DEAR SIR


The last ray Of hope Of the wings is extinguish-
ed. Their hopes and future prospects have fed
like the visionary dreams Of midnight, and disap-
pointed their fondest anticipations. The mail boat
OF this evening brings sufficient returns from Geor-
gia and Iadiana and partial returns from Michigan,
that settles the hash beyond all doubt Their de-
feat is az awful and overwhelming an victory il un-
expected to the democrats. Little did they think
or reflect upon the solemn admonition Of Mr. Clay,
who on being informedwhow was his competitor over
the great political race course, exclaimed, " We
must not fight him as Jimmy Polk, but like Ma
poleon or Wellington" These were words Of
living truth, uttered by that great Statesman, who
felt The importance Of a strong, active, powerful
and efficient organization Of the whg party in or
der to beat Young Hickory"


A rumor is in circulation, and by many credited,
that South Caroline, and some of the other Sourh-
ern States intend voting for Hon John G. Calhoun.
tor the purpose OF carrying the election into the
House.

slstant P: M General, in place Of JOHN w. Tyson.
ESQ.,, resigned


Hon. John g. Calhoun and family. X. K Cralle,
Esq Chief Clerk Of State Department, are at the
United States Hotel, instead OF at the National
Hotel, as mentioned heretofore, where they have
taken apartments for the season. This splendid
hotel, kept by Messrs. Tyler and Birch, erected
during the last summer is located in the most de-
sirable part OF the city, 10 second TO in its
pie accommodations, good tare, good liquor, style,
elegance, and every thing that is good, will, we
hope, meet with the encouragement and euccess
thar Its enterprslng and highly deserving proprie-
tors merit.
