81 Houstonism seems TO have been in

part OF them, and, OF course, something
of The same sort is hshed out of a
portion OF the respondents. Hon. ChdS,
Andrecs NJ. G. elect Of Maine IS a
warm admirer OF Gen. H., aud thinks
Maine would give him large majority.
Hon. Robert Strange (ex-U. s. SENATOR
of N. c., don't care who the men are,

Gen Cass, hut will 90 for any iii man.
Mr.. Geo. II Brownc (pnrly leader in
the late Lcgislature) of Il. |. likes Cass
best, and thinks his State does, but
as Van Buren, would undoubtedly
oontrive some plan TO defeat him in New
York, and perhaps in Pennsylvania, it
becomes us to inquire whether Gen.
Cuss should give way or the party be
defeated"
Whereupon Mr.. Browne decides that
Gen. Houston is the most available
candidate. But he advises consultation
wth the "od heads E" OF the party in
Rhode Island, especially Hon. b. b.

1852 think, in fact, that his own
reelection may be so blended with GER

to make the State sure for the Demo.

Finally -"ast scene Of all this

Donaldson writes from Philadelphia to
Mr.. Iowa Greer the following letter,
which We pronounce decidedly the most
candid aud interesting Of the whole
