Gen. TAYLOR Droppea.

We have, from the tirst, believed that
the wing leaders were using Gen. TAY.
LoR's name to inveig'e voters into the
ranks of whiggery. The old hero had
identified himself with the war, and won
fame as wide as the world, by his bril-
liant achievements as a general. As q
soldier, his popularity was unbOunded. and
the wing leaders conceived that their par.
ty might absorb portion of that popular
ity, if they presented his name for tho
Presidency. The project was carried
into execution all over the Union. Every
federal print huzzaed for Old Rough and
Ready, the greatest general living. With
his name at the head Of their columns,th
fact that they were opposed to the war,
and advocated a refusal of supplies Of men
and money, could not be thrown up to
them by the democracy. The only reply
that the wing papers in this state ever
made TO this charge was that they were
the supporters of General Taylor, and as
he was a war man, it was ridiculous to
accuse them Of being opposed to prose-
cution Of the war.
We predicted, when his name was first
presented, that he would be thrown over.
board as soon as the fall elections were
over, and our prediction has already been
realized more fully than we anticipated.
Paper after paper has dropped his name,
until but mere cerporal's guard is lefs
to advocate his claims, and nearly all of
the remaining few place him second to
Mr.. CLAY. The New York Express, re.

New YORK ELEcTIoN.-The wings

what might have been anticipated, when
the divisions which existed in that State

result is great, though they have beaten

1t appears that the boilers have OBJ
tanned their call for mass meeting, from
the press of the True Democrat. This is
as it should be, and indicates prudence
and economy, as it is notorious that the
leading spirits of that faction are particu-
larly interested in the welfare of that pa.
per, and that large sums of money was
advanced by certain ''leading gentlemen, .
to adm the establishing of that press.

will be seen that the popular vote of this

The idea Of a system of mass meetings
may be pleasing 10 some. but such sys.
tenn will only give the better chance for
designing men 10 be successful in their
secret and selfish manoeuyering. Every
place where mass meetings have been
resorted to BY the party, the final result.
has always been the triumph ofthe wings.
Therefore, let democrats beware how they
lend aid TO these men TO defeat the party;
this can be the only object, for they must
be aware that the great mass ofthe dem
ocraey Of the county, will stand by the
time .honered usages of the party. Dem.
ocrais, treat the attempts of these men,
who are the getters up ofthis movement,
and who have shown themselves to be
unworthy Of the party, as they deserve !!
and the small number who will join in
their proceedings at the meeting, will be
rebuke to their glaring Inconsistencies.
In the notice referred to above, it will
be seen that we are charged with having
''keepers" We would not refer TO this,
for we consider such false and calumnious
insinuations as beneath the notice oil hon.
orable men, but for the nefarious and de-
testable designs that these men have in
view in making such charges. They are
made with view to cause the people at
distance, to believe that we are controlled
by the influence of others. But this era.
ven and ignoble attempt of these men TO
place us in a false light before the democ-
racy of this county, will avail them moth.

That we have sided with any clique or
set of men since we took the control of
this paper, we deny. We have been gov.
erned by higher and nobler objects--the
good of the party. We know the demo.
cratic party only as a unity, and we will
endeavor to the utmost of our ability to
uphold the system by which its success is
best insured. The clique over the way,
if they were governed by truth and hon.
esiy, would blush to make the charge they
have, and which they kno,0 is false.

The Church and the War,

The following resolutions were adopted by the Old
School Presbyterian Assembly at It's recent session in
Richmond
Resousd That in view of the present posture of our
National affairs, the continuance of the war, and its
dreadful results tbe earnestly recommended to all our

peope, and to engage in lcVent and continued prayer
that as individuals and as nation we may be for
gven that there my be a speedy, righteous and ami
cable adjustment Of all existing dicutes with other
nations; and that may be permitted to enjoy with
oat interruption, the blessings of peace.
R3so'0si, That all plstoTs aud all others preaching
steadily, be requested to bring this subject before the
several Churches in which they minister, the second
Sabbath Of June, or after as it may be conven-
rent and to urge upon our people the duty pointed ont
in the foregoing resolution.

Piety and Justice,

The following from the National Era, is one
of Winters keencst aud best His pen is as

No one can well doubt that in matters civil,
military, and religious, this is a great country,
and that Gen. Scott is representing livery appro-
priately in Mexico After raining down fire upon
Vera Cruz for four days and nights, buryng one
thousand women and children under the ruins of
their dwellings, blowing up crowded hospitals,

But, as if to leave these Mexican barbarians
utterly without excuse for their contumacious
persistence in opposing the disntercsted and
purely philanthropic designs of our government,
we have recently had the most convincing proof
that the hero of Vera Cruz is as lust as he is
plous. 1t seems that poor scoundrel of a free
negro, who had wandered out to Vera Cruz as a
sort of hanger on upon the army, after witness

AT meeting OF the New England Anti-Slavery
Convention, holden in Boston on Thursday week, the
main topics discussed were the dissolution ofthe Union
and the churches. The following resolution was in
roduced by Parker Plllsbury. ~
"ReSO!Ued, That this convention congraulates the
country particularly the northern portion Of it, the
declining state Of American religion the absence Of
the supremacy Of the clergy over the people, and the
reyiyng OF pure religion in thoant-slavegy and other
movements Of the age"
The following resolution was adopted alta late meet
ing Of the American Aut-Slavery Society, on motion
of Mr.. Wendell Phillips:
RcSoDcd That it is the duty Of every American CT
tlzen to give his sympathy and aid to the Ant-Suverv
movements and The FIRST dpty Of every citizen is 10 de-

out of the wreck we may confidently expect State
which includes in nober form those principles of in
dependence which once made us the admiration of the
world.
a. We dare and do, most emphatically deny,
what is directly charged in three separate articles in
the paper from which the above is taken that thu Lib
erty Party ever promulgated or entertained the Anti
Union and AntiChurch notions put forth by the Gar
rson school. On the contrary, the Liberty Party is
pledged to the peaceful ami constitutional abolition of
the greatest foe to our Unon and Church, before which
they must inevitably fall if this eaven of despotsm
and heathonism be not destroyed And we demand of
Mr. Moore, as an honorable opponent to either eract

should be published as evidence against the Liberty
Party, when the editor Of the Glzetie must know, as
does every man in the Free States, who is possessed
of moderate degree of general intelligence that both
the New England and American Anti-Slavery Societies
are of the Garrison school, and even more hostile to
the Liberty Parry than are the Wing or Democratic
