A Glorious Letter,
The following letter from q sensible and
consistent Old Line Wing, in West Ten
nessoe, to u relative Of his in this county,

the present canvass opened. Read IT,
Whigs, Americans, Democrats read 1t
with care
Willow BANKS, Aug, II, 1856,
Nv Dear Sir;--Your letter Of the 9th
inst, was received to-day, and ! hasten to |
show my appreciation Of your kindness by |
writing at once.
You write as though contingency
might possibly occur which would induce
YOU to vote for buchanan. No such event
can occur to me, ! have surveyed the
field, and even il Fillmore should be beat
a thousand times over, could not so hu-
initiate myself as to vote for any democrat,
much less such hoary hypocrte and jug
ger as Buchanan lie has b2en nearly
forty years in public liic what has he ever
said or done that was magnanimous or
wise What is he but trickster a
weathercock Il trimmer, moral coward,
parasite, the hatterer of jackson aud the
slanderer of Clay, without the courage to
deal like man with either of them Z
What is the Cincinnati platform but a
swindleY 1t endorses the Kansas bill to
catch the poor silly South, and then its
candidate puts on it his squatter sovereign.
ty construction to save the North. The
platform is dose to be swallowed by all
the democracy; but, in the language of
old Benton, "to be p,lhed up dgdm' by
those that don't like it, They have al
ready puked up the Internal Improvement
ingredient, by overriding poor Pierces
two yetos. And the Senate has just puk-
ed up the pro-ioreign ingredient by adopt
ing Adams amendment to the Kansas bill.
! They are death on the Tariff, and yet they
nominate high protoctionist who voted
for the tariff of 1924, 1923 and lS42.--
They have hydrophobia of Federalism,
and yet nominate the man that denounced
Jefferson, Madison and the whole Denoc-
racy--in mure bitter terms than any man
now living. They profess great love for
the poor people, the dear people; and
nominate an aristocrat who wanted to re-
duce wages to the European standard.
The rascals make great professions of
respect for old line Wings | understand
their tactics, aud they can't fool me.
