On my way here heard but little of politics from the
whg partisans. Occasionally remark would fall from
one, when other would take up the subject adverse
TO the sentiments of the frs and then would have
regular snarng battle between the Seward and the sill
ver-gray representatives. This variety witnessed
three several times on my way from Washington On
another occasion, whig had the hardihood family TO
hurrah for Scott and in response met dozen senorian
voices with round hurah for Pierce. These were

my journey
On arriving here three days since found placarded on
the street corners doors, taverns, and at the post
office, haBdbs and the usual devices for the collection
