WHEELING, VA, Sept. Is, 1856

Dear Slr--I hlnkinS that you
and your numerous readers would like
to know how the cause Of the Union is
prospering--or, in other and more ap-
propriate words-progressing, | have
concluded to give you a sketch of the
Panhandle, and then a bit of general
news. . HH
The days of 1910 are cast entirely
in the shade! Never was there as much
enthusiasm at any election, as at the
present time. Why sir, all We have TO
do is to start verbal summons, at 3
o'clock, and by half past Z we have
500 or 1000 true American patriots
congregated together for the purpose.
of hearing a speech. The people ap-
pear to be anxious to hear the truth
especially tho Americans. Tho Pan
handle is all 0. K. How goes the war
in other places? In this Congression.
al District, l hear of some few persons
who have made the remark that they
believe Fillmore to be the best and
most conservative man in the United
States, but that there is no chance of
his election! Therefore they will vote
for Buchanan to defeat Fremont. Now
Mr.. Editor, / look upon this as decid-
.cdly lame. Men protesting to be hon
est and true to their party and their
country, protesting to be talented and
far-seeing, to thus sacrifice their prin-
ciples and perhaps their country, is too
ridiculous to bear passing notice
Here in old Virginia, which was never
known to vote for any other than q
hoeofoco, since the genuine Democra-
cy was cast aside for talented man
TO turn his coat for the purpose of de-
fs&ting the Black Republican candi-
dates, is little like the man who built
q pen out Of four inch scantling, for the
purpose Of ponning his young chick
ems. Perfectly ridiculous .
Now, Mr., Editor, | propose to cx-
anime tile chances Of Mr.. Fillmore, for
the next Presidency. 1t is conceded
by all parties that ''the press rules the
roast that whichever way the press
goes, so goes the election. The Con-
rev, Jersey City, has taken down the
'sBuck and Brack" flag and hoistcd
that Of Fillmore and Donclson.

Thus the ball is in motion. l can
give hundreds Of others, but | am al
ready taking up too much room. In
Ohio, where, two months ago we had
but two papers advocating the cause of
Fillmore, we now have 27! In Cali
fornia We haze 22papeYs for Fillmore,
/ for Fremont and 3 for Buchanan -
firmly believe that after the votes are
counted after the election, they will
run in about that proportion.

FILLMORE and Buchanans speeches,
