Dear Sir ~ thank you for yours Of the
sth instant. have Apprchended all along
that the Tammany Regency would carry a
united dele sa,ion from New York t. Charles.
ton. For whom7 Douglas. ! know. Is
confident Ju, you may rely on IL that Mr..
Buchanan i.him.eli a candidate for nom
nation. aud all his patronage and power
will be used to di.appoint Dougla. and all
other aspirants. Our only chance is to or
rsnire by districts. and either whip the en-.
envy or send two delegations.
Iithis l. done or not donc,wc must still re-
ly on n united South. 4 united South
mus, rely upon unipd Virginia. and ]
pledge You that she, at least. shall he I'M
il. Virginia a unit. and persistent, and firm
on sound platform Of protection to all
persons OF popular r,rns squai'er sover'
eighty, she mus, rally 20 her 'uppor, all
the South. The South canno, adopt Mr..

all the ends OF black rcpublieAni'm. lie
will then kick up hi. heels. II he does or
does or does not. ho can't be nominated,
and the main argumen, against his MONT
nation i that he can't he elected II nomina-
ted. II he runs a. an independents candi-
date. and seward runs. and AIN nominated
at Charleston, | can heat them both. Or,
II ,quat;er sovereignty isa plank OF the
platform at Charleston, and Douglas Is
nominated. the South will run an ndcPcn'
dent candidate on protection principles, and
run the election into the house. Where
then. would Mr. Douglas bc1 The lowest
candidate ON the list. II have the popu'
lar strength a. YOU suppose. II will fix the

OF success.

faith, be glad OF his influence, and would
do nothing 10 impair. and could no, justly
reject his kind and but you may rely upon
IL that am neither completely, nor at all
IN the hand. Of Mr.. Wood, or any otheI
man Who brca,hcs. lie has always beer
friendly TO me, and AIN to him, but al
ways on ipir and independent terms
There l. nothing but our relations whlci
would keep alooi any friend OF either. III
knows as we'll a. any one can tell him, tha
his main influence is in the city OF New
Yors. and Judge wha, you say OF III
country influence is correct. But ! Au
counting all the time without, New iori
and don't fear the result. | am depending
solely upon open position OF principle, in
dependent Of all cliquos, and dciying 81
corners We will overwhelm opposition il
Virginia, and her vote wall be conservative
and national.
Atall events, I shall Away. be glad L
hear FROM you, and ari yours truly,
