OH ZAcK AND THE MISSISSIPPI REGIMENT.

OLp ZAck AND The MISSISSIPPI REGIMENT.
The Louisville Journal says:--
"The Mississippi Regiment, numbering about
300 came up from New Orleans on the steamer
General Lafayette. AT Baton Rouge they found
Gen, Taylor upon the wharf and gave him three
tremendous cheers. The whole might of their
lungs was wreaked upon the effort. One Of the
best known and most respectable gentlemen OF
this State, who came up on the Lafayette, in
forms us that lie made it his business to go among
the officers and men of The regiment, ana to
make enquiries as To their votes upon the Prcsi-
dental question, and that he did not find soil
i1rJ man among them all ,cho did not auop de-
Termination 10 rote for Gen. Taylor"
A great many Loco Focos, who are Disguised
with the vaciHting course of Gov. Cass, are Ia
king ground for the Wing candidate. Among
them our last OHIO papers bring us the names OF
Judge Humphrey, OF Summit county, and Col.
Robinson of Dover. The Old Hero will gain
more than he will lose in Ohio Albany Ere
LWn1l
We know of few in these parts, who have
hitherto acted with the Cass party, that are out
for Gen. Taylor.
The New-Yurk Globe, Barnburner says:
ave do not desire to say one . ord III refer
cree to the difficulties among the Wings. We
have already said that Taylor would defeat Cass.
In saying THIS considered the whole extent Of
the Wing grumbllng aud lis whole force"
"SErrING UP WITH THE SICK" In Ohio, it
is said that when II lUcotuco ls heard ct who Is
disposed 10 olt on Cass, an ofice-holder is sent
to attend to him, and they call 1t "setlng up
with the sickm' The sickness" is spreading
to a fearful extent and the greatest alarm is felt
among the office holders lest there shall not be
" well ones enough TO take cure OF the invalids."
The People ARE Coming On last (ilon-
dav) evening, one of the most glorious and en-
,husastic popular demonstrations ever witnessed
in ilarrisburgh, took place at the Court House,
in tais borough. 1t came together at very short
notice, given through some handbllls that were
posted through The town on Saturday last The
asscmbuge was truly mighty gathering Of the
People. The Court House WAS packed and
cramned with human masses, until it could hold
30 more. Compared with the Cass Ratltica-
ton meeting week or two previous in the same
place, 1t was IN proportion of more than ten to
one in favor of the Taylor Demonstration.
