supporters as follows
Buchanan's telegraphic letter to the Con.
yention of Hards and Softs at Syracuse has
Disguised and mortified the Democrats here
beyond measure, and some declare outright
that It is hoax. A member of the Cabinet
was heard to remark that it would lose Blu.
chanan thousands Of votes at the North, and
not gain him single one at the South The
egotistic twadde about such an important
event y e. the prospect Of electing Old

Of fanat'clsm, come with bad grace from
