Ga, says The Presidential canvass is progressing

written letter to some one in Tennessee, stating

per, but my friends around here like the doctrines
you teach so well, they want still more UNION AND
AMERICANS, and 1 send herewith for another club,
and Fexpect still to do more for your most excellent
paper. BRECKENRIDGE is gaining every day from
both BELL and DOUGLAS ranks. Squatter Sever
eighty and BELLS Past Record will kill both of
them in this section. Some real good Democrats
were at first inclined to 20 for DOUGLAS, but since
they have learned his true position, they have been
returning to the true fold know of but one Dem
ocrat for DoUGIAs in this section and may the time
soon come when none will be left to advocate the

| your valuable paper. Our cause is progressing

A good Democrat writing from Augusta, Ill, says
"The BELL men here are generally going to vote 70
LINCOLN, and they say he is the next best man t
BELL as BELL stands no chance. Ofthe $1,000 vote
given to FILLMORE, a strong BELL man gives it as hi
opinion that LINCOLN will get 10000. Thus they &C
and n large number of DOUGLAS supporters las

jority over last years vote and you may tell tn
Democracy to work strong and constantly or Gle
will take the banner for the largest gain of an
county in the State Right kind of talk tina
Giles friend.
