AN ACS4hIAN 1ALACE.-ITtnCeL iCc0s
enstein's residence at Vienna is speci-
men of the immense cost of some Of the
Austrian palaces. A correspondent of,he
Newark Advertiser gives the following
account Of it:
"For couple Of hours I wandered
through apartments filed with the most
costly and luxurious furniture-remindiny
one of the fairy palaces described in the
Arabian Nights mirrors covering the
whole side Of room, chandeliers of rock
crystal and gold, floors of polished wood
lain in curious mosaic, stationary of Ca
riara marble, bronzes of rare workman
ship, the walls covered with rich silk and
gold brocade, ceilings Of immense height
painted in fresco and arabesque, staircases,
halls and columns Of polished marble and
gypsum, mosaic tables, &c. In a word,
the interior decorations of this superb
palace cost 100000 forms, or 1000, 900
dollars--it far exceeds any two of the
hundreds have seen, and is superior TO
that of the Emperor's in splendor. Its
princely inhabitant has an income Of
upwards of ST, 100000 yearly, and is The
owner of ninety estates and palaces. No
subjects of Austria can possess more than
that number, unless he keeps up stand
| ing army to be controlled by the govern.
ment. The Prince, therefore, contents
himself with his ninety, not caring sup;
pose, to pay too dearly for an additional
one" ... ..a

A Speech Gen. TAYLOR.

We listened, on Wednesday night last, to .
speech from Jos. A. Ramage, Esq, Of st. Clairs
sville, better known TO the people of this coun'
ty as the author of the celebrated "oats argu'
ment" on the tariff The speech of Mr.. Ramage
was certainly curiosity. He commenced by say.
ing that there were three candidates for the Presi
dency--Martin Van Buren. Lewis Cass, and Gen.
Zachary Taylor; and as it was generally reckoned
that Gen. Taylor was the weakest of the three, he
would speak OF him. He then delivered eulogy
upon the Generals military character and servi-
ces, lauding him to the skies for his brilliant sue
cesses in the "unjust, unholy, and damnabe,"
Mexican war--as the wings have uniformly de-
nominated it. sH.. rt. .ns. s..,. "a.
We have no fault to find with MI. Ramage for
his eulogy of General Taylor--we admire the Gen.
eral for his patriotism and gallantry as much as any
one but is that all that is necessary to fit man
to occupy the chief executive post Of the greatest
nation on the earth! .......t
Mr.. Ramage denied that General Taylor was
partizan. He must certainly have forgotten that
the General has just been nominated by the "uni.
versal" whig party as their captain and chief, and
that, as matter Of course, that party never would
have nominated him if they did not believe him to
be oftheir faith. Mr.. R. repudiated the idea that
Gen. Taylor would bo supported on account of
his political opinions. THIS. so fer as we were
able to judge, was not relished very well by the
wings in attendance. who would like to have it
90 abroad that Gen. Taylor is as good a whig as
Henry Clay. For our part. they may have him
for whig, or no party candidate, just as they
like. We 60 for principles. and not men. If they
90 for men, and not principles, let them do SO.
Altogether, we consider the speech Of Miriam
age decided failure--and failure which the
wings themselves felt ,e- s-. l3.H

The nomination OF General Cass fol
President and Butler for Vice Presi
dent has given the greatest satisfaction
in this region Of country. The excite.
ment grows stronger and stronger. We
have this day raised a beautiful young
hickory, and hoisted a Cass and Butler
flag upon its top. All is right here.--
Virginia is safe, and no mistake. Mark
my word, General Taylor will be worse
beaten in Virginia than Henry Clay
would have been. His letter, where
he says he will be the candidate Of no
party, democratic, whig, or abolition,
proves to every democrat that prece-
dent of the abolition party running a
candidate would be dangerous prece.
dent. must now close by relating a
little incident that happened in our liz
tie village. The stage brought news
that General Taylor was nominated by
the whig party. Well, the wings ex.
ulted tremsnd ous sly, declaring that the
success Of their candidate was sure.--
This excited the democrats, and a sub.
scription was drawn up to raise hlc-
kory pole and flag; and SO forthwith
every democrat subscribed, and two OF
three wings united with them. Well,
sir, il W ould have done your heart good
to see the wings throw their heads.--
Says one wing to democrat: thought
you promised to go for General Taylor.
He replied, ! did say so, provided the
Baltimore convention nominated him,
and endorsed him a good democrat
He could not support Q man who de-
clares he has been forty years in the
service of his country, and further de-

ed at Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where it appears
as editorial:
I here is a structure standing on a rock in
the English channel, called the Eddystone
lighthouse. 1t lifts its lantern more than 90
feet above the high water mark and when
storms arise, it is lasned by surgcs more fnri-
Gus Than assail any other structure erected by
human hands. High up, above its calm and
steady light, the angry waters shake their foa-
icy names, and bending over it hang suspend
ed in Il fearful liquid canopy. But when the
storin-wind ceases, and tho veNt waves once
more subside, there stands the lighthouse I'M
harmed still, and its tranquil light streams out
calm and steady as before. The political tenn
pest which has been so long raging about the
head Of Mr.. Fillmore, can be compared, in Vi
olence, oRly to those natural storms which as
sail this celebrated tower. The waves Of cal
umny and invcetive have dashed themselves
against him in vain. One after another they
have fallen back impotent at his feet The
storm has expended itSelf-is force is utterly
exhausted, and there, still, stands Mr.. Fill
more uninjured by its rage. We are proud Of
our candidate for the Vice-Presdency. Firm
as the Eddystone lighthouse, impregnable as
the Rock Of Gibralter, he is proof against ev-
cry vioence-he cannot be overthrow, and
he cannot be conquered. C.
