best for Mr.. Hallett to send circular to the
members of the committee, calling them to-

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. l3, 1851.
DEAR GREER: received letter from
Texas, to-day, urgently demanding my re-
turn to my plantation, and one also from II.
Yoakum, responding to our plans. ! had
hoped to have afurther conference with you
in relation to the consnmmation Of our plans
for the call of the National Democratic Con-
vention, but you may as well issue the call
at once for the first Monday in June. From
the tone Of our correspondence, we have
ample assurances that the Convention will
be with us, and be composed mostly of Hous-
ton men, ,cho ,cW opsrawe all opposition, aad
secure our object. In regard to platforms
avoid all new tests, especially Land Reform.
Partly rc-afiirm the Baltimore platform,
without offending our Freesoil allies-whc
have pledged themselves in good faith 10 us
as their vote will be most formidable, you
may depend upon it, and we can afford tc
make few sacrifices Of the South where
so irrascible disposition is shown.
Ifyou could but prevent the passage Of Land
Re form resolutions in the Nate Conre'tion ot
Iora and other portions OF the West, then
Walker of Wisconsin, could easily be kept IN
the background, and Houstoi's chances great

our well digested plans for the call of thu
Convention will destroy all his chances, tn
Southern Rights faction to the contrar,
notwithstanding. Van Buren, and Cros
