ents. Hon Charles Andrews m. c. elect, OF
Maine, is a warm. admirer of Gen. Houston,
and thinks Maine would give him a large ma
jagity. Hen Robert Strange, Iex7uplted states
senator Of n. g., don't care who the men are
so tlIey abe but sound on the slavery question:
Geofse Pau. of Iowa, thinks that State would
prefer Cass. but will 30 for any lit man. Mr..
Georsses 4, browne, party leader in the late
Ieyislature of Rhode Island, likes the Michi-
,ran General best, and thinks his State does,but
"As Van Buren, would undoubtedly con-
.riye some plan to defeat him in New York,
and perhaps in Pennsylvania, il becomes us TO
INQUIRE whether Gen Cass Should give way
or the party be defe lted' =
Whereupon Mr. Browne decides that Gen,
Houston is the most available candidate. But
he.adyises consultation with the old heads of
the party in Rhode Island, especially Hon. B.
B. Thurston, who he says
as eur best counsellor. He has been in
politics long; is cautious, shrewd. possessed of
much tao. al correctly ascertaining the public
sentiment. aud giees, when necessary, las mon
ey, (and he has Tito give to secure his ends
or his wishes. These are all usually consist
eat with party success. Money Is tAs great
element IN Rhode Islond" J" l,.s s,.ss. s.
Ahal We have. hitherto been somewhat
perpIexed By the repeated election of Mr.
Thurston 30 congress from a strongly Wing
District Weznow see through it Mr.. Browne
continues in the same key: ~ ~
Governor Allen will, think, without doubt
and from what hezhas said to me. work with
the national Democratic party and for its
nominee in 1889 think. that his own rec
objection may be so blended with certain mat
tiers connected with the National Administra
tion aud Goserhment, as to make. the State
sure for the Democratic nominee for President
in 1852. His igsuaemse scedtt6 and uasurpass-
edtobstinacy and ii5srality. would render such
aresuEt peffsetEy sure, in my opinion. ltre-I
mains 10 be seen whether those actively cons
nected with him. in politics viii hare the good
sense 10 secure avery desirable result"
Go ID Sd Il We think We can see how Mr..
Philip Allen. aaillioaare Of Providence, came
to be the Democratic Governor Of Rhode Is
land The milk in that cocoa nut plainly to
be seen. through the glass door which Mr..
Browne has inserted in the shell. 5g,
Hos. Vim. r King would prefer North
ern man for President, SO that he be thorough
ly soundson the slavery question. Mr. John
A. Eastman of Wis, intimates that Gen. Dodge
is the first and Gen Houston the second choice
of that State, If either Of these should be
nominated, q long canvass will be desirable;
witllsnother candidate, short one would be-
safer. - - n
