PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 90. 1856.
Since my last have made full inquiries as to
Delaware, Montgomery snd Chester Counties
also partial ones a. to Bucks. Delaware and Ches-
ter bave been most thoroughly "stumped" by Mr..
Joseph j. Lewis of Wostchester, M. McVeigh,
Judge Russell, Mr.. Balch, and other speakers. The
feeling for Fremont and Dayton is growing daily
stronger. At one point Mr.. Lewis was informed
that there was but one Republican there. lie en-
treated this solitary child of Liberty to call meet
ing. 1t was done, and Mr.. Lewis had an audience
of more tkan eight hundred persons. thriving
Fremont Club now exists there.
But the great event is that John NJ. Read OF
Philadelphia makes tonight his first campaign
speech at Westchester Mr.. Read long held the
most influential position with the Democracy. Be
ing Free. Soiler, he was compelled to separate;
but sought to preserve through this contest the
retirement which he has 80 strictly maintained Tor

state will have the same effect as Mr.. Reads. HIS
skill in party warfare his profound knowledge Vi
political history, his broad, statesmanlike views,
his sagacity and integrity, combine to make nun
valuable as a friend and formidable as a ioe.

By the way this sentiment OF the DemoeTdt6 GoV-
ernOr has aided us not little. Philadelphia me-
chanics are too Independent to rest satisfied with
being put on the same footing as slaves, as they
were in effect, by the speeches at the Buchanan
failure the other day.
In Montgomery, careful oversight of that county
and the portion of Philadelphia which, with 1t,
makes up the With Congressional District author
ICES the most decided expectation that Mr.. Null
yany will be elected. In Delaware and Chester
the friends of Freedom are full of hope.
In the WITH District, the contest is peculiar MIR.
Phillips (Buchsneer) has for years aspired to seat
in the House of Representatives. He is the init
mate friend of his Republican antagonist, Judge
Kelly. Many BOstOnlans will re member him. The
contest between them would unquestiOnably result
in Kely's victory. 1t is rendered doubtful BY one
Mr.. Foust. an American candidate, who has not
strength enough to do anything more than impair
Judge Kely's chances. Mr. Foust had better con-
slider well his course. Judge Kelly has many friends
who regard Mr. Foust as mere catspaw in the
hands of the crafty Mr.. Phillips. These, together
with all of that strong band of Republicans who
love the principle for the truths sake will not bear
very charitably Judge Kellys defeat at such
