Friend CLARKE
The political elements 10 be rolling gradu-
ally along. The campaign for so has fairly com
menced and trial is being made 10 bring the
"hoSSuthrdge" into the ring 10 make political cap
ital out of. But it is my opinion that those friends
who rally round kossuth will soon be out the ring
Gov. kossuth is undoubtedly good hearted aud I'M
pretending man, but he has got inlo wrong hands
/ The Americans su:e TO run everything into The |
ground that looks like the reception ot foreigner,
and carry it 50 iaru- TO make a complete Iuna5p9g
out OF it, as they have done with kossulh IN New
FORK. Il Is thought he viii not meet with a very !
unanimous reception IN this city. The Southern |
members death on hlm---pl least on his cause. |
He leaves New ork to day tor Philadelphia, and
will probably arrive here the first OF next week he
will then most likely, proceed TO Cincinnati, where
they intend to lonize him and then learn his in ,
tentlon IS, nitcr visiting w other places 10 return
TO Eurepe to be in readiness to launch upon Hun |
gary nj any favorable moment But enough Of this. |
! President making continues to grow warmer. Ii
now thought that Gen. VIM q. Butler ,of the for
ncr firm Of "Cass & Butler IN AS is 10 be the can
didate Of the opposition. Col. Benton has gone home
u bring into the rear his STATE, and the West, for
which he expects to be made Secretary OF S,ate; and
the Van Durens will made an effort to wax up New
York and the North generally, and Francis z Blair
the other remaining portion. There seems to he 4
strong move making in Buffers e ,or but II will be
hard matter 20 run the little giant Of the West"
Judge Douglass, or the track. The Judge Wi. be
h1id fellow to beat for he is not behind on pulling
ropes &c. The Wings are ojet for they have good
b. men and true enough when the times arnye to

poets continue to inprovc iy- the Wings all seem to
