WHEELING, Sept. 90, 1866.

MI. EuitoI.--
Saturday night was lively one in
this City. Mr.. Bol,en Caldwell Of louisa.
ma. addressed the Young Mems Fillmore
Club, at American Hall, in an able and clio,
euent manner, for about two hours. He Is
one of the patriotic body known as the
"Wbig National Convention,p and he de-
clared tina, never, in oil his political life. had
he seen such unanimity and enthusiasm and
harmony in any body, as was characterized
in the Baltimore Wing Convention. Dele.
gates from 26 States, and not one dissenting
voice! How will that contrast with the sche.
ming crowd that nominated Ten Cent Jim
my? Mr.. c. pledged his State for Fillmore
by large majority; also Alabama. After
ne wound up, MIR. Henry Echols of " heel
ing was called upon. He makes no preten-
tons TO being en- orator, but being firm S,
consistent man, and quite an old man, the
Boys, MS he calls us, delight in his council.
No man can entertain us Young Americans
more asreeably than can MIR. Echols. like
myself he went, believe, with the Demo.
cratic party until they sold out to the Sec.
tionalists, and then joined the true and on
~ National party, whe now have for their
Standard bearers, Willard Fillmore aud An.
drew Jackson Doneson. In their hands
the Union is safe.
Let me here inform you, Mr. Union, that
so far as the Panhandle is concerned, Jimmy
Buchanan is out Of the question. For in.
stance, on Saturday night A. F. Raymond
Esq. was to address the citizens ofWhcelinp
on the measures involved in the present
canvass. Now all have to say about IT is,
that had stranger been present to hear the
address to the "ctizens Of Wheeling" he
would have formed the opinion tina, Wheel.
ing was rather small place! was not .here
myself; but heard Wing say that there
was not over 40 in The Courthouse; thinking
this rather small, inquired of my roommate
who is strong but consistent Buchaneer, s.
he told me there were not over IS or 100!
So will split the difference and say SSH
Democrats actually left the Court house be-
fore he was half through, saying they could
not swallow this young convert to the faith
as he has been too long in transitu, or in o.
Their words, in state Of Jeticecniiy. The
Democratic party cannot ge, up even show
here, but look ont for the Fillmore meetings.
II you are not there early, you cannot get u
teat. -. ...... ..... .... e.. ..
Next Saturday is a great day in Mounds
vile. II. Winter Davis, OF Baltimore, and
several others will be there. The Fillmore
ties are going from here en- mdsse. They de-
sign counting that meeting by acres! Ii YOU
are there, look out for the Wheeling Fillmore
Club. To morrow (Tuesday) evening, we
have meeting at The Court house. GEORGE
A. PEARRE, Esq, Of Maryland, " i'll address
the meeting. The days Of 1910 are outstrip-
ped. The people are more enthusiastic now
for Fillmore and Done!son, than they were
for Tip and Tyler. May the good work 60
brayely on until the 4ih Of November, when
! feel confident, that Fillmore, the "Wash.
ington like President" the "Model Presi-
den',' will be triumphantly elected.
