uYou NAV rest we'll assured, Messrs. Editors,
that Cass and Butler will carry this Stale by a
handsome majority, in spite OF The efforts oi one
or two iactious politicians about Montgomery.
Those out OF the Sale may think On they rely on
Wing accounls) that these gentlemen are rum
ing the prospects oil our Democratic nominees;
bnl | can with truth say that they are doing
much more 10 ruin themselves very etfeciually
with The Democracy than 10 divide or distract
lha, party; tor, as far as my observation ex-
tends, never saw a party more united than
ours is in this Stale. OF course the Old Do
minion will not swerye from her principles al
This hour, liter having fought so often successful
~ The good fight. Wishing The party success,
and yourselves much good will"

"Cass and Butler will receive the undivided
support Of the Democracy of this county.
Knowing the devotion of the nominees 10 their
country, their national and constitutional views
upon the subject of slavery, and regarding them
as The EN- odiments of those Democratic princi-
pics, which, through long political life. have
been the lamp of their footsteps, the Den ocra-
tic party of the country will as F.rRIoTs,
SouTHERSERs and DEMOCRATS, give lham that
warn support which they SO richly merit. i
know of but one who has heretofore voted with
the Democratic party who will not support
them. have heard Of several Wing, isome Of
them prominently who will not supportthe Tay
lor ticket, refusing to do so on the ground. that
by giving their support TO one unidentified with
any political creed, they would be virtually
abandoning their own, which they have SO loEg
regarded as necessary to the political salvation
Of their country, and which they are unwilling
10 sacrifice 10 mere availabiliy-an availability,
which, if successful, may, for aught known TO
them, be suicidal TO their party policy. I"

"The Republicans in This region understand
Gen. Taylor very we'll; and many Of The Wings
were not pleased with his NOMINATION. and some
will not support him. The political iaualicism
which distinguished the Wing party in 1910, Ia,
no exis ence here al this time. The fact is, The
Democratic policy has worked so well Tor The
country, and has so completely falsifed the pre-
diclions of its opponents, that | verify believe
many OF Them wonid quit !hcir party, were il net
