JoHs C. CALHous.-This gentleman has writ
ten a letter, in which he says: "If my friends on
both sides would regard me as taking no part be-
tween the two candidates, and standing on indepen-
dent ground, ready to support or oppose the sue
c~essful, as his measures may or may not accord with
the principles and views of policy which have long
governed me, they would avoid all misapprehen'
sion." The fact is, the gentleman is opposed 10
both, and decidedly in favor of himself.

The Bee has extensive sources OF
1t says-We can assure our friends that every
thing looks bright and cheering. So far as the 'city
of New Orleans is concerned, the strongest possible
reasons exist for the belief that Gen. Taylor will
obtain an overwhelming majority. In 1910 New
Orleans gave Gen. Harrison 933 majority; in 1874
she gave Ala to Henry Clay. We do not think
that, under any possible contingency, the majority
for Gen. Taylor will fall below that of Harrison IN
1910, and we have well founded hopes that it will
exceed it. The Locofocos concede us from three
to five hundred in the city; the Wings claim two
thousand. twill be nearer the Wing than the De
mocra,ic estimate. The city is in progress of active
thorough organization, and our friends are fully
aroused. The cause Of Taylor and Fillmore is NOV
ing steadily onward. Every day adds fresh converts
to our ranks, and if the canvass continues in the
same spirit, we have no hesitation in saying that
New Orleans will be the banner city Of the Union.
We have before US a mass of letters embracing a
correspondence from fully three>fourths Of the Pa
rishes. The tone of these letters is uniformly con-
fdent and cheering. The enemy may boast and
brag as they please. but we know that in almost ev-
cry Parish in Louisiana the Wing ticket will poll a
far heavier vote than that given in 1914. The
North Western District, which went dead against
us then, will exhibit changes almost of themselves
sufficiently numerous to ensure our triumph. We
speak by the card and cannot possibly be deceived,
unless the opinions of the coolest and most clear
headed Wings in the State are absolutely WORTH
less.
New YoRK.-We cali the attention of the reader
to the following cheering intelligence, from the Bos-
ton Atlas:
"a letter was received in this city a day or two
the State of New York, in which he states that Gen.
Taylor will 'haue a p~leuralty Of uotcs IN e0ery coun>
ty in the State, SAGE one"
PENNsYLyANIA.-An enthusiasm appears to eX-
list in many parts of this State, not a whit behind
what was felt when she gave her vote for Harrison.
The North American publishes more than dozen
letters, in the true spirit of men resolved. that vic
tory is obtainabIe, and that they will secure it.
Hear what a Wing says from Lancaster, the Wing
heart Of the State:
"Oid Lancaster county, the Gibraltar of the wings
in Pennsylvania, will in November next, give a
majority for Taylor ranging from 5000 to $780,
Many confidently assert that it will not fall below
5000. The news from every part of the State is
most cheering. Wing skies are daily Frightening.
The prospect of the Wings carrying the State is
daily increasing. The enthusiasm for General
Taylor is greater than it was for Harrison in 40,
when the Keystone went Wing"
