/ Dear SIR. :dt'aan 's a5s''st''s y
It SIS not in my power to give you just now
anything very definite as to the probable re-
suit Of the coming election in this State, still
[ may venture on giving You. my personal
impression which may not be uninteresting
to you.
MY first is. that Gov. Fenton is going to
be beat. | predicate my. opinion upon. the
fact, that Mr.. Weed and lis many warm par
ticular friends are against him, and there al
SO seems TO be a general disafeetion in the
Republican party throughout The State to-
wards him. Besides the Rail Roads gener-
ally are out Of huinor with him for using bis
veto perogative little too freely to suit their
| own particular interests. Yet his success or
defeat will, think, depend very materially
whether his opponent Mr. Hoffman receives
} the cordial and entire support Of the, Demo
cratic party, or something near it.
Roscoe Conkling Of the Oneida Congression-
al district, will be beaten, as Mr.. kellogg his
opponent, Conservative Republican, is a
very popular man with the masses, and has
J the material to make a good and successful
fight The defeat of Conkling and Thad.
Stevens should be hailed with joy by every
honest man in the country. The country in
all it's ramifcations wants peace, harmony
and good will, and the sooner we have it the
better. The Government was not instituted
or ordained for the purpose of perpetuating
! the power Of any party, on the basis of sec
tional bitterness or animosity, no matter what
may be the cause. Differences Of opinion as
to the mode Of conducting the affairs Of Gov
eminent will always exist, and as long as they
are regulated by the letter and spirit Of the
Constitution, it is not likely any serious harm
will arise. But when any one branch Of the
Government shall setitselfup as supreme, as
| Congress has done during its last session, then
there is danger that Constitutional guarantees
Of certain rights will. be swept away and the
