New York, Septi 10th, 18 10.
Gentlemen: How it is, or why it is, that
I receive tlie Western Carolinian im-ariafly
and miss tlie Messenger, tlie Whig Banner
and tho Western Star of Liberty ; at least
once a month, I cannot tell. Per Imps some
o the "pets of Amos might j if they would,
inform mo; till tliey doll doubtless
remain a mystery.. ; ,M
If 1 properly Understand the riscablc
properties of my own il mtur I think
they wore in a sort of seosonublo mood just
about the time tliat the " returns" (O, what
tcrror lhaf word of late carriers with it !)
came 111, or out, from old INortn Carolina.
Well done! I say well done, because 1
always propliecy after events take place.
My disiKisition does not lead me uito pout
cat life, but my rejoicings were audible,
when 1 heard of the just, sensible and won
derful change that bad been so signally
wrought, and so suddenly too, in- my own,
mv native Sfafe. May she -long maintain
her present position, and stand as she gen
erally has, a shining pillar in our beloved
Republic. There is a problem that I can
not solve, wliich is strongly maintained by
our Loco brethren, viz : It is utterly impos
sible to ba a democrat or republican, with
out voting for Van Biiren ! I."e., I cannot
solve it to tho satisfaction of some of the
" sticking Democrats of our city. Hurra
for." refinement" and ' sound learning!
Tho way that some States " put in their
votes" of late is entirely " bevant" the
" cakelashun" of all the profound arithme
tical number swelling " Democrats" iuthe
land. They could not, in this city, for
some davs, figure out that North Carolina
and Louisiana made two, when added to
gether! and when Kentucky was added,
tliey by a miglitv tfirt, succeeded in pen-
c tniting their pericranium with the ends of
nywswill'nuiisi lcsirVvivasv4iMtyv-JrisfiS'rj- i.M-ss-iMVirw
their digits, iTiuMiuTTiiig tiicif eyes, till l.iey
were ntirelv lost not, as the poet sjivs
" In wonder, love and praise,"
but, in wonder,, amazement and confusion.
But now, " tell it not in Gath !" Just ima

Locofoco Maine ! Yes, Maine ! f She has
gone for jMJIdTip," ! ! ! Rejoice and give
thanks, for the East is coming, too! Out
of two-thirds of the State heard from, the
Whigs have gained, certain, two Congress
men, six Senators, and thirteen in the Le
gislature, and twentv-eight hundred in the
popular votc7since 1833 f " Do you hear
that ?" 'Fnis State, no Whig pretended to
lay any claim to, but now they arc in strong
hopes of electing Kent for Governor, and
the probability is flattering. We shall ex
terminate7' tlic Locos almost as completely
by November as was Pharaoh and his host ;
he left nothing behind ; neither do the Locos
witness Swart wont, Price & Co.
You may chalk New York State down on
your press 15,000 majority for Harrison,
and you will be as sure of being" right as I

Massachusetts and New Jersey arc safe

way, and it is best to be on the safe side.
The great State Convention held at Sy
racuse is just over. 1 he number was esti
mated at 65,000.' Our city delegation had
their ball called l Amos's baby-waker" out
with them. .Tlie people in this parfcof the

It is likely that their irritation lias extended
