WASHINGTON, Oct ~, 1856.
On my return to this city, after an absence o.
some time in Pennsylvania l expected to fnd tho
Buccaneers quite jubiant over their recent VIC
tories in Pennsy yania and Indiana; bu', to my
surprise, find it quite the reverse and Is h mat
ter of impossibty for me to decide which OF tho
three parties wear the longest faces. There is
evidently no enthusiasm among the members OF tho
Democratic party. They look disappointed, as
they really are, fer they fully calculated upcn at
least 10, 900 majority aud the leaders here, before
the Gle ,ton, bet largely on that majority. They
are assuredly Disconnected about something, and
they BY no means talk confidently of carrying the
Presidential election in the State Of Pennsylvania.
They sometimes accidentally acknowledge that It
was their money that did the business, and they
now rely on the prestige Of rtctory to carry them
through the Presidential election. Some VI their
most prominent leaders in this city said to me over
and over sgain, before the late election, that he
Republican party or Union ticket, carried ths &ets,
it rould be because re had more money thas tAss
party. This am willing to certify to and give
names, if necessary.
As an evidence that they are no way confident Of
carry ing the State of Pennsylvania in tho Preslden-
tia election, would state that telegrsphc die.
Forney to the effect that men and mOoey are stu
wanted 10 secure the State, aud that much hard
work is yet to be done. On the strength OF TINS
dispatch new tax has been levied on tho CLERKS o.
the rate Of three doars head, and regret to say
il given much more cheerfully than either OF tho
other assessments, because they are new some NJ
tie elated with the hope Of success.I
Another very significant fact Of their spprehsn-
sions il, that tie Pennsy yania clerks, who were
dispatched some weeks previous TO the State elec-
ton. 10 stump and canvass the State, and hsdre
turned to their Official duties, have been again sud
denly ordered back to Pennsylvania and msuyof
them left this morning and others are to follow To-
morrow.
The Fillmore men Of this city are very in6igusa!
at the course psrsued by SandersOa of Philadelphia,
and are heaplag Goals Of vengeance on his head
There are but very few Of the Fillmore mea Oh tina
city who do not prefer Fremont as then second
bOce, and would most cheerfuny vote fof hun W
defeat Buchanan, Southern aud prO-Slsyery as tney
sre in their feelings. Yours, sc.
