Phila Dec: 24. 57.

My dear Sir,
You will [?]
by reference to the Pennsylvanian
of yesterday, that we 
had an overwhelming 
demonstration here in favor
of the Adm or against
Douglass & Co: [Wilsn] suc
-ceeded (I think) in
[?] the [Battling]
Opposition [?].  Judge
Lenoir [presided]. By the
by he informed me the 
night of the [meeting], that 
he & [?] [?], the 
[mayor] of this [City] [?] 
They wishd I visit 
Richmond the 23d July, 
& beggd me to accompany

[head].  I think it [probable]
I [shall] do so.
     Govr Parker
[wishes] to be [as] [quiescent]
[on] the [Hangar] [issue] as
possible.  The []
[now] is that his
friend Judge [Black]
is to be the [attorney]
Genl of the state.  He
is well [inclined] to [give],
for I have []
with [news] [on] the 
subject, a day or two
ago.  The "Press is firing
into Hunter & "[] [],,
     The arrest of Genl
Walker by Com: Paulding
will [make] [a] [stir] I 
should think.
     You are quite
right to stand [still]

[VERTICALLY IN LEFT MARGIN:] 
The D[] of [Detroit] [arguing]
[I] [hold] a [great] []-[][nearby]

where [you] are now.  You 
have made a good
[position] [] [on] [this]
Kansas question, & by
your [Know-nothing]
[victory].  [Just] now the
[active] Southern Party
[has] the [] []
[South]; but the day of
[reaction] will come again.
The Country now [perfectly]
understand [your] [History]
[] [particular] [as]
between you [there] will
be no [battling] with
[secys].  Take care of
Virginia & the South.
     Yr friend [try]
