R. S. Blackwell, a Scott Wing eiector in
Chicago, Illinois, in 1852, has written a strong
Buchanan letter 10 The Rock Island Argus, in
which, after stating that he had always acted
with tie Wing party, and that none Of the
platforms Of the various organizations suited
him, says:
"Yet between several evils | must choose
the least. The race is evident 10 be harrow
ed down to n contest between hG. Buchanan
and Colonel Fremont. The rest OF The c0ndl-
dates may be regarded as scrub nags. WIN will
probably be Withdrawn before the day arrives
for The struggle. The two prominent candi
dates are democrats. and have acted with the
Democratic party heretofore. II o Democrat

teTdted one-an origlnai-to q seceder, upon q
single issue. The Democratic party, as al
present organized, | conceive 10 be more con-
sentative and national in their faith than the
newly organized patty, 18th Colonel Fremont
at its head. The latter is too radical 10 suit
my views Of loyalty TO the Union, the Constr
iuiion, and tie ordinary a OF the land. -
The Constitution is a platform broad enough
for oll 10 Stand upon; and il is the duty ofevery
citizen 10 vote for that man nor the chief exec
utive officer of this nation whole be lieyes will
lend his influence 10 The neservalion OF the
Union, and a faithful and confidential eXecu
ton OF its Constitution and laws. That man,
in my humble judgement, is james Buchan'

The Hon.E B. Webb, Wig candidate for
Governor in Illinois in 1852, has written a Ne
braska Democratic letter 10 a friend, which
has been published, the last paragraph Of
which read as follows:
AMY friend, 'conie out from among Them Il
you ,oon't come out. not only | will not help
you, but whenever there is a fair blow 10 be
struck and can strike it, ] wiH strike agains
the "Republican" party and its issues"
The Rock Island (Ill.) Argus also publishes
a letter from James Chapman, a leading Wing
in Illinois, announcing his intention to support
the Democratic candidate as the only national
ticket in The field. In the course Of his able
letter lie says:
~ ain aware the other pOtly have capital for
buncombe speeches they can talk widely OF
the stnr-spangled banner aud blood dyed plains
OF Kansas, The pulpit, an 'er parte' rostrum,
caa-speak boldly OF freedom of speech; the
pure re lieion OF the gospel may be forgotten 10
make place for disquisiiion upon gutta percha
caneS--the Bible be traded for Shapes rifles
and Summers speeches; and thus wild fanati-
cism for a time stalk through our land. But
the day is not far distant when
Truth crushed to earth shall rise again
"The people will soon awake TO The folly OF
%pinning their faith on the skirts Or political
wire pulIers or visionary theologiahs; they will
see and feel That their money can be more ju-
diciouSly used in their own household and bu.
siness than in The purchase Of Starpe's rifles,
Beecher's twaddle, or lining the pockets Of
