WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA.

IA Republican writes us from Pittsburgh protesting
vehemently against the averment of Philadelphia
correspondent that Edward Bates ia the first choice of
Pennsylvania. He proceeds:
"Tbe fret choice Of large majority of the Repub-
licsns eff Western Pennsy lvania If, firmly believe
Gen. CAMERON the next choice, believe, will be,
Indeed am sure that Mr.. Seward would be the very
first choice of Western Pennsylvania if there
Pennsylva in the field. And L know that with
him we can make as good fight as with any other
man that can possibly be nominated. After Gov.
Seward, Gov. Chase, Col. Fremont, and Cassius M.
Clay, would suit at this end of the State; and their
strength with us would be in the order that have
named them. With any of these gentlemen we can
make good fight, because our people know them,
and know that they will not fail in the day of battle
and of war. They will vote for such men as those,
and only for such. ALLEGHENY.

To the Editor Of The N. y. Tribune.
There il that in the various opinions expressed In
favor of different gentlemen for the Presidency,
published in The TRIBUNE of the 18th, that auger
well for success. 1t is the Willingness of all to abide
by the voice of majority To accept the nominee o.
the Convention to be held at Chicago; provided ne
is Republican, indeed, and elect him too. May
this spirit direct the action of every patriot within
this Union Among the distinguished names advanced
one that calls forth thrill Of enthusiasm, such as
believe none other can. l mean JoHs G. Fremont.

and therefore are respected and esteemed. But FIRE.

To me Editor Of The N. Y. Tribune.
SIR: After reading the various opinions on the Pres
idency contained in THE TRIBUNE of Saturday last
determined to give my humble view Of the matter,
which you may use as you zee fit.
My business brings me into daily and intimate con-
tact with large number Of groceIs and storekeePs,
and as have been in this business number OF years,
have learned the politics" Of large majority of
them.
Deeply interested in the success of Republcanism,
have taken the trouble the views of these
parties On the candidates likely to 20 before the Con-
veption. Among Republicans there are many warm
supporters of Mr. Seward. All admit his claims,
while general feeling obtains that, in the event Of
his nomination, he could not be elected. To those
not strictly Republican, but who have voted our tick
ct any other candidate would be acceptable. In
fact Outside of the Radical Republicans, there exists
strong and bitter prejudice sgainft him-upjusty,
believe; still, 1t exists.
While such is the feeling toward Mr.. Seward, find
many DESTROYS for the nomination of Banks, Bates,
Clay, ard others, and general willingness to support
our stand bearer OF sc, john G.. FREMONT, whose
name is victory. .-

Cedar Falls and Minnesota Railroad.

We believe it is now a fixed fact"
that the work of grading this road is
to be Immediately commenced in earl
est The forty thousand dollars Of
Mitchell county bonds, and the sixty
thousand dollars Of Floyd county
bonds arc to be expended in grading
the road in their respective counties
the coming fall and winter and such
other means as the company may have
will be expended at the lower end of
the route from Cedar Falls northward.
We have these facts from Mr.. Onion,
Of the firm Of Edgerton & Co., of Bos,
ton, who are the contractors. Mr..
Onion told us that if he could obtain
private subscriptions to the amount of
forty five thousand dollars, Zone thou
sand dollars per mile, he would at
once put under contract and finish up
the first division of the road, from Ce-
dar Falls to St Charles, and have the
cars running to the latter place some
time next season. He proposes TO
take lands and all kinds of farmers
produce which he can make available
in building and equipping the road.
We believe there arc many non-rcsi-
dent landowners who will gladly ex-
change a portion of their lands for
stock in the road, for the sake of en-
the value Of their remaining
lands. Courage men eff Floyd coun-
ty ! One more effort, and the rcaliza-
ton of hopes SO long deferred may at
length be yours.
