Dear Sir-I thank you lnrssaurs ol h.
| 9th inst--I have apprahendad all ial3rig
that the Tammshy Regency would carr,
Ia united delegation from New Yotk NJ
Charleston. For whom ? Dopalas i
know, is confident; but YOU NAV rel,
on it that Mi Buchanan is himself i ..at
didate INSTRUMENTATION, and all his pag.
ronage aud power will be used to disstp
point Douglas and all other aspisanis
Our only chance is 10 organize BIZ dis
tricts, and either whip The enemy or sene
two deiegations.s !. =
If that is done or not done, we mus
still rely on a united South. All unitec
South will depend on united Virginia
ana pledge! yop that she, at least, shall
be unit, lrginia|a u il, and persist
ent and firm on : sound platform Of pro
Eteetlon to all persons, Of popular ,srsu.
squatter sovereignty. she must rally L
her support gill the South. The Soutf
cannot adopt MI. Douglas platform. 1
1 is a short cut totall the ends or Black Re
/ publicanism. He then will kick up hi.
heels. If be does or don't he can't BIZ
Nominated, and the main argument agains
his nomination is thai he cant beeleetet
lifnominated.. III he runs an independent
candidate, and Seward runs, and / an
nominated at Charleston, i can beat them
both. Or, il squatter Sovereignty ISL.
