Southern Wings side begging him to write,
and with Seward and his associates on the other,
begging him not to write, was exceedingly amusing
and life-like. Passing from " gay" to "grave" he
spoke of the immense value and increasing glory of
the Union and pointed TO the great Democratic party
OF the country as the only party which had shown
Itself equal to the task Of harmonzng and perpetual
ing the Union according to the Constitution, by their
administration of public affairs. He also alluded, in
terms of commentator and eulogy, to Buchanan,
douglas, and others who have been named for the
Presidency and spoke with confidence of the trium phi
Of the Democracy in the approaching contest.
After Mr.. Dobbin had conc lnded, votes of thanks
to the officers of the Convention were passed and
Mr.. McRae. the President, took OCCASION before ad-
journng the body, to address them the importance
OF the contest about to be commenced. He exhorted
the members to return to their homes determined to
work for their candidate for Governor-to organize in
all the Counties most thoroughiy-to put down dis
oganlzerso plant themselves on the platform of the
Convention, and to explain it to the people and de-
fend against all attacks-to TRUTH right and
JUSTICE and to labor in the good until victory,
eagle-winged," should sit upon our banners. Wish
ing the members pleasant trip to their homes, and
all personal prosperity and happiness, he declared the

Esr anything they said. The same game has been played by their last national con.
 venaiOn, but with how much suecres inc 1 2nd of November must detprmine. The ] gentleman seems lO me io sfand. on this subject. somewhat in the position of the dTIFnken man. whO.sees every one reeling and staggering about him hot Ii,Ile thinks he is tue one that is in the sad predica. mant. instead of the ones he looks upon with so much adherence.
 With regard to the views which he ex- presses res pecting the Tariff. I have not time tn, this communication to discuss them, but if he wishes to go into a dis cussiOn of that question, heswill find me ready to discuss lt with han. think ii nn easy matter to convince any reasonable man, thatshis assertion, that we need no Tariff. is. entirely absurd. @
 But there is ono ether reason that he gives. which seems to occupy prominent place in the ,gentleman;s mind. which I will give passing notice. He says, if recoIlect right, they (the Whigs) never werein power but 30 days. and l suppose ne 'er will-he again. and then says, one could aot be blamed for leaving aSsocia, tions whea they pay so small dividends here I am afraid he has unwittingly, let the secret out, why he left the Whigs, and went over to the Locofocos. He probably did not succeed in gaining as n uch political emolument at their hands, |as he wished, and was afraid he never should, so he went over to the Lncofocos, hoping they would dobetter by him than the Whigs did.
 But have already extended this article to greater length than l intended when l commenced, and fear have occupied too muchof your time, so will close byisub scribing myself. ' v .Medtcms.'

 from tho greatest Co the least, he Is ae,

 It was his habit in Mexico to require
 the attendance of the chiefs of every de>
 partment every evening at his quarters,
 where he inlerrogated and conversed about their yndtyldrMl matters. From the .luar-

There was an officer appointed to a new regi- ment, as colonel who had large influence wrthal as politician; and who ca,rfe out opposed to General Scott politically and otherwise.

 Those who carp about particularly in small matters should remember what grand results they have accomplished: and they should remember, too, ,hs. this habit pf such vital imporla nee to commander, like all other habits. cannot be put on and oft at pleasure. It may exhibit itself in matters wholly unimporlant, and person it in one of such renown, will be amazed. forgetting entirely out of what great basis it sprung.

The pros poets of the speedy extension of this great work, from the valley of the Nauga,uck, to which point it is already under contract to Fishkill. where it will connect with the Erie Railroad, are very good. The people of Fishkill and the vicinity have moved in the matter, and will be prepared, at the. proper time, to bring efficient aid to the project. The EIie Railroad Company have deep ln~ terest in it, and are ready to secure half a million of dollars towards it. No rel- able estimate has been made. we believe, of the cost of constructing the road from Naugatuck to Fishkilb but we supposs that it will be,under, $l,50O,ooO.
