LETTERS FROM HON ROBERT STRANGE
AND WARREN WINSLOW, ESQ
To the Tammany Society, New York.
Fayetteville N. C June 30, 18552.
Gentlemen : It is very doubtful vrhe
ther I shall be able to avail myself of your
most welcome invitation to participate in
the festival of the ensuing; anniversary of
our national birthday, at Tammany Mall,
on Mondays the 5th proximo."
I am greatly rejoiced to hear of the
renewed union of the great republican par
ty of New York, whose divisions have so
seriously threatened with ruin the whole
republican' party of the. United States.
Mieviii. as I do, that the destinies of
this great nation depend -'on the mainte
iiance or downfall of republican princi
ples, the first wish of ny heart has ever
been for their preservation, and all that I
own would be cheerfully divided to their
security.
Knowing, as every man must, . the
mighty power of the. Empire State, both
physical and-moral, in determining the
results of our presidential elections, it is
all important to every well-wisher of his
country that ihe whole of that strength
should be given to the support of the re
publican cuu-e a cause that, as'you just
ly remark, '"has never been defeated when
th republican party of the Union has
united and spoken the full voice of its
patriotic advoi-ates.'' It is cheering, then,
on the eve of one of the most important
presidential . elections that our country
has ever witnessed, to behold- the dense
columns of New York democracy - gatber
isig to their standard, and with the pi inci-plt-s
of 1T98 in their hearts, sending forth
the general shout of Pierce and King.
It cannot but strike terror to. the heart of
whiggery ; it cannot but energize with
iso.v life the republicans of other States,
ami cause -to be lighted up with brighter
fl.iine every altar of popular freedom
throughout the length and breadth of our
glorious Iurd.
I will', be with vou if i can. I woultl
like to bear from your glowing altar some ;
burning conk -with which to kindle more
intensely the zeal of our friends in my
own State- I long to. see North Carolina
once more where she propcily belongs,
among the foremost in the great republi
can army of the Union, and no longer
looked coolly upon, as one whose vote is
uncertain probably for the enemy. I
Hatter myself that the result of the ensu
inu election will realize this most ardent
w ih of my heart.
But if I cannot be with you in person,
my heart will be there, and you will please
consider me present in the lollow'ing sen
timent :
"The Empire State Her vote is the
sword of IJrennus in the political balance.
May it always be thrown into the republi
can scale !
I have the honor to be, gentlemen, your
obedient servant, -HO. STRANGE.
Fayetteville, N. C, July 1, 1852
Sir: K?i7ciiiems previously enteiv t
wil I prevent my acceptance of the invita
tion of the Tammany Society to unite with
its members in a rrand rallv of the demo- I
cracy on the approaching national festival;
and these engagements are imperative, and
may not be thrust aside.
Nothing could afford me greater satisfac
tion and delight than to meet in Tammany
Hall on such an ocasion and for such a
purpose. The anniversary of American
irtdependancc! What occasion more pro
per to devote to the welfare of one's coun
try the triumph of democratic principles?
What cause better suited to such occaison ?
Compelled, as I am, to forego such plea
sure Lean only add my feeble voice to en
courage and cheer on the indomitable demo
cracy of New York to renewed exertions
in the coming conllict.
If every democrat will feel and realize
liis own individual importance, and attach
the proper weight to his own personal ex
ertions the election of our gallant stand
ard bearers will be rendered certain, and
victory will perch upon our democratic
eagles, and the day when the late Balti
more Convention assembled shall be mark
ed in the future history of the country as
the era in which a reat party, forgetful of
past dissensions and sectional jealousies,
turned, for the sake of the country, to em
brace again, anil espouse once more its an
cient catholic, conservative, and constitu
tional principles.
The unanimity which prevails among our
friends throughout the country, deter
mination, in your own laniruaie, to burv
past grievances in exertion for the future,
foreshadow our triumph a triumph which
selves that the eyes of the whole party, in

the great northern liht id" New Hampshire.
Yery respect full',
Your obedient servant,
W A II 1115 N WLNSLOW.
Plantkh' Convention. We have
been requested by several Planters, from
the different Southern States, to call a con
vention of the cotton, sugar, andrice Plan
ters, and southern merchants, to be held
in Macon, Georgia, during the State Fair,
in October next. This convention is for
action, as well asdiscusion and consulta
tion The press of the South favourable to
the call, will please notify their readers.
Cot I on IJlant.
NOT WlNFItLD S.COTT BUT WlXGFIELD
Scott. He fore the Whigs run General
Scott any longer for the Presidency, they
s-iould learn to spell his name. William
II M acfarland, who presided at the Scott
and Graham ratification meeting at Rich
mond, Va., the other day, and who has
been intimate with General Scott since
bovhood, says that his first name is Wing
field. That little "g" makes all the
difference between winning a field "and
li ving from it. V think before the Gerr.'
'ets through this campaign, he will want
all the wings he is entitled to, and for
one we go for giviug them to him.- Even
ing Post.
SCOTT'S CHANCES for THE PRESIDENCY.
We commend to such of our "whig friends as
are oVer-sanguine of Gen. Scott's election, the
following very candid admissions contained in
a recent editorial in the New York Mirror, a
leading whig paper. The facts exhibited speak
for themselves, and the reader "att judge of the
justice of the conclusions which are drawn
from them. "
-ttVe have been at some pains to examine
the figures and see what the chances of the
two great parties, Whig and Democratic,
in view of : their present position, are.
We must confess that the hopes of a Whig"
triumph in November, are opposed by a
stern array of facts. Except in this State,
Vermont, Tennessee and Wisconsin, the
Whigs have not a Governor ; nor a Legis
lature, save in Kentucky, which offsets
the Democratic Legislature of Wisconsin.
In Congress, the Whig show is equally
bad nay, worse. In the Senate, against
23 Whijrs, are 34" regular Democrats
:mocrats ; (
a soilers, i
, against I
8 quasi. Democrats, alias Free
and 2 vacancies. In the House
78 Whigs are 140 regular Democrats, and
5 Free soilcrs.
Thus far, the account stands 4 Whig
Governors and ...Legislatures against 27
Democratic, leaving a Democratic balance
of 23 States ; jo'itit Whig vote in Congress
I I 1 against 174 Democratic, 8 Free Soil,
and L2 vacancies, leaving a .Democratic
balance, without Free Soilers, of G3, a
pretty fair working majority.
We have found it impossible to give in
tabular form a final item, to wit : the
latest popular vote of the states, which the
W higs have to overcome. A portion of
the States elect their Governors by Legis
lature, hence the popular vote of 1851 is
divided between Gubernatorial, Congres
sional, and other Elections. W"e have,
however, by going back to the Presidential
election in 1S48. in three or four States,
got an avenigeof the strength of the two
parties according to the latest test.
Leaving Georgia, South Carolina, Mine
sota, and Utah out of the question they
are all Democratic we find the Whig
strength to be not far from 1,260,000 votes,
while the Democratic vote stands about
1.440,000 leaving a Democratic balance
of 180,000 votes. We have not recorded
the Abolition vote of New York some
5000, as cast for Chaplin, nor the Native
vote of New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
some 4000, as cast at late elections. We
find also that, in 1848, had the Democra
tic party been united, as it now is, it
would have carried, even against Gen.
Taylor, Ohio by some 50,000, New York
by over 1G,000. and Pennsylvania, count
ing the Native vote that will now be cast
against Scott, by a small majority thus
securing the three great States, depended
on to elect Gen. Scott.
What reason, then, has the Whig party
for exulting too loudly over its chances.
Can it expect to carry a stronger vote
than General Taylor polled and that
vote, with the Democratic party united,
will be of no avail.

briiilit, and sliblt 07 trie utmost unity in
the Whig ranks, now shaken by Indepen
dent Movements in Georgia, Massachu
setts and elsewhere, and the determined
organization of the Native Party against
Scott, the re is 4)u tthe smallest chance of
success. We trut, therefore, that Whigs
who "spit upon Whig Platforms," &c. ,
will see that quite another sort of work
will have to be done to elect Gen. Scott.
SCOTT IN FLORIDA.
We cut the following article respecting
Scott's prospects in the Peninsular State
from the Floridian and Journal :
" The whigs about the Capitol are in a
terrible ferment. They don't know which
way to turn. Scott can't run in Florida,
and thia unpleasant truth is forcing its
way into their hearts. Hundreds of whigs
and some of the best in the party al
ready avow their determination to vote for
Pierce and King, who will carry the State
beyond a peradventure. We saw an intel
ligent gentleman from Jefferson a day or
tvvoawo, who said to us that he had met
but one whig in the country who would
vote for Scott; and we hear of similar bolt
ing in other counties around us. General
Scott is odious to the people of Florida, and
Mr Cable knew well what he meant when
he declared on the 3d of February that if
nominated he would not get fifty votes in
the State. He will probaly do better than
that, but a respectable vote in his favour is
out of the question. Many of the whigs
won't s'ippol t him, first, because of certain
recollections of the past connected with
the Florida war ; secondly, because of the
manner of his nomination, and the charac
ter of those who nominated him : and
thirdly, because, aside from all other con
siderations, he is totally unfit for the posi
tion. Here are reasons enough, in all
conscience; yet we hear it intimated that a
Scott electoral ticket will be run and every
effort put forth to get the vote of the State
in his favor. But it will be a vain effort.
The people will not swallow a pill thrust
into their mouths by William II. Seward.
The office-holders and office-seekers men
who would doubtless support Seward if
endorsed by a Whig Convention may and
probably will vote for him, but the final
result will leave them in doubt whether
Scott really ever was a candidate inFlorida.
Honorable. Gen. Franklin Pierce
was in the battles of Contreras Cheru
busco, Molino del Rey, near Chapultepec,
near Belen, and at Galita de Helen.
The correspondent who sends us a vile
libel, hinting that he fainted to avoid the
jig hi, must take it to other places for
publication. Gen. Pierce volunteered
his services like a true American, in vin
dication of his country's honor, and shall
always have the due meed of praise from
us lor that action. Phil. Sun, (whig.)
Granville. The Democratic ticket in
this County is as follows: For the Senate,"
N. E. Canaday; Commons, T. B. Venable,
W. II. Lyon, and J. M. Bullock.

element in the national councils, and they
feel the necessity of discouraging all anti-slavery
agitation, by opposing the election of any manl
for the Presidency who has been putfforwa
and nominated - through the influence of anl
slavery agitators.
The "Eastern Alabamian" speaks of the nom
nation as follows:
"Of Gen. Scott, the candidate for the
Presidency, it is useless for us to speak at
length. He has been Ion
before thn
country as the leader of its armies in tlivey ot the route of the above mentioned
field of battle, and he has acquired a worldy
wide reputation as the great captain of thT
aAe one can fr a moment doubt .his J
courage and military ability who knows (V

believe if he was accused, an impartf'
and well-informed jury would unanimous

tion is his supposed affinity to Northern

but we will stake our reputation as a

The Chambers Tribune remarks :
Col. McLemore brought the afili
i n or
intelligence to this town, from VViest
Point, yesterday, of the nominations of
Gen. riuield Scott, for President , and
Graham, of No. C, for Vice President!
Of course no expectation is entertaired

Counterff.iteus About. The Wades
boo (North Carolina) Argus learns that
on Thursday, the 24th ultimo, a fellow fal
ling himself Smith, and who said he jvas
from Richmond county, passed through
the lower part of that county, having vrith
him a number of counterfeit bills on the
Bank of the State of North Carolina, of the
denomination of four dollars, several of
which he succeeded in passing off on his
way. The counterfeit is very base,,'; and ,i

Negro Troubles in Canada. The
St. Catharine's (Canada) Constitutional
gives an account of a riot which recently
took place in its vicinity. It was train
ing day, and an officer having awarded
some praise to the blacks for the manner
in which they went through the military
exercise, some of the whites took offence
at it, aud treated the blacks with derision.
This led to a general row, in which the
negro domicils were attacked, the negroes
driven to the woods for refuse, and their
village reduced to a mass
of ruins.
Scott and Seward. The New York
Herald thus vividly portrays the position
of Scott and Seward : "Seward has
linked his fortunes with Gen Scott, and
the one is destined to sink or swim with
the other. It is unfortunate that the old
soldier should have fallen into the hands
ot a friend and adviser so dangerous and
unprincipled, so utterly the selfish dema
gogue, as VV. H. Seward. But so it is
Hence the Southern whig manifesto.
Hence the discontent in the ranks of the
Northern whig union conservatives, with
the nomination of Gen. Scott. It is not
because he is held unworthy of the posi
tion ; but it is because, in elevating bun,
Seward is elevated, and jrains another
step forward towards the formation of a
great Northern whig free soil party, with
himself as their candidate, in ooen de
fiance of the combined p:uvcr-of he
South. Execrating and spitting upon the
whig platform, as the Seward faction are,
there can be no mistake in their ardor for
the election of Gen. Scott- If he is elect
ed, his administration is to be victimized
to the ambitious and treacherous disunion
designs of Seward and his gang."
Northampton. We are glatl to learn
that our friends in Northampton have a
full ticket in the field Gen. Thomas J.
Person for the Senate, and Messrs. J. B.
By num. and B. F. Lockhart for the com
mons. Gen. Person is well known as an
able debater and sound politician, and
Messrs. Bynum and Lockhart are young
