Mr. Editor—One of my Loco-Foco neigb
that paper publishes about the Whig_s, I lend
irn my Gazette and borrotv his paper.
I've just been reading what the Farmer
says about the VVhig County Conxrention.
My nephew was a member of that Conven-
tion, and when he" got home he told rue all
about it. And he said that they all agreed
without a dissenting voice, to ‘support Mr.
Osborne and Mr. Ferry as the Whig candi-
dates for member of Congress and Sheriff.
And it ‘will take more than twenty Bridge-
port Farmers, to make me believe that any
Whig is not satisfied with that nomination.
[have alwa._i/s been :1 democrat. I never
would be dictated to in my vote, or jeered out
of whatI thought was right in politics, to
please any oflice-holder, high oi‘ low. I al-
ways went for “the greatest good of the
greatest number,’-’ and as I knew the gentle-
man nominated were good ’Whigs, and old
fasltioned .dei_i;g,c_i'at_s to boot, I warft a going
to kick up a row because the Conservatives
had noininated them first. I should have
been glad of it, they had been popular
enough to l_ia.y,e got every vote in the county,
and I guess they ‘will get most all of them.
There’s Dr, Butler, as good a VVhig as
ever broke bread-—he was the Conservative
candidate for Senator in the 12th District,.loiig
enough before the Whigs nominated him.
But I don’t believe the Vllhigs will abandon
him for that. I’m for putting down this
plagu y Loco-Focoism at any rate, and shall
be glad to master all the votes I can that will
help to use it up. I should like to know if
it's, 8. democratic principle to try to keep
every body from voting our ticket, who
didn’t vote with us last year, and ha’n’t al-
ways beena Mlhigl I don’t hold to any
such doctrine. Let every-man vote as he
thinks he ought to, I say. And if he votes
for good staunch Whigs this year, for the
fir_st time, instead of trying to pick a quarrel
with him because he ha’n’t always voted so,
I for one am happy toggive him my hand,

should it be my privilege to give a vote to
place him in the Presidentialchair,I should
value it asathe proudest act of my li_fe. I
state further, that as between Gen.'Harrison
and Mr. Van Buren, I could not for it mo-
ment entertain a feeling of hesitation. Could
I under any circumstances, be so faithless to
my own convictions of duty. and to the party
that supported me, as to vote for Mr. Van
