loudly called Tor. took the stand, and warmly
cheeTed. He opened with the remark that he perhaps
good naturcd and cool man, under all circum
stances, TO address acceptaby meeting called under
some excitement, and acting under sudden, but no
doubt honest impulse. lie always inclined 10
take the world AS II was, and to take easiy-perhaps
too easilyevcTything il came along whether in the
way Of business politics. He was disposed % look
At this matter now Immediately before this meeting
with elaboration and Ii was well known that be
had been Clay all through from the beginning
that he had sustained him the clear preference of the
state Philadelphia and only into the support of
Gen. Taylor under the decision of the majority,
which he telt bound submit. tie had acquiesced in
that decision though disappointed in the result and
had been disposed 10 overlook circumstances that had
tTanspired since. entirely coming up the eXpec
tations OF the Wings IN regard 10 Gen TsylOrs position
He had swallowed great many things from Gen Iay-
Tor without making any very WY faces-but this ChAr

10 night Laughter and applause lie preferred TO look
al II all round. and inc II carefully. before taking
any decisive action. He advised his fellow Wings TO
take time to dehberate-lest they might take step
which they could not rrtrace Above all. he trusted
nothing would be done which would contribute TO the
election OF Gen. Cass. such result was IN all cases
10 be deprecated by the Whigs As 10 this Charleston
nomination in itseli the Wings cared little nothing
about H. They expected nothing from south Corohns,
and II they could gel s vote for half the Wing ticket
Il would be clear gain 10 the Wings OF the North. But
that meeting having discarded Mr. Fillmore and Gen
Taylor having IN effect cOnniN ed al that opposition his
