DEAR SIR -


As the late result of the Georgia congressional
election has favored the Polk party by $500 malo-
ny in the popular vote, it may not be amlss to re-
port you the doings and future intentions of the
parties in the battle to come eff in November The
cause Of the defeat of the wings is, undoubtedly,
that they could not raise enough votes. The
Polkites here show good humor, and seem full OF
excellent spirits (perhaps brandy and still con.
tend that Polk will be elected. The wings, not
wlhstandlng their defeat, are up in arms again,
with the motto, disheartened, but not COZ quered ;
and also seem to take fresh courage from the elec-
tions in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, Mary
land, and Texas. This evening terrible furor
and hurricane Of uproarlous political excitement is
raised. The democrats are out, marching by hun
drsds, in procession, with torch.ights,. .cannons,
music, banners, and tar barrels Illuminating the
city, and playing Hail Columbia, happy land /"
The political thermometer IS not blood heat-should
It vary, look out for dissolution and the d. to
pay. The reports from the Cherokee country is
that the ballot boxes will be kept open until Mo-
vember-hat the Cherokeeswere still voting when
my informant left in haste, and that their nten-
tons were to stand by the polls until Polk was
elected. These people are fond OF polling, but un-
stable in their political opinions. The leading
spouters. wre.pulers and gamblers Of both parties
~ Georgia are making preparations TO send posse
OF reforming missionaries among the Cherokee
people, armed and loaded down TO the gunnels
with documents Of undoubted truth, prepared for
The occasion, to convert the domestic heather,
the Georgia barbara, ms, ignoramuscs, and cut
throats. Success to their great enterprise. Look
out, Mr. Bsnnett, for one OF the greatest reforma-
!lons yet in politics religion, humbuss Millerism.
