made
n ruarin' speech Tor Cnss: told EN- what
.rea, statesman mud grea, warrior he was:
and how he had proved the former by offer
ing to swallow all Mexico. aud how he had
proved the latter by breaking his sword in
n passinn; mud more than nll that, since
the nomination n, Bliiimore, he was tho
greatest Democrat in the country. And
now, saws ], nv friends, three cheers for
Cass, Constitution aud Calitorny. Well
they Gin three good loud cheers, md |
though, tina, nail was pretty well drove
and clinched. Then blacksmith, with
smuiiy nose, and leather apron on, gets
mp and sings out. mine cheers for old
Rough aud Ready" And, BY jingo, it
went like harricanc; fall twice as loud
and three times as many as tha cheers for
Cass Ind good mind Il cut and run,
aud give il all up. BIZ, n, lns, plucked
up courage and faced the storm. cnlled
ont to the blacksmith, and SAYS !, my friend
