X. L., likes Cass best, and thinks his
State does, but -,I
"As Van Buren, would undoubtedly
contrive some plan TO defeat him in New
York, and perhaps in Pennsylvania, il
becomes US 10 inquire whether Gen. Cass
should give way or the party be defeat
ed.
Whereupon Mr.. Browne decides that
Gen. Houston is the most available can
dida,e. But he advises consultation with
the odd heads of the party it. Rhode
Island, especially Hon. B B. Thurston
IN C. elect who he says
"is our best counsellor. He has been
in pnlitics long; is cautious, shrewd. pos
sessed of much tact at correctly ascer.
tainipg the public sentiment, and gigeS,
when necessary, h'S money (and he has it
10 give) 10 secure his ends or his wishes.
These are all usually consistent with par.
'ty success. Money is tie great element in
Rhode Island" ............ .- ...
Aha! We have hitherto been some
what perplexed by the repeated election
of Mr., Thurslon to Congress from
strongly Wing District. We now see
through it. But Mr. Browne continues
in the same key:
Governor Allen will, think. without
doubt. aud from what he has said to me,
work with the national Democratic party,
aud tor its nominee in 1852 think,
that his own recollection may be SO
blended with cert ain matters connected
with the National Administration aud
Government, as To make tine State sure
fol the Democratic nominee for President
in 1852. His immense ,eealM and unsur
passed obstinacy and Hberality, would
render such result perfectly sure. in my
Opinun. 1t remains to be seen whether
those actively connected with him in pol,
itics will have the good sense to secure a
desirable result" ...... o..
Good so! We think we can see how
Mr.. Philip Allen. millionaire of Provi,
dence came to be the Democratic Gov
ernor Of Rhode Island. The milk in
that cocoanut is plainly to be seen thro'
the glass door which Mr.. Browne has in.
serted in the she'll.
Hon. Wm. r. King would prefer a
Northern candidate for President, SO that
he be thoroughly sound on the Slavery
question. Mr.. John A. Eastman of Wis.
consin. intma,es that Gen. Dodge is the
first and Gen Houston the second chuce
of that State. If either Of these should
be nominated, a long canvass will be de-
sirable; with another candidate, short
one would be safer.
Finally-'last scene of all this strange,
eventful history Mr.. Texas Donaldson
writes from Philadelphia to Mr.. Iowa
Greerlhe following letter, which we pro-
nounce decidedly the most candid and
interesting of the whole batch. How it
came to be published is mystery. for
this sort of letters is usually considered
too good to appear in print. However,
here we have it: so read and be wiser.--
This is clearly genuine production
the others are more or less dressed up
for the public eye Hear! hear! ..
PHuADgLPuIA, August l3, 1851.
DEAR GRGER:--I received a letter from
Texls to day, urgently demanding my
return to my plantation. and also one
from H. Ye0kum responding toour plans,
| | had hoped to have further conference
with you in relation to the consummation
of our plans for the call of the National
Democratic Convention. but you may as
well issue the call at once for the lst Mon.
day in June. From the tone of our cor.
respondeuce we have ample assurances
that the Convention will be with US. aud
be composed mostly 9f Houston men, aoso
VW oycrawe 0H OPpoSitto@, and secure our
oIjcct In regard to the platforms --arOid
all ncw tests, especially Land Rsform.--
Partly reatiirm the Baltimore platform,
oithout offending our Free Soil allies
who have pledged themselves in good
| faith to us--as their vote will be most
formidable, you may depend upon it, and
VIZ can afford To make few sacriGces OF
the South, where so rascible a disposi,
tion is shown.
If you could but prsoent tie passage q
Land Reform resolutions an Tie State
C0aUention Of IoDa, and other PORTIONS
of the Wost. then Walker Of Wisconsin,
could easily be kept in tie background,
and HoustOn's chances greatly mPro0ed
In stopping here, regret to learn
that the Buchanan interest is rapidly
gaining ground. think, however, our
well digested plans for the call of the
Convention will destroy all his chances,
the Southern Rights faction to the con-
trary notwithstanding. Van Buren, aud
CrosweIt's influence secures New York,
certain, and their friends everywhere =
Chase and Glddings may be relied upon
TO the utmost in Ohio, and Oc arc in hopeS
| to handie tie iOUes even in Massachusetts.
Gen. Houston, have the best means of
knowing. will be on himself shortly. 10

A word to our New York friends:
