A LETTER FROM Mr.. BYLES.


comfortably. The next best thing to q successful
You Republican fellows would like well enough,
suppose to carry the election next November;
but the next best thing to carrying it, conceive,
is to know that you can't. 1t must save you vast
deal of trouble and some money. II s settled
thipg-an accomplished fact. Bell aud Everett
are to be the next President and Vice-Presdent.
All the Southern States will 90 for them. Pennsyl-
vaDia and New-York are sure cards; and as for
Massachusetts, she will roll up large majority for
them as she did for Gov. Gardner when he was first
chOscn-wlich was something like 80 600, believe.
THIS i am assured of on the best authority. 1t is
the deliberate sense of State street. Perhaps not
as to numbers but decidedly as to oeight, as ques
tons are decided in the Quaker meetings. Especial
" since the Ratification meeting in Faneui Hall last
night. l am sorry now that the Baltimore Con-
ventiOn didn't nominate Mr.. Webster's Statue. 1t
was always my first choice, nomination emf
nently fit to be made, and / have urged my prefer
ence in all proper ways / think this suggestion of
mine better even than that of the sage who ex-
claimed, when told by delegate, newly arrived,
whom the Convention had set up, " Bell and
Everett But why didn't you set up ChOate 4"

but he hasn't been dead long"

movement ever since it was born. Indeed, i may
be said to have helped rock It's cradle, for attend

ness to attend that Convention as Jedediah Cleish-
bOtham had the honor to sit in the General Assem-
bly, of the Kirk of Scotland" meaning as an au-
ditor, in the galleries thereof" But think have
heard say that the magnetism of the gal
lery is sometimes not absolutely untelt in the
body of the house at Convention times. Be
this as it may, yOn viii conceive that was reOiced
TO find that the Movement was grown biz enough
TO run or at least to tOdde, and even to talk
which it did last night. To be sure it was Friday,
which is an unlucky day, and there had been Bell
hung on wheels, that went tOlng about the
streets all day. A superstitious mind-which L
thank God mine is mcknight draw an evil omen
from this selection of Hanging Day for hanging
their emblematic President and making him toll
his own kneI, as the signal for his friends to as
semble themselves together. 1t did seem a little
like discOunting funeral at six months; but it

Of course he was colonel or sOmething-=was Him
enough TO say that he would not himself dissolve the
Union, if the Republican folks should whip next Fall,
but others would, and that would be the inevitable
result. That of course, is the only ground to 90
upon. Or, To change the figure, the Danger of Dis
union is the cheoal de batGiUe on which alone
Messrs. Bell and Everett have any chance of riding
VIGOROUSLY out of the battle into the White House
To be sure, it is spawned, wind-galled, broken
down, old hack; but it is all they have to trust

Mr. Hilard among them, gave the poor old

will submit TO this authentic correction and conduct

Union that they can save their bacon. beg you to
understand, that though Interested spectator of

are pleased TO style it, mnot yet committed to it,
Not that have not had inducements held out TO
me. But my excellent friend, Mr. Stephen Foster,
who launched political party ofhis own this week,
also having freely offered me the Secretaryship of
State, when il comes INTO power think it best to
lie low and wait for events In fact and strictly be-
tween ourselves think Mr.. Fosters chances bet
ter than Mr.. Bells
( | must say however, that think Mr.. Everett
has been shabbiy treated by this party. After all
the work he has done, all his mOrtuary Orations on
all and singular dead men, after being to Washing

more to ask him to play second fiddle to John Bell

expected TO bear. Second fiddle, indeed Not
more than tenth, should say For l apprehend
the ePresidcncy, in point Of real weight, ranks
after the Speaker Of the House all the Cabinet and
all the Foreign Ministers Of the first class. 1t was
an affrOnt to be resented by his friends, and not
swallowed as dog swallows pat Of butter If
the Convention did not choose to nominate him
for President, there would have been no
ground of open complaint, but to give that nomina
ton to Mr. Bell and then c0ntemptuOusly toss him
the Nice-Presidency, was a little too bad He has
not been well stood by. He has much reason to
complain OF his friends, if he have any. Of course,
he would have been ridicuOusly weak as q Presi
dental candidate; but he might have been spared
the insult Of the cePresidency BY the way

services TO Washington 10 those of Albert Smith to
Mont Blanc good one i may say do for it

readers most of them, know that Albert Smiths
Lecture on the Monarch of Mountains was for
many months standard London entertainment, by
which he coined money in heaps. Lord Brougham
was asking some American about Mr.. Everett, and
