Mn. Row Dear Sir In perusing the Re
publican of the I'd instant, 1 discover letter
purporting to be written by DIR. G.. f. Hoops,
of Morris township, in which he says, sshaying
never learnt to play wooy-head, he would
make but poor member of the zigzag party
After great many spicy remarks, he proceeds
to assert that ssthe laboring portion of the De-
mocracy of Morris are not willing to dance to
the tune Of the Crawford county system of
nominations" Now, / think any party that
can dance to the tune of the Cincinnati plat
form, popular sovereignty, extension of slave
ry over free territory, can certainly dance to
the tune of the Crawford system. But here
permit me to say, that his great boasted par-
ties practice does not correspond with their
precepts. The democratic press from Maine
to Louisiana are resounding with the cry Of
popular sovereignty, at the same time their
great, boasted champion in the Presidential
chair has already sent an army to snbdue Utah,
for the heinous crime Of governing their own
local affairs. have never yet conformed to
the teachings of the Cincinnati platform, or
the doctrines of popular Sovereignty or polyg-
amy but, according to that doctrine, if
STAKEHOLDER in Kansas has right to have fifty
sswooly -heads, Brigham Y cung has right to
have fifty wives. 1t is allpopular sovereignty.
This Morris township Spin, . as he sees.pro-
per to style himself, says he "ncver bought
ont a pop7gun battery, or voted shanghai
ticket in his life, thank god suppose the
doctor was right, for ga pop gun batteryss
would not be capable of contai ming the amount
of gas blowed out By him in his letter !. it
must have been a Packer or a Pill battery,
which will certainly explode at the October
election and carry him and his party so far up
Salt River that they will never be able 10 get
back till they turn shanghai. At the close of
his letter, the doctor states that at the October
election Morris will present an unbrol<en front
for Packer and tie whole Democratic ticket.

Mr.. WMMoT.-From all parts of the State,
we have the most cheering intelligence Of the
impression making by our friend Mr.. Wilmot
on the minds and hearts of the people. His
rare argumentative ability, his vast fund of
politico-historical facts, his intimate acquaint-
anceship with distinguished gentleman, on
all sides of politics-his possession of folios
of interesting personal reminescences-his
simplicity of manner and wonderful urbanity
of disposition-bis frank, outspoken way with
the people, all, in harmonious combination,
render him one of the most remarkable men
of the day.
Pennsylvania may well be proud to claim
such man as WILMor as her son, and happy
will the State be, when she can point to him
as her GovERNoR--as the worthy successor of
JAMES POLLOCK, whose excellent administra-
ton of State affairs will be continued by Co
vEnSoR WILMor.
The peoples nominee is treated with mark
ed respect in the country, aye even by the
friends Of Mr.. Packer. His political enemies
know the worth of the man, whom party
duty compels them to oppose.
But, what shall we say of the opponents of
Democracy who are doing their little worst
against WILnor7 Why nothing, simply be-
cause no language we are acquainted with
has words which can ately express
our contempt for them.-Spn..
