Letters.
| Then the coalition is failure. The Prairie Dog,
which shrieks and borrows in the soil, is q Black
Republican. The Owl is an American of the dark
/ lantern order The Rattesnake is the disunionist,
all venom at the mouth, aud rattle at the TAIL
/ Greeley is intent in the union of all these in the
next contest and has gone West to study the
habits of these types in the animal creation.
He finds it a failure, and will have to give up in
despair. He can unite Owl and Snake, or Dog and
Snake, but not all three. Poor philosopher, unfor-
tunate philanthropist! ALBANY Atlas and Argus.
The Baton Rouge Gazette and Comet (opposi-
tion) speaks of the nominations made here on the
4th instant as follows: @
Mr.. Landrun,, is prompt business man, Of I'M
#exceptionabIe habits. Gen. DeRussey is well
known to a majority of our citizens, having repre-
sented his district in the State Senate. He is a
clever courteous gentleman, with qualifications of
the first ORDER to fill the position for which he has
been named by his friends. We wish him success,
and only regret that it is not in our power to give
some better evidence Of it, by voting for him.

: The ST. Martnsve correspondent Of the B. r.
Advocate says that General Declouet Of St. Martin
has declined the offer to make him an indie.
pendent Democratic . candidate for Governor.
He was waited upon bya delegation of Bob-taiis
from New Orleans and their spokesman appealed
to him with all the eloquence he could command
But the harangue, like much similar clack, was
wasted. General Declouet is too sagacious te
play the fool for the amusement ofany such faction
The Leayenworth Herald, under the heading o.
, Give Kansas Her Due" says:
We have observed, on several occasions, thai
the Washington States, in classifying the eectora
vote for President in 1860, ,eckons Kansas on tht
side of Abolitionism What data the States hal
for this classification and degradation of Kansas
we are at a loss to divine. Kansas, before 1861
rolls round will be as firm, seadfast, and reliable
in the Democratic faith, as any State in the Union
/ Kansas is this day Democratic-her vote shows il
and at the next general election will give at leas
five thousand majority for the party Of the consti
tuition and the Union. We ask the States to scfate
kansas from the Abolition column.
