TAYLOR IN MAssAcHUsETTs.-A correspondent Of
the New York Tribune, writing from Massachusetts,
says;
al am told that in the city of Worcester, polling
in an active canvass about 17O0 votes of both parties
that 1000 voters already pledged for free
soil; Senator John Davis, ex-governor Levi Lincoln
both resident there to the contrary notwithstanding
they going for Taylor, who will get two to three hun
dred votes there; the usual wing vote being about
1900"
From this it appears that nearly the entire free
soil vote is taken from the wings.

Butler issued orders for tie march Of Gen. Worih's
division the 9Th Of the 50 me monih-ihat on the
9th. Gen. Worth writes TO Gen. Scott and reports his
division in motion. Z; will also be seen by referring
to letter from Gen. Taylor dated Camp near Vic
toria. Jan. Is. 1s47.' that he knew nothing Of the
order until the 18th of the same month, after the
troops had passed Monterey on their way to the
Rio Grande. Instead of passing Gen. Taynr's quar-
tiers they did not pass within 200 miles of old Rough
and Ready. Gen. Taylor did not arrive 1T Saltillo
until some tine in February, nearly month after
Gen. Worhs division left that city. Il will be seen
that the Governors speech spoiled by official cor
respondence. What pity it is that Mexico did not
have telegraph so that the old General could have
sent few tears by lightning
in the concluding part of his speech he endeavored
to catch the free soil VOTE He stated that there were
10 free States and 10 slaveholding States, and that
should the line be drawn in the u s. Senate between
the North and South, the vote would stand 30 to 30
tie. But. said he, if Cass and Butler should be
elected, Gen. Butler, being from save-holding State
would give the casting vote for the South; but elect
the Wing candidates, and MIR. Fillmore will give the
casting vote for the North. The Governor did not
pursue this question furter-he found that it was for
point. He might have added according to the same
parity of reasoning, that Gen. Taylor being from the
South tcould reio measure Of The Northern free soil
party.
His whole speech was made up Of the same kind
of humbuggery. In short, every position that he
sumed was of such character that BY pursuing the
point little further would auhihate the conclusions
he attempted to force upon his audience. The
of the Wing party is. to say to the South elect Taylor
and your cherished institutions safe-and TO The
North elect the Wing nominees and Fillmore will
give the casting vote for the North. The Southern
Wing press has reiterated the sentiment that Gen
Taylor's interests, his feelings, all with the
South"
| The Governor could not conclude without sgain
telling the people that he loved his country and that
they must rally and the country in this contest
it would be late-and the days of the republic
would be numbered. He did not want any oiice,-
he was too old-but when he saw his country in
condition in which she likely to suffer he was
ready to lend his assistance. You have many good
men, said the Governor, in your State-let them take
the field Indeed, you have one very talentnd.youn
man in your own community. | hope, said he, that
he will do great service in this and that you
will hear from him often. The Governor concluded
when the crowd scattered.
If they have any Wing speakers of the same
sort in Kentucky, let them come overt is fun for
the Democrats to hear them.
